Recently, I finally found a recipe for making a chocolate fondant, as before I can only find the recipes for chocolate pudding.
Actually, it’s a lovely dessert which recalls my memory when I was in HK … chatting and laughing with my best friends after delicious meal in a small cafe in Kowloon Tong!!
The recipe is listed below:
1. Turn the oven on to 180 degree.
2. Brush the insides of the aluminium mould with soft butter, then spoon in some cocoa powder. Turn the mould in a circular motion and tap until the inside surface is fully covered with the cocoa powder.
3. Place the (50g) dark chocolate and (25g) butter in the heat-proof bowl, and place it over a pan of bowling water. Leave it to melt.
4. Beat the (2) eggs in a separate bowl. Slowly incorporate sugar. Mix until airy and fluffy.
5. Sieve the (25g) all purpose flour into the melted chocolate-butter mixture. Mix until no flour crumbles are seen.
6. Now add the egg mixture into the chocolate-butter mixture so they are both in the same bowl.
7. Pour the mixture into the prepared aluminium mould. Place into the oven for 8 – 10 minutes.
8. Serve with ice-cream, seasonal fruits (Mango slices and puree sauce) and a sprinkle of icing sugar.
Unfortunately, I failed to make it ---- the chocolate inside didn’t melt and come out as expected. Anyway, it still looks pretty good, doesn’t it? I will try it again.
Hope to share a successful one with you all very soon.

Parmesan Lamb Cutlet with Green Bean Salad
As per some requests, below is the cooking steps :
Parmesan Lamb Cutlet
1. Dip the cutlet in flour (shake off the excess) and egg, coat in the mixture of breadcrumb and shredded parmesan.
2. Arrange the cutlets in a single layer on a plate, cover and chill for at least 30 mins.
3. Preheat the oven to 180 degree with fan.
4. Grill the cutlets in the oven for 12 - 15 mins. Turn it over after 10 mins.
(Since the cutlet is coated with the mixture, even grilling the texture is still very soften and juicy)
Green Bean Salad
1. Cook the green beans in boiling water with salt for 2 - 3 mins.
2. Afterwards, transfer the beans immediately to ice-water bowl and chill
3. Cut a small red onion in thin slice
4. Blend 1 small garlic clove, 3 pieces of lemon skin, 2 tbs of fresh lemon juice, 3 tbs of extra-virgin olive oil, 1 tbs of sugar, pinch of coarse salt and pepper
(After blending, the sauce looks like a creamy puree but it is very healthy)
5. Combine the green beans, red onion and the sauce mixture when serving

英式Scone
經過一次不是太成功的經驗, 雖然太太都覺得口感及味道唔錯, 看似在香港吃到的KFC鬆餅 (比較大了一點...) 估唔到第二次就可以成功做到好似一些高級酒店裡所吃到的英式Scone作為我倆星期六的Afternoon Tea.
其實, 在澳洲很多Cafe都可以買到所謂的Scone, 但實質上,它的口感卻比較像一般的麵包, 我就覺得根本談不上做Scone, 可能他們原意就不是要做那些英式的Scone吧!?
初步完成後的麵糰及壓出後Scone初形...
焗製過程進行中及完成後的Scone...
再配合最近添置嘅茶具, 更増添幾分品味...
如有興趣, 可以參考以下Recipe 的網址 (而且提供埋Video, 包保每個程序都好清楚)

健康肉絲炒麵
點解健康？ 因為少油。。。
一般肉絲炒麵，都會先將麵條放入滾油裏煎到兩面金黃色（俗稱：兩面黃）。 但我嘗試用焗爐Grill 幾分鐘，同樣都可以做出兩面黃的效果。 哈哈！！ 真估唔到，我真係都有啲下廚天份！！
當然，最後再加上炒好嘅肉絲，冬菇絲，芽菜同調味芡汁，就完成這美味簡單而又健康的肉絲炒麵啦。。。

MasterChef Australia
睇完標題, 唔好以為我咁自大, 自以為係MasterChef Australia!!
只不過近期, 澳洲一個電視台砲製了一系列頗受歡迎的真人Show - MasterChef Australia. 講述一眾參賽者 (所有都是業餘煮食愛好者) 通過多重比賽試煉及淘汰下, 最終勝利的一位將會成為首位澳洲MasterChef.
之前亦特別到香港作賽一星期, 對於外國人來講, 在香港所睇到的煮食方法, 他們都覺得很新奇, 但對於我來說又不是怎麼特別. 今晚, MasterChef Australia就會誕生.
其實我睇得多, 都增加咗我煮食嘅興趣... 以上三款新作, 覺唔覺得都有啲餐廳Feel 呢?

Extraordinary Pantene Commercial
This is really simple and brilliant. The story of a deaf and mute girl who learns to play the violin against all. One of the most touching advertisements.

Delicious Dish
Actually, I found a lot of fun after migrated to Australia. Although, it takes times to fit in. Obviously, I got more spare time to do what ever I want, no matter reading and travel around.
The greatest enjoygable things are searching the recipes on the Internet and take action to do it.
