Lovely Dining Experience@ Radhey Heavenly Delights

Hi folks! I stumbled upon this fine dining Indian Vegetarian restaurant at Groupon and finally found time to try out their 5 course meal yesterday wih hubby & kids.

As it's hard to find Indian vegetarian cuisine without onion and garlic, this restaurant is a rare find; no onion, no garlic, no animal rennet for their yummy cottage cheese, plenty of choices from Indian cuisine, eggless cake, pasta to pizza..plus they have takeaway, deliveries, catering services too! Awesome place for Indian food lovers.

Service are excellent and DH & KY gives a thumbs-up to their food. I personally loved their curry which doesn't gives me the spicy & heaty after taste..must be the way they cook it, ingredient as well as the combination of yogurt and special mayonnaise yummy..

My next trip will be to try out their pasta, pizza and eggless cake :)

15mins Lunch Pack: Asian Staples-Rice

Hi folks! My western friends finds fried rice amazing...here's two of the fried rice I've made for lunch, one using five grain rice(quinoa, millet, brown rice,etc) with pumpkin+organic tofu cubes, another one using basmati rice cooked ahead of time with mixed Vege and non-GMO soy-based sausage. Stir-frying is about 10mins, cutting/preparing the ingredients is 5 mins...yummy meal is ready to pack ;)

15 min. Lunch pack: Omelette with Noodles

Hi folks! What comes into my mind when comes to preparing meals are wholesome(think vitamin, protein, minerals, carbo), colours(I tried to have 5 colors per meal both for variety of nutrients as well as presentation), time of preparation and what's available in fridge/pantry.
Here's a wholesome omelet with eggs, vegetarian non-GMO sausage(reddish), seaweed(black), cabbage(yellow), tomato(orange),mushroom(brown), sprinkle of mozzarella cheese..and a bit of organic brown sugar and salt/soysauce for taste..on top of a Kon Lou noodle(Vits noodle cooking on hot boiling water while omelet is being cooked), once done scoop up the omelet, off the fire and mix the gravy(sesame oil, brown sugar, olive oil, dark soysauce/ blackstrap molasses) with the water-drained Vits noodle. I love mixing the noodle in the big pan..so much easier, faster to get it evenly mixed..so omelet on to of noodle packed away in thermos/heat retained lunch box..yummy...next time I would try to substitute black olives in place of seaweed should taste awesome ..hmm think pizza noodles haha..

Mini hill climbing with friends..26.2.2012

First attempt for KY and SE, KY managed to climb up all the way to the top without much assistance, leading all the way. However the blisters make her needing piggyback on daddy all the way down the hill.
As for SE, halfway up the hill, he requested to be carried. Daddy obliged up to a point on a steep slope heading towards the stop when mommy put a stop. I managed to find him a walking stick to "bribe" him to walk down himself with me beside him while DH continued to the top to join KY.
Bravo SE, u managed to walk down the hill on your own!!! Yippee! What a good workout we had today not to mentioned such friendly groups of people young and old who greeted us up and down the hill... A good place to meet some healthy friends ;)

15 minute lunch pack: Stir-fry Fusilli

Hi folks! Fusilli is one of the of pasta I cooked often besides macaroni. Reason being it is easy to cook and easy to eat with spoon. Lately I colleague told me she would soak the pasta before cooking them and another colleague of DH just cook it without boiling them. For me, I am used to how he westerners do it, first cook them in hot boiling water(with added salt for faster cooking) & Chinese way of adding a bit of oil in the boiling water so that the pasta won't stick together ( another way to do this is to run thru the pasta over cold water right after it is cooked so it won't stick and would be "kiu"/chewy texture). Same as ramen, while the pasta is cooking(takes about 10mins), I would stir-fry black olives(taste great to replace garlic), broccoli(for faster cooking I might even put the broccoli over the top of the pasta; it will turn soft and cooked faster), mushroom, soy-ham, herbs and whatever I have at hand. Once done I would add bit of olive oil, if better use olive oil in the entire stir-fry and u will find the pasta with very nice fragrance..yummy..Easy peasy rite..15minutes and lunch pack is ready! ;)
