Still Vegetarian X Imma Veteran: The ReOpening of Stephelle’s Kitchen

pacing at Sen-Q

can’t make up my mind, seriously

induction cooker, rice cooker, multi-purpose cooker??

 

like father like daughter

we are the hea-ing duo

not wanting to make up my mind

of which cooker to buy

hanging around at the Chinaman’s stall

lazing on the rocking chair

 

he does sell cooking appliances too

in fact there are three

soy bean machine, pressure cooker and induction cooker

compared to the multi-choices one-stop electronic shop

the choices are narrowed down to three

and since he gave us a pretty good bargain

(well.. how many items we have already bought from him?)

finally we didn’t go home empty-handed

 

an induction cooker

the pot that came along wasn’t very good

in fact, I have already made the surface went blackened

since I powered the cooker on,

without putting any thing into the pot

 

and the lid of the pot

I have already crushed the thing

on my way back to condo

at the bottom of the luggage

thank goodness I have put all the cooking utensils

securely in green bags

otherwise I can’t imagine picking all the glasses

 

the FOC pot is therefore

officially being ruined

even before it was put into use

 

I improvised the cooker

with a compatible pan and a steamer

the steamer is originally part and parcel of Miss Elle

her spirit will live on

so I wouldn’t rename Stephelle’s Kitchen

as to the induction cooker downstairs

I will name him.. yes it’s a “him”

Endy in all-black,

will heat’em all up

 

that’s the trial run at home

mix n’ match

Endy with the black pan at the bottom,

containing water for steaming

and (part of) Miss Elle & her lid

there were the meat Pau and Siew Mai in there

 

by the way

this is the good old Miss Elle

who serviced me for a memorable 12 months

Stephelle’s Kitchen – Ms. Elle’s Sick

Stephelle Kitchen – 27 Oct Issue

Stephelle Kitchen - The Green Days  

 

yesterday

one luggage-full of cooking utensils and ingredients supply

how I wish it is rather a luggage-full of M&M’s instead

 

stock-check

all these while

I actually keep an Excel sheet

of all my food inventories with their expiry dates

so that nothing will turn moldy & smelly

there is everything

from veggie to vermicelli

 

the official reopening of Stephelle’s Kitchen

day 1: Veggie Vermicelli

lol what else do you expect

 

have to take out everything else

while waiting for dear Mister Potato to be cooked

 

everything up to the last drop

fits in perfectly in my ceramic bowl

woohoo… feasting time

a tired and long day at school

a raining day with high humidity and stuffiness

nothing will beat a hot bowl of veggie soup

warm and filling… awwwesome

 

ain’t you glad that I am back

since this is an induction cooker

I can do more varieties in the days to come

something like this, perhaps??

 

oh my

but my ultimate wish is to get this

which the Chinaman is selling as well

hope the next trip there, it’s still around

fully automated, grinding boiling

ready for drinking in 20 minutes

and hey check out the brand name

Jiu Yang = Joyoung, joyfully young

salute salute

 

I am so patriotic right

but undeniably as the Chinaman is saying

what ever you are using at home are

MADE IN CHINA

don’t you dare to look down on them
