Usually that 2 plates of chicken bolognese is not enough for both of us. So I thought of adding an item to the meal - Garlic Bread.It was a very spontaneous decision and I wasn't very prepared. So I grabbed the minced garlic, spread it over the bread and added some sugar and salt to taste. I set to 'Grill' in Healsio and pull it out when the bread looks lightly Food Loverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11328151180772200080noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1634761860098270052.post-640199903952609862009-04-14T14:00:00.001+08:002009-04-23T12:51:04.747+08:00To my readersHey everyone,I am pleasantly surprised to see that I have quite a number of comments during my few months of absence, and that most of the comments are related to Healsio!Welcome to the world of Healsio, a product that you can rely on for all your cooking! :DOoo... don't I sound like a Healsio promoter?

But no, it not only tasted the same as when I cooked in a rice-cooker, but it also created more work for my hub, whom had use so much strength to scrape off the rice off the claypot. :P It tasted as good (and moist) as before. :) The only thing I must remember is to make it drier Food Loverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11328151180772200080noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1634761860098270052.post-4304372121603379062009-03-25T23:50:00.000+08:002009-04-23T13:51:36.781+08:00Siew MaiHeh.. my version. :P I know I can do better next time!Food Loverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11328151180772200080noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1634761860098270052.post-88661154568382534592009-03-25T13:54:00.000+08:002009-04-23T14:05:25.438+08:00Beancurd RollsMy, it wasn't easy to deep fry the beancurd rolls with pork filling inside.
