Another food post!
During Chap Goh Meh on Sunday, Uncle Vincent and his wife Cass dropped off a lovely surprise package in conjunction with my cousin Baby Elsa's 满月(full-month) celebration.
Wrapped in paper and still warm was a generous slab of succulent roast pork. I don't know where they bought it from, it was so damn good! I had barely had enough before it was all gobbled up by the ravenous boyfriend.
There was also a pretty strawberry mousse cake and half a dozen of those 'lucky red eggs' which are always a must during auspicious Chinese occasions.
Anyway I'm not a fan of hard-boiled eggs (I take mine soft-boiled), so with those being left in the fridge, I thought it'd be a good idea to whip up a Potato, bacon and egg salad :D
It took me longer than anticipated but turned out really yummy!
The magic is definitely in the mayo. I'm not a big fan of mayo but Bev and Bjorn recommended this German one called Thomy and it's pretty good.

Apart from the mayo (I used up a 235g jar), I've also chucked in:
4 hard-boiled eggs (peeled and diced into cubes), 3 desiree potatoes (boiled and diced), chopped chives, salt and black pepper (to taste), sprinkle of sugar, dash of dill, bacon (about 120g, diced, pan-fried and absorbed of excess oil), and a red apple. Yes APPLE, I kid you not. The crisp sweetness of it somehow goes really well with the creamy and savoury egg and potato!
I'd also use freshly-cracked black pepper next time if available, and a teaspoon or two of wholegrain mustard. Other than that, heaps of estimation with the other ingredients, as always. Give it a go and let me know what you think :)

Beef and Guinness stew
Eddie and I are big fans of Guinness!
It's been gloomy and rainy and chilly since the weekend, and with so much uncooked Porterhouse steak leftover from the BBQ on Friday, what better time to whip up this hearty Irish stew for dinner?
It's pretty easy to make so if anybody wants the recipe, let me know. I use a lot of estimation though, so don't trust my measurements too much! Pandai sendiri agak2 je and just season to taste :)
Alright I'm off to get myself a second helping.
