While you are there go to this awesome hotpot place in Sha Tin Wai
Just for reference its on the line that takes you to China but you gotta switch to the brown one. The place is right across the street from the Sha Tin Wai MTR station.
http://www.mtr.com.hk/eng/train/images/MTR_routemap.jpg
All you can eat for only 60 HKD a person if you split the table fee among a few people and includes drinks (glass bottled soda at that)
There is a shit ton of choices of what to choose for the pot. Best choice you will make while you are there! Pics are from when I was living in HK last year.
Ignore the electric one, I think that was one of the employees eating there. All of the tables use a big ass gas burner.
Dam if I do get the chance to go back in a few months I will definitely go back there.

That looks great. What's in it other than broccoli and cheese?
The recipe is from here: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Broccoli-Soup-with-Cheddar-Cheese-104692
Just wanted to share I discovered an awesome Japanese noodle which I will only buy now.
This is awesome unlike the generic Maruchan noodles which lose their firmness easily.
I'd have to say it's the best I've found so far but it is pricey - relative to normal cheap ramen. At $2 a pack with 2 packets of noodles its not too bad, I'm willing to spend extra to get a better meal. Unless I find another noodle that is priced about the same and is much better quality I am sticking to these forever.
Time to find a place where I can buy it thru the carton-load

Kale and chickpea stew served on top of some quick garlic bread and topped with a fried egg. I love eggs.
it was a dried pasta, just plain and simple, but worth every penny:Zyzyxxz said:

Some recent Thai curry takeout from a supposedly good local restaurant:
Bland, wimpy sauce (even though advertised as spicy), extremely dried-out chicken; lame. Sorta par for the course around here when it comes to Asian food, unfortunately.
Although not directly comparable, this homemade off-the-shelves and from-the-fridge frankenstein was a lot better:

use an onion with the inner layers hollowed out.
Anyway does anybody have a recipe for Vietnamese baked egg loaf? I've been trying to find one to make at home. Damn I've fallen in love with it after trying it at one of the best local Vietnamese restaurants in my area.
sure yeah. pretty straightforward.kassatsu said:
serves about 4:
pumpkin, 700 grams
quorn, tofu or chicken, 250 - 400 grams
chick peas, 400 grams
coconut milk, up to 500 ml
coriander
curry powder
pepper, salt, sugar
- peel pumpkin (i used butternut) and cut it up into cubes or sticks
- if you use meat, you have to stir fry it at this point, before everything else and take it out of the pan after a few minutes to add later
- stir fry the pumpkin in some oil, i used coconut oil
- add some curry powder, pepper and salt to the pumpkin
- at this point you can put the lid on and cook until the pumpkin is soft
- if you use tofu or quorn you can add it now together with the chopped up coriander and chick peas
- fry for a few more minutes
- add coconut milk
- now add at least one tablespoon of curry powder and one tablespoon of sugar
- salt and pepper to taste
- let it simmer for a couple minutes
- if you're using meat, add it back in now
- serve with basmati rice

Hey Onkel! I have a question, I'm a ski teacher in Fieberbrunn and when I'm there I eat a lot of wurstsalat.

Please bare in mind that I am from holland and im not sure if we have the sausage needed for it (we have Aldi and LIDL though)
I hope you can help me out!!

Slidewinder: I like bangkok cafe, they have a variety of interesting fried rice.
However, the homemade thai curries in here make me want to save cash and just do it myself

Curry is easy to make and cheap to procure.
I never order curry outside, rarely only if I can't decide what to eat and usually I only will if the curry is known to be good at that particular restaurant.
IMO curry isnt a restaurant type food (unless a restaurant wants to specialize in it) since I believe it should be slow cooked.
It's not expensive either, all you need is a stable of curry powders, onions, and buy the meat the day you plan to use it if using any at all. Veges are always cheap, relatively.

Yeah, I'd heard good things about them from others, too. Maybe I just got a bum dish.Owed T'Alex said:
If you feel like making your own (assuming you are a Tucsonan), the 17th St Market has a good selection of imported curry pastes and spice blends. Really easy to make. I've had better luck with the pastes, although if you use fresh cilantro like jarosh did above, the powders can be good.

VEGAN mac and cheese. Yes boys and girls, I've done the unthinkable. It's actually quite good. Especially with some roasted brussel sprouts.
When I was a kid, I used to think that white people ate mac and cheese and brussel sprouts ALL the time because that's what the TV shows said.
really fine stuff, everybody!
I got an unspectacular weekend schedule ahead, today I'll visit a few honoraries at the annual Bridge Festival in Solingen, tomorrow will be Schnitzel time.
to get an idea of the "bridge", have a look here:

Zyzyxxz: That same platter has been sitting in one of the cupbords in the breakroom at my job for several years. How weird.
Dad's birthday recently so I did a day's worth of cooking.
These are the some of the stuff that was made and those by me personally.
Except for two dishes, I don't know whether the rest of the stuff has an English name so I'm going by literal description from Thai/Laos. Cooking prep/time took anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour and a half.
Pictures where taken just a couple minutes after they were done.
Boiled sweet soup with baby eggs, diced chicken and tofu.
Thai curry with potatoes and diced chicken.
Thai/Laos stir fry with baby mushrooms, corn, scallops and shrimp.
Fried rice with cut up scrambled eggs.
Steak stir fry with tomatoes, garlic in sauce.
Forgot to add this one. Arguably my favorite dish. Swordfish with various herbs and spices, the works.

A few pictures from yesterdays field trip:
Autumn is here
It's fuckin' hard to capture the massive bridge in one picture, here's a huuuuuuuuuuuge pic of it:
That's three train wagons:
A steam train blowin above the heads:
To get the culinary side covered, i got the wife a bag of local specialty "Wupperschlamm" (aka "Wupper mud", named after the river Wupper), the folks from the region sure have appealing names for their foods...
Anyway, it's a spicy gingerbread and tasted fine:
This is the place we had dinner at:
http://www.ruedenstein.de/
the wife went with a "Kottenbutter", an open-faced od closed sandwich from dark rye bread with a smoked sausage, onion rings and hot mustard (stock pic):
I had a "Jägertopf", pork loin medallions with a dark mushroom cream sauce and Spaetzle (think away the tots, add spaetzle):
Dessert was a "Bergische Waffel" with rice pudding, hot cherries and cream (add a big slab of rice pudding to the image which was stolen from ze web):
Enjoy!
