Sunday Sentosa Picnic ... ala Iron Chef

It was a crazy picnic by the beach on last Sunday morning.  We had went picnic at Sentosa's Palawan beach with my ex-classmates Brian and Natalie, and their 3 lovely lovely kids.  We departed from home at 8:30am, 30minutes later than original plan.  It was a crazy days... party means we need to prepare food.  We have "splitted the job" that we prepare the main meal while Brian & Nat prepare fruits, drinks and steamed corn. 

With quite minimal prep the day before, cooking on that groomy Sunday morning was stressful.  My mom was responsible for her specialty, the famous Kuching kolok mee, while i buzzed the way through preparing the rest of the item.  We have prepared 2 main menu:

1.  Kids meal which was comprises of Corn & Chicken burger and Pineapple & Cocktail Sausage skewer.  I've gotten the idea from one of our favourite website www.freshforkids.com.au. 

...I'm so sorry... we did have time to take a photo on the food because we were rushing as I've overslept that morning.  The pictures above are from fresh for kids website.  Anyway, cutting the nonsense, the recipe are on the website.

2.  Regular adult meal which children seems to enjoy it too.  We made kolok mee, Caesar salad (again!!  cos it's our favourite), kim-bab (Korean Sushi... in our own way just as Frank Sinatra said) and open face egg and tuna mayo sandwiches. 



That's 6 items planned to be done in 2 hours time, but ended up finished in just 1.5 hour with help of my sister washing the delicious romaine lettuce.  phew !!  Isn't that like Iron Chef ... hahaha.  ...don ever wake up late again.

It was tiring, but worth it because i think everyone enjoy the food very much.  Not forgetting the tonnes and tonnes of food and drinks Brian and Nat brought.  few whole whole whole tubs of guava with sng-boi-hoon (drooling), strawberries, grapes, hamimelon, rose apples, plum, and sweet corns... can u imagine?  a small picnic turned into a all-u-can-eat (and probably tapau) buffet  :D

We will share the recipe for Caesar salad (again... our way like Frank Sinatra said... it's not necessarily the authentic or the best taste).  Nat seems to like it...

Well... what is the moral of today's story?  All food can be prepared at home... not necessary to buy from shops or re-heat from factory processed food.  See, we are different.  We do not fried chicken nugget or fish ball.  Remember, we are what we eat... especially important to feed our kids right.  ... oh ya... don forget... if you have party... better not overslept  :D

Well... it was a fun picnic which we should do agian.  The kids enjoy it very much and the adults gets to catch up ...while chasing the kids around.  :D
