Into the world of Ramsey and Yan

Last night, I tried my hand at making rendang. Now, I can only assume that most of you know how twisted my logic can be sometimes so this was ALOT different from a normal rendang dish. Right, I got the spice packet from Chung Ying again so that's as aunthentic as can be. But I had this packet of pork belly which I wanted to use to make tau you bak but I still haven't gotten the recipie to make that yet (:D). So, got the pork belly out and chopped it up, dumping them into the mixture shown below in figure 1.

Figure 2 shows the end of letting the gravy simmer for abt 50mins and after siphoning all the oil out of the dish. It was only about 30mins in that I realised the reason why pork probably wasn't such a good idea because of all the oil that seeps out when cooking it. To be fair, the packet only asked for chicken, beef or lamb. What can I say? I like to do things differently.

Finally, the piece de resistance. Pork rendang with spaghetti...hahaha. It makes for an interesting meal to be honest. The sauce was excellent, really flavourful and the pork was pretty alright. There you go...figure 3!

Haven't confirmed anything yet except my trip to Belfast, Northern Ireland for Dave's birthday. I can forsee alot of drinking..hope I'll survive! Can't wait to see this group of people again.
