Simple Meal for My Daddy's Birthday

It was my Daddy Birthday and this year we have opted to have home cooked food this year.

It is then my job to crack my brain what to cook for the family as both sister-in-laws cant cook. So I have decided the following dishes on my Menu :

Longevity Noodle
Braised Duck (Dad's favourite)
Sweet Sour Pork
Fried Chicken
Broccoli with Egg Toufu
Butter Cereal Prawn
Grilled Pork Ribs

The preparation of the menu starts the day before the actual day as I love the food to be well seasoned and flavours to be absorbed into the food. 

Braised Duck is something which i started as it need a couple of hours to prepare. 

Spare Ribs

8 pcs of Spare Ribs

6 tbspn Hua Tiao Jiu
1/2 bottle of Master Food Red Wine & Garlic Marinate
2 tbspn of Honey

Method:

1. Season all the above ingredients for at least 4 hours.

2. Preheat the oven at 250C. 

3. Place them in a grill pan and grill for 15 mins on each side. Max is 30 mins as the meat will be tough if cooked for too long.

The verdict for this dish...  Yum Yum & fingers licking..
