Day 3: Dinner for 1, Asparagus and baby carrots with fresh scallop


No kidding! The food was so good I gobbled it up and forgot to take a picture of it.

Step 1: Pour oil into frying pan and apply low heat.

Step 2: Place fresh clams on frying pan and allow it to heat slowly.

Step 3: Boil a pot of carrots and asparagus simultaneously.

Step 4: When carrots start to turn soft, transfer contents of pot into frying pan.

Step 5: Add salt, pepper, soy sauce, and some cut mushrooms into the frying pan.

Step 6: Stir-fry till mushrooms are cooked. (Contents of pot would be cooked too!)

Step 7: Serve! (erm...wanton mee was a disaster, anybody care to teach me how to cook it?)

Just so that this blog stays true to its name "Photo-holic"... Here are some random pictures to appease you angry mobs out there who have been hounding me down for the past few months to update my blog. Enjoy.

Day 2: Dinner for 1, Baked Clams

Buying too much can be a problem in the states, everything is sold in bulk here.
Hence, creative imaginations must be put to good use to satisfy this finicky palate of mine.

Step 1: Place thawed clams on aluminium foil-wrapped tray.

Step 2: Preheat oven to 450 deg. F before placing the clams in for 20mins.


Step 3: Take baked clams out of oven and place thin slices of cheese into clams. (Note: Wait for clam shells to open up if they haven't already.) Bake for another 5 mins at a lower heat.

Step 4: Take out baked clams from the oven. Cheese should be melted.

Step 5: Enjoy!!

Here at Connecticut

Hi! I'm currently in Manchester City in the state of Connecticut.

Checked-in to a cosy apartment-like hotel upon touching down.

Pictures of my room can be found in the following link:

After a long flight, the adventurous spirit came soon after a night's sleep.

Woke up the next day raring to see what's in the neighbourhood and look at what I found!
