Fried rice with whatever I can lay my hands on. In fact, I would refrain cooking something that requires more than 30min of preparation + cooking time. But I don't mind eating some well prepared food though. :) C K My signature dish? Fried rice with whatever I can lay my hands on.

J pops a pizza in the oven if he's home alone...never bothers to cook anything. But I have to say, after years of me pushing him to try to pick up some simple recipes so that I can have a "day off"....he's now pretty good at making nasi goreng and kway teow (all the much simpler dishes..) and steaming some dumplings (siew mai). And his chilli-tolerance has been definitely improved since meeting me. He does do the odd British dishes as well which I love. He's actually pretty good at it...if he just relaxes and not get so worked up about it! LOL I know exactly what you mean!!

I hv told my bros abt this dilemma n they tried to inspire him by asking him to join in the acitvities on sunday lunches (yes, the men provides the goodies to the ladies on the weekend - hehe)during our visit in SG. He seems happy to help but it's back to square one the moment we r back here *heads shaking* His reasons were that I dont like what he cooks (true lah). He tends to mask his dishes with an over-kill of indo spices, so long the taste is hot (yeah, he's a sambal king !). We hv cookbooks with SG recipes which he likes when I made them but he never attempts to make them for me - ever ! When he has to eat alone, he simply makes a cheese sandwich n a cup of tea - sigh, sigh, what is a girl to do with a man like that ?
