Red Cray Restaurant

I went to this restaurant with my parents, uncle and aunt, and a family friend when my parents visited Perth in April. Hahah.. and I am only writing about this in September :p

The food wasn't too bad, but wasn;t as good as I have expected. However, this restaurant is always so busy and if you want to dine there, you have to make reservation 1 week in advance (at least). We got in last minute thanks to my cousin who works there.
It was my shout that night and the bill came to about $250.00 after staff discount, thanks again to my cousin. So it was about $60 per person, mind you, that's because we ordered the most expensive dishes in the restaurant. We ordered 2 executive seafood platters, dad had lobster and with risotto, uncle had steak with lobster.

This is the executive platter that I shared with mom. The platter is meant for 2 persons. Mom doesn't take butter nor cheese. So she ate most of the lobster while I eat the cheesy fish.


Dad's lobster and prawn risotto. I didn't think dad enjoyed the dinner as he doesn't fancy seafood and he loves having rice for dinner. He asked me what's risotto, I told him it is rice, short rice... haha he didn't like it. He said it tasted funny. I told him not to touch his food till I took a pic of it, he asked me why must I take pic of all the food he eats. Hahaha...

Sweet and Sour Pork

Wow.. I have been so slack with my food blog. I have so many pics in my folder but I was so lazy to blog about them :( I fail as a food blogger ><


Anyway, made this several times and tasted pretty good. :)


Excuse the bad picture, think my hands shook again :(

Ingredients:

400g Pork (chops or tenderloin), pound the meat then slice

2 onion

1 large green capsicum

Canned pineapple cubes


Marinade:

1 tsp light soy sauce

1/4 tsp dark soy sauce

1 small egg

1 tbsp tapioca flour/plain flour


Sauce:

3 tbsp tomato sauce

1 tbsp oyster sauce

1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

1-1/2 tbsp sugar

1/2 tbsp vinegar

1/4 tsp salt or to taste

1/2 cup water


Marinate pork for a couple of hours.


Fry the pork slices till it is golden brown. This is a healthier way. I did try to deep fry the meat and taste good as well.


Slice onion and sauté till softened.


Add in capsicum. When capsicum is slightly soften, pour in the sauce ingredients. Bring the sauce to boil.


Return meat to the wok and add in pineapple.


Cook till the meat is covered by the sauce. Dish out and serve with rice.


Yum!
