Culinary Adventures: Lasagna and Chocolate Lava Cake

It's Singapore's birthday today so if you're Singaporean and reading this...HAPPY NATIONAL DAY!

Was kind of in a red and white festive mood today and decided to attempt making lasagna(ok so lasagna isn't exactly red and white!). I have to say that the ingredients weren't cheap plus it's a lot of work for just one dish! Not only do you have to first cook the minced beef with the gravy, there's also the bechamel sauce you need to make so that it has that creamy texture on the overall(but I omitted it in this instance as I was a bit lazy). The box on the lasagna pasta mentioned that there was no need to precook the pasta but to be honest, I think it would've turned out much better even if it had been parboiled a bit before popping into the oven to bake.

So anyway, here are the pictures from today's culinary experiment.



It was SL's birthday as well two days ago and I decided to make chocolate lava cake for her. The thing about chocolate lava cake is that it's actually extremely easy to make (you don't even need a mixer!) and it's really all about underbaking it to perfect timing. Was rather pleased with the overall results and served with vanilla ice-cream and raspberries, it was really yummy!
