A long due post about my cooking attempts during Spring Break.
This is the ingredient for "Quail soup" ... I got the idea from here. Since I didn't have chicken ready at that time (and to lazy to buy one =P), I substituted it with squid balls and meat balls! LOL That's something that I always have ready in my refrigerator.
I shaped the carrots like little flower. Eniwei, my substitution decision turned out to be a disaster. I forgot my husband doesn't even like the smell of squid balls. He complained that the soup tasted fishy =( Well for me, this was still a good soup, but I might be biased since I like all kind of soupy dishes. Next time, i will stay true to the original recipe and use chicken. I want to know the original taste. Oh, i forgot to take the finished picture =P
The second recipe here, come from a very talented little chef which happens to be our friend =)
I honestly tried my best not to move them in the pan but still they unwrapped themselves to my disappointment =(
That's all i tried to make during Spring Break. Most of them were tasty =) ... although they didn't look that good *hehe* Will try some recipe again if i have the time.

Bacon Wrapped Asparagus
Ingredients:
- asparagus (2 stalks for 1 person) - (not too thick and not too thin)
- bacon
- kosher salt and black pepper
- olive oil
- Wash asparagus and dry with paper towel, cut the ends off.
- Cut each asparagus in half
- Sprinkle the asparagus with kosher salt, black pepper and drizzle with olive oil (don't put too much salt as bacon is salty)
- Wrap two halves of asparagus (one whole stalk) with bacon, cut the bacon in half if it's too long, seam side down
- Refrigerate until you're ready to fry it.
- Drizzle the pan with olive oil and heat it over medium-high heat, put the bacon-wrapped asparagus, seam side down on the hot pan in one layer.
- Don't move it around so get you get a nice caramelization and brown color. Turn it over once you get a nice color (only turn it once)
- Transfer it to a paper towel-lined plate, cover with al foil to keep it warm
