CREAMY SWISS ROLL

At first really daunting when I first look at the picture. I got the impression that this kind of recipe is not easy to make or will give me a little bit more than just problem, but i carried on trying and hope for the best. " VOILA " I did it. yes I now learn more after making this and watching cooking programme and try it is worth it. Hmmm...... I do sound like an advert for hair shampoo... anyway if I can do it and turn out to be better than expected why not you try this too. surely you can.

VALUE MEALS

Those pictures are just for ilustration purpose.

My mission to find a good restaurant or cafe which serve set value meals is still going. Everywhere I go and live I have tried many The purpose for this is to see if the price charged by the restaurant or cafe is actually match the taste, texture and whole presentation.

Most important thing I need from this mission are hygiene, cleanliness and the friendliness of the waitresses. Timing can be my exception when I know I came in a busy hours but only to some extent.

Some of Restaurant or Cafe's I wrote is base on the day. It might not reflect the whole opinion of people. Some of us will have different taste and acceptance and pictures I use in that particular writing is for image purpose only. I only use real handmade cooking creations pictures for recipes I put in this blog which I have tried to prove and made sure the recipes actually worth to try.

You might find my critics about restaurant or cafe I wrote useful for your own reference, perhaps just to bear in mind that the ultimate result will be all down to your own opinion.

Experiments and experience the foods with open eyes and open mind can be a little bit challenging, why not!!!. It is not the end of the world. I definitely found it useful when cooking for my own family. I can mix and match and put other recipes for different kind of meat products or vegetables. Daring I would say and hey!!! voila it works and I am glad I did it.

By trying all those foods I became more and more critical, not just towards those I have mentioned above but also getting reasonable service.

This made me think with all the good food should compare to good service too. It just does not go well when I enjoy the food but getting bad service.

All of it have to go together and make it a perfect visit and even you think the price is not reasonable you will start justifying the whole package.
