Beef Slices with Pesto

If there is one thing I want to buy for my kitchen is a Pierrade. I love this cooking concept, which is cooking your food tabletop on a heated stone. Like the Fondue or Raclette, I find that it creates a fun and entertaining ambiance at the dining table whether you are having a family meal or having guests over. Click here and here for previous posts where I have enjoyed a Pierrade. But unlike the Fondue and Raclette, I still have yet to purchase my own Pierrade machine. But tonight, I really felt like having beef slices, so I thought I'd experiment and prepare it Pierrade-style stove-top. It turned out good, not as good as the original (taste and ambiance-wise), but good.

Au Bon Chalet in Solgne, France

We spent the afternoon with Dad at the rehabilitation center again. Today was a hot, good day and one that we've been waiting for a loooonnnngggg time! Longer days and sunshine are much appreciated! Dad's hospital room was warm and stuffy when we arrived, so we took the opportunity to open all his windows and walk around the park. There were times when the sun was really hitting hard that we had to hide under the tree shades. SO ran around like a mad kid, picking up any wild flowers she saw to make a nice bouquet for her papy. We left the place close to dinner time and I knew we were going to eat out. When we were driving through Delme, France, MR mentioned the little chalet / restaurant in Solgne, France. It's so pretty that we always stare at it whenever we drive by. I remembered there were outdoor tables and I thought, perfect! Our first outdoor terrace meal - yay! :)

Beef Balls and Bean Sprouts

Today's dish is all about finishing yesterday's ingredients for the Pho Vo Vien. The only thing we managed to finish were the noodles but we had heaps of beef balls, coriander, and bean sprouts leftovers. I hate throwing away perfectly good food, so I thought I'd throw them all together in a pan instead and call it lunch today.

Pho Vo Vien / Vietnamese Beef Ball Noodle Soup

After the very successful crab paste testing yesterday, I was excited to try the rest of my food buys. When I saw these beef balls, I knew right away that I wanted to make a soup. I am a big big fan of soups like this. Mostly because it brings back wonderful memories of my childhood, but also because I love Asian cuisine. I've actually made similar soups, even making my own meatballs, but these store-bought ones were pretty good! I reckon I did pretty good in my last shopping spree!

Crab Paste Rice and Egg Omelette

Preparing MR's lunch made me think back to the time I was still going to school. Throwback Thursday, I guess. Growing up, I can't remember ever bringing a lunchbox to school. I know I did, I must have, but for the love of me, I don't know what kind of food I used to bring. I do however remember what a close friend used to bring. She was Korean and a really good friend of mine in elementary. She must have caught me staring  at her lunchbox one day because that day she asked me if I'd like a taste. It looked exactly like the photo above but I had no idea what it was. It turned out to be White Rice mixed with a can of Tuna Afritada and topped with an Egg Omelette. A spoonful and I was hooked to that taste. I've made it several times myself since and it just gets better and better! Unfortunately, I can't find cans of Tuna Afritada here so I wondered if it would work with the crab paste I just bought. And you know what? It's even better!!!

Ly Kim Thanh in Metz, France, the Second Time

It felt weird to go back home empty-handed. Since the first Asian store we visited didn't really have anything we wanted to buy, we made our way to the Asian store we really love - Ly Kim Thanh! This time I bought (and paid) twice as much as the last time. After all, I did mention that I would slowly buy and try every item in the store! :)
