Anyone tried Borshch or Goulash before?

[snrcitizen]

I read most of the info off the internet! :p:p My borscht recipe is from one of my european friends but the one time i tried cooking was together with her. So fingers crossed if I have to duplicate it again. :p I've not cooked goulash before, but i've eaten it. Not too bad. :p

The reason why I said that real paprika must be used it because otherwise, it'll taste similar our good old chinese meat soups!

I find that modified or non authentic versions of food can sometimes, not always, be most tasty than the original. Like chinese food cooked by japanese, weird but true! :p One of my north chinese friends cook borscht with red cabbage, it's a Heilongjiang (part of china which borders russia) version. My guess is that by the time it filtered down to HK or south china, it became white cabbage instead.

Yeah I can make it for you guys if you want.

From your description, it would seem cooking is one of your favourite pastimes. Sad to say, my strength is only in eating and getting me to cook rice is a challenge in itself. :o

Yes, I know where Heilongjiang is. They probably cook a closer version to the russian borsch - correct me if I am wrong. Have taken soup cooked with beetroot and, try as I may, have to admit I have yet to acquire a taste to it. Always reminded me of blood by the looks of it.

Thanks for the offer to cook borsch for us. Actually I was just pulling your leg. I am away from Singapore for long periods so will not have the opportunity to taste your excellent cooking even if I wanted to. :o

cheers

Too bad Shashilk is now only limited to the Far East place. Looks like I need to be really hardup of tasty borsh before I patronise them again but then from the looks of the current situation, they are on a suicide path.

Now that you mentioned those various old places, it surely kicks up a lot of memories of younger days. You mentioned Mont D'or. In those days did you by chance notice LKY's wife dropping into the place to pick up some pastries for her kids. She did that quite often, then.

There was a restaurant at the old Cold Storage (before they tore it down to build centrepoint) which was very popular. It was situated above the supermarket. Served pretty good food. Opposite CS was the uncovered car park which turns into an open air hawker centre in the evenings.

The coffee house at LadyHill's was set in a very peaceful surrounding and I thoroughly enjoyed the ambience there.

At Polar Cafe in High St, my target is always for their egg tarts. Their franchised version today is just not the same.

Hahaha! Just like you, just reminiscing about the old makan place haunts you mentioned is also making me hungry. :p

how long ago was that? I do remember Mont D'or though.

Unless you have taken cooking class, I recall that you can't even fry an egg without messing up the whole kitchen !!

I don't think you would know this since i've never cooked for you before.

Hey Bro, I kinda like this side topic, so I am going to start another thread on old makan joints going down the gastronomic nostalgic road

Btw where do you reside when you are not in S'pore?

This was in the 60's. Pinke was probably still playing with his dolls. The sister was a Tomboy.

Believe me. Being away for long periods from Singapore makes me yearn for all the local food in Singapore. Even the average tastes like heaven when I get back.

Always admired people who can cook. You have everything within your means to experiment and I am sure you can cook up a storm. You know the old saying "the way to a man's heart is through his stomach"? :p

All you need is to be kind to yourself and the rest just falls into place.

Saw your new thread. Good idea.

I am all over the place, always on a constant move, but most frequently in China, Australia and US. Very tiring for an old man. :o

I think that saying is outdated sorry to say. It only applies long ago. Don't know any guy here who will like a girl just because she can cook.

I think the way to a man's heart is below his belt. Plus most men don't really have a heart anymore.

If men will not go for the cooking, then if you cook well you can start up a food business, do well and with plenty of money, you will be attracting them like bees to honey.

Don't resign yourself to the idea that men do not have a heart. :( There are still plenty of them around with a kind heart. You will meet them in due course. Yes, below the belt is a natural animal instinct, but men cannot live by that activity alone, right?

Now why would I want men like that?
