It was my day off and I was feeling hardworking over lunchtime so I decided to make my own food. I don’t cook often because the kitchen is my mum’s domain and I always get shooed out for ‘making a mess’ (and then she complains that I don’t know how to cook).

Marinated spicy lamb chops from Carrefour. Can’t really go wrong with that, right?

Made fried oyster mushrooms as a side dish. Dipped the shrooms in beaten egg before fluffing them over with fried chicken powder.

I don’t have a deep fryer, so the frying pan was the best that I could do. I went by estimates so I took them out when they looked cooked lol (they were). They turned out surprisingly well!

For the chops, I first thought of grilling them but then decided it would take forever so I poured some water in and covered them for 10-15 minutes. I was again surprised when I plated it because it wasn’t overcooked or undercooked – the powers of winging it. lol

Didn’t have much of the sauce because it was oily. But the meat and mushrooms turned out decent! Sure, it wasn’t restaurant quality but I’d give myself a pat on the back and a B+.
