shepard's pie made w/ ground turkey :)
my first attempt at Vietnamese BBQ pork
Anyway, here's what I ate last night. Pretty bad huh? Well, Mum made shepard's pie. I know the picture doesn't do her dish any justice, but boy was it yummy. After that I wanted to try out this Vietnamese grilled pork recipe. I searched all over the web for the recipe (which I did find it easily... there was just too many variations!). Anyway, I finally settled on one. The overall verdict? Meat looks yummy, but didn't taste anything close to the real thing. I guess it was because the meat got a bit burnt and you could really taste the bitterness from the burn... or who knows?! Oh, but when I woke up this morning and smelled my T-shirt that I cooked the food in, it actually smells very similar to the real thing... so I don't know. I guess I cooked the meat too long and messed it all up (or it could be my marinade). Oh, plus next time whenever I do decide to attempt to make this again, I'll have to pound the meat or something to make it tender.
Alright, here's what I've eaten today/plan to eat for the rest of the day:
