A hard time deciding

Dar wants me to make him homecook food.
That's when I start to pull out all my hair, again!
Aaron, Tommy & Jocelyn tried to help with the brain storming.
I do really appreciate their efforts.
The thing is,
all the tasty dishes that they have suggested,
are toooooooooooo difficult for me...!
Arghhhh
I took a few days to finalise what to prepare.
In the end,
I got extremely fedup.
I just went to the super market to pick up whatever I think I can manage.

Honestly?
It turned out to be disastrous!
Please follow a recipe next time!!!
LOL...
I pan fried the black pepper chicken before I grill it for another 15min.
It was soso....
Probably the best dish for the night.
Bad huh?
1st time preparing steamed cod fish.
We wasn't too sure it was cooked after tasting a few times.

I have never tried cooking this vegetables before.
I like it cos it always tasted crunchy & refreshing.
It turned out too be a bit, err...
Too greasy...
Ops!

Dar wanted soup to go with his rice.
I don't have the luxury of a few hours to make a good soup.
Seafood tom yum is one of the easiest soup to accomplish within an hour.
I had wanted to make sambal prawns & tomato egg,
but I thought it was already more than enough dishes for two.
So, I'm keeping the 2 dishes for the next round.
Who can teach me how to make simple & yet delicious dishes?

seriously, am quite impressed with your attempt to cook up so many dishes, they do look delicious from your photos *envy envy* your bf is so lucky :-) and you are my inspiration. I've yet to cook a decent meal for my bf yet, and hoped to do it soon.
