moi new maid...

i got this new filipino maid from iloilo, and she arrived 2 days ago. i went to the agency @ bukit timah to fetch her and her 20kg luggage! whoa, she brought such a huge luggage i was amazed.
to welcome her, i let her choose what she would like for dinner - roast chicken rice - and i specially topped up 2 deep fried chicken wings for her cos she likes that too.

the only thing worrying is that she hardly ate the rice, though she loves all the chicken. and the loaf of bread i bought for our b'fast the next morn, she did not eat the 1st piece - guess she didn't like the skin of the bread....so i ate that :) another thing is that she leaves the floor soaking wet after mopping it, so i used a dry cloth to wipe it and asked her to do the next time. but unfortunately, she used a mobile stand fan to dry the house instead. aiyo.

that said, she's actually a very smart lady.....and i really don't know whether it's a good thing or bad. but one thing good is that she's a great cook! she can cook lasagne, carborana pasta, cantonese cuisine, portugese, western, chinese, filipino....and do it very well. and it's bcos she has worked in many countries before.

here's the 1st meal she cooked - for both of us: filipino pork adobo and stirfried cauliflower.

it's pretty good. pork adobo is her fave dish in philippines - stewed pork in dark sauce, oyster sauce, vinegar, sugar, chilli, garlic & onions.

good lah, since she can cook pretty well, i can save money on eating out. hee.
