Food Processing – Part 2

And the machine I decided on was the Thermomix TM5. Not quite the best machine of the three I was considering whether by function or price, but it was the one which would be least painful to fix if anything goes wrong. I dashed out during lunch hour on that very weekday to view the item at the Thermomix showroom, ask questions, quickly decided to pick it up, had it packed, dashed home to drop it off, then rushed back to the office. The wife was of course both very surprised and pleased to see the appliance when she came home from work herself – so much so that a quick kitchen makeover was necessary:

For months all sorts of things got piled on our dry kitchen countertop. This is how it looks now. #PowerOfNewKitchenToysOnMommies

Ling has of course been trying all manner of recipes with her new toy.

Ham and cheese buns for breakfast!
Soupy Spinach Stir-Fry.
Char Siew (Cantonese barbequed pork).

As to whether the Thermomix has made her life easier, the jury’s still out. That’s largely on account though that there’s a learning curve involved, despite that many recipes in the supplied cookbook look real easy to do.
