Comfort Home Cooked

Its been a while since I cooked for A and myself so we went over to a local food produce shop to get some beef patties.  You know what that means right?  Burger time!

In truth I'd usually make patties from scratch for a healthier version but we were quite eager to try a specialty store-bought variant.  The patties were quite thick, measuring almost 1.5cm.  Took it home and marinated it with black pepper, which A is crazy about (anyone know if there are any side effects to consuming too much of this spice?)

Sauteed in virgin coconut oil

Searing 7-minutes for each side without pressing down on the patty to retain its juices.  Simultaneously sauteing baby tomatoes, frying chips and boiled baby carrots for A's sides, while mine was a combo of  long beans and caramelized onions.  A dropped by a newly opened deli, Irrawady Fine Foods and got a tzatziki sauce and some emmental cheese as toppings.

A's burger with black pepper sprinkled everywhere
   Its hard to find burger buns, let alone quality ones here in Penang.  Many supermarkets carry dinner rolls or the mass produced Gardenia brand and I was just happy to have found them after the fourth try.  As you can see, my dearest A refuses to eat without utensils be it burgers, pizzas, even french fries.  If there's no utensils? Try tissues!

Yours truly, with addition of honey baked ham

I enjoy home-cooked meals.  Usually it tastes better with the extra heart and effort put in, hopefully it was in A's opinion!  Oh well, the effort was definitely there :)
