Still crazy about Happycall Pan and so planned the dishes since mid-week. As I was also going to visit a friend, LL, with another friend, TS, hence made dessert to bring along. LL has very weak stomach and so I had to be very careful with the dessert selection. Finally recalled the poached pear recipe that I used to make for my parents. However, ST requested not to add Korean ginseng powder and so I substituted it with Osmanthus flowers instead.
From this...

Done with dessert and I went on to do the buttermilk cereal chicken, a recipe I found in Cuisine Paradise and also found in Munch Ministry. As I didn't want to buy a whole pack of buttermilk, I decided to make my own. Didn't want to get a big pack of plain flour, I ran out of cornflour and so had to use self-rising flour instead. The result? Oh well... The winglets weren't as nice as those featured in the Cuisine Paradise website coz the skins dropped off from a couple of the winglets.
