Cider

Cider fans will be happy to know that you can now buy bottles of apple and pear cider at Santa's Bar in Gungdong for 7,000won a bottle. My favourite is the apple cider, it tastes similar to scrumpy. I thought the pear cider was a little bland, I prefer the sweet, but tart flavour of Scandinavian pear ciders.

Bacalau and Chickpea Salad

Sadly, I can't take the credit for this one! My friend, Giselle is Portugese-South African and whipped up a Portugese fish pie and chickpea salad.

The fish pie is made with cod fillets (from the frozen food section at Costco) and sliced potato. The dressing for the chickpeas was made from lemon vinegar, olive oil and chopped herbs.

Veggie Coconut Curry

I'm trying to make an effort to eat more fruit and vegetables, so whipped up a quick curry when I got home the other night.


Ingredients (vary amounts to suit)
Onions, chopped
Garlic, finely chopped
Courgettes, pumpkin, aubergine (or any veg really!), sliced
Curry powder
Can of coconut milk


Fry the onion and garlic, add the veg and stir fry for a few minutes. Add curry powder and stir fry for another couple of minutes, then add the coconut milk and simmer gently for 15 minutes or so. Serve with rice (and wine, of course!)
