Italian Night

We are truly blessed tonight with authentic parmesan cheese specially brought in by a brother in Christ from USA. The cheese not only enhances the flavour of the pasta but it brought a group of food lover together. I can only credit this to God for His kindness and generosity. It is God who brought all of us together to enjoy in such a simple meal. It is God who gave me this gift of cooking through His grace. It is God who sustains and supplies for everything needful in the kitchen to His glory. It is God who will have all the glory and honor. At the end of the night, I only want to praise His name. May Kitchen Fellowship continue to be a blessing to many souls in need of a warm meal and a good fellowship. "Feed my tummy, feed my soul."

The star of the night: Miss Nachos...

I can't keep my eyes away from you..Miss Nachos..

Steamboat - Szechuan Style

Last Saturday we had Szechuan steamboat for Kitchen Fellowship. Well, from the name itself, you can expect HOT, SPICY & NUMB!! That's right. Everyone was having a great time although some of them complained that it was too hot for their tongue. The broth was prepared by brothers from China so you can expect it to be authentic Chinese food. Not only that, we had the opportunity to dip our food with China special sauce - the sesame seed sauce. However, the best thing of the night was the word of God shared by Jeff. It is taken from Psalm 119:97-104.

Szechuan Steamboat..Sizzling HOT!!!

Psalm 119:97-104

Oh, how I love your law!

I meditate on it all day long.

Your commands make me wiser than my enemies,

for they are ever with me.

I have more insight than all my teachers,

for I meditate on your statutes.

I have more understanding than the elders,

for I obey your precepts.

I have kept my feet from every evil path,

so that I might obey your word.

I have not departed from your laws,

for you yourself have taught me.

How sweet are your words to my taste,

sweeter than honey to my mouth!

I gain understanding from your precepts;

therefore I hate every wrong path.

Japanese Night

Last night I had a surgery. A gruesome 6 hours long of surgery on my sushi. Japanese food is not "play play". It requires a lot of patience and skills. It is an art of cooking. However, after all the hard work, the result was satisfying. We are also blessed by Acts 2:42 - "They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer." This verse which I read truly reminds me of what a church should be. Churches started in small groups where they would gather together to listen to the apostle as they taught under the inspiration of God. Everyone was selling off what they had and they shared the profit together so that no one was left without food and basic necessities.

As I am reminded of Kitchen Fellowship, I'm touched by God's kindness and generosity in providing and blessing Kitchen Fellowship. We always had enough to share God's love with others through food. Well, help me by praying for this ministry that it will keep on blessing souls and exalting the name of God.

Kitchen Fellowship 1st Anniversary

Today is 31 March 2009 marking the first anniversary of Kitchen Fellowship. As I prayed silently in my room just now, I just can't stop giving praise to God.

I do not know if what I'm doing be good to Him, I do not know if it's bearing fruits, I do not know what others feel when they have that simple hot meal but I do pray that they will be touched by the love shown, that they will experience the love of Christ.

I just hope and pray that God will continue to bless this ministry, to use it and minister to the people in need. May God lead those whom he has chosen to enjoy in such simple yet heart-filling meal in Kitchen Fellowship.

I also would like to thank those who prayed and supported Kitchen Fellowship. Thank you for your efforts and your love for the people too.

I pray that by God's will, Kitchen Fellowship will be able to expand and to bless more souls. I just hope to be able to learn more recipes and to grow in my love for God, to grow deeper in love with Him. Praise the Lord for He provides everything needful for His glory.

I shall end with this simple verse.
Psalm 31:3 - For you are my rock and my fotress and for your name's sake, you shall lead me and guide me.

Amen.
Matthew Wong.

The Iranian Night

I only have one word to describe the Iranian night. Sour. The food are basically sour in taste with all the herbs brought from Iran. But the food that caught my attention was the rice. Well, for your information, the rice that they use are the same as ours but it is cooked in a way that it is fragrant and smooth. They have also invented a lot of ways to cook their rice. one was with meat and it was green in color and the other was with a special herb which was also sourish. I would love to know their recipe. To conclude it, we had a great night, the food was tummy-opening and eye opening, although the yoghurt was really sour. I LOVE THE RICE...

One of the Iranian food: love love..haha..

Thai night (Thai Devil's egg recipe)

We had Thai night last Saturday along with Bible Study. It was a good time eating together on Valentine's Day. Also a day for lonely bachelors to seek comfort. Haha. Hmmm, what did we had? I cooked tom yam kung, green curry chicken, green apple salad, black peppercorn chicken and the Thai version of devil's egg. It is truly delicious but what's more memorable was the sharing did on that night. Blane led us to look at John 3:16 - For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son that whosoever believes in Him shall never perish but have eternal life. Truly the love of God is so wide that He can accept anyone who needed His love. We are all sinners condemned to hell but we always thought that we could save ourselves based on our merits and good works. How wicked is man to think that one can be saved without the grace of God. Because of His great love, we have hope, a hope that restores our relationship with God. Therefore, I pray that you would accept this wonderful love and live out your faith in obedience to God. Praise the Lord.

Here's the recipe.
4 eggs.
2 tbsp of coriander leaves.
1/2 cup of prawns/shrimps. (Cook it in boiling water for 3 to 4 minutes)
1/2 cup of crab meat. (Cook it in boiling water for 3 to 4 minutes)
2 tbsp coconut milk.
Salt.
Pepper.

First, boil the eggs. Stir the eggs in a clockwise motion for the first 3 minutes to make sure that the yolk remains in the center. Then let it simmer for 12 minutes. After that, immediately cool it down with cold water and peel the shells off. Cut it into half and use a fork to dig out the egg yolk.

Mash the egg yolks and add in the remaining ingredients. Mix it evenly and then fill back the mixture into the eggs again.

And there you have it, Thai version of the Devil's eggs.

Thai Night

We are preparing to launch a Thai night this Saturday and it has been really exciting getting into the action-packed kitchen war..haha..
I came across this verse in Psalm 37:26, "He is ever lending generously, and his children become a blessing."
This is truly beautiful as we reflect upon the graciousness of our Lord in providing for us and not only that, to make us a blessing for others. Throughout the Kitchen Fellowship ministry, I have really been thankful for all his providences and not only that, it was enough to bless the souls that needed it. Pray with me as we give thanks to God for his goodness and praying that He will continue to guide us and call us to be a part of His plan.

Thanks.

Pray

Hey, sorry for not blogging for so long..well, this is because the chef is in school..haha..soon-to-be chef pastor..a new name..kinda cool..
Well, we are taking it slow this year. There have been a few burdens in my heart and just hoping that you would pray with me..
Praying that Kitchen Fellowship would continue to bless the hearts of new friends.
Another burden of mine is to reach out to homeless people and provide food. Praying that by God's will, He would provide everything needful for His glory.
Praying that we would be determined to live right in His presence, not forgetting His first love to us and to give thanks all the time.

Thanks.
