I’ve made a batch of muffins this Sunday mainly for my breakfast of the week. I always love the banana nut muffins but since I didn’t have bananas on hand, I had to use whatever I could find in the house.

We always like to go to the Hong Kong Style Western Restaurant for lunch/ dinner or even supper, not really because of the western food, but the real Hong Kong style food. However one HK style western dish I always like is the Two steaks combo (鴛鴦排) choices of Chicken, Pork or Fish with selection of House sauce, Black pepper or mushroom. Black pepper would be my favorite, you can’t go wrong with the black pepper sauce. But sometimes their chicken or pork chop is really fatty. So I’m thinking of making my own.
