Happy Call Double Sided Pan Coca Cola Chicken Wings
I am into the Happy Call Double Sided Pan craze too! I have bought my Happy Call Double Sided Pan from G market a couple of weeks back and has been looking for a simple recipe to use the pan. As I don't cook so it will be challenging for me to try any recipe that involes a lot of processes or cutting.
I chanced upon Noob Cook Coca Cola Chicken Wings recipe and I thought it was rather simple and easy. So over the weekend, the Happy Call Double Sided Pan lost its virginity to a novice cook.
I had 12 mid joint chicken wings marinaded for 30 minutes in light soy sauce, dark soy sauce and sesame oil . Noob Cook recipe mentioned to marinade for 15 minutes but I double it hoping that the meat will be more flavourful.
Next I brown the chicken wings on both sides beside pouring the coca cola, water and left over marinade sauce into the pan and let it simmer until it is reduced to a dark sticky syrup. I suspect I used too much of the liquid mixture and it told more than 15-20 minutes (mentioned in Noob Cook recipe) for it to be reduced to a dark sticky syrup
After about 30 minutes... this is my final product! Coca Cola Chicken Wings. It looks yummy isn't it?
Recipe (inspired by Noob Cook)

- 12 mid joint chicken wings
- 1 tbsp cooking oil
- 200ml Coca Cola (no diet or flavoured coke)

Glamabox
I am not someone who is good at surprises and when I came across Keropokman's blog on Glamabox I thought that is a brillant idea to give my partner a surprise.
Lisa S, celebrity fashion model is the co-founder of Glamabox. Most of you may know her for being the wife of Hong Kong actor Daniel Wu. Glamabox also has their own youtube video page. Check out the welcome note from Lisa S.
How does it work? Each month for a mere $18, a selection of 4-5 products that ranges from skincare to makeup to cult beauty tools from well known brands as well as emerging gems are selected by Glamabox that they have tried (and retried).
I think I am more excited than my partner when she told me she received the parcel from Glamabox.
I asked her to bring it out and show me the packaging and what is the surprises inside it.
The packaging is really nice ... and let's reveal what is inside the parcel...
For the month of March 2012, the following surprises are in the parcel.
1) Crabtree & Evelyn gardeners 60 second hand recovery cream
2) Lierac Paris travel set
3) Organix Moroccan argan oil shampoo
4) Clinque color palette colour surge eye shadow duo
I am looking forward or rather my partner what will be inside the parcel next month?
