Did I hear your tummy rumble?

You probably know that we love to have family & friends over, most of the time meals are included if they decided to come over. For the first time over the decade (since the day we have a house to call our own), a friend decided to cook something for us instead.

I was extremely excited about this coz for once we do not have to "slog" in the kitchen and get to relax with the other guests, but it was a mixed feeling for me to have some one else cooking in the kitchen. I have to look the other way when I saw the mess and unwashed plates & utensils in the kitchen sink, it was after all MY kitchen.

This is the Mystery Chef, or part of him. He specifically said "Don't put my face in your blog please!", so this is what I can do to credit him for the hard work he has done in that 1 hour.

I sneaked into the kitchen a few times to snapped photo while he work.

Stir-frying the clams with garlic and English pasley (I think)

Simmering the pasta in some stock

Added in the clams to simmer for a while longer

Now did I finally make your tummy rumble?

It looks like a simple spaghetti with clams but the taste is oh-so-sweet~ the spaghetti is coated with the sauce that is full of sweetness from the clams.

Mystery Chef is very considerate, he cooked a big portion without the chilli for DinoBoy who had 2 servings and wanted more later that evening but too bad it was all gone.

His funny pose for me

I gotta get my hands on the recipe and see if I can cook this to taste the same as Mystery Chef's.
