Pork Chop with Grilled Peach & Scallion Rice

Use 3-4 peaches for four servings, cut them in half and drizzle 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar.
Grill cut side down first.

Marinate 4 pieces of boneless porkchops in for an hour or two:

• 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons of lime juice
• 3 teaspoons of chopped fresh thyme
• salt & pepper

reserve 1 tablespoon of mix - later drizzle arugula with the mix before serving

Porkchops are supposed to be grilled 3 minutes on each side but I put them in the oven and finished in the broiller.

Serve porkchop on arugula with peaches

Taste of Singapore

Chili Crab at Annual Chili Crab Festival turned out to be horrible, so we were headed to Chinatown back in Mahattan.

Singapore Cafe always takes us back to Singapore...
Order Chili Crab, Hainanese Chicken with Chicken Rice, & Kueh Teow

Desserts are very refreshing as well.
Coconut pudding & Singaporean Ice are recommended.
