A journey through my last year as a twenty-something

Wanchai Ferry Giveaway


I'm not a gourmet cook. I leave that up to my husband who can cook circles around me. I don't have the patience for cooking. I never think about making dinner ahead of time or having it ready by a certain time each night. Nine times out of ten I don't even think about dinner until my stomach is growling. By then the last thing I want is to spend hours slaving over the stove top trying to come up with something edible.


I'm working on becoming a better cook. (adding this to my goals list) I've got enough recipes in my collection to never have the same thing twice, but until I get around to actually trying them I will have to depend on my husband for the most part, Of course, he doesn't want to cook dinner every night either. When it's my turn to cook I usually turn to one of the few dishes I have perfected or one of those wonderful meals in a box that you can find in any grocery store. You know the ones I am talking about, right? All you need is water and a skillet, even I can do that. After a while that can get old though. I can only eat Asian Style Fried Rice or Pizza Pasta Bake so many times before I want something different.


Recently I was given the opportunity to try out a new line of frozen dinners and I have to admit that I was impressed by the quality of the product. Wanchai Ferry offers a frozen meal that can go from your freezer to the table in under 15 minutes. Now that's my kind of meal. Wanchai Ferry meals are the perfect sized meals for two which are perfect for my husband and I. They are a little pricier than some of the other prepackaged meals you might find in the store but the quality is excellent. I was given the opportunity to try the Orange Chicken variety and found it not only to be very easy to make but it was extremely flavorful. Couple it with a salad and you will have a great meal for two to enjoy. I have also tried another of the five varieties, the Sweet and Sour Chicken. It too was very flavorful and had the perfect combination of tangyness and sweetness that I love. All and all I was very satisfied with the product.


Spicy Garlic Chicken

Wanchai Ferry meals can be found in your grocer's freezer and cost between $6 and $8 depending on where you shop. FYI you will need a microwave to cook the rice but if you don't have one (mine is still in a box somewhere b/c we recently moved) you can toss the rice into a small pan of water and cook it for a couple of minutes.
