Fried bacon makes the Quiche much more delicious (remember to discard excessive fat, if possible).

In a medium heat pan, add some oil to stir fry onions, shallots and garlics till fragrant.
Add luncheon meat into (2) and cook for about 2-3 minutes.

As a greedy eater, enjoying nice & delicious food gives me satisfaction & makes me feel good. When I was young, cooking is always my mum's job & I'd never taught of starving at home. I only started to learn cooking once I've get married. For a cooking novice like me, cooking can be a disaster as each ingredient requires certain cooking time, different cuts, balanced seasoning, etc...
To me, baking is much simple than cooking as precise measurement is provided in the recipes. Follow it exactly guarantees satisfied outcome. If you are also novice, baking can be your choice.
I would like to share some recipes that I've learned (from books, magazines, TV programs, websites & others) with you. Have a try & good luck!
