Weird Dinner 190612

i'm just so lazy to write nowdays =P
the moon is blue tonite~~~

i invented new dishes today!

Stir-Fried Tomyam Chicken
tomyam not necessarily need to come in soupy, eh?

Green Apple Bittergourd Soup

normally i see ppl make bittergourd soup with pineapple~
so happened i have a big green apple
in the fridge tat none of us wanna eat
so i mar put into the soup lor~
i personally like the fruity taste very much
but snakie says it's yucky
coz fruit is not suppose to be cooked wor...
=,="

ingredients from my own little sampah 'plantation' =P
i'm lovin it~♥

this carrot is so cute!
but still need to be eaten =P

fun with Durian

i never really like this king of all fruits

but in our family perception

it's a way of showing loves

i like to see everyone sitting on the floor
enjoying the 'seeds of love'

.

my aunt gave me 2 big containers
when we dropped by their house last weekend
these were D24 brought back from Raub
the smell blasted every where
in the car~ the whole fridge~ the house~

even though i wrapped it tightly in the freezer
><"sollie ah.... house mates!

.
been knowing about Durian Rice since primary school time
but it's never in our family culture
n i will never go near it on my own
finally~ finally~
i got chance to play with Durian liao~
finally i can sink my taste buds into this indulgence

this is something really unique!!!

the evolution of Durian Rice -> Durian Sushi
so tat it can be eaten delicately without a mess in the plate
but the process of making is really a big mess =P

i love 'treasure hunting' in my hometown wet market
n this is wat i found from my last trip there
big white eggs!

oh~ i just love white eggs!

Curry Fried Rice

had some left over Black Bean Brown Rice
n uses watever ingredients i could find in the fridge
this Curry Fried Rice is born!

超级重口味~我喜欢！！！！

*saute chopped ginger, garlic, shallot n curry leaves till fragrant

*add in chopped long bean n saussage or luncheon meat

*pour in rice
*season with sugar, soy sauce, pepper n curry powder

*let it cook for little longer but not until 'chau dah'

*serve with sambal n generous amount of white sesame

Black Bean Brown Rice

interesting combination

but tasted no big deal

maybe because i steamed the bean in advance ba
next round will try to cook it together with the rice

Steamed Butter Cake

i've been curious on this recipe for very very long liao
can i steam a butter cake
instead of baking one?

so i did it today!

Bacon Tomato Rice Stuffed Capsicum

last weekend...
snakie's mom gave me some capsicums to 'play' with
other than Sweet n Sour dish or salad~
wat can i do with it leh?
.
this recipe suddenly came in mind:

 fried some rice with bacon, garlic, shallot, carrot, egg
season with soy sauce, pepper n tomato sauce

stuff them into the capsicum
sprinkle some cheese on top
bake until capsicum soften a lil'

cheese melted n golden brown

yumph!!!
i've eaten it like a onigiri (饭团) with my bare hand
^^

wow... it's soOooOoOo white!

 *duuuuuuuh~

i sliced them - soak in salted water - steam for ard 15 min
garnish with soy sauce + sugar + sesame oil + water
raw chopped garlic + fried chopped ginger

(all the above ingredients will be dancing on ur tongue~ trust me!)

when i showed snakie the white brinjal from my bag
he said i cheat him with a white carrot

=="

Carrot Ramen

Curry Laksa

simply hantam this lonely meal since i hav a lot of vegie

2/3 bowl full of vegie~ yumph!!!
long bean + cabbage + potato + curry leaves + mint leaves
it would be perfect if there are brinjal + ladies finger + tofu puff!!!

i replaced santan with UHT milk
less sinful~

Arabic Bread Sandwich

we went crazy in Kota Damansara Giant Hypermarket

with it's original juice n little honey~♥

Orange Pasta

yicks~ it's ORANGE pasta!

snakie shook his head but i think it's cool~~~~~ :P

got this idea when i look at the orange olive oil
so i had orange olive oil, orange zest, orange juice, orange flesh
all mix up with some cooked pasta
interesting combination ^^
.
i still have lemon olive oil n lime olive oil~~~
wat to play leh????
hiak hiak hiak hiak...

Fusion

this is a not 3 not 4 (不三不四)meal
because it was neither east nor west
the story goes like this...
i had a piece of chicken chop in the fridge
n hav no idea how to cook it
at first i was planning to roast it with cheese
therefore i've decided to make a western meal tonite
however...
due to some unspoken reason~
my roasted chicken tak jadi liao... TnT
haihz... next time ba~
.
a set of olive oil tat travelled from the States

i opened ceremony on one of them
to make my Roasted Potato Wedges

 

this is Sengkuang Soup
never know tat sengkuang can boil soup =="

got it from snakie's mom last weekend
n she asked to boil soup together with lotus root
i couldn't find lotus root during my last grocery shopping
so i boil it with some peanut instead
well... the soup turn out quite nice though =)

this meal was so ...fusion
the best proper word tat i could think of~!

Thousand Layers Tofu With Miso Sauce

after seeing wendy's post of the same title
i can't wait to make this dish on my own too~

no doubt it's quite a challenging dish
especially the patience to fully freeze n defrost it

这道千层豆腐我用了板豆腐
放进冷冻格最少一个晚上
（因为心急，几个小时后拿来切
结果中间的部份没有冷冻到
还滑滑的）
然后又得花上差不多一天的时间来解冻
把水份稍为用手掌压出来
切片后再次用手掌把水份压出来
越多越好

Play!

bump into this pic one day
n it caused my hands very very itchy

picked up a packet of vermicelli pasta from jj last week
n i played ^^

they were stiff when they first got into the pot

after a while... all these alien bugs appeared

great idea for Halloween huh =P

a not-so-boring-way to enjoy your pasta =)

doing silly thing like this once in a while is fun!

Comfy Lunch Platter

been making a lot of mix-vegie dish these few weeks
because our moms kept sponsoring a lot of vegie to our fridge
the ingredients were like never ending

bored with the repeating stir-fried style
so i experimented with this kung-po style
by adding some dried chili in~
the result was superbly full of uumph!

Kembung Asam Tak Pedas

was wandering in the super market's fish section for very long
because i saw a lot of very fresh fishes!

Snakie once mentioned he like Kembung fish
i was very undecided because no one there
to help clean the fish ~>,<~
okay lar... for Dec sake~

for he had a bad week sake~
brought the fishes home
.
1st time cleaning up fish in my whole life again
shivering hands... was holding my breath all the time...
closed my eyes while taking out all the bloody organs
kept mumbling sorry n RIP to the fishies... >,<"

poor fishies...

i've been asking around on how to cook them too
seems like everyone dun usually cook fish at home
haaaaa...!
special thanks for Kittymiao for the inspiration
.
went online to check on recipe too
but sadly~ my kitchen lacking of a lot of ingredients
so i simply hantam my way again

i used:
shallot, garlic, ginger, lemongrass, lime leaves, chili,
tamarind (assam) paste, brown sugar, soy sauce

fry all the dried ingredients till fragrant

pour in the tamarind juice n a bit of water
then slowly put in the fishes
cook for 5 minutes on each side
season with brown sugar n soy sauce

not enough time n not in the mood of decorating it
look ordinary but taste superb
snakie finished his big big plate of rice ^^

i wish i could have fresh fish sauce n some lime
it would be perfect ^^
.
for those whom wish to hav extra uuumph
u may add some chili padi in too~
