Okonomiyaki 御好燒

wikipedia:
Okonomiyaki (お好み焼き)
御好燒又稱為什錦燒
is a Japanese savoury pancake
containing a variety of ingredients
The name is derived from the word okonomi
meaning "what you like" or "what you want"
and yaki meaning "grilled" or "cooked"
.
The batter is made of flour, grated yam,
water or dashi, eggs and shredded cabbage,
and usually contains other ingredients such as
green onion, meat (generally pork or bacon),
octopus, shrimp, vegetables, mochi or cheese

the Comforting 猪肠粉

已经好久没吃猪肠粉了
很小的时候 偶尔会和祖父母一起住
他们每天早上都会从Sea Park的巴刹
买这样的猪肠粉给我
那圆股股的肠粉和浓浓酱汁
温暖了我儿时的时光
自从祖母离开后就没有再吃到了
.
偶尔在超市看到冷冻的猪肠粉
就会买回家自己调制一番
暖暖那落空的心灵
.
这是甜酱和虾膏口味的

这是我乱掰的芝麻酱口味
这浆料在马来西亚应该还不普遍吧
酱料：
还差一样 - 虾米香！如果齐全的话就很完美了！
炸葱油是需要付出代价的…… 呜呜呜~
有话想对某某说：
你有你爱的权利~
我也有我爱的自由~
但请你不要把你的爱建立在我的痛苦上……
我真的真的很累了 :(

Roti Jala

saw this Roti Jala recipe on the magazine
and hand itchy for very long liao...
finally saw the Cup in JJ last Monday
and it was only RM1.50 - 5%
grapped it without second thought!
.
bearly simple recipe:
1 cup Coconut Milk, half cup Water,
1/4 tsp Tumeric Powder, 1/4 tsp Salt,
1 egg, 1 cup Wheat Flour,
cooking oil to grease pan
*sieve is very important here to prevent clogs

* in a bowl~ lightly whisk coconut milk,
egg, water, salt, tumeric powder
* sift flour into a mixing bowl
and gradually add the wet ingredients
*stir till batter get smooth
*strain batter through a fine sieve
*brush a thin layer of oil over a non-stick frying pan
*over medium heat, pour a ladleful of batter
into the roti jala cup and in a circular motion,
form a thin lacy pattern in the pan
*cook until set and slightly brown on some edges
*fold into quarters
.
the cup really gave me a lot of problems
until i nearly give up liao...
i also tried using plastic bag n cut a small edge
...after a plateful of FAILURE

i had my last try on a mineral water bottle
poke a hole on the cap
and squeeze batter on the pan
hmmm.... it works!!!
need some skills also~
the line cannot be too thick...
cannot overlap too much... cannot be too thin...
cannot have dots... blah blah...

Victory!!!

but i spent 1.5 hours dealing with it
until pass the breakfast slot liao T_T
Snakie still insisted to taste it
so i make the second batch for dinner
no failure at all~~~~~~!!!! weeeee~~~
Snakie enjoyed it~ yay! can meka again next time!

bot this from D'Sayang~
i told the guy: saya nak beli dhall (while pointing at it)
he said: ini bukan dhall...
me: huh? then apa ini?
he: ini SAMBAL!
me: .....=_="""" takpa lah, saya nak beli ni

since on the way back n while eating it
my mind still very confused~~~
i even googled Dhall & Sambal!!!!
