Prawn & Chicken Wanton Soup

Last weekend, I was on my ‘Lazy Mode’.

So I made my ‘lazy dish’…. this required less effort and energy. All you need to do is campak campak the ingredients into the pot and ‘voillaa!!’, it’s all ready!

So let’s see what I put inside the pot…..

GIGANTIC Prawn-Chicken Wanton Soup

For wanton:

Minced chicken abt 200-300 gm

Big fat prawn (9-10) – since I AM a PRAWN lover, I put loads of this. You can cut it into small pieces, if you like. Otherwise your wanton skin will go koyak.

Salt n Pepper (I put loads of pepper)

Chives (cut into small pieces)

Carrot (diced)

2-3 tsp sesame oil

1 tsp corn flour

Wanton skin, to wrap the paste

Put everything together in a bowl (except the skin) and mix well.


Dump everything in and mix 'em all

Take a small spoonful of paste and wrap with wanton skin. Brush a bit of water at the joining part to make the skin stick together. Put aside.

All wrapped up, ready to be dunked in the soup

For soup:

Garlic (2-3) crushed

Abt 1-2 tbsp anchovies (blend) - alternatively, you can use 1 ikan bilis cube

Oil (1-2 tbsp)

Salt, to taste

Water (4-5 cups)

Heat oil in a pot. Add the crushed garlic and fry for a few minutes till garlic turns brown.

Add blended anchovies and fry till all golden brown. Add water and let it boil (add more water if you like).

Let the soup boil (this will take about 10 mins).

While the soup is boiling, drop the prepared wantons into the pot, one at a time. Continue till finish. Let it boil for another 5-10 mins so that the wanton is completely cooked.

Add in chives (optional). Serve while hot.

Enjoy the soup, peeps!

I am busy, I'm confused!

I have been very quiet this week.. no updates, no hopping around leaving any trail of my existence, probably due to the following reasons: 1. Nasreen will be having her exam next week, so I’m busy reviewing her syllabus (and also nagging to make sure she prepares herself). Yes, instead of her reviewing her books, the responsibility – by default – is shifted to me…. Hmm, mothers nowadays. We feel the pressure more than our kids (and we panic even more while waiting for the results to come out). Hehehe. I can’t remember my mother even touched my textbooks when I was in Primary 3. No wonder we grow old faster these days…. 2. I’m having mood swings this week. One day, I feel elated, then mellow on the next day, moody on the following day. Work is adding on my desk, scope is being expanded, news is floating around and remarks are beings smacked everywhere (manage to steer clear of some and the rest sometimes just landed right on my very lap). Don’t you hate it when you are so positive that ...
Yes, I’ve been blessed with a lot of wonderful people around me….. yes friends, you! Read on…. Yesterday, around 6.15pm, I was in the middle of reviewing something when I was called for a meeting with one of big bosses here…. And I was thinking in anger, ‘Great! It’s 6.30pm and they want to have a meeting. Don’t they have families to run back home to????” So I got up from my chair and ran down to one of the meeting rooms in Level 5. I peeped through the small glass and the room was dark and empty. They were not even they yet! Heck! But when I pushed open the door, suddenly I heard people screaming and laughing and shouting, “Happy Birthday To You!!!!” and everyone was holding a candle in their hand. Gosh! My colleagues planned a Birthday Party for me. No wonder the department was empty when I left and I didn’t even notice. I was speechless! I was asked to blow the candles that they were holding and those on the cake (oh! The cake was so yummylicious!) I was so touched. Everybody was th...

It was Nik's Birthday

It was my husband’s birthday yesterday and we took the day off to ‘merewang’ while feeling young, kononnya. The theme of the celebration? Reminiscing the days when we were courting back in 1993 minus the snow.... ancient sungguh rasanya! We had our breakfast at O’Brien’s early in the morning and took a slow stroll along the shops in OU and enjoyed every minute of it (at 10am in the morning, mind you, and the shops were barely opened). Later we watched ‘Lake House’ and we were charged RM12 only for 2 tickets (the early bird tickets were so damn cheap, I almost fainted!). There were only a few couples inside and we took the opportunity to sit right at the middle (ikut suka hati), since the theater was quite empty. How was the movie? Hmm… ok la, I would say it was the right movie for the occasion… hehe. A bit slow though, biasa la, romantic piece. The ending part was quite ‘touchy’ and yes, Mr Reeves was so stunningly handsome (oh yes, nampak tua sikit la and still got the looks). ...
