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 ...

Angels - Mission Possible...!?

Last week was a week full of excitement for me. One, because I was busy with my work, so the week went by faster than usual…. (meaning: less time spent on ‘termenung’ & missing my husband); Two, my hubby dearest was scheduled to arrive on Friday night (3rd March 2006), the more reason for me be thrilled and eager counting the days; Three, me and the rest of March Angels ( Leilanie & T. Ina ) planned to meet up on Friday (3rd March 2006, also) to celebrate our birthdays and Leilanie had this fantastic idea of challenging ourselves to find gifts for the birthday mommies (and the gifts must cost less than 10 bucks each!) – and Leilanie, I must tell you that this challenge really made me sweat all afternoon on Thursday….. hehehe …and Four, me & my husband (and also the children) planned for a weekend getaway to Cyberview Lodge Resort & Spa on 4th & 5th March 2006. There I said it…..nothing much to say about point One & Two…. but point Three and Four…..definitely!!!...
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...
