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!

A Walk to Remember!?

Finally, I’m writing…. The trip to Singapore was fun…. And also, full of crazy moments.. heheh… Clockwise : The Q @ immigration, street performers @ Orchard, moi infront of Far East Plaza, Nik chilling out @ Starbucks Suntec CT & my precious new sandal... I like!! We left KL after Subuh & managed to reach Johor around 10am. The trip was a short one so we decided to leave the kids behind. It was a smooth ride on a cool & very breezy morning with just enough sun all the way (yes, made me sleepy also!). I took some cool pictures along the way and later discovered that I accidently deleted all of the scenery pics from my camera.... *sigh* Sometimes I can be more than the word 'clumsy' could describe... Anyway, we wanted to enter Singapore via TUAS, then I remembered that we didn’t even have a single cent of S$, so we drove down to JB town and looked for money changer. Then I thought…. no harm of taking the Causeway since it was a Sunday and I was so damn sure that traf...

To Be or Not To Be

Deadlines were over…. Yesterday was my last day here…. And today marks a whole new beginning of my career life here….. I could be wrong or I could be right for making this decision… but I’ve made up my mind to take up the challenges, nonetheless. I know I’m subjecting myself to a lot of hardwork as well as criticism, scrutiny and observation from the rest……. and time definitely has to be compromised. But being a risk taker…. I am, I know I just have to pull myself together and face the obstacles - one at a time. It’s too late to undo things anyway and the best thing to do is to be positive. Both legs are in and it’s time to march towards the horizon with pride and dignity. Only time can answer the doubts that I have in me now… meanwhile, I need all the luck that I can have.

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). ...
