Steam Sea-bass & Chicken Soup

Last night was my m.a.l.a.s night.

So I decided only to cook simple dishes....

Steam Sea-bass
















Garlic & shallots (4 each) - sliced
Ginger (abt 2 inches) - sliced
Lemon grass (1) - pound
Kaffir lime leaf (2-3pcs)
Chili (4-5) - pound (I used bird's eye chili a.k.a. cili padi)
2-3 lime (limau kasturi) - squeeze the juice out
a pinch of sugar and salt, to taste
1 cup of water

Put everything in a deep wok and cover.  Let it simmer slowly and once the water starts to boil, add in the fish (I used 3 small seabass).

Cover the wok again and let the fish cook in the sauce for about 5-8 minutes, depending on the size of your fish.

Serve while hot.  Tastes like steam fish because you don't really use oil, just let everything boils in the wok.  (actually I was really lazy to take out the steamer..... hahahhahah).

Then I cooked another dish....

Simple Chicken Soup















Pound 2-3 garlic & shallots, and fry with 1 tbsp of olive oil.
Add in 2 tsp dry soup powder (I used Adabi) and continue to fry (I didnt mix the powder with water because I was lazy.... again....)
Fry for 1-2 minutes, add in 'soup bunjut', diced carrots, cut potatoes, and chicken.
Add 1 cup of water and let it boil.
Add more cups of water if required.
Add chinese celery & spring onion
Add a pinch of salt, to taste and you can add ground black pepper, if you like it a bit spicy.

There you go, all prepared in less than an hour :)

Enjoy the recipes peeps.

Hilang

hadirnya tak pernah diduga tidak juga diundang terus mancarik dan merobek koyak tak pernah sekali pun  dirawat dibiar bernanah sampai bila? sinar terik  yang bisa mencairkan  malam yang hitam pekat  yang bisa menyesatkan harus tidak mampu  menyuluh jalan pulang mungkinkah  ini telah dijanjikan seperti nukilan yang tiada penghujung seperti irama yang tiada noktah haruskah pasrah?

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). ...

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!!!...
