salty food is for porridge.

Since the minced pork is too salty, i've decided to cook porridge on Sunday. so i went to get some canned makerel with black bean and perserved vege to go with it.. no need took... just heat it up and we're ready to eat! but cooking poridge is quite mah fan cos need to keep on stiring it so that it won't burn. (it's actually my first time cooking porridge! lol!) so i called daddy to get some idea on how to actually cook porridge (paiseh..) cos i scared it came out not like rice, not like porridge.. die. luckily i did well. i'm soo proud of myself... oh... told daddy about my too salty minced pork and he gave me some tips how to make it better! shouldn't have used soy sauce to marinate! oh well... will cook better next time!

makerel with black bean. taste better than the usual fish with black bean cos it's not too dry.

my fav preserved vege stem!!

the leftover pork.

my bowl of porridge! oh.. i forgot to snap a photo of my FAVOURITEst "foo yu" (fermented beancurd?) yummy! i like!!!!

i'm sure he said something funny stupid.

i should cook more nowadays.. save money, healthier food.. (though sometimes it's canned food.. lol).. if i have the time sure i'll cook more...but since Smelly's mom is back today, i guess i'll just let the veteran do the job.. lol!

what's for dinner?

Smelly's parent went to Lake Toba for a holiday last weekend so we're home alone. since both of us were too lazy to drive out to get food, i decided to look in the fridge for something that i can cook. found some minced pork and prawns. so i fried the minced pork, fried prawns with eggs and vege. it's the best that i could get cos the fridge is nearly empty...

fried minced pork. TOO salty that we only ate one piece each.

since the pork is too salty, i didn't put any salt or soy sauce in the egg. taste perfect!
Smelly said eggs are naturally tasty so no matter how you cook it, it's gonna taste good! gah!

stri fry siu bak choy.

healthy meal.

But Smelly said it's too dry... grr.. should've made meatball soup instead of frying it.. cos he's actually sick..


very satisfied with my cooking! hahahahah! come to think of it.. it's been a while since i last cooked a full meal like this.. at least two years since i last cooked! no time lah..

Mother's Day '09

So last week was Mother's Day... we're supposed to go dinner with gramma but Shorty ffk (ps- gramma misses Eva! please arrange a time to see her after she's back from Taiwan cos she'll be going to Melbourne with 2nd gramma in June!). so i went dimsum with gramma and 2nd gramma on Mother's Day.

at night, i suggested to bring Smelly's mom for dinner cos i know Smelly wouldn't do anything if i didn't plan it. initially, we wanted to go Duck King at Jaya One (i think..) and i was very excited cos i've never been there. Smelly been there few times and he raved about the duck there. we supposed to go out at about 6pm but Smelly's mom got guest at home and we waited til about 8pm. so we had to go somewhere else for duck.. i think we went to Seapark.. Smelly said they have similar duck.. so disappointed that i didn't get to try Duck King. hmph..

the duck.

got the drumstick!

some pumpkin dish. it has mushroom, abolone slice, sea cucumber, scallop.. er.. dunno what else. quite nice. i like the pumpkin! very sweet and tasty!

love the mushroom!

dunno what fish. very fresh! i like! but it's like.. RM70 for this dish alone! damn expensive right? and it's only half the fish! the pumpkin is only RM50.. grr.. seafood..

family photo. (Smelly's brother went fishing. i think he forgot about Mother's Day though.. lol... )

we actually ordered seong tong nai bak er... vege soup.. but then it never came so we cancelled our order.. overall the food was delicious. i'd rate 7/10. it's packed when we arrived. i think due to Mother's Day. but then Smelly said normal day also very packed cos people go for the duck... i forgot what's the restaurant's name though...

can't wait to try Duck King!

Melaka.0309

Finally have the time to post up some photos here.. ok.. so I went to Melaka with Vincent in March (i know.. damn long d right?) not knowing how exactly to go, we just fuel up the tank and drove down to Melaka. Being a safer "adventurist", Vincent bought a map while i pump the petrol. actually i planned to go Cherating that weekend but he said he don't have enough time to do research so we went to Melaka instead. at least nearer...

we started our journey at about 2pm.. reached there about 4 and the first stop we went to is the chicken rice ball shop.

my plate of rice balls. so-so only

Vincent likes it with dark soy sauce.

my favourite dish. but too bad, it's COLD. yes... it's cold. it's either they scooped it out for hours or they forgot to make it hot. NOT NICE. what a disappointment. better luck in finding a nice chicken rice ball stall next time!

after that, we went for a walk at Jonker Street. it's just like normal pasar malam. a lot of food stalls and when we passed by each stalls, we're like.. "wanna try??" then we'll agree to "try later after the walk". then we came by this shop who's selling asam laksa. we were both salivating.. probably because both of us likes asam laksa.. then beside the stall, it's another stall who sells asam laksa. but looked like very full. so we decided to join the crowd and lined up for it.

remember this.

after 10 minutes of waitng in line, we finally got our laksa. because we're still full from rice, we only ordered one bowl to share. BIG MISTAKE.

cos it's so the very delicious that we're both fighting for it!!!

only remember to take a photo after we drank the soup. lol!

look at him...

see? i'm not kidding! it's like the best asam laksa!! btw, that's Nyoya Asam Laksa that he ordered.. they have quite a few types of laksa to choose from.

chendol. it's quite nice but too "coconutty" for my liking.

look at the people waiting to get that bowl of laksa..

and the stall beside it is like.. totally opposite!

after laksa, we walked a while and went hunting for satay celup.

we're too full so we ordered only a few sticks.. it's not as good as i remembered though..

oh.. bought a lot of dodol home as well.. and some of it will be delivered to NY for veyBoy cos he's craving for it! heheh.. can we actually post food overseas??

this trip is short but fun. too bad we didn't have camera with us.. we both forgot to charge our camera! who wants to go Melaka with me next time???

melaka trip photos coming up!

grr..

there's so many things that i wanted to talk about. write about. bitch about. gah!

even though i'm not working now, it's funny that i can't seem to find time to write properly. i don't want to forget a lot of things. there's just so many things that i wanted to keep in record but somehow... words in my mind can't seem to flow out as i wanted every time i started writing. ugh.

one day.

i'm waiting for my verbal diarrhea.

i can sense it's coming soon.

you wait!
