Ikan Masak Rebus (Boiled Fish)

 This is kampung style cooking which is healthy and nice to have when there are fresh fish.

To cook this dish, just place fish, water, bruised lemongrass, red chili, sliced ginger, onion, garlic, 1 piece tamarind & salt in a pot & boiled until fish are cooked.
BAHASA MALAYSIA VERSION
Hari ni Along masak sempoi, rebus jer. Sape2 yg nak turunkan kolestrol, elok lah amalkan masakan cam ni...hehe. Tapi nak masak camni, ikan kena segar tau.

Cara masak, letak ikan, air, serai (ketuk sikit), hirisan cabai, bwg merah, bwg putih, halia, asam keping & garam ke dalam periuk & rebus sehingga ikan masak. Siap.... senang kan!

Fried Mee Suah

 Made this for our breakfast today. I never tried mee suah fried version but only ones in soup so I was very curious about it when I saw at Madiha's  house. Indeed, Madiha is right, it is very nice and although it looks like meehoon, tastewise is very different. My husband said it tastes nicer than fried meehoon. Thanks Madiha and Ayu for sharing a nice idea.
 I did not follow the original recipe except the method of preparing the mee suah because I didn't have the same ingredients. You can check out the original recipe from the link.

Tapioca Rings (Keria Ubikayu)

 Kuih Keria is an old traditional Malay kuih which is typically made of sweet potatoes. However, I have not tried it with Tapioca and I imagined that should be very nice after seeing it at Chikmi's house. Despite my busy routines and hectic time in office, I made an effort to made this at night after dinner time because I couldn't wait till weekend. I made quite a lot and freeze them ready to be fried anytime when needed but of course I fried some for immediate consumption despite I was quite full after the dinner. I love the taste of the tapioca, the soft texture in the inside but crispy on the outside and well complimented by crunchy sugar coating..... served with black coffeee..... aaaaargh what a satisfaction....hehehe.

Fried Ice Cream (Aiskrim Goreng)

 Saw this at Zana's house & gave it a try as it looks quite simple. Actually not as easy as it sounds..... My bread break after cut out revealing the ice cream content and I guess the bread brand that I used is too thin. I felt like giving up but didn't want to waste it so went ahead and fry it anyway after freezing it overnight. To my surprise the ice cream did not melt despite the leaking.

I fried the first one very lightly as I was worried that the ice cream melts if I fry too long. I fried the next batch a little longer trying as an experiment and so fortunate that the ice cream was still solid & frozen inside. The tips is make sure the oil is really hot and the ice cream is frozen hard.

Crispy Fish with Ginger Flower Sauce (Ikan Rangup dgn Sambal Bunga Kantan)

 I like to buy medium-big size fish & deep fry in whole instead of slicing into smaller size. This way, the outer part is crispy but soft in the inside. See my cooking method below & you will get a crispy fish just like the one served in restaurants....! You can then serve it with any preferred sambal/sauce/gravy. This time I served it with Ginger Flower Sauce..... definitely yummy....!
Recipe By: Roz@HomeKreation
Serves 5 persons
INGREDIENTS:
1 whole Fish (about 1 kg weight) - I used red snapper this time

1 small Ginger Bud/Flower* (* blender) 
1 Tomato - cubed 
1/2 Big Onion - sliced 
1 Lime
Salt

METHOD:
1. Slice both sides of the fish criss-cross like in the picture above.
Rub fish with salt.
Roll it onto cornflour & deep fry in a non-stick wok.
I used less oil than typical deep fry - see picture below - this method, the fish will be very crispy.
Do not flip until one side is really cooked & crispy to prevent it sticking to the wok.
Flip & cook the same way on the other side.
Once cooked, place it on a serving plate.

2. Heat up some oil in a wok & stir fry the blended ingredients until fragrant.
Add in salt, sliced onion & tomato.
Cook for few more minutes until onion is soften.
Served at the side of the fried fish with sliced lime.
