Fried Kembung in Chilli Oil

 This is my last entry before getting into Ramadhan. Just to share an instant & quick cooking with Chilli Oil that I made earlier here and here. Apart from accompanying noodles & rice, you can also use chili oil for instant cooking like what I did here. Just fry some big onion until soft, add in chilli oil & stir in fried fish ( I used Mackerel or Kembung)..... ready in just 5 minutes! Very much suitable for Sahur when you need to cook something quickly..... serve with hot rice and that's all you need!

BAHASA MALAYSIA VERSION
Kalau ada cili oil memang mudah sebab selain makan cili oil dgn mi goreng/sup & sebagai nya, boleh juga buat masakan lauk segera. Cuma kalau nak beli cili oil yg dah siap di jual harga nya memang mahal. Kalau rajin, boleh lah buat sendiri, resepi dah ada kat sini dan sini dulu. Untuk buat masakan ikan macam ni, cuma goreng bawang besar & letak cili oil dgn api padam (supaya tak hangus sbb cili oil dah cukup garing) & ikan yg dah siap di goreng.... siap.

Salam Ramadhan 2011

Assalamualaikum kpd semua kekawan dan pembaca2 sekalian. Salam Ramadhan Al-Mubarak, semuga di tahun ini kita semua selamat mengerjakan ibadat puasa dan mendapat segala keberkatan yang di harapkan.

Maaf lah ya, Along tak dapat nak melawat rumah ke rumah untuk ucapan & oleh itu, di sini kad bagi pengganti diri khas buat kekawan semua.... amik bawa balik ya.

Ini nak gantung kad dari kekawan yang sempat Along kutip. Maceh semua.

Fish & Cheesy Wedges

 Found a bag of huge fillet (from a giant fish that I bought long time ago) in the freezer while searching for an idea for dinner. I just wanted to clear the whole lot of it and what better way than making fish & chips. Since I have a can of cheddar cheese dip, I thought replacing potato chips with cheesy wedges will please the kids better & I was right.... They were all thrilled whenever I cooked western menu but me & my hubby always prefer rice & dishes... anyway tonite we gave in to the kids.

Kuih Ketupor

 Remember my plea for Kuih Ketupor recipe that I posted earlier in here? I received one response from Nur68 who generously shared her mum's recipe with me via email. I am so grateful to her and mum for allowing me to share the recipe here with all of you. They are hoping this will also help to promote the local Sarawakian kuih to the other part of the world and also future generation. Nowadays, it is hard to find the traditional kuih being sold to the extent that most young generation have not even heard of it.

This Kuih Ketupor is made of rice and coconut at the bottom layer whilst the top layer is similar to serimuka topping. It is very delicious and I love it so much. Many thanks to Nur68 & mum for such a nice recipe.

Cow Brain in Turmeric Broth (Otak Masak Lemak Kunyit)

 I'm sure many of you never tasted cow brain. It is my favourite since I was a kid. Every year when my father slaughtered cow for Hari Raya sale, he surely reserved the brain for me. There was one year I couldn't come home for Hari Raya during my student time, my father sobbed quietly thinking of me when my mum served the brain. So whenever I cooked this dish, I will surely think of my belated father.

My friend gave me the cow brain from the cow he slaughtered for his daughter's wedding. Apparently, the Sarawakian throw away the brain because they don't like it. I told them that it is very delicious. This is the way my mum cook the cow brain every year in thick turmeric broth. Warn you that 100g cow brain contain 2054mg cholesterol (compared to 100g beef which contains only 65g cholesterol) i.e 30 times more of its meat..... Anyway, I don't care..... the last time I ate cow brain was about 5 years ago.... so I'm fulfilling my crave here....LOL!

INGREDIENTS:
Cow Brain from 1 cow

Kek Lumut Sarawak II (Sarawak Steamed Green Cake II)

 Few days ago, my lovely blog friend Nur68 emailed me this very nice recipe of her mum's which she said is an old version of Sarawak Kek Lumut. I get very excited when I received this recipe by looking at the ingredients which uses only sugee flour & nestum with no flour necessary. I couldn't wait to try it out and today is the best opportunity because I was on half day leave in the afternoon and my friend CikY & her son from KL visited us. I invited her for dinner and this cake was one of my treat.

My hubby really loves this cake and he did not stop eating it one by one while complementing the taste. Indeed this is very different than the first Kek Lumut version that I tried earlier here in term of ingredients/texture/taste - it is softer and crumbly and most of all tastier. I will definitely make this again in the future but perhaps should reduce the amount of butter slightly. Thanks so much Nur Cayang & to your kind mum too for sharing a great recipe.

Sorry for keep you waiting. It was passed 1 am when I posted it last night and hence was too tired to type the recipe.

Tapioca Leaves & Smoked Fish Masak Lemak

 Old folks said that no good to consume tapioca leaves because it creates wind in body. Not sure how true that is but I guess once in a while will be no harm.

Therefore when choosing local vegetables I simply follow my heart, throat & stomach.....LOL.

Eggless Caramel Pudding (Puding Karamel Tanpa Telur)

 Another dessert that I made for the BBQ party in the recent weekend. Since my hubby does not like caramel pudding due to its egg smell, I made an eggless version hoping to please him but he said there is no different to the typical taste of caramel pudding. So I guess it is not the egg but the creamy taste of milk that makes him dislike it. For me personally, I prefer the steamed version (with egg of course). This version produces very smooth texture compared to my steamed version.

Award from KakPaty

  Dear friends and readers, sorry for disappearing for the last many days. My phone line was cut off two days  before I went off for business travel and therefore I left without any warning. I just came back & little bit tired but will be active again as soon as I can find opportunity to do so.

A pleasant surprise awaiting for me soon after I logged on to my blog.... a recognition award from KakPaty whom I admire for her wittiness, passion and determination. Your recognition is much appreciated and hence framed herewith for eternal memory. Thanks so much.....mmmmmmmmuah2.

The award came with some rules:

#1 Thank the person that nominated you
Done

#2 Put the award up on your blog
Done

#3 Post a link to the person that nominated you
Done

#4 Share 7 interesting facts about yourself
 Not sure what I can tell - done many tags earlier on which you can check in the index. Anyway, here some more:
i.) My favourite flowers are roses
I love real roses or anything with roses prints / shapes (see my blog background.... have not changed it for years... hehe)

ii.) I'm a shoppaholic..... (KakPaty, this one we are alike... haha!)
Kalau berkenan jer memang rembat abis tapi kalau tak jumpa yg berkenan di hati biar pakai yg buruk pun takpa...hehe. Lepas shopping jer memang ketawa beso.... kahkahkah. Bila dah pencen nanti kita dok diam2.













iii.) My favourite fast food is Fillet O Fish from Mc Donald....

iv.) Food I don't like? I eat anything unless I'm allergic to it or food yang tak sedap....hehe. Apa yang tak sedap tu ikut tekak semasa ler kan.

v.) Many people asked me how I stay 'slim' from young until this late age despite I cook all the time....
Answer: I have no idea.... I eat whatever I like (no particular diet) and hardly exercise.... but my cholesterol level requires attention. Rice is a must for me everyday and I don't believe rice can cause fat - it is  my source of energy. By the way, I myself think I am not slim, it is others who think so.....haha. I start to see the scale keep on climbing up.... one day people will notice otherwise....

vi.) Many people ask me how I find so much time to do many things and be successful at all them?
Answer: I don't get more time, I do less and get more.... Confused? I don't get to do everything that I like to do in life but I do what is important i.e. prioritise well so that whatever you get done is done satisfactorily. By prioritise you have more time to do more too. Many people focus on nitty gritty things in life which cannot bring much meaning when looked back. Want to know more, let's talk.

vii.) My philosophy: Life is tough but God is fair
Always be thankful (bersyukur) no matter what the situation is and you will enjoy life better. No matter how hard you feel on some path of life, it will be over and end with either regret or satisfaction. It is you who decides whether you see it positively or negatively.

#5 Finally, nominate 5 other people you think deserve the award.
Nak tagging ni yang susah sikit sebab ramai sangat blogger yg hebat2 sekarang ni. Yang Along minat semua nya dah pun dapat award ni, so kita relax kat sini jer lah ya.
