that's really nice of you to give her a break :) mmmm pasar ramadan. maybe kak noor will make her tasty sambal ikan bilis and nasi lemak for me sometime?
You got yourself a deal, sistah!

yahoooooo!! hey, at least kita tak payah spit out all the air lioq, otherwise you would be even dryer now, hey? ;)
i know i'm not the one puasa-ing...but my saliva gland is working overtime at this time!!!
luckily for me it's night time over here! hehehehee...although i will say i stood for about 4 hours yesterday baking and cooking. all prior to buka puasa. during which time i did not taste any of the food, so was hoping the food would be seasoned ok. man, when i was switching mixer attachments, it was hard to keep myself from "ngapping" a bit of the dough into my mouth.

hehehe you oso tok. i saw what you cook velly nice... :D keep posting some more loh..
really ah, siewjang, i think i will have to keep washing my camera soon. keep stopping, washing my hands and taking pics while i cook. sure when the thing is frying, food/oil splatter the camera, no??? you have this problem or not??
siewjang
10-25-2005, 11:44 AM
1) Ask hubby to help. First thing he say was "For your forum again ah?" :o - Fine
2) Do it myself - Kalau tumis chili, belum sempat gaul sudah hangus. Melekat kat kuali.
Haha. like you say, keep on washing hands too.
hehehe your item number 2 is right. while frying the mee goreng, i tumis cili also got a bit kering because too busy running around taking pictures. lucky pakai non-stick, otherwise sure stuck oso!! :)
i did get vin to take a few of the pictures but he was busy grading papers and didn't want to kacau him every time i wanted to take a picture.. :o

sila, you do cook a good variety for your meals... how do you find the time..?
i only cook on weekends. i guess now it takes the time i used to spend going to movies...heheheheh :D
actually though, i love playing in the kitchen. getting my hands in the food. thursday i oredi start thinking about what to make and compiling grocery lists in my mind. and i watch the food network to get new ideas for variety.
sometimes, vin goes grocery shopping and he sees some odd veggie or something, bring back and ask me what i can do with it. so some of the variety is a bit of a challenge since it's like the surprise ingredient or whatever. hehehehehe
LiLiaN
10-25-2005, 06:29 PM
oh that's nice... and with vin helping out, that makes things somewhat easier too...
pity nobody in my house enjoy cooking as much as i do...
so it's kinda tiring since if i ever plan to do big cook-out, i'm on my own...
right from shopping to preparation to serving (ok, maybe i'll get help at serving)...
so have long since resorted to usually one/two dish meal when i cook...
oh yeah, i get a lot of help from vin actually. i don't do hardly any clean up. the deal is whoever cooks doesn't have to clean. guess who hates cleaning?? so i would much rather cook! if i had to do all the cleanup, i think i would be a lot less adventurous when cooking. not to mention god bless the dishwashing machine!!! :smile-2:
LiLiaN
10-25-2005, 06:34 PM
oh gosh... you reminded me of cleaning up... well, usually i'd be cleaning after i cook too...
in fact, in our house, it's funny... the person cooking will clean up...
good thing we take turn and have to cook only once a week...
taking turns works too. maybe the fact that half the time i don't have a kitchen helps make me more enthusiastic to cook when i do have a kitchen. but cleanup is a bitch and i'm so happy i've the opportunity to outsource it.
hey if i come visit you, i'll help you in the kitchen and volunteer vin for cleanup duty. can ah?? :D
LiLiaN
10-25-2005, 06:39 PM
ah, by then, you're my guests so all you do is sit and eat... ;)
oh how i wish for a bigger kitchen though...
we are malaysians. i've never visited any malaysian household and not been roped into doing chores (some chopping, some stirring, some dishwashing, etc.). so i could never just sit around and let you serve us lah! guest or no guest! :D

can you have a small plate of spaghetti, meat sauce and parmesan? and have a big piece of salmon on the side. as a treat? or is that bad too? (i'm trying to do portion control - yesterday went to bed hungry because i cut down on my portions).

Hardest part is the begining....damn....have to play videogames to re-focus my attention from food. Sigh!!! Also, don't stock up on keropok at home. When i go to kitchen, all i have is apple or pear in my fridge. Keep it up Sila, its hard but once you start loosing you'll feel great about yourself.
i'll take it slow. just want to keep healthy, after all.
however, it is now time for lunch. we are having leftover goat curry! mm mm mmmmm... ok lah there goes my diet ;) take it easy and feel better, dino.

also i made kueh buah melaka, but really it's buah ghirardelli since got no gula melaka so i put chocolate in the middle. same effect of it exploding in your mouth when you bite in, but instead you get a chocolate explosion. and in honor of the middle, i rolled it in powdered chocolate (since hard to find grated coconut lah! :squeeze: )

u cannot get coconut in US?
aiyoh... the last time i made rendang, we bought a whole coconut (without the sabut). and man it was rough to get it open. got no parang wor... so vin was hammering and chiseling. finally got the thing open, have to hand grate to get fresh grated coconut!!
can get the coconut in the bag lah...it's processed. probably have all kinds of bad chemicals... :sus:

haha...and the indian guys here make it look so simple! whack whack whack...and the thing is open!!....
my granny still have the traditional bench to grate coconut...but no one used in for a LONG LONG LONG time!
i had to hand grate it with a cheese grater. terrible lah. sakit takan. grated my hand aso...i wanted my grandma's kukur nyiur, the kind you sit on and grate. :D

wow....the troubles you go to to get the grated coconut...
oh..it's called a kukur nyiur ok....just get it when u come back next time la... not a big item wert!
just steal my grandma's lah. i think that thing is probably an antique by now... who even grates their own coconut anymore? these days can just go to the market and buy pre-squeezed santan, can even buy kerisik. no need to go through such antiquated processes like i had to do! funny how moving to a first world country causes me to have to go back to basics in order to get stuff you can just buy for 50 sen in malaysia!!
so last night we had a dinner and 2 of our friends came to the house for dinner. on the menu was:
cold sesame noodles:

as for the roti part, i made rosemary focaccia:

and my lazy-girl "kari puff" (vin calls it "potato pie"):

the filling was kari potato and corn (no kacang kuda or peas, unfortunately, in my cupboard):

and for dessert, i made raisin-orange bread, with orange glazing on top.
we cut slits in the top of the bread so the glazing will sink in and soak into the bread:

out of the tin:

we had this for dessert with some vanilla ice cream while the bread was still warm from the oven.
Now i am hungry....ok...i go eat breakfasts now....
i just ate trail mix and banana for breakfast. now i want some sesame noodles... :)

i'm bad about having an organized breakfast these days. the best i can rustle up is some fruit and nuts. sometimes a yogurt bar if i have one. otherwise nothing...

This is not bad compared to what I experienced.
During a public listed co AGM, when we came out for refreshment after the meeting in the hotel, all the food were GONE. We asked the hotel and the staff told us that 2 aunties sapu everything into their bag and walked off. :wacko:

Haha.. wanted to take pics but no mood already.
After marinating all looks good. Now the frying part. I was so wrong not using the non-stick pan. By the time I was about to flip the fish fillet, omg. It stick to the pan. and just imagine the oil started to squirt *ouch*. Finally, managed to flip and the pan started to burn. long story..... after that my mood totally gone. But the mash potatoes was yummy!
ooooh - i've done that before with non stick pan too. the fish just sticks there like no tomorrow. i did a fish filet so finally i got crumbled up fish instead of pan fried fish.. :(
hope you are ok from getting squirted with hot oil!! :confused: :sad-2:

I'm ok. Not! Have to clean the stove and floor like no body business :mad: . And you know how we hate that part :squeeze: .
I'll take Lilian's suggestion the next round. Wrap them in the aluminium foil and bake them. But the crunchiness is not there plus (do you know fried food taste better?)
Ok...start a new thread....400++ liao!!! :squeeze:
