The Delicious Riot of Colours !


I saw this AMAZING display of frozen yoghurt in BKK...I was full to the brim but from a distance, I was drawn to the colours as if I was in trance...Then, I stood for a good 5mins just looking at the beautiful colours of frozen yoghurt on display...I was practically in total awe! hahaha!

The japs knew way before that proper branding, packaging and product display is soooooo important...So to those who said these 3 things above aren't important, please buck up and open up k...but back to the photos....

Oh my...just looking at the photos make me dream of the colours and the wonderful taste again...sighhhhh....

Just look at those berries!

Nasi Goreng Pedas


This recipe was taken somewhere for Mi Siam goreng.... I've tweaked the recipe abit to suit my taste and I've used them to fry with rice, lontong or macaroni and they are all delicious so its a good recipe to keep....

ok now, lets share the love for spicy fried rice aka nasi goreng pedas!

here goes...

1.5 cups of uncook rice (wash and cook)

10pcs of dried chillies (rinsed and soaked in hot water till its very soft)

1 medium size onion

4 garlic

8 cili padi (i usuali use 10 for max spiciness!)

2 tbsp oyster sauce

1.5 tbsp light soya sauce

a handful of dried prawns (soaked in hot water)

200g of uncooked minced beef

1 cup of frozen corns carrots and peas (I use the watties brand, they're snap frozen so the freshness is retained)

5 small eggs, scrambled and prepared beforehand

ok...lets get started (be sure to prepare everything first before you do k...)

1) Pound or grind together the soaked dried chillies, cili padi, dried prawns, medium onion and garlic.

2) Heat up ard 3tbsp of cooking oil and fry all the pounded ingredients... (be careful when u pour it in ya)

3) After ard 10 mins, I add in the oyster sauce and the light soya sauce and fry for another 5 mins and then add in the minced beef and cook until the oil separates from the chilli paste and the minced beef is cooked (for me, that'll be around another say 15mins under medium flames)

4) Add in the frozen corn carrots and peas and fry for another 5 mins...

5) Finally, add in the rice and the scrambled eggs and stir thoroughly so that the paste coats the rice well...(Its ok to increase the flame a little now)

Fry chicken wings and fish keropok to serve on the sides and this is able to feed 4 hungry peeps :o)

Simple Fried Chicken recipe ~

1kg chicken pieces

1.5 tsp ground turmeric

1.5 tsp salt

1/2 tsp ground black pepper

1 tsp sugar

1) Place the chicken in a mixing bowl and add in the salt, sugar, turmeric and ground black pepper, mixing to distribute evenly. Marinate for 20 mins. (I just fry straightaway sometimes and its ok)

2) Heat enough oil in the wok and add the chicken pieces and cook over high heat to seal in the juices and to brown slightly. Reduce the heat to medium and fry till chicken is cooked.

There you go, sunday morning brunch for you...serve with good hot hot coffee and eaten with good company, even simple food can be so delicious right :o)

Fried Rice Paradise





THIS, is one of my favourite things. And when I go get it, I make sure only that certain lady is the one who's going to fry this (she doesnt own the stall but helps to man it)...If its not her cooking on that day, I'll just go elsewhere....hahaha! That's how good this lady makes it...

This stall is the one that sells chicken rice at the original makan place (not the new extensions) at Tanjong Pagar Railway Station...well I do not know the name of the lady but she only cooks in the day, night time its usuali somebody else...not that the others are very bad but its just mediocre to my standards! haha!

Delicious weekend dine out brunches


We went for indian and swedish fare this weekend...Dined out because for the life of me I do not know why is that I'm so tired...I took a nap on sat after the bhattura meal and then woke up late on sunday...Just totally not me at all...But husband's been wheezing and coughing every night for the past week so that might be why my body just wants rest this weekend...

well...

We had wonderful brunches dis weekend...Lovely! The bhattura was enjoyed from this old vegetarian komala villas restaurant just behind the tekka market and the swedish fare at Fika...

me...I had meatballs with potatos at fika...the pic above is my husband's favourite which is equally good too...:o)
