Nasi Lemak Buah Bidara...

Hehehe... Went to Tini's place that afternoon & suddenly it started raining. Then the kids fell asleep, so waited for a while. Pastu hujan tuh xnak berenti! Uiks! Lucky Mr Hubby had to stay at the office so no rush la kan. Hehe... Balik je terus keluarkan bahan, mandikan the kids, masak. Siap masak Mr Hubby arrived from work. (Note, masa tuh dah pukul 11. Huhu... Dah nak pitam kelaparan). So terusla makan... Xleh buat selalu, Syafi nenen so sangat xlarat n penng if xmakan. Hmm...

Lauk hostel. Hehe

We used to have this at our hostel's dining hall. At that time, we almost always would think, takde lauk lain ke nak masak! Change the ikan kembung to ikan jacket. Anyway, the above was what we had for dinner on Tuesday. Didn't plan to cook, but the kids fell asleep a bit earlier than usual due to flu, so last minute dinner it is.

A packet of su'un n fucuk

Beef Rendang & Fishball Soup

My parents came over last Friday, till Sunday. So as always, mak brought some beef rendang for us. No recipes for the rendang. Simply because everytime she makes rendang, she'll alter the ingredients. And we had it for dinner last night (Mak put aside 1 big container for my hubby, he had department retreat last weekend). Rendang accompanied by Fishball soup. Kampung meets modern. Haha... No, just have to balance the cholestrol in the rendang with the soup. Konon!


Fishball Soup
Fishballs
Broccoly
White Mushrooms
Onions n garlic
Anchovies @ dried shrimps
Salt to taste


1. Put anchovies, onions, garlic, salt and some water, to boil.
2. When it's boiled, put in fishballs, broccoly, mushrooms and stir for a while till nicely done.
3. Ready to serve

Ayam Masak Padang

For dinner tonight, I tested this recipe. Ayam Masak Padang. Hehe... Padang styled chicken? I guess so. Hubby said it tasted nice, next time can try other new recipes, to give variety. So here goes :D

Ayam Masak Padang

1 whole chicken (cut into 16)

2 bombay/green onions

3 garlics

2 tbs dried chillies

1 inch ginger

1/2 inch galangal

Tumeric

2 stalks of lemongrass

1 kg coconut milk

A few kaffir lime leaves

1. Blend/ground ingredients in italic, then fry them until golden brown. Put in the lemongrass as well.

2. Put in the chicken and a little water. When the water dried a bit, put in the coconut milk.

3. Let it cook. Finally put in the lime leaves.

The day I'm idea-less!

Haha... Really! I just didn't have a wink on what to feed my family. So I ended up with this. Hmm... Thought of having dinner out, but hubby had to stay late at the office, so...
