Faux Pas

8:34 AM | Labels:

Yesterday I made a faux pas.

Two actually.
Well it doesn't taste good like other things I've made and left a bad after taste in my mouth.
What is actually a faux pas you might asked?

Cambridge Advance Learner's Dictionary
Faux pas; words or behaviour that are a social mistake or not polite.

Right now I am trying my best to undo my blunder but at the same time I don't wanna make the situation become more awkward.

Hmmm...

I guess there won't be any dessert for me today.

Home Made Oreo Mint Ice Cream

1:05 PM | Labels: ,



I can't wait a minute longer to brag post these pictures in this blog. Took it out from the fridge, crossed fingers, scoop it out, crossed fingers, took a few pics, crossed fingers, open mouth and eat!! Yay!! The taste is incredibly 'cool' and yummy. Finally all my patience have paid off.


Can't share the recipe with you yet tho, because there are too many trials, re-do, re-blend, re-freeze etc until up to the point I don't even know what I had put to make them taste like this.

Ok I admit, I lied! I really don't wanna share you the recipe.. haha!

Ops! sorry.. I can't really control what my alter-ego is saying.


Will update this post as soon as I finish making the third batch later.

Life is short. Have the dessert first.

Chicken Porridge a la McDonald's

10:12 AM | Labels:


This is a recipe that I have tried three times and the result is marvelous. The cost of making this dish is just a fraction of what you might pay in the fast food restaurant.
Below is the recipe.

Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cup of rice
  • 1 litre of water
  • 1 inch ginger (crushed)
  • 1 cube chicken stock (crushed)
  • 300g chicken meat (0r 1/4 of chicken whole)
  • salt to taste
Garnish
  • spring onion
  • coriander leaves
  • fried shallots
  • black sesame oil
Method
  1. Put the chicken in a pot and add water until the chicken fully submerged. Add some salt and a pinch of crushed chicken stock. Bring the chicken to a simmer. Take out, deboned and shred (wait until it cools first.. haha). Keep the broth for later
  2. Wash and drain the rice, add the chicken broth. and cook in medium heat.
  3. Pour in 1 liter of water, stir occasionally.
  4. Bring them to a simmer, when the porridge is about ready put in the ginger and crushed chicken cube. Add in the shredded chicken (or you may add them later on top). Add salt to taste.
  5. Put it in a large bowl and garnish.
  6. Add sesame oil to individual bowl
  7. EAT!! LOL.
Wahlawei.. Very hard to translate the recipe in English... hahaha.. Next time it will be as it is lah. Cintailah Bahasa Kebangsaan Kita!!


P/S: Rice is naturally sweet, the salt is needed to 'drown' the sweetness a bit. The key to perfection is.. the taste buds on your tongue.. LOL




Life is short. Have the dessert first!

Trial & Error

7:50 AM | Labels: ,

A friend of mine once said that life is short, have the dessert first. I couldn't agree more. I have just finished making the second batch of home-made Oreo mint ice cream and couldn't wait for the outcome.

Second batch? Yup.. It is still in its trial and error process. The first batch suffered from too much mint flavouring that it became bitter. And it failed to hardened like what ice cream should be because I kept inspecting it every hour or so (hahaha).

Hopefully the second batch would turn out as wonderful as what ice cream should be and I can start writing down the recipe here.

Til then, I am keeping my finger crossed (and the refrigerator door tightly closed)..

Life is short, have the dessert first!

IntRoduction

7:14 AM | Labels:

This blog is a spin-off from my Facebook account. Since I am posting quite a lot of food pictures these days and been asked for the recipe a lot. I think it will be better to create a separate blog.


Besides, I like to brag about it

I am neither a chef nor an expert in cooking. Let just say the yet to be develop skill comes from 5 years of torturing my stomach eating expensive but bad tasting food sold here. I can't define where exactly "here" at the moment but I can paint a picture of how bad and expensive the food was.

Nasi Goreng Pattaya is a plain fried rice with a fried egg on top (yup... just sitting on top.. laughing at me.. the sucker) and Nasi Ayam Penyet is plain rice serve with plain fried chicken (marinate? what's that) and plain raw ulam raja.. The former is RM6.50 and the latter is RM7. Exorbitant? Right on.

Hence, I cook.. and loving it since ;)
