Woof, woof....Doggy

Friday morning passed by South City Plaza and saw a big banner advertised there is a Dog Show on Saturday at the plaza itself. I told dearie hubby I am going to bring the kids for Dog Show and tell him to be prepared to wake up early. Since it is admission FREE and only 15 minutes drives from my house, so why not bring them there rather than going down to KL.

Saturday morning I get the kids to wake him up at 9.30 am and all of us changed and get ready to go.

My Ee-Thern is so excited cos this little boy loves DOG. But not for me and Le-Ann. I just hate dogs although it is cute but I don't know why. Told dearie Suki before "please no pet in the house especially those with fur". Maybe is because I am more worried that their fur will be all around the house and got to vacum the house everyday. I got no such time for taking care a dog.

Little Ee-Thern was so excited and he is kind of brave and dare to touch the doggy. I am so worried that the dog will bite him!

Ladies Naughty Outing

Went out clubbing with my good 'ci mui' on Friday night after work and also we take this oppurtunities to celebrate PF's birthday. All of us decided to go Karaoke at Mid Valley. It is quite fun when all of us meet and we will laugh, chit chatting, doing stupid acts, talk nonsense and day dreaming.

Not going to write much cos now is almost 3.30 am and few more hours to go I need to wake up and go to the wet market to do my weekly marketing. So I hope the photos will show what we did that night.

To all 'Ci Mui' I know you gals are eagerly waiting for pictures cos Sam MSN me few hours ago. So here you go and have a good laugh. 'LOL'

The karaoke session come with a buffet dinner package at RM38.88 per person. Food is so, so only. Nothing to complaint cos all of us are too hungry. But our main objective that night is to sing only.

Me and Eve snap the first picture. Michelle enjoying the fried popiah wrapped with chicken floss and she is asking me why got rubberband on it. Michelle is not rubberband la. I think the brown string is Yee Mee.

PF, Sam, Eve enjoying their singing.

Happy Birthday to you, PF. How old are you ah? Is the candle correct ah? Joking only, pleaseeee don't get angry.

Given Vivian the task to buy a birthday cake for PF and she buy a Fresh Fruits Chiffon Cake from Bread Story. Nice cake Vivian..... Good Job !

Me the kepoh chi, take the honour to cut the cake and divide into 6. Just nice for all of us.

Sam and Eve, eh we haven't drink yet why so siau? If we really drink that night we much more siau I bet.

PF hope you like the hair clip we give you.

Look the ' siao char boh ' hugging each other and much more 'siao' go carpark also want to take picture. LOL

Left the place at about 1 am and reach home about 2 am. Really tired but we really enjoy ourselves.

Malay Food For Dinner ?

Last Thursday we have Malay food at home since I have Petai and Ikan Keli in the fridge. I never come across this fish called Ikan Keli until when I was studying in UNI. This is because we used to go to the Cafeteria in our campus for lunch and as you know local university is all about Malay Food. So tried this fish and I love it so much and whenever I go to any Malay stalls for lunch now I will look for this fish.

I ask my Ah Mah, why she didn't buy this fish and cook at home before. You know what she tell me? This fish is actually a " Longkang Fish " and it is considered a cheap fish but for me it taste so good when you deep fried it and top over with sambal. It is just lovely.

This our dinner at home .... Malay food for change once in a while.

I have been thinking the whole Saturday morning what is My Favourite Food ya. This is hard cos for me I am a food lover too and whatever foods which is nice will goes down my stomach. A real Bandaraya !

So, Ok let me see, well my favourite one will be the Chee Cheong Fun with the Prawn Paste Sauce or we called it in Hokkien " Heah Koh Chee Cheong Fun ". I just love the sauce so much and it is nothing compare to the sweet sauce in KL and you can hardly find a stall selling Chee Cheong Fun with Prawn Paste Sauce in KL. Except for on stall in Seapark, PJ they have this. If I am not mistaken the coffee shop is called O&S and its a corner lot opposite the petrol station.

Whenever I visit Penang for work I will look forward for my colleagues to bring me to this coffee shop at Macalister Lane, Penang for this famous Heah Koh Chee Cheong Fun run by a husband and wife. You just got to wait about 1/2 an hour or sometimes more when they got people from other places take away about 80 -100 packets.

Emmm.... simply delicious and everytime feel like licking the sauce from the plate till clean.

Don't know what is dad secret recipe for the pork fillings even dearie Suki love it so much. He say Dad's wantan is better than mine !

Kam Heong La La

Went to the SS13 pasar malam and found La La ( clams ) again in one of the stall. This round is the bigger size of La La. Feel like eating so bought a plate of it and going to cook Kam Heong La La.

Ei- Faye, so sorry that I can't get the smaller size of La La. I ask the aunty at the stall, how long can we keep this La La in the fridge. So her tips to me is to clean the La La then boil the La La in hot water till cook. Then keep in a container and it will last about 3 days.

Here is the recipe :

Ingredients :
500gm La La, cleaned and soaked in salt water
1 tbsp dried prawns, soaked in water
4 sprigs of curry leaves
Some onion
1 tbsp curry paste
1 tsp light soya sauce
1 tsp sugar

Method :
1. Heat 2 tbsp of oil and fried the dried prawns, curry leaves, onion and the curry paste till fragrant.
2. Add in the La La, light soya sauce and sugar and stir-fry for 2 minutes and the cover the lid.
3. Cook for about 5 minutes until the La La shell opened up. Dish up and serve.

Emperor Chicken

This is the last whole kampung chicken in my fridge. Since dearie Suki is so scared with the bird flu virus, so I decided to cook the last chicken in my fridge. Dig from the freezer and found the chicken and a pack of the Emporer Chicken Seasoning.

This is another easy recipe for the busy mommy like me. You just need to marinate the whole chicken with the seasoning. Preferably overnight. Then wrapped up the chicken with the cling paper and the aluminium foil. After that put into the slow cooker and steam for 4 hours.

The aroma of the chicken is so nice and full with herbal aroma when you opened up the aluminium foil. Hubby Suki just love it.

Stir-Fry Sweet Gourd

Here is another method to cook the sweet gourd. This time I add less water and just stir-fry the sweet gourd with dried prawns. Also added in some tanghoon or glass noodles.

You can obtain the recipes from here. Remember to add less water. Enjoy !

Sweet & Sour Pork

This is my first time cooking the Sweet & Sour Pork or in Chinese we called it Ku Low Yok. Result not too bad la can compare with the restaurant outside leh. I prefer to use minced pork rather than whole piece of pork. My kids love this dish so much and both of them keep asking for more. Me... so happy to see them enjoying my cooking. ( real perasan )
