Mee Hoon Goreng Tomyam


Okaylah.  Hari-hari sarapan makanan frozen pun jemu jugak kan.  Walaupun sedap macam mana sekali pun makanan dingin beku tu dan jenama terkenal mana sekali pun, masih tetap sedap makanan yang sediakan sendiri di rumah.

Jadi oleh kerana hari ini hari Ahad dan hari cuti, kita masak Mee Hoon goreng tomyam.  Tak kan hari cuti pun nak makan sarapan makanan dingin beku kan?  Walaupun masakan ini dah ramai orang tahu memasaknya, tak kisah lah.  Untuk kali ini kita guna lebih kurang sebanyak 400 gm mee hoon (setelah direndam) yang jenamanya nama seorang wanita tu!  Sayur tak ada dalam fridge, jadi kita guna lobak merah yang dihiris.

250 gm isi ayam, dihiris nipis
3 ulas bawang putih - kisar
3 ulas bawang merah - kisar
4 sudu besar minyak masak
1/2 sudu teh serbuk lada putih
2 sudu besar pes tomyam (juga ada gambar wanita!)
2 helai daun limau purut muda, dihiris halus
Garam gula untuk perasa

Panaskan minyak dalam kuali.  Tumis bawang putih dan bawang merah.  Bila wangi masukkan ayam.  Bila ayam dah separuh masak, masukkan pes tomyam.  Kacau sehingga ayam betul-betul masak.  Kalau kering, masukkan sedikit air.  Masukkan lobak merah, lada putih dan perasa.  Masukkan mee hoon dan gaul rata.  Sebelum angkat, gaulkan daun limau purut.  

Nota :  Mee hoon ini tidak memerlukan banyak air sebab ia cepat kembang.😊

Avocado and Corn Salad


This is yet another avocado based salad I have prepared for my lunch today.  As usual Fridays at the office are long and dreary, so I really need something to perk me up and food is definitely one of those perks.

Tart Jepun / Maids of Honor

Star Q



We have this nine year old girl who lives right next door to us with her family which consists of her parents and three other siblings.  My wife has been taking care of her ever since she was three months old.  We have grown quite fond of her and she in return, until now, continues to call us ayah and ibu (mum and dad)

Korean Fried Chicken / Ayam Goreng Korea

Star Q



Ever since the influx of several cooking programmes on television highlighting Korean dishes,  I must admit that I am more than intrigued by the popularity generated through them.  Plus, the fact that my kids have had the chance to sample some Korean dishes, added to the excitement to know what the buzz was all about.

Ayam Cocoh

Star Q



My duty was to fetch our daughter who was coming home for the first time after her registration in one of the local universities.  It did not matter that it had only been slightly more than a week since then, or the fact that I had to wait for about one hour and fifteen minutes for her commuter train to arrive at the station.  I was just happy she was coming home.

Lasagna Bianca

Star Q



Our son and his wife usually comes home every fortnight, but due to some unforeseen circumstances, both of them were unable to keep up with that schedule.  Thus, after what seems like months, they finally had the opportunity to come home after four weeks.

Cranberry Cheese Cake

Star Q



I am one of those weekend bakers who most of the time like to try something new; once in a while.  I have always watched my kids snacking on dried cranberries but have personally never developed the urge or interest to sample a few.
