Dinner

 

Finally the school gonna re-open tmr after 1 wk break for the PSLE test paper marking day. Its a very slow & quiet wkend. Well I have decided to cook a simple chicken rice. Experimenting with some of the spices for the fried chicken. I was thinking to make white chicken to go along with the chilli dipping & rice.. However Im planning to cook this dish for 2 days. So I settled down with simple fried chicken. In my ingredients there will be no exact measure as its all thrown in spices.. or what I called it masak campak-campak.

Chicken Rice

Rice
Shallots
Ginger
Garlic
2-3 pandan leaves
Chicken broth/granulas/cubes
Salt to taste


Simple Fried Chicken

Chicken Wings (you can use any chicken parts
Sesame Oil
Sweet soya sauce
Coriander powder (you can pound the whole
Cumin powder (you can pound the whole
Tumeric powder
Salt to taste
Black pepper

Chilli Dippings

2-3 tbsps Chilli boh/paste ( you can replacew with deseeded fresh chillies)
Juice from the limau kasturi (you can subtitute it with lemon juice)
Salt to taste
Sugar
Chicken broth

Methods:

- Wash the rice till it runs clear water.

- Heat up the rice cooker pot with a lil cooking oil, fry the blended items till its fragnant. Add in the granulas or cubes together with the pandan leaves. Fry for a few mins. Add in the washed rice in & fry for a few mins before pouring the water or the chicken broth

- Cook the rice as you cook normal rice however you need to increase the water a lil more.

For the chicken

Marinate the chicken parts with all the ingredients for atleast for an hr or more. Fry it till golden brown before serving it with the popping hot cooked rice.

Chilli Dippings

Mix all the ingredients in a small bowl. As for the consistency, it depends how diluted you want it to be. As for the sugar level, it depends on your taste bud and it shudnt be too sweet either. The sauce should have a balance taste of spiciness, sourish & sweetness.

Serve the chicken rice either popping hot or room temperature.

ps: I'm upload the picture as I have problem with my picture uploader. I will try to upload it again later.

Lunch @ Popeye, Century

Been hearing tht Popeye name quite often. The chicken is good, the mashed is heaven, serving is worthy compared with KFC. However the location are too far for me to travel. Matter of fact Singapore is not a big country. As far I know dat they have outlets at Changi Airport & Singapore Flyer.. Lately I get to know tht they have open any outlet at Century Sq, Tampines.

Without any plans for the day, I decided to bring my daughter out for our late lunch. We rch there around 3.30pm yest noon. It was so crowded. But of course its bigger than the KFC, BK & Mc. But too bad, I hate those long queues.

I was just wondering what should I order for both of us since its our first time beside whipped potato a must try thingy. I have order 1 kid's meal which consists of a drumlet, a biscuit, a drink & a mash potato whereas mine was the maxi meal which consists of the 1 drumlets, chicken tenders, chicken small drumlets, mashed potato, biscuit & drink. It cost us abt $15 ++

Honestly, I would recommend the heavenly mashed potato to those who loving it. Its the best compared with KFC or Arnold. I can taste the spicyness & the chicken bits. Its totally something new & interesting to my taste buds. Im sure this is gonna be my all time favs.. I even packed 2 large whipped potatoes & 2 cheesecakes for our dinner.

my beloved mom

Hi all...

Finally I'm back in here after ages. The reason of my disappearance due to my late mom have passed away last mth. Today is the 1st mth after she passed away. I'm totally shocked & lost when I found out she have left all off us. I tried picking up myself slowly. And being a sister & mother to my 23yrs old brother is not tht easy especially after wht we have gone thru. However alhamdullillah I've manage to pull through slowly with the moral support given by my aunties, cousins & my husband.

I will always missed my late mom. She is the best mother in the whole world. Nothing can describe for those moments, advise that she have given us. I will always pray that she will always be happy wherever she is. I will do my best to give/do anything to brighten her soul. Insyallah.

1st Ramadhan Dinner

Finally I'm able to rest after putting my daughter to sleep. Alhamdullillah I have manage to pull through tho my gastric have been acting up again.

Its been tuff when comes to selecting food especially when comes to breaking fast. Thts when you starting to crave for all sorts of food after fasting for the whole day eg myself, Im craving for cold coke.. :p Honestly I have few ideas for today menu eg chicken pie, mee bandung etc. Well I have decided to browse around at blogspot & decided to pay a visit to Mat Gebu site. Thks to his numerous foodie choice. I have decided to try out his Mee Udang Tomato. It looks appetizing matter of fact it is delicious. My other half & daughter loves it. They thot its Mee Bandung.

But to those who into spicy food, they will need to add more chili paste as this is not spicy @ all. Well let look into the recipe from Mat Gebu .



Prawn Tomato Noodle (Mee Udang Tomato)

Ingredients:

Yellow noodle, blanch it for 30sec (I added rice noodle as an additional)

300g medium size prawns

1 pkt of fish balls (not in the actual recipe)

3 whole potatoes (250g), boil & mash it

¾ cup tomato sauce ( I used ½ cup)

1 1/2 tbsp chilli sauce ( I add 1 tbsp more)

1 tbsp oyster sauce

1 tbsp brown sugar (I used normal sugar)

2 cubes of chicken stock/1 litre chicken stock

1 ½ tbsp chili paste (I add 2 tbsp)

Salt to taste

5 eggs (depends on how many ppl)

2 handful of chinese white stem veg ( I use mustard leaves)

To be blended:

2 red onions

3 cloves garlic

1 thin slice of ginger

3 tbsp dried small shrimp, soak for 10mins & drain it

Garnishing:

Spring onions

Fried shallots

Beancurd, fry & slice (omitted in my dish)

Directions:

Heat the wok & fry the blended paste till fragrant. Then throw in the chili paste & fry till the oil pools around it. Add in the oyster sauce, tomato sauce, chili sauce & mix well. Cook them for a abt 5-10mins then add in the chicken stock & bring it to boil. Once its boiling, add in the mash potatoes, salt & sugar. Bring it to boil again.

How to serve the noodle:

Heat another wok with the amt of gravy for individual needs & bring it to boil. Add in the prawn & veggie. Once its cooked, break 1 egg & let it cook for a few mins. Its depends how do you prefer your egg in the noodle.

Fill in an empty boil with the amt of noodles that you wan before you pour the hot gravy on top of it. Garnish it with spring onions & fried shallots.

Note: If you love spiciness, you can add more chili paste. Mash potatoes acts like a thickening agent instead of using corn flour. As for the veggies, it depends on individual preferences.

What a day...

Wah .... now im back home after a long day... Had a kinda boring tiring day whereas I have spent my whole noon in the office facebooking.. :p

I have no idea why that its been very tiring for me lately. Been trying to sleep pretty early but it simply doesnt work.. Hmmm I wonder why & wonder how... Kinda familiar with tht statement..

Anyway..I have manage to help my mom checking out some stuff which turn out not in her favour. She kinda unhappy abt it. I think she must be sulking abt it. Well I will try my luck again.

I have something to confess. I know that I have been bad & not diligent abt updating my blogspot. Blame it on my tiredness. I have snapped numbers of my foodie pics unfortunately its been sitting in my mobile phone memory. I will try to get it upload in there asap. Sorry for all the inconvenience.

I gtg now.. its 10.33pm off to bed. trying to sleep early before my other half does.

Nite to all.. huggies..

Ramadhan...
