Avocado Salsa ...谅拌酪梨

Good Tuesday to all my dear friends ^_^
I have been quite or i could said really slacking on blogging lately :p please do excuses me if i have not been dropping by your blog lately or maybe dropping by late. I will try my best to catch up with all the best i can :D

Cook Like a Star is cooking like Nigella Lawson this month. I get to know her through TLC. I love to watch her cooking show and i never miss it. I have four of her books and i am going to cook 1 recipe each from her books ^_^


When i saw this salsa in 'Nigella KITCHEN' i know i am going to make this. I love avocado and this recipe is so simple but it taste fabulous. Smooth avocado flesh and the lime juice that goes so well with it. All you need is get ready those ingredients and just mixed them up and your are salsa-ing away!!


My dear sister gave me a huge local avocado. It measured 16cm long and the 6cm width, huge right?? ^_^


She help me to halves and stone this avocado.


Avocado Salsa
recipe source: adapted from 'Nigella Kitchen' by Nigella Lawson
2 avocados (i used a huge local avocado)
1 spring onion, finely sliced
3 x 15 ml  tablespoons chopped green jalapenos from a jar (i omitted)
salt, to taste
1 x 15 ml tablespoon lime juice
4 x 15 ml tablespoons roughly chopped fresh coriander (i did not add this because it out of stock in my fridge :p)

To do:
  • Halve the avocados, remove the stones and then, using the tip of the sharp knife, cut lines down the flesh of each half, about 1 cm apart, and the same across.
  • Turn the avocado halves inside out, or otherwise  release the pale green cubes into a bowl then tumble in the sliced spring onion, chopped jalapenos, salt to taste, lime juice and most of the coriander and toss, with the tenderest gentleness, to mix.
  • Taste to see more salt is needed before scattering with the remaining coriander and taking to the table.

  1. Hi Doreen,
    Wah, that avocado is huge! I've eaten our local ones, but they are not as big as yours! I love avocado. Your salsa looks good and I would gladly finish the whole plate!
    Regarding your question on the chickpeas, you can use any brand, for the hummus, I use Kimball brand, as that was the only one available at the supermarket near my house.
    Try the hummus, it is really good!
    Thanks for linking!

A Sarawak Cake ~ Cake Hitam ( 砂劳越的蛋糕 ~ 黑美人蛋糕)

Sarawak is famous of its' Steamed Cakes and Layer Cakes (Kek Lapis). Steamed Cakes in Sarawak are mostly steamed for hours. I have done a steamed cake that took me 7 hours to cook. Can you imagine that!!  Crazy me!! I can't believe that i have done it just because i love that particular cake so much. I have tasted the cake in a Malay friend's house while go visiting on a Hari Raya. The name of that Cake is Kek Hati Parek. This Malay friend of mine, she is so so kind to share her recipe to me. This will be share in future.  砂劳越有好几种著名的蛋糕. 其中有千层蛋糕和蒸蛋糕.  我各人很喜欢蒸的蛋糕.  砂劳越的蒸蛋糕通常是需要蒸上2个小时以上.  记得我成蒸过一粒蒸蛋糕用了7个小时. 是不是有点'疯了' 7个小时!! 当时, 真的! 太喜欢那蛋糕了(Hati Parek 蛋糕) . 是在有一年的开斋节拜访一位马来朋友时在她家吃过. 就回味无穷. 跟她要了食谱:D  今天先不谈7个小时的蒸蛋糕, 就留下次吧! In this post i am going to share another Sarawak steamed cake which is very popular in Sarawak. It is Kek Hitam which means Black Cake. This cake is also known as Kek Serikaya (Screwpine custard Cake) or Kek Belacan (Shrimp paste ...

Now in this post i used vanilla whipped cream/Chantilly cream as filling. I love to use dairy whipping cream as filling. Just add adequate of icing sugar/castor sugar to the whipping  cream and whisked it to light and fluffy. Then mix in any flavor that you like into the cream and piped it into the cake. Saw some nice and fresh bluberries in the supermarket, i quickly grab some for decoration :D N...

Ayam Masak Merah ... 香辣红番茄鸡

Ayam Masak Merah  is a Malay dish named Malay Red Cook Chicken.  The red colored comes from the tomato ketchup/puree and chilies.  I know my kids loves tomato and this dish is cooking with tomato ketchup. Oh!! they will love this tasty, yummy Red Cooked Chicken. One thing i am worrying is that, this dish will be spicy so i decide to cook the kids version by reducing the chillies to the lowest amout, that is 1/2 a chilli. The result is wonderful..my kids love..love..love this :) 香辣红番茄鸡, 是道吃过就会爱上的一道佳肴. 它的红是来之红番茄/番茄酱和红辣椒的天然色素. 我家宝贝们爱番茄酱, 我想谁家宝贝不爱呢!! 就想煮这道佳肴给他们尝尝. 可是啊!! 又担心辣, 我要香不要辣..就来个宝贝们的不辣而香的红番茄鸡吧!! :D 真的宝贝们爱吃哦!! 开心:D 看看..买相还不错吧? What do you think of this dish?? Don't you think this red colour is so makes this dish looks so inviting!! Cooking this is no fuss at all. It is simple or maybe you need to blend the shallots, ginger and chillies.  First marinate the chicken ( i used 2 large chicken maryland and i chopped into 2) with turmeric ...
