my little favourite DIY

This is a lovely recipe and i would highly recommend you to give it a try. Just cook it, you will love it! Even my boys love it! The torch ginger flower buds bring a special fragrance to this dish, EXTREMELY FRAGRANT!!   The recipe uses fresh chili and dried chili but i omit the fresh chili and reduce the dried chili to about less then half the amount.This is for my kids version :p (less spicy) If you prefer more spicy just stick to the original recipe.

Saw some leek flower on sell in the local supermarket last week. I grab a pack to cook for dinner. I always love the leek flower, they have got taste, texture, fiber and those cute looking buds are pretty and edible. The leek is a vegetable that belongs, along with the onion and garlic family. The leek flower is actually the Leek scapes or the shoot of the leafless flower stems of the leek plant. Usually the 'flower' is eaten before it blooms.This entire stalk and flower buds are edible and it is delicious. It is like leek flavored asparagus.

My Shawn is a fussy eater. He only takes what he likes. I guess all kids are like that... > <   Shawn likes poultry, seafood and vegetables ( only potatoes, carrots, leek and celery).

I said: 'Its mummy's friend auntie Jessie' Shawn said: 'I like this. Can you cook this for me?' I said: 'Yes, it lovely.. we will cook this' This is a very delicious dish. i have cooked this dish the following day after seeing in Jessie's blog.

When you are having a busy day, why not marinated it overnight and the next day just roast it in the oven. I used 2 chicken maryl...

I have a bad habit of buying lots of ingredient and ended up did not use that ingredient instantly but using another ingredient instead.  Last week i bought a fish 'ikan tongkol' thinking of making 'pulut lepa' but i bought the wrong fish..:p Again this fish goes into the freezer. 贪心的我, 常常会买多几样食材, 而到头来没用的上反而用上其他的. 上星期买了我没吃过的'ikan tongkol' 想做'pulut lepa'. 'Pulut lepa' 是把蒸熟的糯米饭包在香焦叶里而内 馅是鱼松,很像pulut panggang. 但是做不成啦, 因我买错鱼了..:p 只好把鱼收进冰箱再打算吧!! Clearance , clearence ..today i am clearing the stocks in my freezer. I found my 'ikan tongkol' XD  Guess what i am going to cook?? You may have seen my title, of course it is Sambal Tumis Hu. Sambal Tumis in Malay means stir fry sauce and Hu is in hokkien and it means fish. 今天要把冰箱来个大扫除. 才又发现这支快要被遗忘的鱼. 好! 就不浪费, 把它吃了吧! 就来道'酸辣辣椒鱼' 酸酸辣辣又不是很辣,很美味. 有点像配'nasi lemak' 的叁巴. ~ I found this Sambal Tumis Hu recipe in my book of Northern and Southern Nyonya Cuisine..this sambal t...

Fresh coriander or cliantro or chinese parsley is a type of plant that you can use it for cooking or garnishing. The whole plant can be use from the leaves and stems for soup, seeds used as spices, roots used for cooking curry or other dishes. Two kind of people, those who love this plant very much and those who hate it. Just because of the smell of the plant. Some of my friends would say it is 'xiang cai香菜~the fragrant vegetable' and some of them would say it is 'chou cai臭菜~the smelly vegetable'. Anyway, I say is a xiang cai, my family even my kids love it. I misses the Green Curry taste. I came to know this Green Curry when we went for our honeymoon in Melbourne years ago. We stayed at our brother and sister in law's place. My sister in law cook this premix thai green curry for us, this taste was simply delicious. Until now I still misses the taste but I can't find the premix anywhere. I found this recipe from a website, I do some plus and minus and I ...
