Supper Treat after Exam Stress

What would u think of right after exam? It would definitely be a good feast after a long suffering.
We headed down to Asia Cafe for supper after collecting the webcam from Pyramid.
Since Mel+Sweesan have not tried eating there at night, i was the guide of the night; the leader of the night for JustHeavenly Crew.

We ordered Fried Mushroom coz the fried mushroom there was super nice. Its very crispy even when its cooled. The sour and spicy sauce dip was good as well. Have a look at the Fried Mushroom below. The picture was not so clear because i was using phone's camera.


Since the uncle selling the Tako Ball was concentrating so hard when making those yummy Takoballs, we decided to order Takoballs too. They have very nice packaging. The box was kinda cute actually; with the squid shaped hole on the box.




These are the tako balls in the box; there are a few different fillings in the takoballs

Also, not forgetting my favourite 'Taufu Bakar'. Its damn nice. The 'Taufu' is very crispy and the sauce is not too watery. You should really try this out! This is way better than the one from Pasar Malam.

*Feel fat after supper-ing* but of coz, no regrets!

18th-20th Century

This entry was suppose to be up a long time ago...but due to my laziness..there has been delay..so here it is...
another execellent makan place in Taman Tun (TTDI)..18th - 20th Century...




altho d interior looks alil like those of d kopitiams,u've to see it to feel it...

we ordered a couple of really sumptious food from the set lunch menu..to begin with the set lunch has about 10 choices of main course with appetizers, drink n dessert..even before we start,
we had to crack our brain to select our choice as all d name of the dishes were equally tempting.

hail the dishes...

1st..the appetizers..altho they came in pretty small portion on big plates..they practically justify
themselves with your first bite..if that make sense to you..haha



fried wanton


fried spring roll...yum yum..

d drink of d day was syrup with cincau..credits given cos d taste was just nice..not too sweet..




main dish everyone...


spicy seafood spagethi...



me n a couple of other colleagues ordered this dish...omg its jus so yummylicious...even when i think of it now..im about to drool..the seafood..were juicy prawns, sum fish fillets n sotong..
d sauce is superbly creamy..i could have clean up the entire plate spotless clean..haha..but d
tiny bit of disappoinment may have been d spicy part..altho d name suggest it to be a spicy meal
it certainly lack the spiceness..so there goes the oomph...



pad thai kuey teow...

i think it meant pattaya kuey teow..din really tasted it..but colleague says that its equally mouthwatering...haha..n d kuey teow is fried with peanuts..alil..interesting...

last came the dessert..which we din quite expected...haha


vanilla ice cream on brownie...

simply brilliant to end our mini feast..haha..we left the place with a very satisfied appetite n we did
not burn a hole in our pocket when we paid the bill..its fun to have a great deal of a set lunch which
cost below 20bucks..definitely worth trying..haha..

in short d set lunch come in quite a variety..fusion of eastern n western food in short..my colleagues told me that the set lunch here is definitely a good catch..cos d ala carte dishes they serve during the nite mayb alil pricy..

went to the past..back to the future wit a full tummy...haha

carbonara II


i attempted on making carbonara again

i woke up pretty early the other day .. like .. 730am

but i had brunch at 10 something
so.. i decided to make omelette since i have the stuffs

but i tot.. this is not filling enough, so i decided to make a small portion of carbonara

i used spirals this time

carbonara



i just used my instinct while cooking the carbonara.. like .. no measurement or no recipe or no nothing .. i just ... put in what i think it should be in and should taste like.. :P

i boiled the pasta till it's done..

then i sautee the mushrooms and sausages .. then i add in pasta
then i pour in milk.. waited like maybe .. 1 minute for it to simmer abit.. then i added grated cheese to make the sauce like thick n sticky
added black pepper for taste..
then stir n stir till i think it's done.. ahahha

and yeah.. my .. it tasted good !!
sorry i'm not bragging but it does taste good and nicer than my first attempt .. because i did not use eggs this time :P

cheers :)

Restaurant Joo Bee @ Sekinchan


hey if u ask me where exactly Sekinchan is, i dont know because for all i know it's near kuala selangor, from klang town, u turn in to Kapar road.. then go straight .. pass a dozen of mosques and a million traffic lights.. then u reach a paddy field area.. then that's sekinchan.. haha..

(ok.. not that good in geography anyway..)

so this restaurant joo bee... (lets call it Joo Bee). my dad hired them to cook the wedding banquet during my sister's wedding years back .. it's cheap, delicious and.. cheap..

the journey there was rather uneasy.. (taht's because of the people sitting in it..)anyway, it's suppose to be a 1 1/2 hour journey ride only. but because there's malay town along.. so somehow it was kinda jam.. so we took like.. about 2 - 2 1/2 hours to reach that freaking place..

paddy field







this is the paddy fiel i'm tlaking about.. it seems like acres n acres n acres of it... never ending!! so it was only green, then blue n white.. such a nice scenary ...
so when u're here ... u're almost at sekinchan already ...

nice ain't it ??




joo bee

there were 10 of us.. no.. 11.. 9 adults, 1 kid and 1 baby

we ordered like .. 8 dishes !! mostly seafood...
first up

fried prawn
fried prawn with sweet and sour sauce,(above) and green vegetables with cashewnutvegetable

steam fish
steam fish with lemon grass n preserved vegetables (above) and claypot eelseel

crab
Huey Jim (in hokkien) it's a type of crab.. well .. direct translation would be flower crab.. i dont know what's the exact word for it ...

salted chicken
salted chicken (above) and butter mantis prawn
mantis prawn


there's another dish of eel, but i forgot to take the picture.. hehe
but it was called "kung pou eel"

my .. the food was brilliant!!! everything was goood ...till the end.. ahhaa
and it only came up to RM170 ...
cheap right !??!!?

the journey was like damn fat but it was worth the trip :P

then on the way back we stopped by at the road side to buy some mangoes n corns

so i couldnt resist taking more pictures of the paddy field.. i mean.. how often do u see a paddy field when u're not staying in Kedah or what ... more over a GREEN paddy field..



kids fishing at the small river next to the paddy field (i love this photo)

paddy field
beeaauuutifuuuuullll


this was nearer to the main road, so there were a few kampung houses


well.. signing off ,

Banana Walnut basic muffins


i think i'm starting to get addicted to cupcakes / muffins..
i find them cute and the baking time is shorter...

this ones very easy and simple to make.. there isnt much ingredients.. just the basic ones..
i did not make the topping for it... but i included the recipe n ingredients for the topping so that u can make it if u want. :)



well anyway here's the recipe first..


2 cups (300g) self-raising flour
1cup (150g) plain flour
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
1 cup (200g) firmly packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups (375ml) milk
3/4 cup (180ml) vegetable oil

1 cup mashed overripe banana
1 cup (120g) finely chopped walnuts

Topping
1/4 cup(50h) firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 cup (35g) plain flour
40g butter

banana walnut muffin



Preheat oven to moderately hot (180-190 C). Grease muffin pans.
Sift dry ingredients into large bowl, stir in combined eggs, milk and oil.
Stir banana and half of the walnuts into the muffin mixture. Sprinkle muffins with remaining walnuts and topping.
For topping, combine sugar and flour in small bowl; rub in butter
Bake in moderately hot oven about 20 minutes

Makes: 30 (depending on size of muffin cups..)


i did not make the topping.. so i just added icing sugar ontop ...
and one of them came up VERY HIGH . eheheh
see.. compared to the others..hahaha..


next time u can roast the walnut first before adding it to the mixture.. just like cook it with a lil butter or something... i think with choco chips .. would be perfect.. hahahahaha

(anything with chocolate will be nice.. haha)

this recipe is super easy!!! and if u wanna substitute the banana walnut mixture to something else..
u can add apple with cinnamon ...
or blueberry.. as u wish.. hehehe ...
