Teochew Steamed Fish

Fish and steaming? Honestly, I wish I can do it often, but no (Hong Kong Style Steamed Fish). Not in my Indian house. Can't be regularly, I won't mind actually, but not for my Indian half-half and also, when we talk about fish and steaming, all of us must meal together. You can't steam fish and then pinch in and then leave the balance for the rest? Not to say you can't, but not a pleasant sight and you know right how it will be? Somehow the whole thing to steaming and fish must be something you tuck into right away? Of course, unless we are talking about other styles to cooking fish? Those we can cook ahead and tuck into when we feel like (Asam Pedas Ikan Bawal & Chilli Lime Fish). But as far as I know, Chinese dishes on the whole must be eaten once they are cooked. That's why Chinese people cook twice a day unlike us Indians who generally cook once and we can tuck into the same food for dinner (Kailan Oyster Sauce). For the Chinese, there is no such a thing as keeping the leftovers, unless maybe if you are not particular (Chinese Winter Melon Soup, Egg Foo Young, Chinese Fried Rice, Yong Tau Foo, Chow Mein & Tea Eggs). This Teochew Steamed Fish on this particular day? For a change for our dinner for the both of us. Actually, come to think of it, my other half-half didn't mind. Teochew Steamed Fish kicking in the big, bold and punchy tastes. Spiciness of course as usual, is not only his favorite, mine as well.

Malaysian Sodhi (Indian Coconut Milk Stew)

Sodhi. Coconut milk infused and laced ( Shrimp Coconut Milk ) Indian coconut stew. In fact, sodhi is the branching of Masak Lemak ( Vegetarian Malay Spinach Coconut Stew ), or vice-versa or whichever. Sodhi is definitely a popularity amongst the Indians and without a doubt, in my house as well. Sodhi is usually drenched over rice, and eaten alongside side dishes. Trust me, nothing like sodhi soaking or flooding up your rice and then, using your hands for mushy-mushy diving inside eating style. Sodhi. Like, every once a week in my house. In other words, a regularity and it is a dish that can be put up effortlessly. Needless to say, easy cooking and mind you, there are other variances of sodhi too, which I have already shared before ( Malu Kirata , Kiri Hodi , Prawn Sodhi & Cabbage Sodhi ). This latest sodhi? Basically, the humble, basic simplicity, but why a Malaysian Sodhi? Well, Cooked by this “The Crazy Lover” who is a typical, true and true Malaysian, and cooked in her, most o

Mochakottai Karuvadu Kulumbu (Field Beans Salted Fish Curry)

Look at this earthen pot and in it thick, salty, spicy and vibrantly exciting to our palates and eyes Mochakottai Karuvadu Kulumbu (Field Beans Salted Fish Curry). Like immediately can trigger our hunger throne right? I know. I am definitely a big fan of this Indian style salted fish curry and salted fish on the whole by itself ( Spicy Ikan Bilis Potato , Sambal Tumis Ikan Bilis & Sambal Kentang Ikan Asin ), can drive me crazy because I so love saltiness. In fact, every day can be a salted fish meal day for me ( Salted Fish Pickle , Bean Sprouts Salted Fish & Steamed Pork Salted Fish ). But, I think we all know it? Too much of saltiness and salt can ruin our health? Of course. Then again, there is such a thing as every now and then saltiness as our best friend? How do make this salted fish curry? Nothing much, no major confusing cooking matter ( Salted Fish Bone Curry ). My recipes as always will never cause you to struggle in the kitchen. Ingredients listed below

Restoran Orkid Thai - Section 9, Shah Alam

By the third day, Iphone 7 started showing its dark side. Really a terrifying-horrible shocking discovery, it kept rebooting every now and then for no apparent reason. Obviously, I couldn’t believe my eyes. Duh! Its a brand new phone I paid from my savings ( Da De Bak Kut Teh Subang Jaya ), never ever have I encountered such a problem with my previous faithfully yours 6 year old Iphone 5. Absolutely heart wracking, I really couldn’t find the time ( Karaikudi Chicken Curry & Fikcles Cafe Taman Tun ) to rush to the service centre amidst the busyness of getting ready for the family wedding and another travel venture ( Oats Fried Prawn s ). Keeping my fingers crossed, hoping it’s just a minor teething problem, I went ahead with shopping nearby Plaza Shah Alam and Plaza Masalam. Accompanied by my niece, we bought a couple of things and then of course, naturally, shopping is more or less regarded as synonymous with hunger throne.
