ayam masak kunyit

been keeping this entry for week now. sorry everyone! hihih. ok, ok. ayam masak kunyit is my favourite since my days of Diploma in Penang years ago. friend of mine introduced this to me because i thought it look so appetizing, and i asked what name it was. ever since that day, i've been ordering this dish each time i go to eat to any Malay stalls. yesterday, i tried making this again at home using my own version. my mother used to make them too, and me myself used to make it. but, too bad, each time, they didn't taste as good as like the one i ate at stalls. but, i thought it wasn't that bad either..hihihihi.

masak lemak cendawan kukur

have you guys ever heard of cendawan kukur? this is one of my favourite childhood dishes. i still remember when i was still in primary school, my grandmother often went to morning market somewhere at Beranang to buy fresh groceries and there's always one makcik selling this cendawan at one corner. sometimes my grandmother would buy and cook them masak lemak cili padi. being a child, i don't really into such exotic food then. but, when i grow up, i always wanted to eat this mushroom. too bad, these days, it's really hard to get this mushroom anywhere even at my hometown market. the reason is, this mushroom usually grow on decayed rubber tree. so, it would take sometime to wait for these mushrooms to grow and hand-pick them. today, rubber tree usually doesn't have time to be decayed or left on ground just like that because people would take and turn them into furniture. that is why, these mushrooms is very difficult to find. today, my mother went to Selayang Pasar Borong to buy fresh groceries early at dawn and guess what, she brought back a plastic of cendawan kukur!!! she said this is the last plate she could get. this cendawan kukur must be cooked straight away on the day you bought it or else, it would turn withered. then, it must be soaked to remove all the dirty particles and only then we can cook it.

forgot to snap pictures and when i went to the kitchen they already inside my mother's wok ready to be cooked.

tadaaaaaa....it's soooo good. bye bye cendawan kukur. meet you again, in ___ years! sob..sob

Penang Nyonya again

last friday, again, we went to Penang Nyonya at Subang Parade to have our weekly dinner. been here before, you can click here. for this time, we ordered Kampung Style Fried Rice, Penang Char Kuew Tiew, Roti Jala & Pai Tee. yeah, sorry, we had such a big appetite.

Pai Tee. it's soooo goood. i think it would be better if they put mince meat/prawn inside.

Char Kuew Tiew. it's not like the original Char Kuew Tiew i used to eat in Penang for 3 years. still, it is good in its own way

Kampung Style Fried Rice. it's goooood. not too salty not too plain not too oily. full of stuffs in it.

Ikea restaurant

went to Ikea today. been to Ikea few times but we usually never dine there because it is normally full of people and today, we thought to give it a try because we wanted to continue our shopping later. stopped browsing stuffs because our stomach already growled and when we reached the restaurant, it was hell such a long~~~~~~~ queue there because clock is nearly 12pm. but, it was not bad of waiting because bb and i queued up together, so we killed our time chatted well, and of course by staring at others' tray trolleys too before deciding what to eat. hihi. so....these are what we ordered. sorry, if these pictures appear to you like we were never eaten for days. haha. our bad ;p

our trolley: complete meal with appetizer, main course & dessert

love this chicken wing!!!

the famous Ikea's meatballs. it's gooooooood. too bad, can't finish them though. (note: i ordered the largest portion XD)

bb's turkey sausages, it's quite salty i thought. but i love their gravy!

the famous Daim cake. yes, it is goood. thought of taking 2 plates and lucky we did not because this one slice already too rich & fully. *tamak* :P

our dish. are they really for two persons?????? haha

bb's trying out his first time ever beet root. and well, he didn't like it :P

oh.....focus :B i left 4 meatballs behind. too full :(

empty plates. exclude mine please. what a waste ;P

happy faces. i hate the fact that i'm getting chubbier @@

Old Klang Station

ok....again, no updates. since i've started working, i've been busy though and not going anywhere much. during weekends, bb is working and left me no one to going out with to explore new restaurants or doing any food adventure (adventure la sangat!).

ok, yesterday, after visiting Pia's father at HUKM, i planned to drop by at bb's house to meet his newly born niece, Bella. i've visited Kak Long, his sister at Prince Court before but i didn't have a chance to meet her baby last time. so, we stopped at Giant first to buy some things and bb bought some groceries which his mother asked him.

we had our lunch there at the cafe, or kopitiam i must say called "Old Klang Station". the menus are just the same with other kopitiams, nothing differs. we had Fried Noodles, Fried Rice, half-boiled eggs (that would be mine! heee) and chocolate drinks. what i can say is, the taste just like any other kopitiam. i've found that the Fried Rice is a bit salty for me. Fried Noodles is ok, but i prefer PakLi's because they're spicier.

Kampung Style Fried Rice

Half-boiled eggs - A Must!!

Fried Noodles. just ok.

it's ice cream time!

outing with my mother, she would always go to Baskin Robbins to have a scoop or two of ice cream there. so..i just agreed (for sure lah kan???!) when she asking my opinion whether to go there or not. haha. so, we had these two. raibow sherbet and mango tango flavoured. yummmmyiahhh!


*looking forward to go to Haagen Dazs cafe.

Beriyani

working life means, i have to allocate some money for my breakfast, lunch and tea time. i don't know why, but since i started working, i eat like a bear. i feel hungry in the morning, looking forward for lunch and stomach growled in the evening.

last week on wednesday, my colleagues went to mamak's restaurant called Insaf at Jalan TAR to have Beriyani rice. they said Beriyani here is delicious. well, after eating it (not even finish it), i don't think it's good enough. their chicken with honey gravy were prepared too simple. i felt like it just a fried chicken covered with honey. nothing artful eating it. haih~ what i can say is, i would definitely do not want to go here again. eating this Beriyani makes me miss Batu Pahat Beriyani :(
