Kueteow Goreng

Almost everyday kami makan nasik. So, berbuka semlm cuba goreng kueteow pulak, pakai resepi sendiri...apa rasa nak letak...kita letak...kita yg buat dia kan.....semuanya main taram ikut instinct...kali ni lain sikit dr yg selalu2 goreng. Selalunya aku pakai kerang, kali ni tak letak, malas nk beli masa kat pasar hari tu...lagipun Ifah tak suka kueteow letak kerang padahal itu le yg sedap. Selalunya kalau aku masak kueteow mesti letak daging sebab manis air daging tu buat kueteow goreng sedap, kali ni cuma letak udang, fish ball and fish kek saja, tu pun dah meriah..penuh pinggan.

Yg lain kali ni jugak pasal aku guna fish sauce sebagai penambah perisa, dgn kicap lagi, wargh terasa kelainan ler.. Pas2 buat cili api jeruk kow2 punya pedas.....alhamdulillah kenyang........

Menu Berbuka Hari ke- 9

Semalam, Mummy Mithali ni masak jugak...kenkonon tak mau masak la kanna, tapi still x de feel nak jengah Bazar Ramadhan....end up buat benda2 yg mudah saja...I dont feel like nak makan nasik...lama dah tak masak spagetti...ptg semlm singgah Giant beli barang2 disamping nak cari sandal baru sebab kakiku dah sakit sangat....hari2 lenguh sampai lutut so kena jugak beli new sandal.Untuk berbuka buat Spagetti Bolognaisse tapi kuahnya bukak botol je la...sebab malass nak masak tapi ditambahbaikan la sos botol tu kan sebab saya tak berapa suka makan spagetti yg semata2 tomato...kena ada pedas2 sket almaklumla I ni bukan kelahiran Itali..jadinya kalau dah Melayu tu soheh nak kena makan cabai gak kan...So, I masukkan lah 2 sdb cili kisar masa menumis bwg tu, then tambah lagi straw mushroom sebab I looooooiiikkkeee spagetti yg byk mushroom....source of protein tu... Emph tak pe lah x yah citer panjang tgk la rupa dan gaya spagetti ku itu.......

Punya la tamak kan..almaklumla posa..mau sepeket aku rebus spagetti semlm...makna kata hari ni menu berbuka ku masih lagi spagetti.....but i loikee..tak kesah nak ulang makan pun..kalau hari ni tak puasa soheh aku bawak bekal makan kat ofis.Ni pulak Cucur Keria yg buat masa sahur semalam, dek tak sempat nak siapkan utk berbuka..tapi budak2 and bapak budak ni tak makan pun..sian Mummy...I sorang jek yg makan...sedih2...sebabnya masa p Giant kat SACC Ifah dah beli ketupat palas. Dia ni mmg hantu ketupat palas tapi mahal seh!!!sebijik 90sen wa cakap lu.......hmmm nak makan puas2 tunggu balik Kedah la na..raya thn ni kalau sempat Mummy buat..kalau tak kena tunggu ketupat tok le nampak gayanya.....Mummy pulak teringin serunding ikan...beli jugak la sikit..tapi kalau beli kat Kedah lagi murah...apa nak buat...redha ja la..dah teringin.....nnt boleh buat pulut sambal..hmmm yummy!!!

Pasta Goreng with Crab Meat and Chicken

Pagi ni bangun tersangatlah awalnya- pukul 4pg. Load of house chores kena buat. Since dah bangun awai tu buat la bekal utk budak2 tu sekali. Pasta Goreng yg memang favourite budak2 ni. Tapi resepi kali ni sebenaqnya main masuk saja and masuk hari ni dah 2 kali dimasak sedemikian rupa yg cuma selang sehari saja setelah dapat positive critics dari pengkritik2 tetap yg 2 org tu.
I'm using fusilli, lepas tu panaskan olive oil sikit, then tumis garlics dgn ayam, ayam tu guna chicken breast yg dah marinated since 2 hari lepas utk buat fajitas hari tu, just diced some carrots, then ada crab meat dari lebihan ketam masak black pepper semlm (which tak dak org pun makan, Mummy masak ni kekononnya utk sahur, sudahnya tk jadi posa la pulak semlm), pakai fresh milk sikit plus sedikit pepper dan garam. Lepas tu tabur pulak English Parsley dan finally taburkan parmesan cheese. Wah memang ada kick!!

Kuetiow Sup

Malam tadi teringin nak makan makanan yg ringan dan menyegarkan utk berbuka. Sekali tu teringat la zaman2 study dulu time lunch makan Kuetiow sup kat Jalan Raja Laut. Simple tapi sedap sangat. So, balik office singgah pasaraya beli bebahannya then dlm masa I think 15min kot siap la hidangan berbuka ku itu...tapi malam tadi tak sempat nak ambik pic. So this morning tgk kuah ada balance lagi maybe my husband tak makan la ni (pstt..mlm tadi I tidur punya la cepat- pukul 9 dah dozzed off.. so tak sempat nak sembang dgn sesapa), panaskan and taddaaaa jadilah my breakfast for today (sapa2 pun tak mau dah..so ni kes nak perabih la ni..sayang nak buang kanna) Gambaq pun tak dak la cun sgt.

Laksa Telok Kechai- simply SYIOKKK!!!

I know most of us loves laksa- whether you're Chinese or Malay, Indian or even foreigner. Laksa is among Malaysia's signature food. Its simple and yummy. I think Malaysia is the only country with a variety of laksa to choose from. Different states have their very own definition of laksa. Laksa is a kind of noodles served with gravy-

Types of Laksa:

1. Laksa Penang- originated from Penang serves with shredded pineapples and mints leaves

2. Laksa Kedah- originated from Kedah; the authentic laksa Kedah will be served with sambal nyiok (coconut)

3. Laksa Kuala Perlis- the gravy made of eel instead of fish

4. Laksa Lemak- famous among Pattanis- famous among those who have ancestors from Thailand (my grandparents loved this kind of laksa; they not really prefer Laksa Kedah/ Assam Laksa, made of fish ang use fish curry paste)

5. Laksa Terengganu- the gravy made of fish and coconut milk, but they will served with belacan, chili paste and salt)

6. Laksa Nyonya- have 2 varieties- one is Assam Laksa; made from Sardines and another one with coconut gravvy, usually they will use vermicelli instead oh laksa noodles

7. Laksam- Kelantanese style of laksa, but the noodle is different served with coconut gravy with fish, black pepper, beansprout, long beans, ginger flower and sambal belacan.

8. Laksa Sarawak- thick gravy with different taste, chocolatey in colour

9. Laksa Johor- use spagetti as its noodles and the gravy mix of chocolatey and redly coloured as it use chilli paste and curry spice, served with long beans, daun kesum, ginger flower, sliced onions etc.

So, what I would like to show off is- Laksa Kedah. The authentic laksa Kedah can be found only in Jalan Kuala Kedah, specifically in the Telok Kechai area (if from Alor Setar, its on the right side of the road just after Jabatan Pertanian Telok Kechai) there's a lot of people stop by the restaurant; u can take away or eat in. Its famous name is Laksa Telok Kechai. If u eager to know the taste, just give ur self a try. memang sedap. The noodles and gravy are all homemade. What makes it different from other is the Sambal Nyiok (sambal Kelapa). Hmmmm soooooo yummylicious. If u wish to go to Langkawi using Kuala Kedah Jetty then u will passby the restaurants- Kedai Laksa Pak Din and another one is Kedai Laksa Zakaria (they're just side by side) Please give urself a try...

Penne with Chicken & Asparagus

Malam tadi mmg takdak idea nak masak. Bila tanya Ifah nak pasta lagi. Hmm..nak masak pasta apa ni hah..bosan la balik2 buat yg sama jek. Godek punya godek kat rak buku aku tu, terjumpa la sebundle resepi pasta dr Magazine Women's Weekly. Ada satu yg mengusik jiwa dan yg cukup bahan2nya..tapi bila dok belek p belek mai, ishh macam tak best la pulak. Then I make a U turn then modified la dia punya resepi mengikut selera anak2ku.

Supposed n3 ni semlm punya tp streamyx punya pasal ada delay sket ok..that's pur dinner last 2 nites, Penne with Chicken & Asparagus. Hmm..layan gitu2 je lah..x best la Penne ni besar ngat n hollow inside, Ifah pun x prefer sgt tp since nk mengabihkan stok mummy guna kuasa VETO paksa dia makan...Sorry anakku..Above was mummy's serving. The Pasta + homemade wedges + choc walnut brownies versi cuppie. Mummy nak rasa cemana brownie tu coz dok tgk Sophie dah makan 3 ketul dah..Bila tanya Ifah dia kata sedap (kan ke dia bawak p sekolah paginya) Sophie pun ckp best, and ternyata not too sweet la..just fine to my taste bud.

5. Kayu Rol -Pembaris -Ruler
and so on, so on.

Copy paste dari apa yg mak penah masak tapi rasanya maybe berbeza. Agak2nya if abahku itu merasa, dia suka kot.But this time amat kurang pedas, and lebih udg kering. Udg. kering bukan sebarang udang, tapi udang yg depa keringkan kat Tanjong Dawai tapi juai kat market spg. Kola, kt kpg ku la tu, besaq2 oo..syok sungguh..sapa mau order???hehehhe..kat sini mana nak cari besor2 cenggitu..nak kena p sabak bernam baru buleh dpt.

* Blend kesemua di atas
Sedikit kicap, garam.
2 keping bihun kering- di rendam
any seafood you wish to put
Fish ball
Tauhu- digoreng 1/2 masak
Sawi
Taugeh

Cara2:
1. Tumis bhn2 yg diblend.
2. Dah wangi dan garing masukkan seafood n fish ball, garam, kalau suka 1/2 kiub ayam, dash of kicap.
3. Masukkan batang sawi, dah layu sikit masukkan mihun.
4. Seratakan kemudian masukkan daun sawi n taugeh.
5. Dah sedap tu, tutup api then hias dgn daun bawang, bwg. goreng, tauhu goreng di potong kiub dan sedikit keropok sayur plus sambal kicap.
6. Bancuh le air oren ke, ribena ke..mesti syok.
Resepi diatas amat cukup utk 2 Adult, 2 Children.
