After PP3 exemption exam, we gave ourselves a treat and cooked up SATAY! to be eaten together with nasi lemak...
How?
Satay: marinate the chicken breast overnight with satay sauce, grill, eat with satay sauce.
Nasi lemak: rice - cook with santan, ginger, salt.
Fearing that our satay wasn't enough, we also fried some celery to eat together in this weird but nice combo. the cucumber is super nice, as always. and i love de-shelling the eggs.;p
On the next day, we cooked tomyam to be eaten with our rice and fried egg. i love my egg best when it's fried with lots of soy sauce and pepper in the 'lala' style, and left in the hot pan for a while after being cooked to have that little burnt lining at the sides of the egg. yum yum.. like it coz that's the way my grandma used to fry for me when i was still very young. =]
tomyam: boil water, add chicken stock, add meat, onions, cauliflower, carrot.. then add 4-5 big dollops of Mae Ploy Tom Yam Paste. when soup is done, add some tomatoes last, and lots of pepper. are you licking your lips now? hehe.. only if you like spicy stuff i guess.
Due to my excessive love for the fajita spice mix, today we fried spaghetti with fajita spice. first we fried garlic, onions, dried shrimps, sausages (2 types), with some pepper and soy sauce using normal oil and a little of sesame oil. then we added straw mushrooms, spaghetti, the spices, and lastly some lettuce. it tasted like dried curry mee. the spaghetti tasted surprisingly like the yellow mee in malaysia. nice!
I have found the nicest sausages in Glasgow. Bratwurst - recommended by Angeline. not only is it tasty, it doesn't break up into mush when it is cut, unlike all the other types of sausages. it can be bought from Aldi for 1.69pounds for 6 gigantic sausages. worth a try. i think i'll stick to this brand while i'm still here. it's so nice!! it tastes like the meat balls in the pan mee at sri petaling pasar malam.
Who likes ice cream? Ben & Jerry is having promotion, selling each tub for 1.99 pounds. i tried the vanilla one. it's very nice coz it's creamy enough, and is interspersed with cookies and chocolate chips. there's another type, the chocolate ice cream with bits of chocolate fishes, caramel and marshmellows. i'll try that the next time. I'm actually waiting for haagen daz to have promotion. ;p
