Oven bake chicken wing

Oven baked chicken wings for tea time. No wonder I can't shed off my fatty flabby tummy. Fml

Anyway, this is seriously delicious man! And this is the 3rd time I made it. No recipe or whatsoever. All ingredients put in just according to 'feeling'. Haha.... "mmmm, today I feel like putting in salt, pepper, sugar, teriyaki sauce, soya sauce and garlic oil". I marinade it for 2 days in the fridge. Not that it needed that long time but I kinda forgot about it after I chunk it in fridge. Talking about memory lost eh?

Anyway, ....

Back to the chicken wing ;)

Pre heat oven to 150C, coat with some corn flour before putting it in the oven and bake for about 1h to 1h30m.

After it done, drizzle some honey on top and eat while it still warm.

Silly thing I did

I love sushi but I don't eat sashimi. Be it salmon,  tuna, octopus, squid or anything that is raw. It just feel weird to me munching on a bunch of cold uncooked sea-creatures.

So, the other day, jk's friend said he got some delivery for us (or for me to be exact because jk don't like Japanese food). So I thought "oh yeah! Sushi!!"

The moment I saw that plastic container with a row of sushi in it. I was like "hah!! Eeeeee!" Why? Because everything in there is raw. Gahhhh........

I can't throw it away. Wasting ma....just think about all kids in Africa who don't anything to eat. So, I pan-fried them. Hahaha.....

All cooked and I ate them. Not really nice though and it tastes weird. Well, I guess they were supposed to be eaten raw, not pan-fried! :)

Food in Bentong (Homecook) - part 2

Part one is here

Holiday in bentong just mean one thing and that is FOOD! I or rather we (me and Caleb) were stuffed with good foods everyday and I think both of us putting on some weight. My mom's favourite question of the day: "What you want to eat today?" lol. Ain't I lucky?

Anyway, here are some food pictures that I managed to capture. Most of the time I need to glup down as fast as I can because my mom is helping me look after Caven while me and Caleb eat. So, after we're done, only then my mom could eat. She always the one who eat last, all the time. <3>

Fried banana fritter with ice cream. My tea time.....love it! My all time favourite. Anything with banana won me over upside down.

This is Cheah's family (aka my mom's side) recipe for dry-curry prawn. It's a hand-me-down recipe from my maternal grandmother and every siblings in the family know how to cook this dish. Spicy, fragrant and so delicious especially with hot white rice.

Spring rolls with minced pork, chopped prawn black fungus, carrots, mushroom and corrinder leaves. Mixed all together, seasoned with salt, pepper, soy sauce and sesame oil. Rolled up in beancurd sheet, deep fried it and voila....these yummy cute little rascal.

Minced pork, prawn, carrot, black fungus, mushrooms and corinder leaves. 

Next up. Bubur cha-cha.

Bubur cha-cha is a sweet dessert made of coconut milk and gula melaka with diamond-shaped yam, sweet potatoes, tapioca flour jelly-like and bananas! Mom said that this bubur cha-cha origin from Penang Nyoya food because there's banana in there. With the banana, I've got to say that it's an excellent combination and leave a kick in my tastebud. You'd find me looking for banana chunks in that pot of bubur cha cha, all the time :)

This purplish color of bubur cha cha is due to dark purple sweet potatoes. It does look a little scary right?

Mom's dumpling. Every year my mom made her own dumplings (bak chang) and trust me if I say my mom make the most delicious kick-ass bak chang. I grew up eating her bak chang and only her bak chang thou I'm not a fan of glutinious rice. It makes me heartburn all the time, wtf. She uses the simplest ingredients which are mushrooms, half-fat pork belly, dried shrimps and yellow bean (not sure what's the name) but she seasoned and stir-fried everyone of them separately. Nice, very nice.....

Cha siew pau - left (BBQ pork steam bun) and tau sah pau - right (red bean bun). My mom can whip this out in 30 minutes as she always have spare red bean paste and cha siew filling in the fridge.

Caleb loves to eat buns so much and he just need to ask "Ah ma, char siew pau?" and it drove my mom straight to the kitchen. Spoilt, spoilt brat, ish ish ish......

Filling oozing out.....mouth-watering ...uh la la......

My mom's signature dish called chye kueh (vegetable dumpling). Ocassionally my mom would make this and give it to her friends and neighbours. Sometimes she would sell them too but depend on who's ordering. She don't do stranger's business, only a few of her close friends.

Kiam chye boi. The leftovers, hokkien style. But actually there's nothing leftover here. My mom basically cooked it and purposely keep it in fridge for a few days. Just because her dear daughter (that's me!) wanted to eat this dish. Sweet, sour, spicy and aromatic because of the big roasted pig trotters in there. Yummmm, thick collagen...oh yeah!

If the above collagen is not enough, fret not because mom cook another round of pig trotter in vinegar and ginger. Oh, so delivishing good!

Say, when is the next school holiday term? :)

Curry wild boar

My mom-in-law cook this and we eat it for 2 days in a row. Mmmm....nyum nyum. Goes well with hot white rice or bread. I choose the later :)

It's spicy, full of spices, fragrant and absolutely divine......... A killer dish!

Since my mom-in-law said there is still leftover curry spices around, next week we are going to have curry chicken. Oh My Favourite!

Yamagoya Ramen @ Setia Walk

10 days to go...

Last few days ago, we went to Yamagoya Ramen at Setiawalk Puchong for my ramen's craving (although jk was very very reluctant to go, haha, and he don't have a choice)

I don't know what is so special about them but the outlook of their shop seems to have a very Japanese authentic thingy. So, I guess they wouldn't fail me with their ramen in hot soup, right? No harm in giving them a try thou....

And it turned out to be really good. We both ordered one of their signature ramen called Mukashi Special Ramen @ freaking!!! RM24 comprising of 2 thin slices of char siu, seasoned egg (this one is REALLY good!!), 1 piece of seaweed, bean sprout, wood ear fungus, spring onions and bamboo shoots in tonkotsu broth.

Just found out that the tonkotsu broth is made from pork bones as the main ingredients, cooked and boiled for a long time over an extremely high heat and such method of cooking will releases the bone marrow into the broth.

Yes, it was really really good. I can't help but sipping the soup almost to the end. But the ramen was toooo little for me. Hardly filled me up... :( Maybe next time I'll ask for more ramen. Mmmm......if only the have such thing. Haha....

Looking at the price, I would say I'll have a second thought when I'm thinking of having ramen here. But having it during a cold rainy night is just really really awesome.

jk: you are really a high maintence wife ler, I need to think of ways to find more 'coins' - qoute from Caleb.

me: so, just be a duck la, ok? me and Caleb go back first. Call me after you've done. :))

Caleb: Yeah! High-five!.... Opps, I high-five my face.

BMS Organics Black Sesame Cube

20 days to go...

I bought these 2 bottles of black sesame cube from BMS Organic store few days ago. One is Black Sesame Cube and another one with pumpkin. The price is about RM9 for one bottle after 10% discount. Not cheap eh?

left-black sesame pumpkin cube; right-black sesame cube 

They are quite nice actually. Very fragrant and not overly sweet. Caleb loves them to bits! He ate about 10 cubes of those everyday. I'm worried if he might over-dosed on black sesame soon. A quick check on the Internet, it shows that black sesame seeds are an extremely good source of calcium, protein, phosphorous, iron and magnesium. They are used to treat constipation and promote regular bowel movements. No wonder la, Caleb poo-ed a lot today and his stools were charcoal black. I started got worried because normally his stools is dark yellow. Then I remembered that he ate 20 cubes yesterday. 3 cubes in the morning, 10 with lunch and another 7-8 with dinner.

The ingredients...

I think I need to start taking those cubes. Having some difficulty in the toilet recently..........

Food in Bentong - part1

21 days to go...

Oh my, when I looked at the date, it made me realise that I'm gonna see my baby face to face in 3 weeks time! How excited......except all the needle poking part. Haiii.....sorry for repeat this again, I'm really really really x10 terrified of those needles la. But I guess there's not turning back now. It's just one way ticket now.

I was going through my album and I saw this wan ton meen pictures. Ohhh.....I'm missing it like crazy now.

This is the most delicious wan ton meen in my hometown. The noodles is springy, the sauce is just right and I love the char siew very much. And the dumplings......it's silky smooth outer skin wrapped with mince meat. So gooooodddd!!

Somebody? Somebody going back to bentong this weekend? Can tapau for me???

Roasted chicken rice with siew yok

23 days to go...

My bro-in-law tapau this roasted chicken rice with siew yok for me just now and I had it for lunch (and I had nasi lemak and 2 slices of roti bakar with a lot of kaya and butter for breakfast 3 hours ago). Wtf...I'm going to become a freaking fat lady with huge tummy and a big ass whale. Then I think of how I wish to go for a beach holiday and wearing bikini for once. Last time I didnt dare to wear it because I think I have small breast and big ass. But now, I think I have big breast with huge cleavage (yay!!) and even BIGGER ass. Sigh.........I guess I could never wear a bikini, anymore :(  So sad.......

So, I thought I'd finished up the chicken and roasted pork and eat less of the rice. Afterall, meat equals to protein and I need extra protien for baby's development right? End up I finished the rice......and the chicken........and roasted pork as well. Die lor..........

Wondermama @ Bangsar

25 days to go...

Once in awhile, we would try out some eatery place that is not in Puchong. Some places I found out at blogger's blog and some were recommended by friends.

So, this place that we are going to find out is Wondermama situated at Bangsar Village 1, beside Plan B restaurant.

One thing about this Wondermama is they have the most old school and retro decor you could possibly imagine. Kinda reminded me back when I was in my childhood.
Have you ever played this before? I'm sure you have if you were born in the '70s or the '80s in those small town or kampung :)

Anyway, we both (plus Caleb) reached there at around 11am. By that time, it they were serving breakfast and the option are quite minimal. We asked for normal ala carte menu but the waitress said it have to be after 11:30am. So, since we are barbarian and very stubborn, we just sat there doing nothing and wait until 11:30am. (I wished too) So, we just ordered from the breakfast menu.

While waiting, we had a few pieces of Nyoya kuihs - @RM1.50 per piece. Wahh....

Surprisingly, they were good! Just like how my Ah Ma used to do. Btw, my grandmother is a Nyoya descendant, that's why she made the most authentic Nyoya kuihs. Oh, how I missed her now :(

For tea time, they are having some sort of promotion now. 20% off on drinks, roti bakar, cakes and buy 1 free 1 kuih. Good eh?

I had nasi lemak, weird nasi lemak. I have not had my nasi lemak with fried mackerel fish and pok choy vege before. Have you?

At least I liked their sambal and anchovies.

Jk had mee goreng mamak with fried chicken. That piece of fried chicken looks good but jk said it was just so-so.

We were not satisfied with the selection on their breakfast menu and we went back again 2 weeks later. This time we purposely delay until 12pm. haahaa.... and yes, we got on hold of their lunch menu. Yay!

And I ordered WonderMama Breakfast Set. Lol!!! Never imagined that they had breakfast set in their lunch menu eh?

Jk ordered their salted fried rice. I had a spoonful and guess what? The fried rice using salt as the main ingredient instead of rice. It was so so so salty..... haiyo!

We ordered fried squid as side dish to share and it was ok. Nothing to shout about.....

Our drinks.... A cup of cham and ice coffee with jelly. Just normal....

While many bloggers praise highly on their foods, we just found it to be just ok. Over-rated? Mmm....I don't know. Maybe we ordered all the wrong food selections. At least they have the most awesome Nyoya kuih in town.

The story about instant noodle with lucheon meat and egg

27 days to go....

Today I'm craving for instant noodle with luncheon meat and egg. No, not those homecook but one that selling in Wong Kok Char Chan Teng or Kim Gary those kind of shop. Actually I've been craving that since last Saturday but due to we were back in hometown, I couldn't have it.

So, since today is Deepavali public holiday and Caleb don't have to go to school, we went to Setia Walk slightly later to have our breakfast at Wong Kok. Why Wong Kok? Well, that is the nearest within our vicinity and we are too lazy to go further and Wong Kok serve pork! (Old town don't serve pork, ok).

Anyway, we reached there around 10:40am but they haven't open for business.

They open at 12pm, wtf!!

Why oh why on earth they are opening so late? Today is public holiday, ok? Public holiday, people are suppose to wake up early and go have breakfast with family, ok? That's called family-bonding. Grrrrr.....
(pardon for the unstable mind)

At last we settled in Tappers. I don't know why I don't fancy gwai lo's food for this pregnancy. Be it breakfast or lunch or dinner. I just don't fancy sausages, egg, bread, spaghetti, burgers (except McDonald's Spicy Chicken McDeluxe). It just doesn't seem satisfied or fulfilling. All I want is rice, rice, rice and noodles. Oh no! The baby is going to be Cinapek, just like jk....... ohhhh......

Just now, I've just cooked a packet of Maggi Mee.

See? This is what pregnancy can do to you. When you say you want it, you are having it no matter what. It doesn't matter if it fills all the criteria (in this case, I don't have luncheon meat and egg) you needed, you just gonna have ONE!

So, is it satisfied at last? Nope, not really :(

I still want to have my instant noodle with luncheon meat and egg.
