Strawberry and honey comb ice-cream smoothies

Hi Luv,

My new drink concoction:strawberries (2 large punnets for AU$6) mix with honey comb ice-cream.Put in blender and Voila!

Cool drink after my nasi lemak escapade!

But guess what, when I woke on Sat morning...I kene cirit-birit..4x o.k! Only I yg kene...my other frens seemed awrite.

Could be my perut terperanjat dapat makanan yg enak enak belaka!

Well,am o.k now.

Till then wait for my next experiment.

Nasi Lemak

Hi Luv,

Another new experimental dish.

I cooked nasi lemak on Friday. Nasi lemak and accompaniments: ikan bilis~anchovies(Spore mari), hard boil eggs,cucumber(bought the wrong one...turns out to be zucchini...taste odd), grilled tandoori and honey soy drumlets, terung balado(still needs to learn) and last but but not least...sambal (chilli paste) power!

My housemate, Adeline cooked the rice and Ain does the dishes. My housemates and I makan berdamai...Carolyn tried a bit coz its too spicy for her.Well, at least she made an effort to try...including her beau!Adeline too has 'thin' tongue and could not stand the spicyness of the sambal initially but once she got the hangover, she spread the samball on the zucchini, top it up with anchovies!

Then my neighbour, Jess from Alice Spring, Claire from South Africa gave us scones, jam and fresh cream...for dessert!They are moving out at the end of the month to another house coz they said the Village rent is getting steeper.They have stayed here for 2 years in all.

All in all, my experimental dish turns out excellent except the sambal, needs to reduce the belachan and chilli for future undertakings.

Any idea what dish to cook next?I have all the spices and stuffs but no idea what to cook...

Till then..wait for my new dish.

Shopping time!

Hi Luv,

Don't be mistaken...shopping time for groceries at Central Market - CM. I bought belachan, asam keping/paste and cili kering.Asam pedas, lemak cili padi, sambal tumis telur...here I come!

Insya, tomorrow soto dan bagedil akan ku hidangkan kepada kawan-kawan ku. Ade Hari Raya gathering @ my apartment tomorrow nite. Doakan jadi ye...tapi nak kene baca resipi dulu malam ini.

I will buy the chicken tomorrow at CM...two whole chicken...Pak Aussie jual ayam will charge me AU$1 for him to cut up the chicken into halves...kurang asam!

Now my fridge is loaded with fresh food. Strawberries cost AU$1.50 per punnet...I bought 3 punnets.

Today I had lesson from 9am to 10am...I am happy today coz I got back my linguistic assignment...dapat HD (tak sia-sia prepare early)...best giler...so now nak tido...coz later nak continue with another assignment due tomorrow.

Bye!

Hari sedih ku...

Labour Day Holiday

Hi Luv,

Today all shops are closed...including the market.

I survived on nasi goreng hailam and maggi mee...a contrast to what I have in Spore.

Yesterday, I had fish and chips, salt and pepper squid at Paul's Restaurant @ Gouger Street...cost us AU$43...!The squid coated with seasoned flour and deep fried...value for money I would say but not always..once a month aje. Budget terhad...

I went to I-KEA to buy a wok. Will try 2nd level culinary cooking skills...insya.

Will have a Hari Raya gathering this Saturday...will keep all of you posted of my new dishes.

Hello...I am back

Hi Luv,

Selamat Hari Raya...Maaf Zahir dan Batin.

I have safely arrived in Adelaide. Alhamdullila kuih tart, popiah rolls dan kek lapis lepas dari 'genggaman' Pak Aussie imigration officer. But unfortunately, my beryani spices had to be taken away...4 boxes...luckily it costs me S$3.60 je.Phew!I will look for the spices in Asian grocery and will start on my level 2 cooking asap.

Hari Raya in Spore is SUPERB!Will not exchange for anything in return...next yr will definitely be back for RAYA...sumptuous food and visitation!I dapat $50 duit raya from one of my dad's cousins.

Rendang,samball goreng,sotong kering, lodeh and serunding!Yummy!
I had a spread of great food...nasi lemak with sambal prawns,mee rebus,rojak tahu,mee soto, Sakunthala all time favourite and chilli crab. I can't ask for more, can I?

Will be back for more juicy story...
