Elliot always said Malaysia flag resemblance USA flag.Well,that right!!
Night time at Taman Tasik Titiwangsa..I never see 'Eyes on Malaysia' in real action.I hope my home coming trip to Malaysia,I'm going to visit Eyes on Malaysia without doubt.I'm very sure to visit my grandmother who are still living around the lake.She is 85 year old tough cookies!!
My childhood home near Taman Tasik Titiwangsa.My primary school , secondary school and my home are around the lake.I can't believe it have change so much.I remember every morning at weekend,I will accompany my grandma to jog around the lake.We live one block away from the lake.Actually Tasik Titiwangsa have more than 4 lakes,I remember they are lombong tin mine before DBKL take over to make it a Lake Garden in 80's.We always play around the lakes with basket sieve and bucket from my grandma kitchen to catch fish there.We were warned by many people not to go near the lakes.I seen an old,bald man dead and float in the lake when I was on my way home from school.The old man image is still very clear in my memory.They said he commit suicide.Every few months one or two dead body will float on that lake.Some are murdered and some are accident dead.Till today my grandma home is still there but I can't see from the picture.Maybe behind the bushes. The last time I hear ,Broadway shows stage is near the lake too.Hmmmm...I miss my childhood home and Malaysia!!
Happy Merdeka 50 Years to every Malaysian!! Looking forward to 2008!!
Baked Pork Empanadas
A Glass of Sugar Cane,anyone?
Sugar Cane in 8 Qt pot( I add carrot)
Prepared for the oven.
Inspired By Talented Chef Gertrude in
SnippetsOfMyLife to baked Pork Empanadas.I used pork in my filling instead of beef.My whole chicken is still frozen. While I'm making the Empanadas,Elliot asking what for lunch?.I told him that he have to wait 30 minutes for me to bake Empanadas but he can't wait,said too hungry,so I deep fried 2 pieces just for him.He even complaint that I put too much onion and green pepper,not enough meat.Complaint but still eat!!I found out that baked Empanadas is better than fried in the appearance and taste. Most important healthy too.
Today, I wake up early at 8.00 a.m by a Porter medic.We had an appointment for blood test and medical checkup which send by the insurance company.I normally won't wake up so early because Mishu keep me stay awake at night until wee hours.After finish baking Empanandas,I try to made Chef Gertrude Apple Cake UpSide Down but doom to failure!!.I don't have the right measurement!.Too much sugar and the cake break to small pieces when I removed from the baking pan.Called Chef Gertrude,she told me that I need to make the measurement on the dot!.Lesson numbers one!!I'm kind of lazy and short cut person,so I don't really bother with the exact measurement.Thinking it will be alright but turn up disaster!!That is my fault,bad for attitude!.But the cake taste very good beside too sweet!!.Elliot love sweet dessert but he still said it's too too sweet.Sorry! I don't dare to display the damaged!!.Malu only!
While baking cake and Empanadas,I also brew fermented sugar cane for drink..Elliot quickly switch on the living room exhaust to suck away the trap hot air in the house.I guess my stoves been on the whole day and the hot air really bother him.I have gas propane stoves and oven instead of electricity stoves.We modified our dryer,oven and stoves to use propane because of safety and lower cost compare with electricity.
Mishu refused to drink sugar cane drink that I been brewed for 5 hours!.How dare is she?.She ask me to open a bottle of Gatorade for her!.Again like father like daughter!!.
Happy Merdeka 50 years to everybody.The true Malaysian Spirit!!
Elliot love soft shell crab ever since we eat this dish in
Chinatown during Chinese New Year.We always go back to his favourite restaurant for this meal.Of course ,the restaurant serve this appetizer are much much better taste than what I cook for him. Actually, this Chinese restaurant,New Ocean is the previous Taste Good's Malaysia Restaurant.I still thought Taste Good's is still there when I want to eat Malaysia food on our visit during Chinese New Year but it turn out to be another Chinese restaurant.Before Taste Good's operated this location ,it's operated by Baba"s Malaysia Restaurant.I remember Baba's is the same chain with Nyonya Malaysia restaurant,if I'm not mistaken.Well,go back to my topic.
To enjoy this appetizer in this restaurant is pricey and inconvenience for us who live far away,so I bought a dozen of frozen soft shell crab home.The price is not bad at all.I try to intimate the way the restaurant cook but Elliot as always hurry me for his dinner.I remember this dish have some brown coconut flakes on the top and fresh cilli as well.They serve with red Chinese vinegar but I serve with apple cider mix with red wine on the side.I just defrost the nicely pack crabs and prepare my tempura mixing.I guess my mixing doesn't come out right.Look at my Soft Shell Crab so ugly!!I also add some onion ring on the side. Anyway,Elliot clean up his plate.He doesn't care for the presentation,just chow it!!.I'm thinking, next time I'm going to use Kentucky Fried Chicken Flour !.
I used Shanghai noodles substitute for home made Pan Mee.There is few type of Shanghai noodle,some are very fine and some are broad.I find there is not much different with the noodle we make at home.It's very convenience and cheap.$1.00 a packet.A packet of Shanghai Noodle can serve for 4 person.I kind of lazy to make the dough myself,so I think Shanghai Noodles will do.I love to use
lilyng method to microwave the anchovies.Her creativity is so awesome.It's so easy and clean.I bought few pounds of anchovies that been clean by the manufacture,to save me time from peeling and remove the head.The price is not really expensive compare with the unclean.I didn't go to the only one Asian supermarket near
StonyBrook so,I don't have mustard leafs, I use spinach instead.As long as I have green,it's good.
Ingredients
1 packet of Shanghai Noodles(boil for 10 minutes and run under cold water )
100 gm of shitake mushroom(boiled to soft and sliced)
100 gm of anchovies
1/2 pound of minced pork
1 whole chicken breast(remove meat and shredded)
1 bundle of spinach
10 cloves of garlic
5 pc of shallot
Method
Pour 4 qt of water for boiling the stock using whole chicken .Removed the white meat and let the bone boil for 1/2 hour.Sieved the soup and add 2 cubes of Knorr's Ikan Bilis to enhance the flavor.Put anchovies in a plate and mix with 3 tsp oil. Microwave on high, 2 minutes , stir well with the oil.Fried garlic and shallot in a pan until golden brown.Use the same pan to fry shredded mushroom and minced pork,add some soy sauce .Add some spinach into the boiling soup base .Scoop the soup into individual bowl to serve with noodles and the garnishing.Don't forget Chilli Padi go with it!.
I think my method is for people like me who always used short cut,do not wanna to make the dough.It's not bad after all.Give it a try if you think making "Pan Mee" is a lot of work.I bet you will said it's as easy as ABC!!.. But if you still feel it's too much work ,the easier way is go to
mytasteofasia for the instant Pan Mee!.
3 Cups Chicken also know as Basil Chicken
The first time I try three Cup chicken,was at
Davids-Taiwanese-Gourmet in Queens.That was almost 6 or 7 years ago. Three Cups Chicken is a Taiwanese dish ,also know as "San Bei Zhi".This restaurant serve authentic Taiwanese dish .Their menu have alot of Taiwan Special Dish like porridge,intestines,pig blood ,ear,tongue,skin and etc.It's quite an eye opening and refreshing to try Taiwan food once a while.
When I was at
bestyetmarket for food shopping ,I saw a whole bunch of fresh basil with root attached on sale.I have no idea what should I do with the basil I bought.I thinking maybe I should replant the root after I freeze the leaves.Suddenly,I'm thinking about 3 cups chicken.I bought 3 lbs of whole leg from
waldbaums 2 days ago on the weekly sale.That right!! I can use whole leg chicken to make 3 Cups chicken.Although Three Cup Chicken is named for its three liquid ingredients--sesame oil, rice wine and soy sauce--its enticing aroma is what attracts your attention. Scents of ginger and basil waft from this version of the traditional Taiwanese dish. Such a fragrant meal seems like it would take awhile to prepare, but this comes together quickly.
Ingredients
3 pound of chicken leg,cut up 1/2
1/2 cup of sesame oil
3 inch piece of ginger root( peeled, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds)
10 cloves of garlic, lightly smashed
1/2 cup shaoxing wine or other rice wine
1/2 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons sugar
3/4 cup loosely packed basil leaves
1 Onion(sliced) optional
Method
Cut the chicken parts into 2-inch pieces using a cleaver. Set aside. Heat sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the ginger and garlic and cook until aromatic, for 1 minute. Increase the heat to high and add the chicken. Cook and stir ,the chicken until the flesh no longer looks pink, for 3 minutes. Add the shaoxing wine, soy sauce and sugar, stirring to mix well. Cover the skillet or wok and cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is reduced by half or thicking.And the chicken is cooked thoroughly for 15 to 20 minutes. Add in the basil just before serving.This serving is good for 4 person.For anyone who want to try Taiwanese dish,should try 3 cups chicken first before go to next level.I serve it with Jasmine's white rice.That is Mishu and mine dinner for few days.
Porterhouse Steak with Shrimp ,shell chesse and string beans.
Sangria also know as Spanish cocktail!!
Elliot just pass his motorcycle license.He is so happy and thrill that he was able to pass his practical exam when he's only have one day training course.He want us to go out and celebrate but I told him ,I already prepare his dinner and drink.He called all his friends and inform them about his result.Well,he said to me"I'm so excited and aren't you happy for me?".Of course I am!!I said.Then he said "I know you have your motorcycle license at young age,so you think it's not a big deal but to me it is a big deal"!!".And he go on with his rambling," you have to bear with me this few days,I'm going to keep talking about it all the time ."!.That right,he keep talking that he is going to buy a bike and bring
Victory catalog home with him .Yesterday,he even bring me to
Victory show room on the way to apple picking.All the Bike in the show room is so cool and so damn expensive!!.I told him,why not wait until he more confident with his skill first before getting himself a bike.He is so disappointed that I'm not really support his idea.I know he is the kind of "hangat hangat tahi ayam'person.In weeks or months,he will just lost his interest.Why buy a bike that he can only use for summer?.That is not practical.Yes,it's an expensive hobby too.I told him,I don't mind he buy one if we have few hundreds thousands just sitting in the bank right now.He understand my point and didn't argue about it.That is good about him,that he trust my judgement about our financial situation.I applaud him to trust me .
So, I quickly cook his simply dinner.Porterhouse Steak with Shrimp .I add some steam string beans with butter and shell cheese on the side too.I just rub the steak with some garlic,parsley and salt seasoning.On top of his meal,I make a jug of Sangria to celebrate with him.."Cheers to your Motorcycle license'!!
Mishu filling the bag with apples she pluck...small one!!
Mishu looking for the next target!
Ripe Raspberry is quite sweet.
Raspberry Trees
Mishu inspect her apples.
Mishu suddenly bring her book to show me.It's Andy the Apple!!.I read for her but she keep flipping the pages to show me all the apples are with eyes and mouth.For a while I'm thinking,she might interested if she go to apple orchard to see the real apple.Quickly ,I 'google' in my area for apple picking farm.I found few farms in my county but the nearest one is
fortsalongafarm.I tell Elliot about my idea and he agree to go with us.It's might be fun for Mishu,since she never pick any real apple from the orchard.It's just take us 20 minutes drive from our home.Elliot know his island better than me.Well,unfortunately,the farm policy insist each adult to paid $10 for 1/4 bushel of apples.I never been to this farm,so I find their policy are quite weird and unreasonable.I been to apple farm in Upstate ,New York and the farm didn't charge us per head count like here.Instead we just pick the apples and bring it to the cashier for weighting.We just paid whatever price goes by accordingly to the apple per pound.Elliot decided not to enter the orchard and he wait in our van for us.We can't even finish a bag of apple,for sure .The caretaker refused to let Elliot step in the orchard for photo taking.I find out that the caretaker is very bossy and intolerance person.They keep telling me about their rules and regulations.They ask me to twist the apple and not to pull the apple from the tree.Said it will hurt the tree and it won't bloom next year.One of the lady lecture me when Mishu simply plucked the unmarked apple tree.They give me a piece of paper in which indicated the numbers and names of each apple.I can only pluck the apples from the trees where it's mark with white flag.Later on,Elliot told me he heard they complaint about me.
Mishu is so excited when she see apple orchard for the first time.She been running and plucking the apple for the first 10 minutes.We just spend about 30 minutes in the orchard.Some of the apple is still unripe.I like Fuji apple but Fuji's is not ripe until October.Beside that the farm also have Raspberry picking.
On our way home ,I'm thinking,what should I do with the full bag of apples?'.Maybe I should bake some apple pie or make some apple jam.I have never bake any apple dessert or make any apple jam ,but there is always a first time for everything!!.I'm up to the challenge!!..
This plate of Loh Mein is for Mishu.She love shrimp and chinese sausage!!
This is my Mee Goreng extra spicy!!
Yesterday,I made Fried Noodle for Mishu and myself.I still have half packet of yellow noodles left over,so I better cook it before it gone bad.Usually when we order fried noodles in Chinese take out restaurant in US,we called Loh Mein.Don't mistaken for Loh Mee Malaysia style.Actually it's Mee Goreng but I dunno why American chinese restaurant called it Loh Mein instead of "Chow Mein".And in fact, Chow Mein in Chinese restaurant are Stir Fried Mix Cabbage with meat in corn starch.Weird !!I still can't figure out why until now.Well,I cook with shrimp,long hot pepper,onion,chinese sausage,egg,tomato and fried Tofu.Beside that I add alot of minced fresh garlic and shallot.I also add oyster sauce ,dark sweet soy sauce and chicken flavor powder.Too bad I don't have any Chinese vegetable.I only have iceberg lettuce,so I guess lettuce doesn't go well together with mee goreng.This is a very easy cooking meal.I think people like me who are not expert in cooking can make this dish,then everybody who love to eat fried noodles can cook this dish as well in their home..Less than 30 minutes,our dinner is ready!!.Makan time ,Mishu!!.Come!
Today made Brick Pepperoni Pizza with 3 cheese
The second attempt but the crust it as hard as Brick!!
Used ready
permix dough from store but this pizza was burn
I have try to make pizza dough the 3rd time this week.I have no idea why the dough doesn't rise as it said on the recipe book.Maybe I didn't follow the right measurement or I failed to understand how to make dough.Whatever reason,I still process my pizza with the topping.I promise Elliot that when he wake up in the morning his pizza will be ready waiting for him on the counter for breakfast.My first attempt,I make 2 trays.He been eating both tray for the last 3 days for his breakfast.The crust is hard like brick but he still eating it.I guess he try to be supportive or else I won't make any more pizza for him.The other day,I just bought a ready mix pizza dough from supermarket ,unfortunately I didn't watch the oven timer and let it burn.Elliot told me to throw in garbage.He drove to his favourite pizza place and order 2 pieces for himself and one for Mishu.He know that I not crazy for pizza.Today again,I use my last pack of yeast.I think the dough doesn't rise,I have no idea why..Anyway,like usual I spread spaghetti sauce, pepperoni ,mozzarella ,Parmesan and yellow cheese on it.After 20 mins in oven,I quickly bring it out,not burn this time.Elliot happily eat his warm and cheesy pizza even though the dough doesn't rise to the max.I'm going to keep trying until my pizza dough rise and perfect.Never said die attitude!!
A Bowl of Chicken Herbal soup for Mishu
Dry red dates,dry longon,pak kei and tong sam
Dry Lycium Barbarumi(kei chi) and Polygonatum(yoke chok)
Tonight I didn't cook any meal,still have plenty of left over.So I just brew a Chinese herbs soup.I remember the last time I had this soup was two and half years ago.My mom brought some Chinese herbs for my confinements and I still have some left over .Well,I believe some of my Malaysian friend told me that every once a month we need to drink or consume Chinese herbs soup to cleansing our body from toxin.Accordingly to Chinese,drinking Chinese herbs soup can balance up our heaty body or vice verse.But for me I have no idea which is heaty or cooling herbs.I just know the soup taste good not bitter or hard to sallow.I still have some end pork ribs bone and chicken whole leg.It's quite easy to brew Chinese soup.All in one pot.
Here is my own recipe
4 pcs of end pork ribs
2 pc of chicken whole leg(remove the fat and skin)
Boil a pot of hot water for the meats to be wash and remove the fats or oily consistent.Just let the meat in the boiling water for 5 to 10 mins.Take out the meats from boiling pot.Run the meats under cool water to removed the excess fats
4 Qtr of water boiled to 2 qtr of soup
50 gm of Ziziphus(Red dates or hong chor)
200 gm of dry logan
50 gm of Radix Astragali(pak kay)
100 gm of Frutus Lychii(kei chi)
50 gm of Biskut Kelapa(tong kui)
100 gm Polygonatum(yoke chok)
Salt to taste
I love to put alots of Frutus Lychii in the soup. .It's just take an hour and half to the soup to get ready to serve.Mishu love it and keep asking for more after a small bowl.The herbal soup is really sweet because of 'kei chi' and dry Logan.I have no idea ,what this soup mean..Yin or Yang..as long as it's herbal and she love to drink, that's matter.
Yesterday,I bought a pack of pork ribs from
meatfarms.Well,what should I cook this with ribs?.Thinking wisely and looking for recipes book again .I'm thinking of 'bak kut teh' but I don't have "fried to-fu ' and it seem a shame and waste that I have to chop this nice looking ribs into small pieces.So to make things easier for me ,I marinated the whole pork ribs with spices in zip lock bag in fridge for overnight.I know Elliot prefer BBQ ribs rather than 'Bak Kut teh".Accordingly to him "bak kut teh' herbs smell stinky,especially when I brew it. .So I took out the marinated ribs and broil it into my oven for one hour.Since today been raining whole day and is quite cold,so I'm happily use my oven for the 3 time.Early in the morning I test make my pizza dough,quite disappointed because the flour doesn't rise to my expectation.Ok..I'll post about my pizza making failure post after this topic.
Here is my BBQ Pork Ribs recipe
Ingrendients
One whole pork ribs(clean and removed fat)
2 tbsp of 5 spices powder
2 tbsp of Hoisin sauce
2 tbsp of yellow mustard
2 tbsp of sugar
1 tsp of salt
Mix all the ingredient's well in zip lock bag with ribs for 8hours or overnight.
Method
Lay flat the whole Ribs on an aluminium foil(I hate to wash the pan,so I just use foil) over a rack in a deep tray .Fill some water in the deep tray.I was told by few restaurant chef that put some water in the tray under meat will make the meat moisture and tender.Wrapped the whole ribs with aluminium foil all over to prevent the meat to get too dry..Pre heat one to 425 F and let it broil for 45 min .After 45 mins,open the top foil and check the meat with chopstick.Just poke with chopstick and if the chopstick go all the way through,that mean,it's cook.Let the foil open to broil the top part until golden brown.Basting the ribs with the juice or sauce on the foil.Let's not forget to brush with
peterluger sauce on the finish touch.Let the ribs broil for another 10 mins.Ready to serve .
Elliot and Mishu love it.The bone fell of the meat itself.The meat is so juicy and tender.Love
peterluger sauce.This sauce owner a.k.a restaurant is very famous and rated by Zagat 23 year in row for the number 1 SteakHouse in NY.I ate in their restaurant once, years ago for chicken dish since I don't eat beef or steak.The furniture are more than hundred years old.Very antique as well as their wait-staff.I thought I was in senior home!!You can get the sauce in any supermarket.
Inspired by Sous Chef Gertrude
Snippetsofmylife again to made Raisin Teabread instead of raisin cake .This is my ever first time in my life I try to make tea bread from scratch.I use a electric whipper left over by my mother-in-law.I have no idea how to operate the machine.I have to seek Elliot help to set up and put it together.He told me that machine is older than me!!Since I never make any cake or bread from scratch,it's never cross my mind to get a new one.Well,if this experience making teabread will success,I'm going to buy a new hand whip machine soon.I bought this bread book recipe years ago and now I use it to mix with Chef Gertrude fruit cake recipe.
Ingredients :
4 packet of dried raisin
1/2 cup of Malibu rum.(I don't have dark or white rum)
2 sticks of butter
1 cups of coconut dark brown sugar
4 eggs
3 cups of flour
1 tsp of baking powder
2 tsp sugar
Zest of 1 orange
1) Soak the dry raisin with Malibu rum and Orange juice for overnight in the refrigerator
2)Clean up my mini non stick baking tin
3) Cream butter and sugar until blend thoroughly
4) Add all the eggs mix
5) Mix in orange zest
6) Add in soak dry raisins and then fold in sifted flour and baking powder
7) Pour batter into prepared cake tin.
8) Bake in a pre-heated 375 degree F oven for 70 mins or until centre is firm to touch or well risen.
9) Let the cake cool in the tin before removing the cake.
10)Remove the bread from the tin and turn the bread out on to a wire rack after 2-3 minutes.
I cut a piece in the center after it cool down.What I found is that tea bread is quite dry compare with cake.Or it's me that make the tea bread dry?.Well,I think I need to have more practise to make it taste good.I think it's not really hard to make cake or tea bread after this experience.The most important is to organise and prepare the ingredients in advance.So next time I will prepared all the needed ingredients in days or week before I try another new recipe.Now I have the courage to try the next step.Elliot just told me that he don't like the taste.So I guess,I'm the only one who is going to eat the rest of my Raisin TeaBread.
The packaging is well presentable with daun kesom picture on the package.But there is none daun kesom in the paste or in the ingredients .What a misleading product!
I add more cococnut milk to make it 'lemak' as it supposed to be in Singapore Curry Laksa Noodles.
Recently,I been looking high and low for Singapore Curry Laksa Noodles Paste.I been craving for this dish since last month.Whenever I have the chance to go to Elmhurst Queens ,I will try my best to eat in or take out this dish at
about Taste Good Malaysia Restaurant.Elsa and Belancan from
mybuddies praise that Prima 's brand product for Singapore Curry Laksa is very very good.The last time I was in Chinatown,I search for this Prima's brand but unfortunately, no store in NYC carry this brand yet.But I found Asian Home Gourmet Brand for Singapore Curry Laksa Paste.In no time I quickly snatch few packets of their products.Well,I'm quite disappointed with their Singapore Curry Laksa paste.Their packaging is well presentable but the paste is very small compare with other brand like Delimas.Beside that the paste don't have daun kesum for Singapore Curry Laksa.I guess this company don't have any idea what is Singapore Curry Laksa!!.How can a Singapore Curry Laksa paste don't have daum kesum on the side or in the paste??.It's just the taste of regular curry laksa with very mild taste and flavor.The instruction on the back of the package suggested for 3 serving but I just add 400 ml coconut milk in the can and another 100 ml of water.It's just good for 2 serving instead of 3 as suggested.I make it with 'lai fun'(round rice noodle) ,shrimp,fried to-fu,chicken,fish cake and Delimas Crispy Shrimp Chilli
mytasteofasia.
I promise myself in future I won't buy this Asian Home Gourmet Singapore Curry Laksa.It's not up to my expectation.Maybe, my taste for this Singapore Curry Laksa Noodles was spoilt by eating in Taste Good Restaurant since their are the best of all I have try so far.I hope Prima's product will carry their supply in NYC.I have to try this brand since myBuddies members give this brand 5 stars!
Close up look Fried Wanton
This is my 3rd attempt,that today I try again using egg roll skin to wrap my Fried Wanton with 2 style.Did you see the different fried wanton style look familiar??.I have no idea why my wanton skin look 'dirty'!
This is the 2ND attempt I'm making fried wanton using Cantonese wanton skin wrapped.Still not up to my expectation.
Taste not too bad but the appearance not really look good.I used new oil but still the filling leak out.1st effort to make fried wanton.
Used Cantonese Wanton skin the 1st time to make fried 'deep pocket'
Inspired by Talented Chef Gertrude's Fried Wanton featured in
Snippets of My Life, I been try this dish for 3 times.The first 2 time I used Cantonese Wanton wrapper which is yellowish and the skin is very fragile.Both time ,after fried my wanton skin look bad.It's seem like the filling or juice leak out while frying.Today, I try again using egg roll skin instead of Cantonese Wanton skin.I try to foil it in different way too ,to prevent the filling from leaking.I guess I still need more practise to wrap the skin.Maybe I will try to bake it instead of frying .I have to seek Chef Gertrude advise why my Fried Wanton skin don't look clean.It's there is a special way to deep fried it?.
