My First Time Steaming Fish


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting


*fish is overcooked* Senangin





Senangin fish does taste as good when steam than fry.





Mom was planning on frying fish for

dinner that night. My hands were feeling rather restless and itchy, so

i took one of her fish and experiment with it!


(this is the case of watching too many episodes of Naked Chef*





Cut some ginger, garlic, a bit of honey and rice wine... tada... *bluek* Doesn'ttaste good. Should have steamed fish for 15 minutes only.





The fishy smell of the fish was rather heavy...i could not finish it until mommy suggested to me to add a few drops of sesame oil. It tasted better after that. Should not have put the honey at all,made the dish too sweet!

Some of my Favourite morning eats in Jl.Sayang





*pak bubur*



This

the Bubur man *teng teng teng... superhero music plays*, who comes

eveymorning without fail at about 6.30am with his son hitting the

porcelain bowl with a spoon to announce their arrival. By 6am i'll be

awake laying on on my bed with my audio sensor searching for *ting ting

ting*. Jumps out of bed and shout downstairs to teteh to order one for

me!! *slurps* Bubur man is so nice, you don't have to pay him

immediately once you get your food.








*bubur ayam*- was the morning before my final examination of mathematics starts...



This

is my usual order. I usually have chicken porridge every morning on

exam days. Never get tire of it. Cost RP3000 only and a packet or two

keropok wil be given, cheap cheap! You can add eggs or gizzards but you

got to pay extra.








*condiments*


This

is not a clear pic but anyway this Indonesia's style of porridge.

Condiments:roasted peanuts, fried shallots, shredded chicken meat,

lemon grass leaves(i think), a little bit of sesame oil, lontong kari

gravy (abit), 'kicap manis'-sweet sauce, and not forgetting a spoon of

sambal. *tada*!! Thats is what makes a delicious porridge in Indonesia.








*Bubur hati ayam*

Too

some it may look not pleasing, but it taste good!! I usually have this

when i'm menstruating.Cos i think this will replanish the iron in my

body that i lose to dracula!! This is consider a heavy breakfast for

me, it will last me till late afternoon, unlike if i eat porridge in

Malaysia in a matter of less than 4hrs i'll be hungry once again.

In Indonesia they do have 'char kue', but we know it fondly has 'yau char gwai' or 'yew char kui'.

Theirs come in small and short form, which is about 3 times bigger than

the size of a toothpick only!! LOL, and they don't come in pair like

here.



Sunday mornings are one of those time i look

forward going to, cos there will be a morning market(PAUN). Imagine

your University campus usually is clean and orderly looking during the

6days and on sundays it turns into morning market!! The first time i

went to the market made me unable to recognise my university the next

day. PAUN is what the locals call the morning market, a short form of

'pasar unpad'. Lots of wet goods would ve sold then,toys, bags,

shoes,FOOD&drinks, kitchen utensils..etc.

After walking a round then my friend and i will head to this stall...






*kuih-muih*brownies is nice and the white  green is good*

Ok,

i don't have a decent and cheap bakery around my place(don't get me

wrong,they do have 2 mini bakery but it has less stuff), if i wanted to

go to a bakery i have to go to the city,bandung! The pastries may look

dry, but taste fine. Don't go comparing this to Baker's Cottage, Bee's,

King's... pastries cos they are diffirent. Of course la those

prestigious bakeries i named are tastier than these but when you're

there, that's one of the best stuff you can get. Just have to lower

your expectations.






*molen/bolen*(on the right)



That is one of the famous pastries in Bandung, Indonesia!! Everytime we

will order a few boxes from the famous bakery Mayasari. This molen

comes with various stuffing: banana and cheese, durian, tapai,

apple...etc.Cost abt RP20,000 for a box. It's so tasty that you'll get

so hook into
it.My family always ask me to buy when i get back and it will finish in a few days time!!

Saefood Raw fish Sushi








Various Sushi








<<Unagi>> = grilled eel




Yesterday i met up with a few close friends of mine for sushi, at Zen@Sunway Pyramid!









Ambience was great! I ordered Sakura(something-something-Seafood)-RM25,where else the gals shared Unagi(something-something)-RM30.





My Sakura was good! Since i was craving for sushi or any kind of fish i can eat i had my full filling of it! *drools* Riabu and Geri's Unagi was equally good too! You kow when you go to those sushi outlet you get a round small plate of unagi, if you thing it taste good, you should try it with rice on it. The juice of the unagi that have been marinated is on the rice which makes it a "hmm mmm nhmm"! Lovely! It'really filling too. It's a set the unagi, definitely able to fill up 2 skinny gals. The set come with a bowl of miso soup, cawanmushi and some tune thingy(good for making sandwich..kekeke).





Well everyone should give it a try. IF you're a Japanese glutton, head on there! Ambience and food will not dissapoint you. Splurge a little for a little different from your regular Japanese restaurant hangout.
