: : Shiok Food : :

Cleaning up my mailbox today, I found a letter from Madhu Menon and his restaurant called Shiok ~ Far Eastern Cuisine. Went to the site and found more interesting reads. I love the dishes with the logo on them. Pity that it’s in Singapore. Darn! Not much food choices in Kuching, irregardless of my postings.

Then again, I live with Granny. Nuff said.

Anyway, do visit the site and if you end up there because of reading this, please say hi to the chef for me. Cheerio!

: : Pizza, a Square Meal : :

Yep, it had everything in it : greenies, meat and carbo. My sister-cousin Gwen made it for me and her sons during my recent trip to KL. It was done in a jiffy and I forgot to get the pizza bread-base recipe from her. What she did was bake the base in the oven for awhile until it’s crispy.

Once the bread base was done, she added in a layer of tomato puree on top and started putting it layers of sausages, pepperoni and green capsicum. For the sausage, we used the ever popular Ayamas sausage that had cheese inside them. Yummy!

Now we musn’t forget the cheese no? Sprinkled liberally, it was enough to make our mouth water.

Ah! The final meal. Not bad eh? It was very very nice and between the 4 of us, we finished the whole lot!

On top of that, we also had BBQ ribs but that’s something for tomorrow!

: : Stinky Bean : :

Action

Eat the above concoction comprising of chilli paste, prawn and petai beans. Flavour is salty, spicy and sweet. Beans are crunchy and a mild sweetest taste.

Body reaction

Extremely … errr… flatulance as well as strong odour when discharging liquid waste a.k.a. urinating. Hold breath!

No pain no gain, baby!

: : I’m a part of a Salad : :

Malaysians are not a cultural meltingpot because a meltingpot signifies that everyone melts together and blends in. I prefer to refer to our community as a saladbowl. Notice that each ingredient is still recognizable as an invidual and yet, comes together to make a wonderful dish.

This was a statement that I heard today about Malaysia’s independance. I agree with him although I’m sure he meant salad rather than the bowl. The pic is old but the salad remains forever fresh.

Happy Post Merdeka day everyone!

Live to Eat or Eat to Live? That is the question.
