KK Curled Prawn

Salam all, First of all I would like to express my gratitute to Allah SWT for giving us this delicious food, reached at our door step through our generous friend, Norizan Md Diah. Izan's brother came from Kota Kinabalu and brought some fresh prawns for her. Generously, she distributed the prawns to her friends. Alhamdulillah, I am lucky to be among her friend. Kota Kinabalu, Sabah is well known for its fresh sea food. Anyone flewn from KK will never missed to bring along the fresh sea food, especially prawns to the Peninsular. Not to worry about the packaging as the prawns are well packed, frozen for travelling. I wonder what I should cook with these prawns. Some time ago when I have these large prawns, I try making the sweet and sour prawns, it tasted delicious but we could not actually enjoy the sweet and delicious taste of the prawn as it is covered with gravy. Therefore, this time, I planned just to fry the prawns. I chose to make a 'Coated Prawn'. *Note: No time for de

My Cucur Quality

Salam all, As usual I would like to share an outdated recipe. I made this some time ago after a 5 days workshop (bukan workshop kereta ye..) at a hotel in Shah Alam. During my stay there, I was like addicted to this food serve by the hotel's kitchen. The interesting part is that, this food is served hot at almost every meal time (breakfast, lunch and sometimes for dinner). I just love the taste. The crunchy taste that can be chewed comfortably. You can also taste the fresh carrot sliced into it. It is very delicious. Many of the workshop participants agreed with me, as we will normally wait patiently for the food to ready to be served at the serving station. Looking below is my version of the food I described earlier. Some might say, "What? Cucur? What so special about the cucur? Why go to hotel for cucur? You can easily make one." Yes, I agreed to all the statements above. It is so easy to make cucur. But I like this cucur, and I find it special as it was crunchy. Shamel

Kue Tiao Soup

Salam all, The same question popped up over and over again when the office hour is almost over ... what to cook for tonight. I listened to a motivational talk one day saying that many women wasted their energy unnecessarily by thinking what to cook. But I still believe that we need to really think of what to serve our family especially if that will make them happy and healthy. So, here goes the question: "What's for tonight?". At times I tried to get my husband to solve my problem even though I know that the answer will be a very frustrating one, "Apa-apa je lah". But I still ask, hoping that one day a better answer will be uttered. Asking the kids will more likely receive a very truthful answer. And for last night when given choices between the rice or the kue tiao soup, they eagerly answered "Kue Tiao Soup". This is how my kue tiao soup looks like. To top up the taste, I blended some hot fresh chillies (cili api) and mix it with the dark soya sauce.
