Tempura Fried Calamari

It has always been a challenge for me to get crispy fried seafood, and I decided to raise the bar and try tempura fried calamari instead...hmmm...talk about being ambitious!!

Anyway, I did some research over the net, and found of some "tips" which I will share with all of you.

Weekend Breakfast-Hotel Style

It was one of those weekends that you feel like eating a luxurious breakfast, one that you normally have in the hotels during vacations. So I had to use my creativity to come up with something interesting.

Since my hubby decided to sleep in late, so it was preparation from me and my boy only.

This is what I cooked up for my boy... Toast, cocktail sausage sautéed in butter, scrambled eggs with herbs and baked beans. A wholesome and nutritious breakfast for a kid.

Fish Head Curry-My Favourite Comfort Food

The Fish Head Curry dish is a all time Malaysian favourite. We have even heard news that Singapore claims this dish to be their national dish, but I am not going to that debate.

There many versions of the fish head. Indian, Nyonya, Malay and even the Chinese version. I have tried this delicacy in many restaurants, but I still prefer my own home-made version. The fish head curry is served in a clay pot, in most eateries, but I cook mine in a clay-pot. I believe cooking the curry in a clay-pot, enhances the flavour.

Beutiful Lights @ I-City, Shah Alam

You will be able to see lights shining from a small hill just behind Sungai Rasau Toll Plaza along Federal Highway. A pretty sight, indeed! I-City is the latest MSC Malaysia Cybercentre Zone @ Shah Alam, Selangor.

If you have  a free week-end, why not take the kids over. I find this is good place to spend some quality time. However, to be honest, not all adults will enjoy this place, but  it would be a fun day(or should I say night) with kids, besides the usual window shopping in ever so many malls.

I tried my best to take some nice shots...so bear with me.

Best Currypuffs I have eaten from a humble stall

It was a cold and rainy day , and as usual the cold made me hungry. At 4.00pm, my stomach craved for something savoury.Currypuffs come into our mind when we think of what we want to accompany our hot cup of tea with..

Seafood @ Kang Guan, Pulau Carey

Since our moved from Penang, I am still trying to explore good seafood in KL/Selangor. A friend of mine suggested Pulau Carey, and I went through the blogs, only to find most people recommending this restaurant.
Pulau Carey is basically an oil palm estats and has some oil palm refinery on the island. The seafood restaurant I went to was at the mainland just before the bridge.

Since we went on a Sunday night, the restaurant was already crowded, and we had to wait for some time for our food. Nevertheless, the owner or staff were fairly nice and courteous. My friend's family and mine, which consist about 8 of us went there for dinner.

Butter prawns @ RM30, it was  not oily and fresh. The dish was huge for us, the crowd of 8. The prawns were flavoured well, with the right amount of curry leaves and chilly.

Homecook meals are the best

I am not against banana restaurant leaf restaurants and I don't mind splurging a little once in a while. But to be honest, sometimes the price can be rather ridiculous. Imagine, the 3 of us can spend up to MYR50 for a meal.
However, being an Indian, I rather save the allocation to spend on non Indian food when we go out.
Therefore, I make it a point to cook a simple, delicious and classy meal for the family. This is could be an effort to curb the ever increasing food prices. In addition to that, we don't have to be stingy with home-cooked home. You can have up to 3 times serving, without a worry of insufficient food.
Typical home-cooked meal as below :

Plain rice, vege + dhall curry, chicken variaval, beans and some sambal belacan

The nutritious meal featured  above consist of protein, veges and carbohydrates, and is full of taste.
