18-9-2011 Pineapple Curry Prawns

I learned this cooking from 'Nasi Lemak Lover: Nyonya Prawn Curry'. This dish is AWESOME!! But I think I should reduce the amount of thick coconut milk as it appear to be very thick for me. But it just taste too good!

Pineapple Curry Prawn

Saw a note from one of the blogger she has actually cooked the nyonya style of prawn. And I am going to cook this for our lunch tomorrow as this few days BF has been finishing work late and I had my dinner on my own. Since it's a weekend for tomorrow I'm going to learn to cook this for the first time...hmmm recently been cooking a number of dishes for the first time..hehehe

Anyway, I went to TESCO EXTRA today to buy some prawns and recently it seems they only sell the XXL size prawn. I've been buying the prawns in three different occasions and the price is vary each time I buy the prawn. But today the prawn is kinda big in size and it cost me RM16.99/kg well I bought 12nos of the prawn and it cost me at RM4.80..worth it huh...I still have about 5prawns left over from yesterday hokkien prawn mee and 6nos left over from last weekend tomyam poktek's cooking.oh no no no I am not going to cook all these prawns!!! lol..maybe I will use the 12 prawns I bought today for the pineapple prawn curry...the balance maybe to cook tomyam and to stir fry belacan kangkung ^_^

16-9-2011 Hokkien Prawn Mee

The usual me....Was watching tv this afternoon and have the thought of making Hokkien Prawn Mee and went to TESCO Extra at Sg.Dua to buy some cooking ingredients. Mom taught me how to cook this and I also added in 'Sengkuang' aka Sweet Turnip. This is to replace rock sugar (as in most online recipe they encourage to add in rock sugar)..Normally I will make a big pot of the broth but since I am cooking it for our dinner I just make quarter of the pot. And last but not least....bean sprouts! Also very important garnishing...water spinach! this is whoooppppiiiilicious!

Tom Yam Poktek Part II

I've made this tomyam soup this weekend. I had my first try on this tomyam last Sunday during our lunch at one of the Thai Restaurant nearby our place and it taste so good! I tried to make this soup based on the taste and when my tomyam poktek is ready I realize it does not taste the same as what I have tried on last Sunday. I've grind all the ingredients but my tomyam turn out to be very 'clear' perhaps I've added too much water in it. But no worries 'ikan bilis' cube to the rescue, I've added one cube into the soup base and it turned out to be so delicious! I only grind 3 stalks of lemongrass...kaffir lime leaves, ginger and some garlic. I should have grind the galangal together but I failed to get one from Tesco & Sunshine supermarket today so I've skip the galangal. I added some big prawn into the soup as well with oyster mushroom, carrot , kaffir lime leaves and crabstick. I will try this tomyam poktek again this Friday hope it can turn out to be as good as the one I had at the Thai Restaurant last weekend.

Tom Yam Poktek Part I

We were having our lunch in this Thai Restaurant at Paya Terubong last weekend. We ordered Tom Yam Poktek soup. It taste so GOOD and yummy-licious!It's a clear soup and has grind lemongrass,red bird chili,kafir lime leaves,galangal,and a little bit of ginger. All this ingredients grind together and turn it into clear soup served with oyster mushroom,prawns and chopped coriander leaves. It has some sour and spicy taste. To my assumption they have grind the red bird chili together with the rest of the ingredient as I saw some chili flakes in the soup. And also they have added the 'asam keping' in making this special soup. I've tried to google the recipe online but I did not come accross of any similar cooking as the one I had.

It's about time for me to use my taste buds to do the cooking. Hope it turn out to be a good one. I have all the ingredients needed for this cooking stock up in the gridge except for prawns and coriander leaves as this two ingredients I will need a fresh one. Let's see this is going to be my Saturday project or Sunday project.

Curry Prawn with Deep Fried Mantau

During my friend's wedding dinner last Tuesday they served us with Indonesia King Prawn Curry but to our surprised the curry is SO DELICIOUS! They served with deep fried mantau and now I am google-ing through see if anyone does cook the same type of curry~ Both of us missed that dish so so much :D
