On days when I need a simple but nutritious vegetable dish, I turn to steaming the Okra, or more commonly known as the “Lady’s Finger”. “Okra” originated from the Nigerian word “okuru” and its scientific name is Abelmoschus esculentus. Okra is low in calories and is a good source of many nutrients including vitamin B6 and C, fiber, calcium and folic acid. It is effective for the prevention of neural tube defects in developing fetuses mainly due to its high content of vitamin B6, calcium, … [Read more...]
Fiery Fish Head Curry
Restoran Ocean Point48-G Jalan Anggerik Vanilla 31MKota Kemuning, Sect. 3140460 Shah ALamThe last time I went to this restaurant was quite some time ago - when it first opened. At that time I believed we just had a quick unmemorable meal as the restaurant then was quite deserted. However, of late, this place has been packing in the crowds. Probably they had a change in management and/or chefs. So last week, we decided to give it another try. On a week night, the crowd was pretty … [Read more...]
Home-cooked Assam Laksa
It’s been quite some time since I cooked Assam Laksa at home… so, when I was reminded about this fact, I decided to cook this last weekend. On Saturday morning I went to the wet market in Subang to get my fresh supplies… the vegetables, fish and noodles needed for this popular tantalising Malaysian dish! Actually, cooking Assam Laksa is very simple… about the most tedious task is perhaps the deboning of the fish. Here are what you need: For the Soup: Blend/pound together: … [Read more...]

Their congratulatory flower baskets are … [Read more...]

Dave’s Deli @ 1U
Dave's Deli has been around the Klang Valley for many years and I'm sure almost everyone knows about them. Now, if you think the food taste the same in every outlet, then you're pretty much wrong. I used to think that too. The menu may be the same but certainly, the portions and taste differ from outlet to outlet.One of the best outlets - in terms of portions and taste, is surely the one in 1 Utama. Compared to other outlets (eg the one in Subang Parade - sucky!), the 1U outlet comes up … [Read more...]
