See what I found at the supermarket at lunch time? My favourite Indian mangoes! They have made their 1st appearance this year - season has started! Yayyy! Although it's expensive ~ at RM12.90 per kg (from Jusco), I could not resist buying. It's always expensive at the beginning of the season. The price will go down later - to as low as RM7 a kg. It's even cheaper if you buy by the box/carton...hehe! These 3 beauties here weigh 1.3kg and cost me RM17. I can't wait to gorge into the luscious … [Read more...]

When I woke up yesterday morning - a bit late - but that's because it's a holiday (Labour Day), I had a great desire to eat something "ching" and simple ...and so, Teochew Porridge came to my mind. It's been some time since I last cooked that at home.I looked through my freezer and thank goodness there was some minced pork there. So I chopped some "toong-choy" (some kinda pickled preserved veg) and mixed it with the pork, bind it with some cornflour (with salt & soy sauce seasoning) and … [Read more...]

Yesterday morning I went to the Subang Jaya wet market for my weekend marketing jaunt. Being in a wet market always makes me "reckless" in my purchases - everything seems so fresh and tempting!

To help eat and/or finish the food, I invited Z over... and she graciously accepted, despite the very short notice.The menu for the evening … [Read more...]

Some friends from the gym have been wanting to visit me and finally we were able to get all of them together yesterday. Naturally, a visit to my house cannot be without a meal (I think that was the main attraction and not merely just the visit, hehe!).I decided to cook our Malaysian Favourite - Nasi Lemak. I also took the opportunity to invite a few other colleagues who live in the neighbourhood to join in the lunch.The main dish was Chicken Rendang. The spices that went into this dish were … [Read more...]

I’m not a pasta fan but last Friday evening I had a couple of close girlfriends over for a “catching-up/chit-chat” session and they insisted they just wanted a simple meal, preferably pasta. So I decided to cook a very simple spaghetti meal, making use of whatever I had available in the fridge and larder.These were some of the ingredients that went into the spaghetti sauce:As I had lots of fresh tomatoes, I just needed a dash of tomato sauce to thicken the sauce. The minced meat, ham & bacon … [Read more...]

This Leung Kee wantan noodles shop in USJ Taipan has been around for some time and it's one of our favourite places to go to when we need some noodles-fix.

It's located in the row of shophouses facing the main entrance into the Taipan carpark complex.They serve one of the best Braised Chicken Feet ever. We never fail to order this - in fact we always order … [Read more...]
