in food,now I know!,recipe

Dah lama tak main masak-masakkan? Baiklahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hari ini kita akan bersama-sama memasak sup wantan atau wonton soup. Bukan apa, hari tu teringin gila nak makan wonton soup tapi nak makan banyak, selalu dekat kedai dia kasik sikit je, mana cukup. So I decided to look for the recipe at recipezaar and alter it to my liking.

Wonton Soup

Ingredients:

a. for wantan

- wonton skin [boleh beli dekat tesco, dekat bahagian tauhu, giant I am not sure]
- 1/2 Bombay onion [diced]
- mince chicken
- prawns
- mushroom [ swiss brown or white or whatever you like, dice]
- garam

b. for soup

- chicken broth [ aku rebus kaki kayam tapi kalau malas pakai je 2 kiub stok ayam]
- bak choy
- bombay onion [potong bulat]

Cara:-

  • Boil the chicken feet [or whatever you are using to make chicken broth]

    chicken feet

  • Mix all the ingredients for wonton, except the wonton skin of course.

    mix the ingredients

  • Then take a bit of the mixture and place it on the wanton skin. Jangan banyak sangat nanti susah nak kelim.

    place it on the skin

  • Dab some water around the skin and then fold it, hehe ini aku lipat ikut sukati aku je sebab obviously aku tak reti. And the most importnat thing, make sure all the skin stick to each other, or dalam erti lain, kau kelimlah camana-camana pon asalkan melekat.

    folded

  • Continue making as much as you want.

     dah siap!

    Ye aku tau rupa dia keji. Tapi aku dan kak sarah ahnyalah tukang masak biasa je ok, so excuse the ugly result.

  • Then, add the remaining bombay onion and simmer, agak-agak dah masak, masukkan wantan-wantan itu.

    cooking the wonton

    Wantan ni tak lama nak masak, kejap je. Dalam 5-6 minit macam tu dah masak.

  • Finally add bak choy into the soup. Why bak choy? Sebab aku suka rasa dia bila dia dah bercampur dengan soup. Oh ye jangan lupa tambah garam.
  • Hidangkan dan enjoy!

    nyammmm

So for lunch yesterday, we had wonton soup and aglio olion [merah sebab aku sukati letak chilli flakes siam, sedap gila!]. Ye aku tau tak kene tapi setap okies!

lunch

Nyammmmmmmmm.

Adakah saiko?

in personal opinion,review

Antara kegampangan aku yang aku paling benci ialah mood adalah berkadaran dengan movie / lagu / buku cerita.

The other day, someone bought me a Cecilia Ahern giftpack, ada 3 buku la dalam giftpack tu. Bukannya dia suka-suka nak beli aku yang suka-suka nak pow haha. Tapi tak payah kesianla dekat dia, he’s more than willing sebab when I’m glued to the book, he can hog the pc dengan aman dan damai. Macamla aku tak tahu tektik dia kan. Hoh.

Anyway, I finished the second book which by far was the best book by the author, in my opinionlah [I have yet to read the third book]. Well, honestly I find the way she wrote is quite..how to put it ye, macam a bit boringla sometimes. Macam dragging sikit dan windingla, even sikit tapi cukupla nak bagi aku mengantuk 2 -3 kali. Even PS I love you pon macam tu sikit. Unlike Kinsella, ade je benda nak kasi aku gelak or make me anticipate more.

Yes, I am that chic-lit shallow.

Yet this book, If you could see me now macam meninggalkan kesan la pulak. I found myself getting worried and floating while reading the book unlike the previous ones. And as usual when I like any book, I can picture the scenes in my head. Kalau aku tak suka, aku mulalah picture bantal, make up, cara-cara nak makan ice cream tapi boleh kurus cepat dan sebagainya. Starting dia macam starting Ahern yang biasa agak slow but I like the details that was written in this book.

if you could see me now

Most of all I love the storyline  yang unexpected and the author selalu ada ending yang tak cliche except for Where Ranbows End. Tu berdasarkan buku dia yang aku pernah bacalah. I am not going to summarize the content of the book, instead I am going to write my feeling when I read the book. Biasala akukan, mesti nak cerita pasal diri sendiri hehe.

Initially, the book reminded me of the feeling being in love in the initial stage. The feeling that you can’t describe and can’t explain and worst, unsure of. Honestly, I love that feeling. Even now I always reminisce that initial stage when I am alone and find myself smiling. Itu satu perasaan yang sangat manis dan berbunga-bunga kan?

But near to the ending, I started to feel fidgety dan risau and the ending made me cry. Sampai mata aku pedih sebab aku pakai eye balm ni tau, sekali nanges sampai masuk matala pulak. Bongok betul.

And he who was playing the game had to console me sebab agaknya menggelupur tengok apahalla pulak perempuan ni tiba-tiba menangis, apa pulak aku dah buat niiiiiiiiiiiii? Yang  aku niiiiiiiiiiiiii pulakkk, kalau menangis janganla tanya “Why are crying love? ” mulala cakap macam tahaper-haper, suara serak sengau semua keluar.  Sheesh.

I guess he didnt know how to cheer me up till he had to give me to use the pc hehe.

Even then I still feel gloomy and weepy.

Tsk.

What is fucking wrong with me?
