As of late, Paradigm Mall seems to be undergoing renovation with new tenants and food vendors, which earns a much needed thumbs up from me! The latest F&B to join their family was <b>AROI THAI, </b>a Thai food joint.<br />

We ordered the bite-sized Boat Selection of Hot Basil Minced Chicken - Pad Kra Pow Kai - and Green Curry Chicken on Rice, each bowl for RM 1.90. To be honest the colour of the Green Curry didn't excite me - the colour was quite light. Tastewise, I had hope to be hit by a powerful spice kick, but it was quite mild in flavour. The Pad Kraw Pow Kai looks a bit more exciting in terms of colour. Tastewise it didn't taste as fresh as I had hoped; I barely taste the basil, but I felt a slightly fieriness of chilli.</div>

Pad Thai and Red chestnuts dessert. Traditionally, the jackfruit is served with this dessert, instead they had topped it with mango. They had also drizzled the dessert with rose syrup taste, so taste-wise the dessert had an unusual taste compared that we're used to. To me, the Pad Thai had the most flavorful taste out of all the dishes served. It had a vibrant taste based on a squeeze of lime juice, sweetness from the nuts and palm sugar, and a spicy kick thanks to the chilli flakes. There were crunchy elements thanks to the raw beansprouts.</div>

My mom had never been to Japan, and it was an opportune time for all of us to go.<br />
<br />
He had a brief meeting at Odaiba City, so we tagged along to see Odaiba Bay. Post-meeting, we ended up at Sojibo Restaurant, a Halal-certified restaurant located at Odaiba City!<br />

I opted for a simple prawn tempura udon. Unfortunately for presentation sake, when my tempura prawns arrived, the bottom half that was soaked in the broth ended up with a soggy batter.

Generally, Japanese restaurants are very attentive and careful when it comes to Halal concept; if they serve alcohol at the premise, they do mention it, and any alcohol, as well as the glasses used, are stored and prepared in a separate area from the kitchen, such as the note on the bottom right. It's a simple note, but this thoughtful gesture meant a lot to us. It seemed to me they went their extra length to ensure the Halal preparation was very thorough; many restaurants even prepared separate utensils to be used specifically only for Halal meals. </div>

• Value for Money: 5/5</div>

I do believe that Halal food is generally more expensive in Japan especially during dinner time, so expect a meal to be between RM 40 - RM 80. Some no-frills meals were as low as 800 Yen.</div>

Most Japanese restaurants that we dined in was generally spotless.<br /><br />• Service 4/5</div>

We were seated all the way at the back, so it was hard to get the waiter's attention. However, they were very sweet to Imaan. </div>

<div>
Cozy with dimmed lights, packed with diners but not overly noisy.<br /><br />• Overall: 4/5<br />A convenient and cosy spot for Muslims! You can definitely dine-in without was-was. Based on all the other restaurants, this was the only place that had a queue when we left, a positively good sign!</div>

Simple ingredients, and simple methods appeal most to me. Less is better! I got inspired watching Bon Appetit's Molly made a Caesar Salad.<br />

In case you didn't know, I had a bad experience with Caesar Salad a few years back, which caused me to spend almost a week in the loo, and ever since I have avoided the Caesar Salad at all cost. So the fact that Molly made a video which made me want to make the salad dressing says quite a lot! Anyway, the dressing was really zingy and good, and what made me happy was watching my husband enjoying the dressing as well! I modified the recipe slightly from Molly's original recipe.<br />

Comparison of my photo (first photo) versus Bon Appetit's photo (above photo); hope it holds up well!</div>
<h3>
<b>Ingredients</b></h3>
1/2 cup of dried anchovies (ikan bilis), soaked in warm water, then drained<br />
2 garlic cloves<br />
Juice of a whole lemon, squeezed<br />
2 egg yolk<br />
1 tablespoon mustard<br />
2 tablespoon parmesan<br />
Approx 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup vegetable oil<br />
Salt and pepper to taste<br />
3 slices of croutons, torn by hand to 1 inch cubes<br />
Washed & drained 2 Romaine Lettuce Heads, sliced in half<br />
(Optional) Grilled Chicken - I marinated with Nando's Peri-Peri Garlic Sauce, grilled with olive oil<br />
<br />
*Serves 3 - 4 pax*<br />
<h3>
<b>Method</b></h3>
<br />
<ol>
<li>Preheat oven to 150°C; toss crouton on tray and drizzle with olive oil and black pepper; leave to cook in oven for 12 - 15 mins until deep golden; in the meantime, prepare the dressing</li>
<li>Chop up the anchovies</li>
<li>Mince the garlic, add salt, and mix together with the anchovies, transfer to mortar and pestle, grind until garlic is smooth</li>
<li>Transfer to a large bowl; add in yolk and mix with a whisk</li>
<li>Add in the lemon juice and mustard, mix</li>
<li>Slowly add in the oil, one drop at a time, continuously whisky, so the oil and other ingredients doesn't split</li>
<li>Add parmesan, salt and pepper for seasoning accordingly</li>
<li>Preheat griddle pan to high; once smokey, add the romaine heads and turn head to medium-high</li>
<li>Once leaf starts to char, remove from grill. Toss romaine head and croutons in dressing.</li>
<li>Arrange salad, croutons and chicken (optional) on serving plate; top with more parmesan and enjoy!</li>
</ol>
<div>
<b>Verdict</b></div>
<div>
It's definitely something that I can see myself making again in the future for a light lunch. The dressing has a briny and tangy taste that brings the salad to life; the baked crouton is also key here to soak up all the extra dressing! The yolk gave the dressing a rich and deep silky taste. Freshly cracked peppers and Himalayan salt is also key to lifting the dressing. I didn't have any luxurious mustard, just used good ol' mustard squeezed from the bottle!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Tip for Toddlers! </b>As I was slightly afraid of how the raw yolks used in the dressing would affect Imaan, I separated the croutons prior to tossing it with the dressing, and the grilled chicken and served to Imaan. She really enjoyed the croutons!</div>

After seeing it in Jiro Dreams of Sushi, I always knew one day I would make my way there. I was really blown away when my dream turned into reality during our trip to Japan.<br />
<br />
We did quite a bit of research prior to our visit, as we knew the market would be closed on some day. As much as I would have loved to attend the famous tuna auction, with a two year old toddler, waking up as early at 3 AM to be there by 4 AM would have been impossible. The public transportation would not be functioning too early in the wee hours, so we would have had to spend extra money to stay overnight near the area. In the end, we woke up and left our AirBNB around 8 AM.<br />

Along the way to the Tsukiji Wholesale Market (which is a bit of a walk from Tsukiji Commercial Market), we saw protesters who were against the move of the fish market to a newer area. The reason behind this was Tsukiji was taking up valuable real estate closer to the city center, and there was a proposal to move the fish market to Toyosu. As it's considered a cultural icon, and the move many affect many businesses, it's not surprising that there have been many protests against the move.</div>

She woke up when her miso soup arrived. Do bear in mind that miso paste produces ethanol alcohol naturally during the fermentation process. Based on our understanding, as it was produced naturally and consuming it does not cause intoxication, it is permissible to consume. In addition, the alcohol content evaporates upon reaching 70°C. However, I do believe there are others who may be more strict when it comes to miso consumption, so to each their own. As I felt Imaan is still quite young to eat raw seafood (which we could opt for), I do believe that it was reasonable for her to consume miso soup.</div>

I opted for this ocean treasure, I think it was around 2000 Yen (RM 66). Everything was utterly divine. I got the ocean brininess from the salmon roe, and the minced tuna was absolutely divine; it tasted a bit bland, but in a good way. I really loved the shrimp, it's sweet without being overpowering.</div>

Our loot from the market. The uni had a custard-like texture, tasted creamy and briny. It's good to eat on it's own. The oyster was gigantic, creamy, briny and juicy - no doubt, the freshest oysters we have ever eaten. The tuna had a pleasant, meaty taste with a mild flavor, it was gone within the day. Over the course of the next few days, we enjoyed the roes and the pollock eggs raw with rice, or fried in rice. 2 days later my brother and husband already had enough of the sashimi.</div>

<b><u>TOP 5 TIPS FOR TRAVELLING TO TSUKIJI FISH MARKET WITH A TODDLER</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<ol>
<li style="text-align: left;">Bring only a baby carrier. Easier to handle your child safely.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">If you must bring a stroller (as we did), bring a foldable and lightweight stroller (we used Mothercare XS).</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Have lots of wet wipes handy, as your child may be inquisitive to touch raw seafood.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Be respectful of the vendors; make sure to watch your child diligently as it is a very busy market, do stay out of their way, especially those on motorized vehicles who may not be able to react as fast.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">If your child can already walk, make sure he/ she is wearing proper walking shoes that have a strong grip, as the market floor can be slippery.</li>
</ol>

We landed at Narita after 6 hours on Malaysia Airlines (my preferred airlines). As we purchased the Japan Railway Pass online prior to our visit, we had to exchange our Order Pass at the JR Office at the airport.<br />
<br />
As we were using the JR Pass, we decided to take the Narita Expres (NEX) train from Narita Airport, - Tokyo, as the NEX was inclusive on the JR Pass, to head to our accomodation near Asakusa.<br />

Little did we know that there were TWO Asakusa Stations; we took the one via Tokyo Metro Line, which was further away, compared to another Asakusa Station via Toei Subway Lines, which was closer to our accomodation. We had quite a walk ahead of us...</div>

It was quite late at this time, and there were drunk locals walking around post work, but they were harmless and quite friendly. They waved to Imaan in her stroller and said, kawaiii~~. It was such a warm welcome to Japan!<br />

Sambal Che Nor (available at major petrol stations), with sambal belimbing and sambal ikan bilis from Malaysia - whch was in my mom's secret brown bag - which we ate with precooked rice and pickled cucumbers that we bought from one of the convenience stores. The Sambal Che Nor became quite a staple during our meals at our AirBNB homes.</div>

<b><u>Other Notes</u></b></div>
<ul>
<li>Muslim Travellers - there are a few Halal restaurants around Asakusa neighborhood, so I would recommend to stay here. Tao's place also has a rice cooker, and you can use the stove for some lightcooking, so I would recommend this place for other Muslim travellers!</li>
<li>Stairs, no lift -Lucky my mom is quite fit, and my brother came a long for the trip to help us haul luggage, the stroller and Imaan up and down the stairs (there are no lifts at this apartment - there are 3 flights of stairs).</li>
</ul>
<div>
For those wondering, we stayed 5D4N at Tao's place via AirBNB:<br />

"Nasi lemak", which literally translates to Fat Rice in English, is a popular and signature dish in Malaysia, typically served for breakfast. You can find different versions of this within almost 5 km radius anywhere in KL on a normal weekday. Traditionally, it was eaten by our ancestors as breakfast due to the labour-intensive work they had to do during the day, such as rubber tapping, agriculture, carpentry etc - and nasi lemak fuelled their daily activity. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Usually, nasi lemak's main focus is the rice, cooked in coconut milk, along with its' other condiments, mainly the sambal (spicy dried chilli sauce), boiled egg, fried anchovies, cucumber, and peanuts. Sometimes it is also served with other protein such as fried chicken (which you can see above), rendang, gulai<i> </i>and other dishes. I tend to get breakouts when I eat ground peanuts, so I usually never include it when I prepare nasi lemak at home. As it is a rather tedious cooking method, I cook this maybe once or twice a month. This is the most fuss free recipe to satisfy your nasi lemak craving.</div>

<b>Cooking Methods</b></div>
<div>
<ol>
<li>The first thing I get out of my way is to wash the rice and soak the rice in water for ten minutes. I also tend to prepare cili kisar/ dried chilli paste on the day when I am cooking nasi lemak.</li>
<li>Mix all the ingredients together for the rice into a rice cooker and leave to cook. My rule of thumb is dip my index finger on the rice and fill the water up until the first joint closest to the nail. Then I will add the coconut milk (if it's thick). However, if I am using coconut milk from the box, it's more watery, so I will use it in lieu of water, and add water to the empty box and add to the rice.</li>
<li>Heat a pan over medium fire. Add vegetable oil, you're gonna need a lot. If you use a lot of oil, your sambal will not cook properly.</li>
<li>Add the ingredients you blended earlier for the sambal. Keep an eye and stir continuously for at least 10 minutes. I've added in photos below for you to roughly know how the visual should look like when adding in the next ingredients.</li>
<li>Add the cili kisar/ dried chilli paste. Slightly reduce the fire and let it simmer. Stir continuously and do not let your pan burn! </li>
<li>After simmering around 15 - 20 minutes, add the tamarind paste you soaked with water. Do not add the tamarind seeds. Add water if you need to.</li>
<li>Let the sambal simmer for an additional 20 minutes. Cook it with love! Relax. Finish other household chores. Work on other condiments. Don't rush the sambal, it's one of the main components of the dish.</li>
<li>Add the onion and shallot rings. Let it caramalize slowly.</li>
<li>Towards the end, season the dish with the sugar and salt. You will know it's cooked when you don't taste the rawness of the onions/ chilli, the oil has risen to the top, and it tastes good (general rule of thumb lol).</li>
<li>For the anchovy, to make it crispy and crunchy, it's really simple. Clean the anchovy (by cutting it in half and removing its' poop chute), then let it soak in cold water for 10 minutes. Heat a small pan over low - medium heat. Add around 1 cm of oil (enough for the anchovy to be fried in). Once you feel the heat from the oil, add the anchovy, let it cook for around a minute. The best way to test if it's cooked to your crunchy preference is to taste one for yourself.</li>
<li>For the fried chicken, wash, and clean your chicken (remove any offals), drain. Try to dry your chicken as much as possible. Season with salt and turmeric powder. For the best simple fried chicken, add vegetable oil into a small pan (around 2 cm height of the pan), and put on high heat. As soon as you see the oil starts to smoke, add your chicken skin side down. Once you have added all the chicken into your pan (cook in batches if you need to), wait for 2 - 3 minutes or until you can see the skin crisp up before flipping the chicken over. After waiting 2 - 3 minutes, reduce the heat to medium low and turn the chicken over again. Let it cook for at least 4 - 6 minutes (depends on the size of the chicken) before turning it over again. Once cooked (pierce thickest part of chicken with a knife; if the juice runs clear, it's cooked), place it on kitchen towel for it to soak up the excess oil.</li>
<li>For the ground peanuts, just roast it on a dry pan over low heat until the outer skin starts to flake of.</li>
</ol>
<b>Notes</b></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>You can refrigerate the rice and sambal. </li>
<li>Plan your cooking time properly so you don't exhaust yourself too much in the kitchen! Do read through and understand the steps required so you can time and pace yourself properly.</li>

Add in the tamarind paste to the sambal. It will make the sambal more sour, reduce the spiciness and give it a more dark, deep and rich colour. Add little by little and taste; adjust based on your taste preference.</div>

<i>Cili Kisar</i> (<i>Cili Giling</i> in the supermarkets), or Homemade Dried Chilli Paste is a staple in Malaysian recipes. This is the base for many <i>sambal </i>(Chilli) dishes in Malaysia. It's a relatively easy item to make, except for the fact that your hands will be "heaty" for a while, so you can't rub your eyes, touch your skin or take a shower for a good while. When I was younger, I hated making cili kisar because my mom would make me cut the chillies and I would sweat profusely and rub my eyes afterwards.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
You can use it for <i><a href="https://latteandfrap.blogspot.my/2017/08/recipe-rendang-ayam-chicken-rendang.html" target="_blank">rendang</a>, <a href="https://latteandfrap.blogspot.my/2017/08/recipe-rendang-ayam-chicken-rendang.html" target="_blank">masak hitam</a>, sambal </i>dishes and many other Malaysian dishes. It keeps in the fridge for one week and freezes well too (freeze in portions!). I always only make one portion because I dislike cutting so much of the chillies and deseeding them. Some people don't cut them, some people don't boil them (they just soak them in hot water) but I prefer cooking it to be safe and to reduce the spice level.</div>

<ol>
<li><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Cardo; font-size: x-small;">Cut the dried chillies in half, vertically. Remove the seeds.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Cardo; font-size: x-small;">To remove excess seeds, I also run the cut chillies through a salad strainer.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Cardo; font-size: x-small;">Leave to boil for at least 10 minutes over medium heat. Make sure there is enough water (as the chilli will soak up the water).</span></li>

Fish & Co. is a casual, full service family chain restaurant that serves seafood in a pan. Once in a while, we would visit Fish & Co. whenever we had a seafood craving. As seafood is quite costly nowadays in whatever restaurant you frequent, it's an indulgent treat for us once in a while. Which was why we were excited to discover the promotion of the Cheesemeltz series with 30% discount.</div>

I added on Soup Of The Day (Fish Chowder) + Drink (Orange Juice) to my meal so my daughter could enjoy some seafood goodness. The soup is has thick texture, but every bite is a mouthful of seafood explosion in your mouth. It has a very creamy taste. For RM 10.95, it's a good deal as the soup itself is a big portion.</div>

My order of Ebiko Gratin. I ordered it not knowing what to expect. The grilled white fish was cooked perfectly, however I found the Ebiko Gratin topping to be slightly sweet to my liking (I think it was the mayonnaise sauce?). The ebiko provided nice surprise element of saltiness. Promo Price RM 18.85, Original Price RM 26.95.</div>

<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;">Considering the promo was for the cheesemeltz series, they offered a good mix of cheesy offerings (there was also Pesto Parmesan and Grilled Parmesan), maybe they could offer different types of fish to cater to those whose tastebuds are not so white fish-inclined.</li>

I had some blueberries in my fridge (RM 6.90 per pack! So cheap!) and my daughter was a little fussy as she had a cough and was teething (what a terrible combination) so I searched for an easy blueberry muffin recipe online to get her to eat more antioxidants (she won't eat the blueberries on its' own). What's worse is the blueberry stains she left on the carpet trying to destroy it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The recipe from <a href="http://allrecipes.com/recipe/6865/to-die-for-blueberry-muffins/">AllRecipes.com </a>claimed to be To Die For Blueberry Muffins, and definitely was true! It had a crumbly sugary top (upon baking I realised how this recipe was not waistline-friendly) unlike other muffin recipes. I'm not a baker at all but it's really easy to follow so if you're not so confident with baking (I have zero confidence!), and have any blueberries in your cupboard then this recipe is perfect!</div>

<b>Cooking Methods</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
</div>
<ol>
<li><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "cardo"; font-size: x-small;">Preheat oven to 200<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13.199999809265137px;">°C. Grease a muffin pan with butter/ cooking spray/ use muffin cups.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "cardo"; font-size: x-small;">In a big mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients of Part 1. Avoid overmixing the mixture.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "cardo"; font-size: x-small;">Place all the ingredients of Part 2 into a cup and mix well. Add to the bowl containing Part 1 ingredients.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "cardo"; font-size: x-small;">Fold in the blueberries into the bowl of mixed ingredients. </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "cardo"; font-size: x-small;">Avoid overmixing the mixture.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "cardo"; font-size: x-small;">Using two spoons, scoop the mix into your muffin pan/ muffin cups.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "cardo"; font-size: x-small;">To make the crumb topping, mix together the ingredients from Part 3 in a separate bowl with a fork, and sprinkle over your muffin mixture.</span></li>
</ol>
<div>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "cardo"; font-size: x-small;"><b>Notes</b></span></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "cardo"; font-size: x-small;">For the Crumb Topping, I ran out of flour and used too much butter. I would actually suggest reducing the quantity as I had a lot of balance leftover of crumb topping.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "cardo"; font-size: x-small;">Double the recipe to double the muffin quantity.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "cardo"; font-size: x-small;">I think it can keep for 3 days, maybe maximum 4 days.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "cardo"; font-size: x-small;">Stains like crazy... so careful when giving it to walking, crawling infants haha</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "cardo"; font-size: x-small;">In the future I would find a way to make it more waistline-friendly, maybe reduce the sugar or substitute the sugar with honey</span></li>
</ul>

Bigger photo for you to see how the muffin looks like once it's done. A tad brown, but the inside was light and fluffy (I tore one on the left side for comparison)! The crumb topping was to die for; it was crunchy, sweet, salty, like a sweet version of a Parmesan Crisp.</div>

So the latest food craze (because in Malaysia, 90% of the things that go viral are food-based) is McDonald's Spicy Korean Burger. It was so popular, that it was temporarily unavailable for a while. The first time I had it was on a trip to Pahang, and I had half the burger after my mom and aunt decided to have a "bite" (equals half the burger). To my recollection, my half of the burger tasted quite good even though I only ate it 30 minutes after purchasing it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
So when I wanted to purchase it again, the burger was unavailable. I was quite happy to hear the news that it was available again, so I headed to McD to tapao the lunch meal.</div>

By the time I returned to my office, the chips/ fries looked exactly like the photo, the drink had melted slightly so it was more pale, and the burger was waiting to be unveiled...</div>

Messy. Sloppy. Full of crunchy veggies as seen in the photo. The charcoal bun is as black as in the photo. There was sauted onions and some bright orange sauce slopped onto the burger.</div>

My first bite into the burger was as memorable as the first time I had it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;">The beef patty was still warm and juicy. It was quite thick, and not thin as other regular burgers. The burger patty itself was full of spice and flavour, so you could have Oriental influences in every bite.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">The sauce was, I'm sure, kimchi-inspired. To me, it reminded me of the Samyang noodles. The spice level increased more and more with every bite. Suddenly, the spice had creeped up to me, and hit me smack, bang, on my tongue, to the point where I turned to my collegue and said, OMG IT'S REALLY SPICY. Do bear in mind that after I gave birth, my spice level somehow reduced and I tend to find food that I would normally find not spicy (prior to giving birth) now spicy.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">The vegetables consisted of crunchy lettuce head and purple lettuce, with julienned carrots to add a much needed crunch to the burger and also to cool down the spice from the sauce. </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">The saluted and caramelised onion added a touch of sweetness to the burger, adding a great balance of sweet to the savoury dish.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">The charcoal burger itself was a regular burger bun, except for the colour, reminiscent of the charcoal colour. </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">As you can see from the photo below, eating the burger was a messy affair, with the sauce dripping everywhere.</li>
</ul>

<li><b>Variety: N/A</b></li>
<li><b>Taste: 4/5</b></li>
<ul>
<li>It was spicy for sure, but each bite was a lovely harmony between all the saltiness of the beef, the freshness of the veggies and the sweetness from the sauted onions. The sauce added that Asian kick of Korean spice to the burger.</li>
</ul>
<li><b>Value for Money: 3.5/5</b></li>
<ul>
<li>I do believe paying RM 16++ for a burger set from a fast food restaurant is a tad pricey, even if the burger was big.</li>
</ul>
<li><b>Cleanliness: N/A</b></li>

<li>I would have the burger again. However, I do wish they had a poultry version of the burger to appeal to Malaysians who can't eat beef during to religious purposes.</li>

I love <i>ikan siakap </i>(seabass), whether fried or steamed. Usually at home, I'll steam it because it's really easy to do. Frying requires old and turmeric and is generally messy, so I'm lazy to clean the aftermath haha. It's really easy and healthy, and you only need a few ingredients.</div>

<b>Ingredients</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 whole siakap (seabass) - get the fishmonger to remove stomach & remove scales</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Garlic - around 2 cloves</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Ginger - 2 inches, sliced into long thin strips</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Salt + white pepper</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Sesame oil</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Light soya sauce</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Coriander leaves (optional)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Spring onion (optional)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Cooking Method</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ol>
<li>Wash the fish properly and add some diagonal cuts into the fillets. Dry fish</li>
<li>Add water to your steamer base and let it boil.</li>
<li>Season the fish with salt and white pepper. </li>
<li>Rub a dash of olive oil, sesame oil and light soya sauce onto the fish</li>
<li>Place the coriander roots, spring onion roots and half the ginger and garlic into the fish belly. </li>
<li>Place the remaining half of the ginger and garlic, and coriander leaves and spring onion leaves below the fish and on top of the fish.</li>
<li>Place your fish plate on top of the steamer strainer; cover and let it steam for 8 - 12 minutes depending on fish size.</li>
<li>Carefully take out the fish plate once it's cooked and let it cool for several minutes.</li>
<li>Eat while it's hot.</li>
</ol>
<div>
<b>Notes</b></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>To see if the fish is cooked, check the inside of the belly. It should be white. If it's still pale, it needs a longer cooking time.</li>
<li>To pick the freshest fish, check that the eyes are still clear; the gills are more red than pink; and the body is still quite firm to the touch.</li>
<li>You may opt to fry the garlic slices prior to adding it to the fish.</li>
</ul>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
MyeongDong Topokki was one of the small stalls I didn't notice until my business partners invited me for lunch there. As I live nearby, I didn't mind trying out MyeongDong Topokki for the first time. I'm not really a Korean food expert; the only Korean food I enjoyed previously was at a restaurant at Tropicana City Mall, which has since shut down.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was pleasantly surprised by the menu.</div>
<br />
According to their website:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
THE ORIGIN of Topokki goes back to 1950s where it was first introduced to masses. This chewy rice cakes drenched with spicy red chili sauce derives from the royal household and it was a part of school lunches among students bringing back nostalgic memories.</blockquote>

The beef marinade was perfectly balanced; you can taste the sweet soya sauce and garlic. The beef itself was tender and cooked perfectly. I loved the addition of the glass noodles. The vegetables such as carrots and cabbages added a crunchy texture to the dish.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I ordered this dish. For such a small bowl, there was so much treasures in the soup. I loved discovering all the delicious veggies in ever scoop. The chicken taste in the dish was nothing to shout about (boneless + skinless chicken fillets which was overcooked, probably due to the long cooking in the soup) but the soup itself was really delicious.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: center;">I loved all the side dishes that came with all the MDT Value Set. The anchovies were slightly salty, but the nuts added a nice sweet bite. The kimchi was pickled cabbage goodness adding a great tang to every bite, and the crunchy veggies was cooked perfectly (many restaurants tend to overcook the veggies).</span></div>
<br />
Claiming to be a premier Fast Casual Korean restaurant, their menu focuses heavily offering topokki (Tteok-bokki) or stir-fried rice cakes, along with other Korean food such as<i> ramyun </i>noodles, <i>jabchae </i>(korean glass noodles), <i>bibimbap</i> (rice served in a stone pot and layered with vegetables and meat), bulgogi (marinated meat served with rice), and kimchi jjigae (kimchi soup).<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
They offer value sets (which comes with condiments/ side dishes such as Kimchi for Kimchi addicts + drinks), as well as add-ons such as extra cheese, fried egg and rice ranging from RM 1 - RM 2. The price range is from RM 6.80 for topokki and roughly between RM 15.00 - RM 20.00 for a noodle/ rice value set which comes with 3 side dishes and 1 drink. They also offer popular Korean Street Food options.</div>

<ol>
<li><b>Variety: 4/5</b></li>
<ul>
<li>The menu stayed true to Korean cuisine and offered noodles and rice to appeal to different tastebuds, with optional add ons. I loved that they had affordable Korean street food options</li>
</ul>
<li><b>Taste: 4/5</b></li>
<ul>
<li>Really love the taste for all the food I have tasted so far. I actually went back and ate with another friend a few days later. The kimchi (always the star) and the food is always consistently good.</li>
</ul>
<li><b>Value for Money: 3.5/5</b></li>
<ul>
<li>For a "premier Fast Casual Korean Restaurant", the prices are a little steep for a casual restaurant with small dining space and self-service. </li>
</ul>
<li><b>Cleanliness: 5/5</b></li>
<ul>
<li>It's a small space so I guess hygiene and cleanliness is easy to maintain. </li>
</ul>
<li><b>Service 5/5</b></li>
<ul>
<li>As they don't charge service tax/ charge, you can't fault with the service. The staff are friendly and will call your number once your food is ready. My food was ready within 10 minutes of ordering.</li>
</ul>
<li><b>Overall: 4.5/5</b></li>

I'm always trying to find easy and baby-friendly recipes for my daughter. During the weekend, we tend to eat a lot of junk and unhealthy food as we're always at wedding receptions and just generally out seeing people, so I'll try to feed her healthier food during the weekdays when I send her to her nursery. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Asian food generally is high in carbs (porridge/ congee) for babies, mashed potatoes etc - so I was trying to find a recipe to incorporate more protein and veggies, and I found a really great recipe from <a href="https://foodbabieslove.com.au/chicken-nuggets/">foodbabieslove.com.au</a> for chicken nuggets, coincidentally I had all the ingredients in my fridge. My daughter's also at the age where she prefers to feed herself, so porridge can get a little messy. These nuggets are convenient and great for babies who wants their little independence.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The recipe is really easy to follow and produce - although I would probably sub the onions and garlic with powder next time. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>Prep Time: 8 minutes</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>Cooking Time: 15 - 20 minutes</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>Ingredients:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
300 - 400 grams chicken breast/ minced chicken</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
2/3 of a whole zucchini, diced (1/2 cup)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
1 Garlic clove, diced finely</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
1/2 White Onion, diced finely</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
1 Slice of Bread, diced and soaked in 50 ml of milk</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
1/2 cup grated cheese</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
1 whole egg</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
2 tablespoon cornstarch</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>Cooking Method</b></div>
<br />
<ol>
<li>Preheat oven to 180°C. Line oven tray with aluminium foil.</li>
<li>Mix the chicken together with the onion, garlic and zucchini in a mixing bowl.</li>
<li>Add in the egg, cheese, cornflour, and bread. Season with salt if you prefer.</li>
<li>Scoop tablespoon of the mixture onto the oven tray. Place on the lowest level in the oven.</li>
<li>Cook for 15 - 20 minutes. Wait until cool before serving.</li>
</ol>
<b>Additional Notes</b><br />
<div>
<ul>
<li>If you can't get minced chicken, you can get chicken fillet/ chicken breast, cut it into small dices and blender it in small batches.</li>
<li>I wouldn't suggest adding chicken skin as it can get tangled in the blender blades and reduce efficiency.</li>
<li>You can sub the onion and garlic for powder version.</li>
<li>You can freeze the nuggets (wait for it to cool completely) and add a lining of plastic in between the layers (so it doesn't stick together). Reheat in microwave for 1 - 2 minutes to serve. I usually reheat it and wait for it to cool before adding it into my daughter's lunchbox.</li>
</ul>

I am always seen wearing a Lady Qomash brand shawl. I own no other brands for shawls asides from Lady Qomash, and own all basics and printed shawls - square and rectangular. My favourite collection is the Hydrangea collection - you can see me wearing them at least once weekly.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Have you heard of Lady Qomash? If you haven't, you need to know more about this unique brands. Founded by Liyana, an artist with arts and illustration background, LQ was a pioneer brand in Malaysia to produce shawls with prints that was hand-drawn, before it was digitally scanned and produced into fashionable apparels.</div>

What makes Lady Qomash so special is all the art pieces are painstakingly hand-drawn. During it's launch years (2016 onwards), it focuses on shawls (square and rectangular), to provide elegance to the modern Muslimah wear and boost confidence, making you glow and your day shine. LQ was also the first to focus on beautiful florals, especially Hydrangeas. Only now, the Malaysian fashion scene is bursting with hydrangea inspiration.<br />

All Lady Qomash shawls are high quality, undergoing stringent quality checks to ensure there are no defects, especially "wonky" shawls, which are more common amongst some other brands.<br />

The few things that I rate my experiences are:<br />
<ol>
<li>Easy access from parking spaces to lifts/ travelators</li>
<li>Baby-friendly toilets (big space for me to bring in my daughter if I am using a stroller)</li>
<li>Baby rooms with hot water facilities</li>
<li>Malls with restaurants/ eateries that are wallet-friendly</li>
<li>The mall must have a supermarket</li>
<li>Baby shops</li>
<li>Department Store</li>
</ol>
<div>
As we live in Selangor, we are spoiled with choice for baby-friendly malls. On weekend, I like to explore the new shopping malls and do my weekly groceries. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My most recent exploration was at Atria Shopping Mall, Damansara Jaya last Sunday since my husband had work nearby the area. When I was younger, I remember it being a very crowded and tight places. Atria was renovated to become a modern and bigger shopping mall.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Immediately when I arrived, I tried to locate the Baby Room, which was on the second floor.</div>

The front of the Baby Room. I was actually a little confused how to open the door as there was no handles. I pushed it until I realised you had to slide it open.<br />

Close up of the menu. I took a Classic Iced Coffee. As far as the taste goes, it was pretty authentic. Although, to me, the brand name is a little baffling as the name Milano Coffee makes me think of Italian coffee, as opposed to Vietnamese Coffee. I didn't take a photo because my daughter was a little restless at this point.</div>

<li>Easy access from parking spaces to lifts/ travelators - 4/5</li>
<ol>
<li>Not 5/5 because it's a tight squeeze from the elevator (it's blocked by fire escape doors - not sure why)</li>
</ol>
<li>Baby-friendly toilets (big space for me to bring in my daughter if I am using a stroller) - 3.5/5</li>
<ol>
<li>Nice facilities but they should make it available on all floors - also, not every floor had stroller-friendly toilets</li>
</ol>
<li>Baby rooms with hot water facilities - 4.5/ 5 </li>
<ol>
<li>Not 5/5 because it was a tight squeeze - they should add chairs for dads who need to accompany the moms</li>
</ol>
<li>Malls with restaurants/ eateries that are wallet-friendly - 5/5</li>
<ol>
<li>There was a variety of shops for all types of budget. Super like!</li>

My daughter is getting to that age where her learning development is rapidly increasing and sometimes I catch myself thinking wow, when did she learn to do that? It seemed like it was only yesterday that she was so dependent on us, unable to walk or incapable of eating. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Now, she's almost 16 months old and she's walking, refusing to hold my hands, reading books the wrong way up, eating stuff off the floor (... yeah... so we have to keep the floor very clean). She's doing something new every other day and growing up so fast, she's not as little as she used to be...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
So recently we were at a wedding reception, and she was walking around with a drumstick in her hands, a first for her.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Rendang is a traditional recipe, very famous in Malaysia and Indonesia. The origins of the dish varies (depending on which country/ nationality you ask!) but one thing is certain: rendang is very delicious. It is a little time-consuming to cook, and requires a certain labour of love. I know there are chefs out there who have claimed to create "time saving rendang" where they omit certain ingredients or reduce the cooking time; to each its' own, but generally rendang is known to take at least 2 hours to cook.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Depending from which state you are in Malaysia, the ingredients might very slightly, but the main ingredients should include meat, coconut milk, and kerisik (grated and toasted coconut - it's different from dessicated coconut). Some people tend to omit the <i>kerisik</i> as it provides a nutty depth to the rendang. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
During <i>Hari Raya Aidilfitri (eid al-Fitr), </i>rendang is traditionally served with "nasi himpit" (compact rice cubes) or "lemang" (glutinous rice + coconut milk cooked in bamboo hollows), but it's also a famous dish eaten with one of our top national breakfast, "nasi lemak" (literally means fat rice). You may eat this with bread as a snack. Rendang is really flexible, and you may opt to use beef instead of chicken. My grandma makes duck rendang every eid. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>Ingredients</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
2 whole chicken - I used a mix of chicken thigh </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
1 dried tamarind slice (asam keping)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Kaffir lime leaves - 2 - 3 pieces whole (daun limau purut)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Fresh turmeric leaves - 3 pieces - slice roughly (daun kunyit)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Fresh coconut milk (santan) - around 1 cup</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
2 - 3 tablespoon roasted coconut (kerisik - adjust based on your taste preference)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
1 lemongrass stalk - bruise the thick part of the stalk with a pestle or something equally heavy</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Palm sugar or brown sugar</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Blend together/ or using a mortar and pestle, beat together:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
1 whole big red onion (bawang merah besar)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
4 - 5 shallots (bawang merah kecik)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
3 - 5 garlic cloves (bawang putih)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
4 lemongrass stalks, cut roughly first (serai)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
2 inch ginger (halia)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
2 inch galangal (lengkuas)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
1.5 inch fresh turmeric (kunyit hidup) or equivalent of turmeric powder</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
30 green birds' eye chilli OR your own home made <i>cili kisar </i>OR <i>cili giling </i>- adjust based on spice preference</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>Cooking Methods:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ol>
<li>Heat some oil in a pan. Over medium heat, add your blended items with the bruised lemograss + kaffir lime leaves. Stir continuously, making sure not to burn the items. You want to saute the ingredients, not burn it. I prefer to cook over medium low heat for a while so the onions cook properly - around 20 minutes. The Malay term is "naik minyak" which means when the ingredients have sauted properly, you will see the oil rise to the top over the ingredients, and the beautiful aroma of the ingredients rises.</li>
<li>Add in the chicken parts and let it simmer. Stir continuously. Depending on your pan/ stove, your dish may burn easily (as you can see, some of my chicken skin burned when I left the stove to do other chores for just mere minutes). After a while, the liquid level will rise. This is due to the water and fat content from the chicken. Stir continously until chicken cooks.</li>
<li>Once your chicken has cooked, reduce the heat/ fire until it's just enough to stay lit, and add in your coconut milk. Add 1 cup of water to the plastic/ container that contained the fresh milk and add to the dish. Stir continuously, this part takes around 1 hour, depending on meat quantity and how patient you are to wait. At this point, the gravy tastes sooooo gooooood and is sooo thick.</li>
<li>Once the sauce is cooked to your preference (some like it dried, I like it with more liquid gravy to pour over my rice), add in the dried tamarind slice, sugar (I omit sugar for my dish), salt, and stir for around 5 - 10 minutes for the kerisik to mingle with the dish properly.</li>
<li>Lastly, add in the fresh turmeric leaves, let it cook for 3 minutes and then turn off the heat.</li>
</ol>
<div>
<b>Additional Notes:</b></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>You may blend the ingredients together or use a mortar and pestle (that's the traditional way) - but I'm a lazy cook hahah</li>
<li>Wash your chicken and remove the innards and offals to make the dish stay fresh longer. Wash it properly and strain it properly. Season your chicken with salt if you prefer, prior to adding it to the dish.</li>
<li>I used birds eye chilli + mix of my own home made <i>cili kisar.</i></li>
<li><i><span style="font-style: normal; text-align: justify;">Some people use birds eye chilli, some use </span><i style="text-align: justify;">cili giling</i><span style="font-style: normal; text-align: justify;"> (store bought dried chilli paste which has been boiled and blended) or homemade </span><i style="text-align: justify;">cili kisar</i><span style="font-style: normal; text-align: justify;">. I made my rendang using around 2 kg mix of chicken thigh + drumstick. Also best if you used chicken on bones, as it stays more juicy and moist due to the long cooking time.</span></i></li>
<li>Orang tua kata (old folks say), to make your dish stay fresh longer, make sure the oil is hot when you add the blended ingredients. If you need any additional oil, preheat the oil in other saucepan.</li>
<li>I actually remove my chicken once it's cooked to let the gravy simmer and cook as I want to avoid overcooking my chicken.</li>
<li>To make your own <i>cili kisar, </i>cut two cups of dried chilli in half each and remove the seeds. Let it boil in a saucepan until it softens. Strain, let it cool and then blender to a fine paste (add water if required). You can freeze it or keep it in the fridge.</li>
<li>For a healthier option, you may choose to use yoghurt instead of coconut milk, but for authenticity sake I have used coconut milk.</li>
<li>Orang tua kata, to make the dish stay fresh longer, preheat the coconut milk in another saucepan over low heat before adding it to the dish, but I usually just add in the coconut milk unheated because that's just too much work for me</li>
</ul>

Generally, I don't cook beef much as it's pricey, and most Malaysian recipes require at least 1 kg of fresh beef block. My parents are most gracious to give us beef and bones (especially for Imaan to place in her porridge), so I have a little stock of it at home.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I came home without defrosting anything or buying anything from the market, so I was glad to have some frozen beef. The fastest way to thaw beef is by placing it in a plastic bag and leaving it in a small container of running water.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
This recipe was taken and adapted from the awesome <a href="http://aziejaya.blogspot.my/2015/07/daging-masak-hitam-yang-serius-sedap.html" target="_blank">Azie Kitchen</a>. Azie calls it Daging Masak Hitam but some may call it Daging Masak Kicap. I have digressed. Try this simple recipe, it's quite easy to make!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>Ingredients</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
300 - 400 gram beef, sliced into medium slices(suitable for 2 portion - I used batang pinang cut)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Some thick soy sauce (Azie uses 1/2 bottle but I reduced it)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Palm sugar/ brown sugar/ sugar</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Tamarind juice</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Optional: Big red onion, sliced into rings (I didn't add)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Blender together the following ingredients (add water if your blender needs the help):</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
4 lemongrass stalks</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
5 dried chilli (adjust based to preferred spice level)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
2 inch ginger</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
1 big Holland onion/ yellow onion</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
4 candlenuts (for texture, if you can't get it just omit)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
4 garlic cloves</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>Cooking Method</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ol>
<li>Heat some oil in your pan and fry the beef slices - remove the meat from the pan as soon as it turns brown. Azie continues to cook with the beef, but I prefer to remove it from the heat to avoid overcooking the meat.</li>
<li>Using the same oil used to fry the meat, add in the ingredients you blended and saute until it cooks - in Bahasa Malaysia, we use the term, <i>naik minyak </i>- which means when the items are sauted perfectly.</li>
<li>Add in the soya sauce, tamarind juice, and season with salt and sugar. Be careful not to add too much salt as the soya sauce is already salty. </li>
<li>I add in the beef at the end but it's really up to you!</li>
</ol>

Ever since I became a mom, it became harder for me to go to shopping malls because I want to buy every cute dress and top I see for my daughter.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<img alt="" height="479" id="id_a7fd_1504_5805_39c5" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKZEEZWVDEL5Jkf6jwUpx1HCjJjBENRqkbk4Rb6sKHFtXUpNr_JAiw3r1A2PH7TffkA-bc6LVv3VQvsjMl-T-Jqg64BZ6Hz3PE8gVvGscI9mRQGEOwSexpA0yOHsJMMXIXGnA8wXqKU00/s640/%255BUNSET%255D" style="height: auto; width: 298px;" title="" tooltip="" width="640" /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I always have to remind myself that she's growing really fast and there's no point investing in an RM 80.00 dress which she will wear once or twice vs all the items I can get with that one dress. It's also so much harder with girls because everything is too cute. Designers are becoming smarter and making cute dresses with attached handbags and pockets so sucker moms like me can't resist.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I actually prefer to buy tops and leggings for her so it's easier to send her to the nursery - no double or triple thinking too long, just chuck her clothes in. It's only when I noticed her clothes begin to show signs of wear and tear that I will look for new clothes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But time to time there's always irresistible great bargains... like these clothes for 50% off from normal price. What's a mom to do but not resist haha. The tops were RM 10.00 each. Daddy's Little Sunshine with the pants was RM 10.00, and the tutu top/skants was RM 15.00. From Tesco!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Essentially, I was bored of the normal lemon + garlic roast chicken, so once day I googled roast chicken recipes and stumbled upon Jamie Oliver's <a href="http://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/chicken-recipes/empire-roast-chicken/" target="_blank">Empire Roast Chicken</a>. I had almost 95% of the ingredients so proceeded to try it out. The first time I made it, I only marinaded it for 15 minutes, but the second time I made the chicken, I marinaded it before I went to work and cooked it around 10 hours after marinading it. The several hours of marinading really did the trick as the chicken was more juicy and the flavors burst through the chicken.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>Ingredients:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
1 whole chicken - roughly 1.6 kg ++</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
1 heaped tablespoon fresh ginger grated or chopped finely - roughly 1.5 inch</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
1 heaped tablespoon garlic, grated or chopped finely - roughly 3 cloves</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
1 fresh chilli, grated (I couldn't grate it so I just roughly chopped it)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
1 heaped teaspoon turmeric powder (I also added fresh grated turmeric)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
1 heaped teaspoon garam masala</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
1 heaped teaspoon ground coriander - I didn't add but I'm sure it would be a great addition</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
1 heaped teaspoon ground cumin </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
1 heaped tablespoon tomato puree</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
2 heaped tablespoon natural yoghurt</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
1 whole lemon, zested + juice</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Salt + pepper season</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Basically chuck everything into a plastic bag, massage all the ingredients under the chicken skin and leave to marinade at least 20 minutes. Ideally overnight.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Cooking Method</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ol>
<li>Preheat oven 220°C, line oven tray with foil/ greaseproof paper</li>
<li>Add cubed potatoes (scrubbed and washed, salted), then add your marinated chicken</li>
<li>Add chicken on top of potato</li>
<li>Place in chicken in oven, reduce heat to 200°C.</li>
<li>Cook for at least 50 minutes in the oven. Once cooked (pierce drumstick with a knife, the juice should run clear), take chicken out of oven and leave to rest for at least 15 minutes.</li>
</ol>
<div>
Notes: You can leave the chicken uncovered for 20 minutes, then once the skin starts browning, cover it with foil whilst it cooks.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I usually serve the chicken with buttered + cheese naan bread/ toasts, and yoghurt. You can make raita (yoghurt + lemon + cucumber + coriander) to accompany the chicken if preferred, but the juices from the chicken will make for a good dipping sauce alone.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There might be leftovers, perfect for a quick casserole dinner the following night or some chicken sandwiches to bring to office the next morning.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Pst: For Malaysians, it literally tastes like tandoori chicken hahaha.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
On Thursday, my mom Whatsapped me and asked if we wanted to go and eat ikan patin at Temerloh on Saturday, Since me and Imaan had just recovered from a bout of illnesses, we were gaaaaame! Anything to do to spend more time with my parents. Now that Imaan walks more, my parents love to take her out.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My dad actually took her out for breakfast of roti canai without telling us first (when his initial plan was just to take her inside the car and let her play with the steering wheel and give a honk or two).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Temerloh is well-known for ikan patin, a freshwater fish in Malaysia, otherwise known as "pangasius" or shark catfish. It is native to Pahang, and the moment you enter Pahang you can see signboards featuring ikan patin everywhere.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Patin is usually served in tempoyak sauce, fermented durian, with birds eye chilli, fresh turmeric and Vietnamese coriander. One always prefers to buy wild patin (usually grown in cages in the riverbanks) compared to those grown commercially, which you can purchase as supermarket, as you can taste the difference in the flesh of the fish. The commercial ones tend to taste more muddy.</div>
<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
This shop is quite famous... there were others who drove from KL just to like, to enjoy the patin.. do note the patin is only available from 12 PM onwards... we arrived at 11.30 so we have 30 minutes to kill.</div>

Snacking on the tiny fishes whilst waiting for the patin. I forgot to the name of it - the texture is similar to White Bait - little crunchy fishes. Could have snacked endlessly on it. The owner explained that it was quite pricey, at RM 20.00/ kg.</div>

Unfortunately, the sauce isn't as good as I remember it to be. The tempoyak flavor was not as strong; it was quite watery and it was crazy spicy (although, need to note, post pregnancy my spice level ain't as strong as it used to be). It's RM 12.00 per portion.</div>

We detoured to Teluk Chempedak. It's a great touristy spot, too bad the local makan-makan shops wasn't too good. Bad for the locals as the fast food giants such as McD, KFC and Subway that already opened there will be taking over their business.</div>

<div>
<br />
Prep Time: 5 minutes<br />
Cooking Time: 30 - 40 minutes</div>
<b><br /></b>
<b>Ingredients:</b><br />
<ol>
<li>Unsalted Butter</li>
<li>1 pack Beefballs</li>
<li>1 Cup Fresh Milk (prefer Full Fat)</li>
<li>Chicken stock (soup form) or water.</li>
<li>1 Beef Stock Cube (optional)</li>
<li>Kraft Buttermilk Ranch dressing (Kraft brand)</li>
<li>4 tablespoon cornflour</li>
</ol>
<b>Steps:</b><br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Boil your pasta as pasta pack instructions - keep to al dente. Mushy pasta no good. After cook, strain and keep just a little of the pasta water.</li>
<li>Heat two tablespoons of butter over low heat in a pan.</li>
<li>Brown your beefballs in the heated butter, remove once cooked.</li>
<li>In the same pan, add five spoons of butter. Wait until melted.</li>
<li>Add cornflour (tepung jagung) to the melted butter. Mix well.</li>
<li>Add in the fresh milk.</li>
<li>OPTIONAL: Add beef stock, stir well.</li>
<li>OPTIONAL: Add chicken stock (soup form) if you have any.</li>
<li>Add the pasta water from the pasta you strained earlier.</li>
<li>Add in the Kraft Buttermilk Ranch Dressing and stir well.</li>
<li>Add in your cooked beefballs and pasta, stir well.</li>
<li>Season well.</li>
</ol>
<div>
Notes: I added some steamed broccoli for some freshness because this dish is really really fattening. Shouldn't eat this every day as the sodium from the dressing and frozen beefballs can be alarming but memang finger licking good la haha. The Kraft bottle looks like below.</div>

We celebrated Imaan's first birthday at Chili's Paradigm Mall. No brainer, we love to eat there as it's close to home, everytime I go there I will order the Honey Chipotle Chicken (even though it's crazy easy to just make it at home) and kids get to eat for free (free chicken for Imaan).</div>
