Gin's Kitchen - 早餐 （炒米粉+Mee Goreng)

Day 72

吃腻了面包，Bacon，蛋和Hashbrown, 我决定换换口味，吃炒米粉和Mee Goreng！

炒米粉虽然有点麻烦，但很容易炒，味道也不错。可惜我炒得太少，只够陈先生两天的早餐，而且我放太多水，米粉有点太湿。我已经决定下星期再炒，这次要炒多一点！

 

陈先生说要吃Mee Goreng, 可是家里没有Ketchup和Chilli Sauce,他说不要放Ketchup,他要辣辣的。结果，我用了家里的Sambal Chilli，炒出来一点都不好吃！问题出在那个Sambal Chilli！浪费我的努力！我决定去买Chilli Sauce，把那个超难吃的Sambal Chilli丢掉！

 

Gin's Kitchen - Assam Fish + 蝦仁炒蛋 + Stir Fry Spinach

Day 69

I tried cooking Assam Fish today and it was delicious! Not to mention that it was super easy to cook too!


Assam Fish
Ingredients：
－　Snapper cutlet
－　1 packet of Assam fish paste


1) Marinate the cutlet with lemon, some salt and pepper seasoning
2) Boil water in a large wok
3) Place fish in the wok when the water starts to boil for 8 minutes
4) Remove fish from wok and drain away the water.
5) Add Assam fish paste and return the fish to wok and steam for another 7 minutes (my fish was quite thick and thus I increased the time from 5 to 7 minutes)

 

Verdict: The fish was delicious! The Assam paste was spicy and sour and I can taste the lemon that I used to season the fish! This is a keeper. It will appear on the dining table every month! =)


蝦仁炒蛋 is something that I love to eat. have cooked previously and I wanted to try adding milk to the egg today to see if it will make the egg runny. But I forgot to buy milk and thus, it was just scrambled eggs with prawns. Haha.

Happy Birthday Papa Goh!

Day 69

Today is Papa Goh's 61st birthday (according to Lunar calendar). I stayed up till 3am so that I can wish him Happy Birthday when the clock struck 12am at home. I have sent him a parcel and hopefully it will reach next week and give him a little surprise! :)

Bro was communicating with me through WhatsApp, sending me photos of Mama Goh feeding him Shark's fins and the yummy dinner that they had at Taste Paradise at Ion. The bill was a whopping $600! But money is no issue when it comes to birthday celebrations! I just skyped with Papa and Mama Goh and I got a bombshell...

I told Mama Goh that I am sharing the camera with Bro and Mei! Don't try to cheat my money! :P

I miss all of you so much!

A piece of good news too! 我的姑妈中马票！！头奖啊！！恭喜姑妈！！

Eat Out - Blok M (Indonesian Grilled Food)

Day 68

Last Saturday, Sabrina brought us to Blok M and this week, Mr Tan and I decided to go back for the delicious grilled fish! Yes, I am eating FISH! Haha. For the first time in our 2 months here, we are eating out by ourselves. 

Just the 2 of us. :)

Blok M serves Indonesian food such as Mee Goreng, Tempeh, Soto Ayam, Grilled Chicken in Traditional Javanese Sauce, Spicy Grilled Fish etc. Last week we had Soto Ayam, Grilled Catfish in Traditional Javanese Sauce, Lamb Curry, Grilled Squid, Avocado Milkshake and Jackfruit Milkshake. The Grilled Catfish was delicious and I told Mr Tan last week that next week we are going back and I am going to eat the grilled fish!

This time round, both of us ordered fish. I had the Grilled Fish in Traditional Javanese Sauce ($11), Spicy Fried Fish ($11) and Teh Tarik ($2). The grilled fish was yummy yummy..I finished the entire fish! Mr Tan commented that the spicy sauce wasn't spicy enough for him but he is a high tolerance for spiciness. The Teh Tarik wasn't impressive. I certainly didn't see any pulling of the tea and it was way too sweet. But I am in love with the grilled fish. It is one of the hottest items on the menu. I see so many people ordering it. Another item that is hot is the Ayam Bakar (Grilled Chicken).

Blok M, I will be back!

Eat Out - Coconut House (Singaporean and Malaysian Hawker Fare)

Day 68

Saturday is always "Eat Out" day. :)

We did not go to the market this morning but headed to meet Sabrina and Shyan for lunch at Coconut House. It is near Queen Victoria Market and business has been so good that they opened a second eatery, named Little Coconut House a few doors away.

Items on the menu are mainly Malaysian and Singaporean cuisine such as Nasi Lemak, Chicken Rice, Wonton Noodles, Prawn Mee, Laksa etc. We ordered the Prawn Noodles ($8.60), Curry Laksa ($8.60), Hot Soya Bean ($2.30) and Teh Tarik ($3.30). I have no idea why they are priced with a 60 cents and 30 cents, why not 50 cents or just round up to a dollar?

Food tasted pretty normal to me but apparently it is the latest "hot place" among Malaysians and Singaporeans and many have raved about the food here. Perhaps we didn't order the 招牌菜，我们的虾面和Laksa没什么特别。 Will we go again? Maybe yes, but only because of the cheap prices and if Sabrina and Shyan want to eat there again.
