LAKSA SINGAPORE

Normally on Sunday, we eat out for lunch. Today was a special day as my brothers came to visit us and for one of them it was his birthday too. The two grand chefs of the house ganged up together to concoct the best laksa in the universe. Awesome power! one specialises in nyonya cooking, the other in fusion style. While i lend support, ferrying them to market to buy the freshest produce. We bought a roast duck from Restoran Sunrise while my sister-in-law's Hannah bought a chocolate cake for her husband. It was a happy gathering and everyone was overstuffed with cholesterol laden foods.

Prawn shells-boiled to make the broth.


The pot of broth filled with scum of coconut oil on the surface- rich, red, creamy and spicy-made with dry chillies, candle nut, turmeric, shrimp paste, shallots, garlic, lengkuas(galangkal) and coconut milk. (warning:cholesterol laden)


Thinly sliced fresh prawns.


Thinly sliced home made fish cake.


Thinly sliced cucumber.


Plucked bean sprouts


Finely chopped daun kesum(lat liu)-for added flavor


Pounded garlic- for added flavor


All the freshly made ingredients laid on the table-select the type of noodle and ingredients and poured the laksa broth over it.


Yellow noodle.


Thick rice noodle.



Flat rice noodle (kway- teow)


Rice vermicelli


Delicious mouth watering laksa Singapore.


Crispy,aromatic roast duck


Time to eat, self service for every one.


The birthday boy with his two kids, thanks for the cake!

PANTAI SEAFOOD RESTAURANT

My dad wants to have something special for dinner, instead of his mundane steamed fish fillet rice dinner every other day. There were too many choices and as it was drizzling, the point of focus was on to Pantai Seafood restaurant, located in Kayu Ara, Damansara, Petaling Jaya, where parking was easy and he won't get drench when getting out of the car. Actually we are regular of this restaurant and tonight there were 15 of us and we ordered our usual dishes:


Fresh live local and exotic seafood- nicely arranged and ready to be chosen for the dinner table.


Busy waiters and captains going about their chores.


Menu.


Salted duck egg yolk crabs-was done well, not too oily and covered with generous amount of duck yolk-was nicely cut into bite pieces too.


Stir fry lotus roots with celery(can lower cholesterol).sweet peas, button mushroom, carrot-was surprised the various vegetables blended so well-was crunchy and highly nutritious.


A bucket of steamed free range chicken-was herbal in flavor but the broth was a bit salty.the ginger dip goes well with the lean chicken meat


Angled loofahs with soft deep fried bean curd-my dad's favorite- just melt in the mouth with each bite. my nephew loves the gravy.


Deep fried pork ribs-was well battered, meaty and hints of lam yee(preserved bean curd) taste-everyone get to savor it.

Boiled fresh grass prawns-sweet, fresh and succulent but high in cholesterol.


Stir fry kang kong(water morning glory) with chillies and shrimps paste-a bit over cooked but was finished anyway.


Egg omelette with onion and shrimp-was nicely browned and soft and fluffy inside.
