BACON CHICKEN ROLLS

we had this dish at our sister-in-law's Christmas party last year. the children loved it, so my wife decided to try and make it herself. bought 300gms of bacon and chicken drumsticks from the supermarket. skinned the drumsticks and cut into small pieces. marinate it with ginger juice and chinese wine. roll the chicken meat with the bacon and skewered it. heat up the oven at 160c and cooked for 15 minutes.

don't it looks tasty and juicy?

BAK KUT TEH (RESTAURANT THONG YEW)

Bah Kut Teh literally means pork rib soup. this dish originated from KLANG, SELANGOR. the soup is made up of herbs blended into different proportions, boiled with different cuts of pork, then cooked for a few hours. there are various types of soup:clear, light, dark and even starchy. my favourite is the Sang Kut Poh-fresh pork rib cooked to order, it takes about 40 minutes to cook. it's worthwhile waiting for, you can taste the juiciness of the meat and the superior soup is sweet and clear!
this particular stall served the Cantonese version : located in KLANG. from Petaling Jaya via the Federal Highway, on reaching the turning into Berkeley Garden, at the roundabout, turn at 3o'clock, the shop is on your right hand side. next to the Berkeley Corner 24 hour.

NASI LEMAK

nasi lemak is the no:1 breakfast food among malaysians. it can be bought and eaten in places like street corners to plush restaurant. it is basically rice cooked with coconut milk and accompanied by peanuts, scrambled eggs, cucumber, sambal and whatever meat that you like to eat! we had our nasi lemak at Simply Penang, located at One Utama shopping mall. the rice was not lemak and lacks fragrance, the curry gravy was too diluted but the lobak and drumstick was meaty! assam prawns was so-so.

WATER FILTER

the water flowing out of the tap in our homes is unpredictable, sometimes we may get light brown to tea colored water. at times it even tasted like it had been over chlorinated, smelled and tasted terrible! at other times the water may looks clean but actually it is bad for our body especially our kidneys. so we need a water filter to remove impurities like chlorine and harmful chemicals from the water before we use it for cooking and drinking purposes.after filtration it can improved the taste, color and odor of the water. the soup would even taste better. water filter can be bought off the shelf from D.I.Y shop and installed directly to the tap ourselves.
remember water is life!

KOREAN BBQ (DAORAE RESTAURANT)

July and August are the months that made a hole in my pocket! 3 birthdays in July (son, brother and nephew) and two on August 19 and 20( two daughters.) normally we go for seafood dinner but this year we opted for Korean food. this restaurant is located in Puchong Bandar Puteri besides Giant. it is on the first floor, a bit of a hassle for old people but the good food more than made up for it. the service was good, instead of table seating we tried the floor seating, very comfortable. the food was sweet, spicy and sourish, just perked up my taste buds. the charcoal fired BBQ contraption was smokeless, very well-designed with a vacuum or air suction pump, i think!
