Food Passion

Penang and the foods...

2010-10-12T01:11:00.000-07:00

Here comes the fiesta....Penang...and the lovely foods....

Saya tgh pregnant and kali ni mmg agak malas nak ke dapur. So teringin list tu melambak....so kita pi terjah n review je lah ya...

Biasanya bila balik penang, saya tak pi jalan jauh-jauh pon sbb hubs nampaknya mcm malas nak bwk jalan...saya pon xlah kisah sgt sbb makan kat umah dia je pon dah abis sedap.

So kebetulan trip kali ni, our good friends ada sekali...so dapatlah jalan jauh sikit. Taklah jauh mana....sampai padang kota je. hehe...

Location: Teluk Bahang

#1: Apam Balik

Ni apam balik teluk bahang...sedap sgt! crunchy secukup rasa. Mmg kita dapat rasa makcik n pakcik yg berniaga ni mmg ikhlas menjual. Mmg tak rugilah kalau singgah kat teluk bahang utk beli apam balik kering ni. Kalau nak pi...dtg dalam kul 3 - 5pm okeh.! X silap 50sen satu...

#2. Nasi lemak

Fuuuyooohhh! Terrrbaikkkk ok! Sangat sedap! Before i never heart nasi lemak ikan or nasi lemak udang etc tp hok ni serious sedapp ok. Nasi dia je mmg dah cukup rasa...tambah plak sambal ikan tu yg shedappp! Kalau nak cari nasi lemak ni, kene pi pasar teluk bahang. Jalan beli kat tepi jalan tau. Kat tepi jalan kurang enak bagi sayalah. Masuk dlm pasar ada satu kedai ni yg paling tepi jual kuih muih and nasi lemak je. Tapi kene cepat sbb mmg kene menunggu lah kalau lambat. Proses membalut semua depa buat kat rumah. So bila dh abis tu, kita makan je lah kuih (kuih pon sedap ok) dulu sementara tunggu adik jual tu balik umah ambik stok. A MUST TRY!!!

Gua makan mmg x hinggat nyer! My 4th bungkus!!!

Mcdonalds fries Haram or Halal????

2009-11-10T07:13:00.000-08:00

Below is a response as to whether McDonald's French Fries contain "questionable" ingredients.

Thank you for taking the time to contact McDonald's. We truly appreciate this opportunity to respond to your comments.

It is important to note that McDonald's voluntarily provides nutrition and ingredient information on its products, and we have always followed Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidelines for labeling to be consistent with other U.S. food retailers and packaged goods who provide nutrition and ingredient information.

However, some customers have told us they want more information about our products than what we previously provided. So now, in our nutrition materials, we are including the source of our "natural flavorings." For core menu products in the U.S., customers are now able to find out if a natural flavor comes from a meat, vegetable or dairy source. This updated Nutrition Facts Brochure is available in our U.S. restaurants and on our website at: http://www.mcdonalds.com/app_controller.nutrition.categories.ingredients.index.html

With regard to our French fries, any customer in the U.S. who contacts McDonald's Corporation to ask if they contain beef flavoring is told "yes." For flavor enhancement, in the U.S., McDonald's French fry suppliers use a very small amount of beef flavor as a natural flavoring during the par-frying process at the potato processing plant. In the restaurant, the French fries are cooked in vegetable oil.

In addition, we have no plans to change the way we prepare our French fries in the U.S. However, it is important to know that our French fries are prepared differently in other countries.

Additionally, we do have a restaurant located in Dearborn, Michigan were they have begun to offer halal foods. The first item that was offered was the "halal nuggets". We also offer the Filet-O-Fish sandwich which is considered an "halal" item as well. Although the "halal nuggets" are not currently a national menu item, you may wish to speak directly with your local McDonald's and voice your concerns for additional items that are "halal".

Again, thank you for contacting McDonald's. We look forward to serving you for years to come.

p/s: i did asked one of the staff in mcd klcc and she said mcdonald fries in malaysia came from the usa... wallahualam...

i guess, mcd's fries is the best so far.....:(((

Guava atau dalam bahasa melayu jambu memang dikenali sebagai bahan fiber yang baik. Tapi rasanya tak pernah lagi jumpa orang jual guava yang bewarna merah jambu. I was introduced by a friend who was sick and been admitted for 3 weeks. Test after test, dr tak dapat nak diagnose dia sakit apa, and most likely katanya macam pnemonia. So her father gave this pink guava juice and she had to finish 1 liter in two days. (That is not hard, coz this drink is so yummy. And berkat mencuba & percaya, she was discharged within 2days after consuming pink guava juice. But hey, kita disuruh berusaha dan berdoa untuk mencapai sesuatu. So, jangan kalut kalau sakit, makan ubat and cubalah juga alternatif lain ok.

My husband pulak ada high blood pressure, so selepas mencuba 1 gelas juice ni, i suruh my husband beli 1 karton (12 liter) = RM 152

simply because rasaya YUMMY! Even anak i pon suka minum air ni!

Not so fatty crab & Lemak Pucuk Manis

2009-07-28T07:56:00.000-07:00

Lemak Pucuk Manis

Masak lemak putih biasanya ada 4 basic ingredients

Santan
Bawang putih & merah hiris
udang hidup/ udang kering/ ikan bilis
sayur/ lauk
and of course garam

Teknik adalah amat penting when it comes to masak yang bersantan. Santan dimasak di atas minyak separa panas and perlu dikacau berterusan. Kalau tidak, nanti santan tu nanti berbiji.

As above pic, i make pucuk manis and keledek manis sebagai lauknya. Macam-macam jenis sayuran kita boleh buat but paling sedap (to me lah), masak lemak papaya. Manis dan sedap! Manis bukan dari gula but from the papaya. Later i will post the pic.

Sambal ketam

As today menu saja tak nak pening-peningkan kepala... i decided nak menyedapkan my masak lemak, sambal adalah terbaik untuk dicombinekan. Dan ketam adalah subjectnya. Urmmm

Homemade Murtabak

2009-04-20T01:51:00.000-07:00

Murtabak anyone? What is murtabak?

Murtabak or Mutabbaq (Arabic: مطبق) is a dish which is commonly found in Saudi Arabia (especially the Hejaz region), Yemen, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Brunei. Depending on the location, the name and ingredients can significantly vary. The name mutabbaq (or sometimes mutabbag) in Arabic means "folded".

In Malaysia, where it is called "Murtabak", it is sold by Mamak salesmen, and usually includes minced mutton, along with garlic, egg and onion, and is eaten with curry sauce. Murtabak also usually includes mutton in Yemen. In Indonesia, particularly Jakarta, it is called "martabak", and has two versions: a sweet one, and a savory one.

Pojar

2009-04-02T02:10:00.000-07:00

Pojar? Apa tu? entahlah..resipi ini datangnya dari selatan tanah air. Yang saya tahu orang melaka dan negeri sembilan yang pandai makan pojar. Tak perlu tunggu untuk berpantang sahaja untuk makan pojar. Orang Sihat waalfiat pon boleh makan. Sedap.

Dalam pantang biasanya ada guna asam jawa dan kunyit yang sifatnya sebagai mengecutkan, lada hitam sebagai pemanas, bawang putih dan halia untuk mengeluarkan angin dan bahan makanan yang terdiri daripada daging dan ikan sebagai penambah zat dan memberi tenaga untuk badan.

Bahan-bahan (ditumbuk semua sekali)

Ibu kunyit sebesar ibu jari
1 sd kecil lada hitam
1 biji bawang putih
1 biji bawang merah
1/2 genggam ikan bilis

2 sudu air asam jawa (pastikan dibancuh dgn air panas)
Gula & garam sebagai penambah rasa

Ikan bilis boleh diganti dengan ikan tenggiri/ ikan merah yang dibakar.

Selamat mencuba.

Indonesian desert...pisang bakar

2009-03-26T01:29:00.000-07:00

I have to admit, indonesians are creative in many ways...they are gifted with creative ideas be it about food, wood art, movies.....and of course their songs...ouh...i so love it. My honest opinion, indonesian people are the type of person who do things seriously...focus, honest....and bla bla bla....(cannot laa give so much credit, coz i am malaysian....huhu)

My own maid herself....she can cook (superb cook), bake, do house chores, take care of my children....and guess wat?? she can is plumber & electrician in the house. Enough said...they are creative!!!

And now..i am experiencing making a desert called "pisang bakar" or baked banana..idea taken originally from the country that makes so many creative inviduals...Indonesia

also can be eaten with ice-cream...flavor of ur choice...;)

Rain drops falling on my head...

2009-03-23T23:56:00.000-07:00

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed
Nothin' seems to fit
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'

So I just did me some talkin' to the sun
And I said I didn't like the way he got things done
Sleepin' on the job
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'

But there's one thing I know
The blues they send to meet me won't defeat me
It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Cryin's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' me

[trumpet]

It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Cryin's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' me

This is one of my all time fav song...

carrot cake aka kek lobak merah .... but y not lobak oren kan?

2009-03-22T21:27:00.000-07:00

"Mama...carrot tu lobak merah ke lobak orange??" Lobak merah = Lobak jingga. How the hell i'm going to explain this to my 4 yr old daughter. Ke zaman dulu lobak nya bewarna merah? Ke sebab pelik bila disebut lobak jingga? Budak-budak pulak bila nampak color oren dia sebut orange x sebut jingga. Or maybe saya yang salah mengajar anak tentang warna-warna dalam bahasa melayu. Apa pun kenapa lobak merah and why not lobak jingga? Sigh...pening pening...budak2 sekarang memang pandai sampai kita sendiri tak boleh nak jawab soalan dia...

Sambil aku scrap carrot ni...kepala sudah pusing.

I dont know why...but i simply like the kampungness of hulu langat. Sejuk, ada ayaq terjun....and of course buah-buahan yg boleh dikatakan fresh. Yang bestnya petai fresh...huhu

Belum lagi rasanya ter'come across recipe made from duku...so anyone yang teringin nak jadi number 1....apa lagi...hihi

Pot Luck @ Yanti's

2008-08-05T01:15:00.000-07:00

The actual plan was having the guys to cook and the girls lepak-lepak. But it was sunday known as family day, some of us couldnt make it..so we decided to cook at home and later present at yanti's. Since hubby was sick, i volunteered to cook for him. And he requested ...as usual, kari ikan..

Went to market pon about 10ish...so nothing's left except for kepala ikan tenggiri...and jadilah kari kepala ikan. I bought some ulam - daun serloin and i made sambal belacan...

playing with fondant...

2008-01-13T20:40:00.000-08:00

My very 1st attemp in decorating a dummy cake with fondant...

Fondant Recipe

1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
1/4 cup cold water
1/2 cup Glucose
2 tablespoons solid vegetable shortening
1 tablespoon Glycerin
8 cups sifted confectioner's sugar (about 2 lbs.)
Icing color and flavoring, as desired

Instruction:

1. Combine gelatin and cold water; let stand until thick.

2. Place gelatin mixture in top of double boiler and heat until dissolved. Add glucose, mix well.

3. Stir in shortening and just before completely melted, remove from heat. Add glycerin, flavoring and color. Cool until lukewarm.

4. Place 4 cups confectioner's sugar in a bowl and make a well. Pour the lukewarm gelatin mixture into the well and stir with a wooden spoon, mixing in sugar and adding more, a little at a time, until stickiness disappears.

5. Knead in remaining sugar. Knead until the fondant is smooth, pliable and does not stick to your hands.

If fondant is too soft, add more sugar; if too stiff, add water (a drop at a time). Use fondant immediately or store in airtight container in a cool, dry place. Do not refrigerate or freeze. When ready to use, knead again until soft.

This recipe makes approx. 36 oz., enough to cover a 10 x 4 in. high cake.

150 g caster sugar
6 eggs
50 g butter, melted
55 g flour
115 g egg whites
55 g powdered/confectioners sugar
Strong brewed coffee to brush the cake layers

Ganache:

500 g Dark Cooking Chocolate, chopped
500 g whipping cream

Instruction:
Ganache:

1. Heat the cream just until boiling point, turn off the heat. Stir in dark cooking chocolate until melted and makes a smooth and shiny ganache.

2. Let cool and keep it in the fridge for a night. Before using it, take out from the fridge and mix/whip until fluffy and easy to spread.

Cake:

1. Beat ground almond, caster sugar and 3 eggs with electric mixer for about 10 minutes.

2. Beat in the remaining 3 eggs while continue beating for about 10 minutes more.

3. Drop 2 big spoons of this batter into melted butter, stir until blended, set aside.

4. Mix the flour with ground almond batter.

5. Beat the egg whites until frothy, beat in powdered/confectioners sugar while continue beating until it forms soft peaks.

6. Fold this egg whites into almond batter. Fold in the melted butter that has been mixed with a little almond batter until well blended.

Divide the batter into 6 pans (22 x 22 cm each), bake 10 minutes in 200 degree Celcius. Let cool on a wire rack.

Assembling:

1. Take one layer, brush it with strong coffee. Spread the ganache onto the layer.
Put another cake layer on top of the first layer, brush it with strong coffe. Spread the ganache onto this second layer. Repeat this process until all layers has been assembled.

2. Put the assembled cake in refrigerator for about 20 minutes to firm the structure.

3. Pour melted chocolate or remaining ganache if any (reheat if necessary) over the cooled cake. Set aside in the refrigerator just until the chocolate topping is firm (about 1 hour).

4. Cut the crust sides of the cake with a long thin knife that’s just been dipped into hot water and wiped, so now you can see the pretty layers of the cake.

Garnish as you like.
