Nasi Lemak is one of the favourite food of any Malaysian and there is no doubt about that. The star of the dish is the sambal aka chili paste plus some secret ingredients. It is not easy to find nasi lemak in England. The only cheapest place that serves nasi lemak is at our very own Malaysian Hall in London. It is priced at £4.00 which comes up to about RM24.00 for a normal nasi lemak. Well, of course it does comes with a side dish.

Being Malaysians staying in England now, we challenged ourselves by making our very own nasi lemak. It is not too difficult to get all the ingredients here. Just go to the nearest Chinese store, and you will have all of it there.

Shabu Shabu Buffet City is a Japanese steamboat restaurant. Opened in Bandar Puteri, Puchong, this restaurant offers not only ala-carte Japanese cuisines but also an all you can eat Japanese steamboat buffet.

I got to say, Shabu Shabu Buffet City offers one of the cheapest buffets around at only less than RM30.00 per person. Well, of course, here you won’t get the awesome service and food choices like other Japanese buffet restaurants like Tenji or Kampachi, but only a decent choices of ingredients. All you need to do, is just pay at the counter at the lower floor and take yourself up on the lift to enjoy your “shabu shabu”.

Roast Chicken is one of my favourite English food. But how do we go about preparing this dish?
(Everything was prepared without any reference to any recipe - but it turns out really good!) First time always jadi.

First, marinate the chicken thighs with chicken seasoning, chicken stock, 5-spice powder, some salt and pepper to taste, light and dark soya sauce and finely chopped onions (optional). For better results get your chicken thighs fresh and marinate it for at least 3 hours or more for better results.

Placed the chicken thighs in the oven and set the temperature to about 200 degrees celcius and roast them until they are fully cooked.

While waiting, prepare the mashed potatoes, gravy and green vegetables to complete the dish. For mashed potatoes, boil the potatoes until soft and mash it with a spoon or anything flat. Mixed the potatoes with mayonnaise, butter and some salt. Boil or fry the green vegetables. You can always opt for salad if you want to.

Lastly, place everything properly on a nice flat plate and serve it warm.

List of Ingredients :
• Chicken thighs
• Chicken seasoning
• Chicken stock
• 5-spice powder
• Salt and pepper
• Light and dark soya sauce
• Onions
• Potatoes
• Mayonnaise and Butter
• Green vegetables

The weather was gloomy that day. One minute it was hot and another minute it drizzles. In short, the weather was not very kind to us during our visit to Taiwan. The only thing that brightens our day was the food.

After a long hot day visiting Taipei, all we wanted was something cold. Something to quench our thirst. And the only thing that came to our mind was Taiwan’s bubble tea and Taiwan’s famous shaved ice desserts 雪花冰. There are many desserts shops around Xi Men Ding. But the owner of this particular shop managed to attract our attention by saying “Selamat Datang”. How cool was that!

There are many flavours to choose from but their most appealing dessert to us are their mango ice shaved dessert. Read the rest of this entry »
