Salmon Fish Head at EWest Cafe

A friend has been pestering us to try the Salmon Fish Head Noodle Soup in E-west. We decided to give it a try then. The service were quite fast and not long, we were served with the noodles. Seriously, YUMMY!!!
They served with at least 3 pieces of Salmon fish head which was deep fried. The broth was mix ginger, tomatoes, tauhu and generous amount of salted veggie (I specially requested for it). I definitely coming here for more.

 

We also ordered the garlic fried rice. This dish was good too. It was paired with deep fried chicken cutlet (cooked with tangy sauce), a sausage, an egg and cucumber. The rice was very fragrant and tasty. The rice textures was just right where it was not too soggy nor hard.

My brother ordered Thai Style Mango Fish. It was a set meal where it consists of the fish slices, long beans, rice, soup and coffee/tea. I do not know the taste, however, my brother loves this a lot.

GOOD ONE!!!!

Maggi Magic Meal - Kicap Ayam (Soy sauce chicken)

I got myself a free sample of Maggi Magic Meal - Soy Sauce Chicken (Kicap Ayam). I just love to eat the kicap ayam that cooked by Malay, however, it is tedious to do it. I saw Maggi giving out sample on this with such easy cooking steps, it stated there, cut meat, mix with the Maggi stock, put it with steamed rice and wait for 45 minutes. It shall be ready to be eaten by then.

Ingredients:
500g of cut chicken ( it stated there the chicken shall be skinless, however, I did not do so and I used more than 1/2 kg)
1/2 onion (cut into rings)
1/2 cup of water

In the Maggi Magic Meal has the plastic, plastic band and stock.

Instead of putting the chicken into the plastic and cooked, I put it into a plates, mix it with the stock, onion, water and marinate it in the fridge for at least 3 hours.

After that, I put the plates of chicken onto the rice cooker and cooked together with the rice (I cooked the rice and chicken for 45 minutes).
 

Tada!!! The chicken smell good. The taste is ok not bad for such easy cooking. It might taste better if I did not put in any water since I marinated it.

We did not manage to finish the dish. The next day, my mom used the leftover to cook another dish. You can used claypot, but my mom used rice cooker. Steamed the rice, right after it is cooked, put in the leftover including its gravy into the rice and mix it. Let it sit in the rice awhile. You can add in chinese sausages, salted fish and others..... Claypot chicken rice.... So yummy.

Thanks Maggi for giving me a chance to make a quick, simple meals of Kicap Ayam and Claypot Chicken Rice :P

Not-so-Italian-style-LASAGNA

My Sis in law made lasagna for us few days ago. It was delicious and did not left a greasy feeling after eating as she used more vegetable instead of meat as the filing.

Ingrediants:
1 pack of Lasagna sheet
1 can of tomato paste
200g of meat (any minced meat, in actual fact, we should use more meat however we did not)
3 sausages (since we are not having lots of meats, we add in sausages)
3 tomatoes
2 cucumbers
1 carrot
1/2 onion
5 cloves of garlics
Pepper & Salt (Best add in oregano and thyme leaves)

Butter
one pack of sliced mozzarella cheese

one pack of sliced cheddar cheese

1) Take out the lasagna sheet and soak it in a water for few hours (she left it for 6 hours), so the sheets will be soft easier and lesser the cooking time.

 

2) Diced the sausages, carrots, tomatoes, cucumber, onion and garlic.

3) Heat up generous amount of butter. Put in onion and garlic. Do not mix so much.Let it sits and shimmer, until they were soft and quite dry.

 

4) Put in carrot and cook it awhile, until it is nearly soft.

5) Add in other ingredients and stir it. Let it sits and shimmer till the ingredients are dry.

6) Add in the tomato paste and stir it. Seasoned with pepper and salt (if you have oregano and / or thyme leaves). Let the sauce dried up a bit.

7) Use kitchen rolls to pat dry the lasagna sheet.

8) Arrange the lasagna into a casserole. First, add in some cooked item, then placed the sliced cheese lastly placed the lasagna sheets. Repeat and ended with only cheese on top.

 

 

9) Preheat the oven to 180 degree for fifteen minutes. Bake the lasagna for half hour.

10) TADA!!!! YUMMY!!! However, I suggest to use more of shredder cheddar cheese and sufficient amount of shredder mozzarella cheese. It might have a better taste and look.

It's so simple. Happy Trying! Slurp!

Homemade Pepperoni, Sausages and Cheese Pizza

It's pizza time :) Nothing beat having pizza with lots of topping and cheese. Therefore, I love to make it myself instead of buying it from the shop.

Ingredients

(A) Pizza  Dough
       300gm   Flour (I used bread flour)
       2 tbsp    Castor sugar
       1/4 tsp   Salt
       2 tbsp    Cooking oil
       3 tsp      Yeast
       180gm   Warm water

(B)  Pizza Sauce
       1 tsp Salt
       1 tsp White pepper
       1/2 tbsp Ground Oregano
       1 tsp Oregano leaves
       6 tbsp Tomato puree / paste
       3 tbsp Pizza sauce

(C)  Pizza Topping
       Pepperoni (any topping can be used too)
       Sausages
       Cheddar & Mozzarella Cheese

In the large bowl of a heavy duty electric mixer add the warm water. Sprinkle on the yeast and let sit for 5 minutes until the yeast is dissolved. Stir to dissolve completely if needed at the end of 5 minutes.

Knead using the mixer and dough hook, on low to medium speed, until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. If you don't have a mixer, you can mix and knead by hand as shown in the picture below. If the dough seems a little too wet, sprinkle on a bit more flour.

Cover with plastic wrap or cloth immediately and keep it for 1/2 to 1 hour.

Remove the plastic cover from the dough and punch the dough down so it deflates a bit. If you love thin crust, divide the dough in half.  Form two round balls of dough. Place each in its own bowl, cover with plastic and let sit for 10 minutes.

One ball of dough and flatten it with your hands on a slightly floured work surface. Starting at the center and working outwards, use your fingertips to press the dough to 1/2-inch thick.then poke the pizza centre using fork.

  

After that, put the dough into 9 or 12 1/2 plate. Bake at 140 degree C for 30 minute.

Now prepare the pizza sauce (B) and spread it on top of the baked pizza dough.

Cut pepperoni and sausages into bite size. Shred both Mozarella and Chedder Cheese.

Sprinkle some of the mozarella cheese on top of the sauce.

Then arranged the cut pepperoni and sausages on top and sprinkle a generous amount of mozarella and cheddar cheese on top of them. give it a little press on the pizza dough so that it sticks better.

Bake at 200 degree C for 20 minutes.

TADA!!!!

Delicious Ah~~~ Happy Trying
