I tried to make Thai vege rolls but it didn't work out and mum had to throw away like 4 dishes of it. But the Peanut Sambal was good so we reused it for another dish the next day

Thai Peanut Dip-Sambal

Thai Vege Rolls

I was Googling for vegetarian lasagna recipe last week and came across this simple raisin-honey cookie recipe. It didnt work out so well, maybe I should have added more sugar in the dough and honey in the mixture

Tepung gandum and butter

I used brown sugar-heathier

Raisins measured-100 grams

Raisins and honey

Cookies going to oven

Cookies out!

Father's Day In One U

For Father's Day, I brought my family (mom, dad, brother and Boby-aunt) to One Utama. We left in the morning and reached a bit early of our appointed reserved lunch time. So we spent some time in MPH, bought 2 books and then after a hearty lunch we went to Chikuyo or was it Chikoyu? The lunch was perfect as you can see, all the 5 dishes was wiped clean. My dad the food critic was soo busy stuffing himself full he forgot to complain about the dish. (He usually does this at home; "less salt", "too spicy" and "this is too much, whos going to finish it?") Yum Yum!

The mock Assam Fish. This was heavenly!

The Claypot Vege. This didnt come in a claypot and I didnt the like corn-starchy feeling it had

The roasted duck was superb. The balance was fantastic!

The vege mock-steak

Total Bill: RM 110++

After lunch, we hit Pasta Zanmai for dessert. I went there with Satish before and I loved the dessert. We had the nicest time eating our vegetarian pasta and since their dessert was superb, I saved my stomach for ice cream and crepes!. We ordered like 6 dishes. Strawberry ice cream, banana-chocolate, green tea and black sesame, and the best of all-strawberry crepes!

My banana-chocolate

My half eaten grub

Boby's Green team-black sesame

The sweetest dish of all--strawberry crepe! Although I must say the crepe wasnt so fresh..

Love the berries and the cream..it was so heavenly!

Tab came up to RM 95
Who said desserts are cheap these days?!

Mom and dad

Boby and her dessert; she didnt order it, I had accidently ordered extra. Hey, who's complaining?

Second round of dessert

Brother polishing off everything

Yum Yum!!

Tooth Ache

Brocade Blue Sunday, July 19, 2009 0 Comments

My wisdom molar was hurting me so much it became a nightmare just to eat daily. The constant pain that hovers for 30 mins every time I eat a meal. Finally, I could take it no more and went to get it surgically-removed. The whole procedure took less than 15 mins. The removal of the stitches took like 5 mins!

Now my lower jaw looks perfectly clean and I can eat healthy

My Fragile tooth

Just look at it! Poor thing was half broken, filthy with food debris and it was growing up sideways, not a nice tooth this was. Only 1/3 of the tooth was visible.

Next up: right wisdom molar

After that: teeth whitening

Cost me RM 500 a pop

Lasagna and Family

Made lasagna at home again. This time I included the Bechamel Sauce and all true-Italian herbs(basil thyme, pepermint, oregano) inside. Loved it. Loved it. Loved. This is one recipe i love to make. It was soo fattening and rich I could feel my fat spanding right after this heavy meal. Nothing better than to finish it off with wine

Lovely isnt it?

Can you see the melted cheese? I used Cheddar and mozarella

Still got stacks of Blue cheese, mozarella and matured cheddars for the pizza

I dont remember where i got this recipe from, but I tried it at home, expecting it to turn pink like the one i saw online but it looked orangish...and it tasted good...just plain good, then after a day of two in the fridge, it became bland and it stank. But it was good Day One.
