Supper @ Oregano

Bout a night or two ago, darling & i went to Oregano for supper. 

Myself & him (he was using the new hat i bought him)

We did not order anything heavy. Just fries..

and coleslaw ;)

Love the coleslaw. Such a generous portion! We could not finish em though, cause we're already very full actually from dinner. 

Oregano is moving to Jln Kereta api sooon. I heard it'd be round November. Not quite sure the exact date but should not be wrong (hopefully) bout the move. Oh well, i was just trying to find something to blog about otherwise this blog would be so dead. For i have found new passion in twittering instead. Precise and easy but somehow everything i type is limited to 140 letters only. A bit too little but i still survive anyway. God bless.

Brownies ♥

Made brownies yesterday. For i have sweet tooth, i like everything chocolaty =) it's so yummmeh~

So now, im gonna share the recipe below, however do note that i've amended the original recipe cause i like this one better. I tried twice and it's a success for me so im planning to share the recipe that i've amended. FYI, i got the original recipe from internet too but i dun remember which site..sorry. 

Above: This is one of em..i made two.

Recipe:

2 large eggs

50g flour - i use super fine flour/ hkg flour

3-4tbsp cocoa powder - depends on how chocolaty u want it to be

100g chocolate - i prefer to use dark chocolate, it wont taste too sweet

70g sugar - if u use normal baking chocolate i suggest u amend it to around 50g

1 tsp vanilla extract

* a bit of milk (optional)

*chocolate chips/almond bits (optional)

for the topping i melt some baking chocolate and added a lil fresh cream ( you can use milk if you dun have fresh cream at home ). just pour the melted chocolate on top of the brownies..ohh not forgetting, if you have vanilla ice cream at home....go for it ! put one or two scoops on top and you're set to feast on something reaaaaally yummmmeh!

*** if you use dark chocolate u may use 70g sugar as usual but if you use normal baking chocolate, it is wise to lessen the sugar else it'll taste too sweet. though brownies usually taste rich chocolaty and sweet, we must also watch out for our health. too sweet is never too good for the health =)

p/s: do take note on this ! you can double this recipe cause this recipe is half of the original one. BUT i advice you never to triple the above recipe cause the brownie will turn out hard when you refrigerate it. im telling you based on my own experience =/

Happy baking ! =)

Black Teddy

According to Wikipedia:


Black Rice is one of several black-colored heirloom plants producing rice variants such as Indonesian Black Rice, Forbidden Rice. High in nutritional value, black rice is rich in iron. Unlike other black rice from Asia, it is not glutinous or rough. This grain is high in fiber and has a deep, nutty taste. Black "forbidden rice"-so named originally because it was considered the Emperor's rice and was literally forbidden for anyone else to eat it. It is a deep black color and turns deep purple when cooked. Its dark purple color is primarily due to its high anthocyanin content. It has a relatively high mineral content (including iron) and, like most rice, supplies several important amino acids. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And yes.. my mum love to buy black rice. It's easy to buy em over here cause we have many types of black rice ranging from good quality to normal ones. Im not sure of the price but it should be around the same price as white rice are sold. Anyway, i made bento today...cause im bored at home. 


Shape: TEDDY BEAR's HEAD
Rice: Black Rice
Filling: Black Pepper Pork Slices (1 slice for each bento)

P/S: I heard black rice is also quite good for skin ((=

Nan Ru Pork Belly

Fresh from my kitchen  =P~

Okay. Time for the recipe. This is my own recipe according to my family's and my own liking.

Ingredients:

3 layer pork

bits of salt

bits of pepper

fermented bean curd (in chinese, it's called "nan ru") -- i use only 1 cube of nan ru

few drops of maggi seasoning sauce

about 1 to 2t of sesame oil

calamansi lime (or is it kalamansi?)

Method:

mix all the ingredients together and marinate the pork for at least half an hour before frying or grill it inside the oven.. before serving, squeeze the lime juice on top of the meat ! that's all. yeah i mean it. no kidding. it's as easy as that.

p/s: FOR BETTER TASTE, marinate it overnight..i marinate mine for few hours only though, cause i suddenly wanna cook this dish. 

Happy trying it out then =) and I hope you like it.

Here, have some........

...sushi, anyone ?

err...

eh ?

Wait !

No..no..not sushi.

Donut ?

Yeapp ! That's right. Sushi lookalike donuts !

How ADORABLE is THAT ?!

Instead of wasabi and the soy sauce, this one's the love of all, CHOCOLATE SAUCE !! *yumsilicious*

Bf's sis bought em. Since last night we just filled our tummy with glorious food in conjunction of father's day dinner (inadvance), we had to tapau it back to my home and feast on it while watching football.


The one at far end at right side, the icing was somehow spoilt.

How can anyone resist to eat it ? When i first saw it i quickly pop a question, "can i take photo first?" Haha. It taste just as good as it look. *thumbs up*

above picture looks much better than the one below

Took this picture first and realise it dun look good. The cheese melted long time before i even took the picture so i put a lil more on top and took the first picture as shown. (=



Spaghetti ! one of my favs.. bolognese. As i type im 'salivating' inside my mouth hahahahah.. got such word ? My bf doesnt take beef so i have to divide the portion into two..

1. beef and

2. pork ham


~'~"~'~"~'~"~'~"~'~"~'~"~'~"~'~"~'~
My own Recipe:

• a packet of ur own choice of spaghetti noodle
• do buy the bottled tomato puree and/or any fav brand pasta sauce (well, this is for lz ppl like me who wants to make life easier) hahaha..i use diff brand all the time. eg: san remo and prego....
• cheeeeeeeeeese is a must.. you can put cheddar cheese for extra cheese flavouring but do use either parmesan or mozzarella so you can have the springy cheese effect for every scoop up (my fav part.. hehe)
• chop onions and garlics
• prepare meat (mince beef or pork / ham slices / seafood like prawns, crabmeat, squid), estimate according to your liking per dish
• mushrooms, tomato - sliced accordingly
• olive oil - 2-3 tablespoons would do good already
• chilli powder, cheese powder, pepper, salt - to taste

p/s: like i said, this is my own recipe..if you have better ones then by all means use the better one. ty

On tuesday, i had a tiring yet eventful day but end up with a rather disturbing case at night.

In the morning, bf's dad, bf and i, went to bau. Just for fun. We started our journey at around 11am. Then somehow or rather we just thought after all we drove all this far here already, we might as well go to Turn Red cafe(or was it restaurant? forgot) cum mini zoo. It wassssssssss HOT. The time we reached there was like noon time. Adults Rm8 and children half the price. We walked under the hot blazing sun to just see animals. Some pics of the animals;

Doe a deer a feeeemale deer.....

Looks like mr&mrs Peacock aint showing off their beautiful feathers..waited damn long under the hot 1pm sun for the damn pcock to show us their thing but they wont !!

" WHY U TAKE MY PIC?!" lol

I R BABOON..........

.....but i smart baboon !

Then after touring round the place, we had our lunch at the cafe. After lunch, back home we head. I reached home around a quarter before 4pm. At around 5++ we went to Evans' house to meet up and around 6++ we went to prawn fishing until approximately 830pm. It was dark, and too many mosquitoes, so we left. Then half way down from batu kawa, bf's dad called and say that his car is missing !! So we rushed to huising where his dad is waiting for us. Then head to simpang3 police station and reached around 9pm . blablablah. Then i go home and bf goes home.

Should that missing car problem did not arise, it would have been a fun filled day for us. Oh well.. its not like any of us want that to happen..and thanks to YOU for replying my msg and helped to forward msgs. TQvm!!
