Ikan pari masak lemak @ Tempura Prawn @ Huat Kuih

* This post is dedicated to CL, currently in Vietnam again, pity her so much.. but, you can place order from me when u're back and I will be more than happy to cook for you. Haha.. *

Time to save money... and home cook food is still the best and cheap! Well, if you really want to save money, be like an aunty, go pasar and grab fish, chicken, prawn, veges and cook them yourselves. It will definitely be cheaper than you eat outside and also most importantly, no MSG! If you want to keep healthy hair, learn to COOK! So, here were all the dishes I cooked last weekend.

The very first time I had ikan tenggiri masak lemak was during my PD trip. It was so delicious that I simply can't resist and decided to learn how to cook. The steps were pretty simple, just throw everything. As simple as abc.

Santan Cair and pekat

Serai

Cili Padi / red chilli

1 keping asam gelugur

1 inci kunyit hidup

3 ulas bawang merah

Garam dan serbuk perasa secukupnya

Steps :
=====

1. Wash the fish, and cut according to the size that you want.

2. Blend the chili, onion and kunyit hidup.

3. Dump all the blended ingredients, santan pekat, serai and asam gelugur into a pot.

4. Leave it to boil and add in fish and salt.

5. Let it boil until the fish is cook and the sos is thick.

6. Tips : You can add brinjal if you like.
(I found this recipe online, perhaps Ieta can help better in this. So I can improve. My favorite dish.. hehe)

Tempura Prawn

I just wonder why the tempura prawn that I fried were just sooo different from my mom's. I used the same flour, perhaps the mixture is too thick or what. I'm not sure. Haha... So, since this is not a successful one, I will not share the recipe.. wait till I make perfect tempura first. Hahahah... =D

(Please don't laugh yea, my first time frying this ok..hehehe)

Huat Kuih

This is also not really perfect. Only the look is good, but the bottom of this cake is hard. Wahahahaha.... failure again. So, no recipe also.. till I make it perfectly. Luckily the flour is cheap for try and error. =D Based on this picture, one lesson to remember which is "Never judge the book by its cover". Always look at the inward. It goes the same for your life partner.. look at the inward and not outward :)
