Of Sushi & Bahay

Wah. I am stuffed! With sushi. And tempura :)

I like tempura! Hahahaha. I've come to realise that I can't really take sashimi. The previous i.e. first, time I ate at Hei Sushi, my friends were asking me to eat this and that, including quite a bit of sashimi, and I was kinda sick of it.

But Shez loves it, so okay I gave it a try again. Only ate one sashimi sushi. Hahaha! Cannot lah. Difficult to swallow. Hehe. The best dish we tried was the tempura ice cream! Sedap lah! And quite cheap too! I wanna bring *someone* there! Can hor? Can can can? Hehehe :)

I bought QWERTY materials. Finally. Some progress! :) I shall start on it REAL soon!

I'm happy! :)

Listed down the things to bring/do/buy for the new home. I wanna call it Bahay! HAHAHAHA. Not really sure how it's supposed to sound. I just googled for a translation of the word "home". Bahay, Filipino for home. So there's two projects now, QWERTY and preps for Bahay. Not much time left!

I wanna watch Public Enemies and Harry Potter! I hope I get to :) The trailer looks interesting! Uber cool! Johnny Depp as a famous bank burglar?! Awesome! I love smart and sophisticated burglary movies. I do hope we can slot in these in our schedule. And the movie has Eric Bana too! Batman! Woohoo.

Daiso Ramekins

Finally finally went to Daiso!! Wanted to go there for ages already! The first thing I came in, went to the cooking section. Found my ramekins! But they're not white. Oh wells. Can't be choosy for $2 ramekins! There were white ones, but super small white ramekins. And pie tarts too! Oooh so tempting! But I don't know when I'll make tarts hurhur. Actually I'm still thinking what I should bake using these ramekins. I remember having one of those "I wish I had ramekins right now" moments but I can't remember when. Maybe when I was making lava cake . Daiso is evil. It's so cheap you just feel like coming back again! Oh and did I mention there's a $2 weighing scale?! Measures up to a kilo but that's quite alright for baking isn't it! I mean, $2!! Dirt cheap lah. Not sure about the accuracy though. Didn't do much cleaning last weekend, very much spent lazing around at home just like what weekends should be like. I love being at ho

Apam Balik

I love apam balik. The soft one, with lots of corn. So when @khairulaming posted this on his instagram, I bookmarked it. The recipe is not too much until you get sick of eating apam balik, but I do feel it needs some tweaks to get the pancake king version. But not bad for a first try. 2 cups flour 1/2 cup sugar 1 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp baking soda 2 tbsp melted butter 1 1/4 cups water 1 egg Additional butter for the pan I do feel it needs some salt, more sugar and I shouldn't have liberally made it so thick HAHA. The pan is important too, I kinda burnt some parts of the pancake. Got them bubbles!! This recipe made 2 large pancakes. Also, the filling needs to be sprinkled with sugar liberally (read: 3 tbsp or so), my first try wasn't enough. Pancake was soft even for the next few days after that (kept in the fridge then reheated in the microwave). Husband found it to be acceptable, but I was kinda not okay with it but ohwells. I can tweak it

Rice Cooker Chicken Mushroom Claypot

All in one pot cooking, what's not to love!  Got this off tiktok, but I figured the chicken and mushroom in the recipe isn't enough. Wasn't really one pot cooking cos I cooked half of the chicken on a pan then added it later after the rice cooker was done. Rice Cooker Claypot Chicken marinade: 600g boneless thigh, cut into cubes 6 garlic, pound 2 inch ginger, pound 6 tbsp soy sauce 2 tbsp oyster sauce 4 tbsp sweet soy sauce Rice: Half of the chicken marinade above 2 1/2 cups rice 2 1/2 cups water 3 tbsp sesame oil 2 tbsp soy sauce 1 1/2 chicken cube (maybe 2 also can) 300g shitake mushrooms Coriander leaves, cut Spring onions, cut Marinate the chicken and leave it for about 30 min. Wash the rice. Add half the chicken marinade and all other ingredients into the rice cooker and mix well Cook using rice cooker. I cooked the remaining chicken over the stove and added the chicken, juices and all, into the rice cooker when it was just about done and needed a few minutes to set. M
