Meatballs

This is so easy to make and you can make it in a jiffy. Since I have ~300g of minced meat in the fridge, decided to turn them into meatballs as it is the easiest :) For soy sauce, I used Heng Lee Sauce aka Rose brand soy sauce. This is the best soy sauce in the market. Locally made and worth every cent of your money. There was an article about it on Star in September 2008. Could not find the official website of the company. You can get it anywhere at your local market dry stalls or at Sunshine (could not find it at Tesco or Giant) and the price shud be no more than RM6.50. Ingredient: 300g minced meat 1 small onions (cut into cubes) 3 shitake mushroom (soak in water before cutting them into cubes) 2 tablespoon Heng Lee soy sauce or any brand of soy sauce (depends on your liking) 1 teaspoon of Maggi perencah nasi goreng or powder chicken stock Method: Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl and roll it into balls (sizes according to your liking). Bake in oven (preheat the oven) in 180C for about 20mins.

assorted food

 

ecomony mee @ sunshine market

Another good breakfast meal is fried noodles.

 

There are many stalls of this kind in the sunshine sq food court but

The one I like best is located directly opp the entrance to the fruit/sundry/pork area of the market.

 

And as usual, there are many varieties: fried beehoon, fried mee, fried koayteow or fried maggi.

Me, I always go for the fried mee. Always satisfying.

Took and additional packet of combo maggi+koay teow. Didn’t really like it..

The noodle is not too salty and not too oily and not too soft..

Oh yea, The chilli is equally important, both blended and sliced.

cupcakes galore...

Elpea made some “elmo” cupcakes for ry’s’ 5^th birthday in his kindy…

She made a few types of coloured icing.

They look and taste pretty good.

But she was not too happy with the “red” as she couldn’t get “elmo red”

I liked the blue though

choco-banana pie and special choc cake @ starbucks

Starbucks Chocolate banana pie

It’s getting more and more disappointing every time I eat this.

Words that come to my mind: Hard, bland, flaky, mana banana?

I didn’t like the crust at all. Maybe it’s just me. And I felt there was not enough banana. (thinking of secret recipe’s choc banana cake..)

:-P… 3/10

 

Starbucks Special choc cake

#1, its myr9 for a slice…!!!!!!!!!!!

#2, um, its very chocolatey

#3, eer, its soft like cake looh..

I give it 5/10 because I like the brownie at Secret recipe better and cheaper…. (yaya, I know.. “brownie” does not equal “cake”.. shaddaplah you…)

lohbak which my dad buys for us..

One of my favorite foods is lohbak. It’s basically strips of seasoned pork wrapped in a ‘soy based’ skin/wrapping and deep fried. I can remember my mum and aunt preparing this dish when I was a kid. They would slice the pork into strips, season with salt/pepper and 5 spice powder then wrap them in the soy wrapping and deep fry them. Quite tedious and time consuming, which is why I remember my mum making it only once in a while.

 

I’ve eaten other lohbaks but this is one of the better ones that I’ve tasted. Some make it with minced pork but I feel using pork strips is better. It gives it a harder texture with more “crunch”. Minced pork makes it “soft”.

My dad normally buys 10 pieces for us. I do not know the exact location of the shop but i know its at mt erskine.

 

Overall rating of 8/10
