Stir Fried Eggs WithTomatoes

This is my first time stir frying eggs with tomatoes. Somehow it just doesn't look right... kinda too wet. Maybe I should have cook them a little longer.

What I did was diced the tomatoes and remove the seeds. Heat up oil in wok and fry the tomatoes for a short while. Next pour in the beaten eggs seasoned with some soy sauce and pepper. Let it set for while before scrapping the centre to let the runny bit to cook. Then quickly stir and turn them. Dish up and serve.

Experts out there, please let me know if this is the correct way to make this dish? Thank you very much in advance.

Quick Corned Beef Snack

Should you have a snack attack in the middle of the night, some canned food would do wonders to the appetite! Hubby got back almost midnite one day and he was crying hungry. I looked thru the larder and found one can of corned beef. At that unGodly hour, I was too lazy to fire up the stove to do any cooking or cleaning, so the microwave oven came to play, else it will be used basically to heat up food in the household or cleaning/sterilising dish sponges.

What I did was dice up some onions and yellow capsicum. Heat up some olive oil in a glass casserole dish on high for 1 minute. Chuck in the onions and cook on high for another minute. Next put in the capsicum and stir to mix well. Cook on high for another minute. Pour in the corned beef and stir. Be careful here cos the contents sizzle a bit. Cook on medium for about 3 minutes or more. Crack in loads of black pepper and mix well.



Great with some bread. Sorry for the ghastly pictures, was too lazy to use my digicam nor change the settings on my phone.

Stir Fried Udon With Fish Slices

This is a simple but delicious stir fried noodle dish. I've used udon but I supposed you can opt for other type of noodles.

First marinade fish slices with some soy sauce, pepper and corn flour. Shallow fry them in batches till golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towel. Blanch the udon quickly in hot water then submerge the udon in cold water to stop them from cooking further.

Heat up some oil and fry some onion strips till translucent. Add in chopped garlic and fry till fragrant. Next, chuck in some shredded cabbage and carrots. Pour in some oyster sauce, fish sauce and some black pepper to taste. Stir in the udon and some water. Mix well and simmer till udon is cooked. Lastly add in the fried fish slices and stir lightly. Dish up and serve hot.

Review: Fishing Village Restaurant

Its getting scarier in Kepong nowadays... so many restaurants and eateries have opened in the new and up coming part of Kepong. They are located either in Metro Prima where Jusco is located or the opposite part where Carrefour is. There are many shoplots at these two places and traffic at times can be a nightmare, well unless you know the back roads haha.

Anyway, my parents have gone to this Fishing Village Restaurant for countless times so naturally one day they asked us to go along for some lip smacking yong tau foo (stuffed beancurd and vegetables). Fishing Village Restaurant can be easily located and parking is a breeze in this part of the shops. Best part is, this shop is air conditioned and it's clean, with the decor slightly better than kopitiam.

My mom had wanted the drunken chicken which she claimed is delicious but they have ran out of it so we opted for drunken prawns instead. I tell you, this dish is absolutely delicious till the last drop of broth were consumed. My mom made a kickass version of drunken chicken for my confinement but this one I tell you, is simply out of this world. The amount of rice wine used is generous but not over powering. Best of all the prawns are rather big and very fresh.



The yong tau foo here is HUGE!!! A bit pricy at 90 sens a piece but it's certainly worth it cos one piece is so huge that they usually cut it into half to be shared. The foo chuk (beancurd sheet) is deep fried to the crisp and my fave, in fact everyone's fave is the stuffed brinjal! The large brinjal pieces are generously filled with fish paste... ooooh so tasty! OMG I'm craving for some now and I just had some brinjal today for lunch haha!!! Anyway the yong tau foo here is not laden with beanpaste sauce ala Hakka style. The beanpaste sauce and chilli sauce are served separately.

Certain yong tau foo pieces like bittergourd, white soft beancurd and sui kow (dumplings) were served in a clear broth. The sui kow is mediocre only but the beancurd is really silky and again came in large pieces. I like bittergourd so enough said.



We also have an order of munn char yuk (Hakka style braised meat with black fungus) which is a thumb-up dish too. This is hubby's favourite dish so he whacked almost the whole dish by himself.



Overall, the food is enjoyable and we're definitely heading back for more.

Rude Encounter

I had an encounter with a very rude man last week, I was so shocked and angry with his action that I took his picture, of course without his knowledge but allow me to explain the situation...

It was already 7.30pm and I was waiting for my train to arrive at Masjid Jamek Station (Star Line). The moment I see the train approaching, I moved and stood next to the yellow line. I was lucky that by the time the train stopped, the door was right in front of me and I shifted towards the left of the door to let passengers to disembark. It is clearly seen that there were quite a number of seats were empty inside the carriage.

As the last of the passenger disembarked, I put my right foot onto the carriage and before I could step in further, this man...



... cut into my path from my right. Thank goodness I managed to stopped on time and grabbed onto the side of the door, otherwise I would have missed my step and something untoward could have happened.

Luckily (my good luck, his bad luck) I got a seat opposite this fler! I stared cock at him but he selamba pretend nothing only. That made me very angry actually, in fact more than over the incident earlier. The more I look at him, the more I feel like tearing his face to pieces!!! As I took out my phone to plug in my ear plugs, suddenly *tinktink* it occurred to me that I can take a picture of his Chow Ah Beng's face. Muahahaha... he die this time, I silently took a picture of him and only found time to upload now. The power of internet hahaha... see guys, do not offend a lady!

Being a man, he's so ungentlemen! Super kiasu (scared of losing) that he won't get a seat. No wonder he's so errr (fill in the blank)!!! Just look at his size. For goodness sake, even if he's behind me, he would have gotten a seat at that hour. And most importantly, he had never thought of the safety aspect of other passengers.

Dear sisters, if this guy is your boyfriend or husband, I really pity you. If you can, please run far far away from such a man. All I can see is that his face told me he's definitely an MCP, a typical cinapek that will not respect his woman.

I've mosaic a bit of his eyes but seriously if you wanna see a clearer picture of this man just let me know. I will post his photo big big for you to see clearly haha.

Thousands of apologies if the languages and his pic I've used in this post have offended you but seriously I can't stand such man and I'm not usually so bitchy like this. Excuse me...
