Curry Laksa @ Asian Cuisine

I was craving for curry a few days ago, so when I had a chance last Thursday. I dropped by at Asian Cuisine on Collins Road to have a bowl of curry laksa. :p

The curry was very flavourful, very tasty. I thoroughly enjoyed it. However, my favourite curry laksa is still the one @ Northbridge food court, it is more expensive tho, $14 per bowl if I am not wrong.

Unfortunately, I got very thirsty after eating this curry, I think they used a lot of MSG. :(

Asian Cuisine do serve other yummy food like Wonton Mee, Fried Squid, Curry Ckicken Rice, Sambal Fish (my favourite), Mee Siam and Char Kuay Teow.

Pretty Agar Agar and Konyaku

I love agar agar, jelly, konyaku jelly since I was little. I can eat agar agar as my meal, crazy I know! Agar agar and konyaku are such easy recipe that no brainers could make them as well. Anyway, made these for Karen's engagement party as I was busy house hunting so I could only make something as easy.

I tried to mix sago and agar agar together, they turned out very well, the sago were transparent so they made some pattern on the agar agar. As for the agar agar, I just used the pre-mix and added coconut milk in it.

Made the konyaku with pre-mix as well and added lots of fruits to make them as colourful as possible. I get very happy when I see colourful (naturally) jelly. :p

SG Food Tasting 2 - KFC Hot Devil Drumlets

They were sooooo Yummy! We walked past a poster and I told Matt, "I am sooo going to try this!"

So when we walked past a KFC, I insisted us to go in, I wanted only a box of drumlets. I ordered the Thai Spicy drumlets.

They were sooo good, so juicy, so crispy, no tasty and oh so FATTENING, Matt let me have 2 and he had 1. I don't why they don't sell this in Perth! Why! WHy! Why!

SG Food Tasting - PIZZA IN A CONE

Yup, that's right. Eating pizza in a cone. When we walked pass the stall, Matt actually stopped to look at the menu and so did I. As usual, I was all excited, trying to look around the stall, checking the oven they had. The oven has a mini conveyor belt and several holders are placed on the belt.

So I approached the guy manning the stall, asked him what's he selling. He said PIZZA IN A CONE. Matt wanted to try and I was extremely curious, so I ordered one, one of their popular flavour - chicken curry; East meets West. Hahaha

Ahhhh... so the cone is actually a pizza base, then they put all ingredients in the cone then top with cheese, then placed the cone in one of the holders and the cone will pass through the oven on the belt. When it reached the exit, it was cooked!

I couldn't remember how much was the pizza, but it was only a few SG dollars, maybe $4.

IT WAS YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CHEAP, CONVENIENT AND YUMMY! We bought the pizza from Takashimaya food court.

I spoke to the man while waiting for the pizza, I told him I want to take the franchise back to Perth. He passed me a business card immediately. Hahaha... I think this has potetial in Aust market. Aussies love pizza, and how convenient to be able to eat pizza like eating an ice-cream for only $3-$4 each?

Anyone interested in a joint venture?

Red Cray Restaurant

I went to this restaurant with my parents, uncle and aunt, and a family friend when my parents visited Perth in April. Hahah.. and I am only writing about this in September :p

The food wasn't too bad, but wasn;t as good as I have expected. However, this restaurant is always so busy and if you want to dine there, you have to make reservation 1 week in advance (at least). We got in last minute thanks to my cousin who works there.

It was my shout that night and the bill came to about $250.00 after staff discount, thanks again to my cousin. So it was about $60 per person, mind you, that's because we ordered the most expensive dishes in the restaurant. We ordered 2 executive seafood platters, dad had lobster and with risotto, uncle had steak with lobster.

This is the executive platter that I shared with mom. The platter is meant for 2 persons. Mom doesn't take butter nor cheese. So she ate most of the lobster while I eat the cheesy fish.

Dad's lobster and prawn risotto. I didn't think dad enjoyed the dinner as he doesn't fancy seafood and he loves having rice for dinner. He asked me what's risotto, I told him it is rice, short rice... haha he didn't like it. He said it tasted funny. I told him not to touch his food till I took a pic of it, he asked me why must I take pic of all the food he eats. Hahaha...

Sweet and Sour Pork

Wow.. I have been so slack with my food blog. I have so many pics in my folder but I was so lazy to blog about them :( I fail as a food blogger ><

Anyway, made this several times and tasted pretty good. :)

Excuse the bad picture, think my hands shook again :(

Ingredients:

400g Pork (chops or tenderloin), pound the meat then slice

2 onion

1 large green capsicum

Canned pineapple cubes

Marinade:

1 tsp light soy sauce

1/4 tsp dark soy sauce

1 small egg

1 tbsp tapioca flour/plain flour

Sauce:

3 tbsp tomato sauce

1 tbsp oyster sauce

1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

1-1/2 tbsp sugar

1/2 tbsp vinegar

1/4 tsp salt or to taste

1/2 cup water

Marinate pork for a couple of hours.

Fry the pork slices till it is golden brown. This is a healthier way. I did try to deep fry the meat and taste good as well.

Slice onion and sauté till softened.

Add in capsicum. When capsicum is slightly soften, pour in the sauce ingredients. Bring the sauce to boil.

Return meat to the wok and add in pineapple.

Cook till the meat is covered by the sauce. Dish out and serve with rice.

Yum!

Dragon Palace Restaurant

I was craving for dim sum last weekend, but Matt didn't feel like it on Saturday, so we decided to have dim sum on Sunday instead.

Sunday morning, I woke up at 10am and kept hassling Matt to wake up and remind him that he promised to have dim sum with me. He couldn't resist my pastering, and finally woke up and took me to Northbridge.

As we've expected, all the dm sum restaurants were already packed at 11:30am. We wanted to go to Jade Dynasty as I think their dim sum is good and service staff are extremely efficient. Matt was frightened by the waiting crowd, so we detour to another restaurant. Then we decided to try this new restaurant called 'Dragon Palace', diagonally opposite ATO.

We were given a number and was told there would be a 15-20 mins wait. So we sat down and waited....waited. Finally we got to be seated, we were seated on a stage.

I think the stage is meant for wedding dinner, blablabla... Anyway, I was concerned that we wouldn't get any food as all the carts were moving on the floor below the stage! The staff assured me they will bring the food up.

Then we waited over 20 mins for our tea! We started eating (even finished a few plates) before we were given our pot of tea! We had to ask 3 different people for our tea, and finally the 3rd person got us our tea...tsk tsk BAD SERVICE!

HOWEVER, the food was good. Yummy and juicy dim sum..... but the service really did put me off. Matt knew I was fuming because he said my face said it all...hahahaha You know me with customer service. ><

Anyway, the food isn't cheap. For example, a small plate (smaller than other restaurants) of fried squid tentacles cost $5.90. (o.O)

P.S. while waiting for our table, we checked out their menu. :p the dishes aren't cheap at all. Hehe must try one day to see if the dishes are as good as their prices.
