So What!

I am a normal person who do normal things, who likes to collect all kinds of weird, silly, nice, sad, and horror photos and share them with the rest of the world. I also love all kinds of animals and I think God is great for creating such animals to be on earth. Those people who has no conscience beating and abusing animals are insane. That's why you can see 80% of the photos in here are all about animals. I do not want to take credit for photos in my blog as these were all taken from re blogging from others, thank you all for sharing with me all the photos. If you want to know where I took the photos just click on the link on each photos. I hope you enjoy my blog.

Pucuk Manis or Mani Cai Leaves with Egg

Yesterday at Pasar Tani Melawati, I spotted sayur Pucuk Manis or the Chinese calls it Mani Cai (马尼菜).  I bought a bunch of it that cost me only RM 3.00. A bunch probably 350 grams.  It may look a lot but once you cook it, it will be wilted and it won’t be that much.  I have not cooked sayur pucuk manis for a very long time.  We only ate it whenever we ordered Pan Mee at one of the best Pan Mee…

Jeruk Mangga with Asam Boi

Mangga, mangga, mangga, this is my all time favourite fruit.  Mangga or Mango in English is generally sweet.  Some have a soft pulpy texture while others are firmer.  My mother’s garden have 3 types of mango trees; the sweet mangoes, the very sour mangoes and mangoes that taste like a mixture of green apples and mangoes.  Last week when we visited my mom, I decided to pluck about 10 pieces of the…

In Malaysia, we call this “Nasi Daging Utara”, a delicious simple meal that is always being served during festivities or a small family gathering.  The recipe doesn’t require a long list of ingredients like “Nasi Arab” and to make it also very simple.

Serves: 6 / Preparation Time: 30 mins / Cooking Time: 40 mins

Ingredients:

3 cups Basmathi rice

1 big yellow onion – thinly slice

1 large size tomato – removed skin and cut into smaller cubes

3 cloves of garlic – thinly slice

1 cm fresh young ginger – thinly slice

1 screwpine leaves (pandan leaves) – cut into 4 pcs

2 tbsp kurma powder – mix with a little bit of water to form a paste

1 pc Maggi chicken cube

2 tbsp vegetable cooking oil

1/2 cup condensed milk – optional

400 grams of beef meat – cut into cubes and boil until tender

Note: Boil the meat until tender.  The juice of the meat will be used to cook the rice that will give extra sweetness taste to the rice.

1tbsp Ghee

Note: Ghee is a class of clarified butter that was originated from the Indian subcontinent

  Spices:

1 stick of cinnamon

2 pcs of cardamon

1 pc clove of flower

4 pcs pomegranate flower door

  Sauces:

4 pcs big red chilli

10 pcs bird’s eye chilli

1 big onion – thinly slice

1 big tomato – removed skin and cut into smaller cubes

2 tbsp sugar

2 tbsp tamarind paste

2 tbsp chili sauce

2 tbsp tomato sauce

2 tbsp kerisik

Note: Coconut grated, toasted and ground it into a paste. You can also buy a ready mate where you can find from any Asian shop

1 inch of belacan (shrimp paste)

Note: Put belacan in a foil, fold nicely and roast it in the oven for 2-3 mins

  Methods of preparation:

Boil meat in a big pot until tender. Put aside once cooked.

Wash Bashmati rice and then drain the water.  Put aside.

Heat a wok with vegetable cooking oil and Ghee.  Put in spices and fry for 1-2 mins.  Put in onion and fry until translucent.  Add in garlic and ginger.

Stir for 1 minute and then add in kurma paste.  If it is too dry, pour in a little bit of the juice from the meat so that the kurma paste didn’t get burnt.  Stir until the oil breaks.

Add in rice and screw pine leave and slowly stir for 1-2 minutes. Add in tomato that has been cut into smaller cubes and Maggi chicken cube.  Stir lowly on medium heat.

Add in juice from the meat.  The water measurement depends on the type of rice you are using.

Measurement for Basmathi Rice:

If you are using Basmathi rice, 1 cup of Basmathi rice is equivalent to 1 1/2 cups of water.  If you are using normal rice, 1 cup of rice is equivalent to 2 cups of water

In this recipe, we are using Basmathi rice.  So 3 cups of Basmathi rice is equivalent to 4 1/2 cups of water.  Since we are using juice from the meat, we will add in 4 1/2 cups of juice meat into the rice.  Or, we can also use 4 cups of juice meat and 1/2 cup of condensed milk.  I hope this measurement is clear.

After that transfer the whole mixture into a rice cooker.  And let it cook until the rice is soft.  Once cooked, open the lid and slowly use a fork to mix through the rice.  This is to ensure the rice is not broken.

For sauces, blend big red chilli, bird’s eye chilli, belacan, sugar and tamarind paste with water or juice from the meat.

  Pour the blended ingredient into a bowl and add in thinly sliced onions, tomatoes, kerisik, tomato sauce and chilli sauce.  Taste it and it should have a sweet sour-ish taste to it.

Now your rice is ready to be eaten with the sweet and sour sauce.

Kuih Koci Meleleh

I am an ardent fan of a traditional dessert.  When I was small I was so much like eating Kuih Koci that is being wrapped in banana leaves.  I remember helping my grandmother in the kitchen folding the desert with banana leaves where my mom gave up doing it as she said she hasn’t had a creative hand, whatever that means.

So, today while googling for the Kuih Koci recipe, I found this wonderful…

Do not think that love in order to be genuine has to be extraordinary. What we need is to love without getting tired. Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.
