Freestyle Cooking

Yesterday I got too bored, had nothing much to do. I also happen to be hungry so what else? Off I went to my kitchen to cook something for me. To be honest, there wasn't much options in my kitchen. Checked in my freezer, there was a new unopened packet of vegetarian soya chicken, just grabbed it right away. I took out about 10 pieces of the chicken, 1 red onion, 1 potato, cut and shredded all of them separately and put them in a bowl and it looked like this:


After that, I broke 1 egg into it, seasoned it with salt and pepper, mixed it all up, and 'grilled' it on my tosai kalle :p (a flat pan used to make thosai since I had no grilling utensil) with some oil. Final result is this:




It was not bad actually. You can eat it on its own, but I find it tastier when you eat it with Gardenia bread or any other bread with chili sauce in it of course! Yummmmaaayyyyyyyyyy!!!!

Lamb Sliders

Came across a cool recipe over the internet. Lamb Sliders. Simple and delicious. Basically ground lamb mashed and grilled, sandwiched between 2 breads. Small cute burgers. I'm amazed at the simplicity of cookery and its art, for we can come up with such simple dish but very tasty and tempting at the same time. Of course, that lamb sliders go with your cold Special Brew on a Saturday night while watching football. Muhahahahaha. Beauty.

Ammale Kokkoi!!!

Kuih, cakes, desserts, that's what I love. But I'm not the kind of person who goes for the fancy gourmet style desserts or cakes, I'm more into the old-school conservative tea time delicacies. You know, the ones that you mum makes for the teatime on a sunny Tuesday evening. Accompanied by the good ol tea with milk, of course "tarik"-ed. Banana cekodok, the dark brown fried round balls. How about anchovies instead of banana? Prawn? Wait a minute, I've never had any prawn cekodok before, haha. One of my favourites is the random shaped light brown fried anchovies with onion thingy :p or more typically and affectionately called kokkoi. You dip it in a hot Maggie chillie sauce, and open your mouth as big as possible and bite the biggest part of the thingy you can. I just call it kuih to be simple. Don't miss that hot nice teh tarik made by your mum. Watch some nice clippings of tamil movie comedies on Sun TV while having the tea and kuihs at about 5.40pm with your mum and baby niece. That's another bits and pieces of life that I call..simply, life.
