In a way, i love instant noodles simply because they fill my stomach whenever i’m hungry. I do buy instant noodles once in a while. This Ibumie Har Mee caught my attention when i was out the other day.

Looks good, eh. Well, we wont know until we try them for ourselves.

What a wonderful sight. Eh… do you know i had a really hard time waiting for the right moment to snap this. The vapor keeps blurring my lens, lol.

Here are the contents of the thick soy sauce, palm oil and fried onion bits.

I’m sure you’ve been waiting to see how my Maxim 12cm egg frying pan performs, right…..

I did not add any oil to the egg frying pan. So far so good. What a wonderful sight. I love eggs, do you?

Here’s how the Ibumie Har Mee with egg looks like. I sprinkled the packet of chilli powder that came with it over the egg. The taste? PERFECT!!!!

My mother-in-law buys hairy gourds back every once in a while. Today, she asked me what to do with it and i suggested we make hairy gourd soup with it. I’ve not had hairy gourd soup for a long time and both my kids love it too. It’s easy to prepare. Just need to remove the peel and scrape out the seeds.

I found some red dates and dried oysters inside the fridge and decided to add those in as hairy gourds can be a bit bland. Dried oysters adds flavor to almost any kind of soup. The red dates will add sweetness. Yes, remove the seed from the red dates. Mother-in-law says to add some spare-ribs to the soup too cos she’s too lazy too cook it, lol. You can read instructions on how to get rid of pork smell here.

And here you go. A nice clear bowl of Hairy gourd soup with spare ribs, dried oysters and red dates. A really cooling soup recipe for the whole family.Get your man to eat the oysters. Contains lots of zinc which is the main ingredient for sperm production. Strong man = strong babies…. you get the drift….

I stock a lot of pasta and pasta sauce at home. I’m not too particular over which type of pasta i buy. I’ve tried spirals, ribbons, shells, penne, everything, lol. As for pasta sauce, i have a preference for Prego, especially their Roasted Garlic Parmesan. I always forget to buy Parmesan cheese. And even if i do, chances are i forget to finish it before the expiry date.

And here’s a plate of spaghetti which i made this afternoon. Too lazy to go out as the sky’s all dark and i dont want to get caught in the rain with two kids in tow. They can be a real handful if we were to be stuck at a restaurant, unable to leave for home.

Bought this bottle of Laleli Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Jaya Jusco. Dribble lots of it over the spaghetti with Prego pasta sauce and yummmmm. I drink from it straight from the bottle at times. This is NOT for cooking. I have another bottle which can be used for both cooking and as a dressing. And if you have constipation, a tablespoon of this three times a day will help ease your sufferings, lol. Believe you me, it works. And the same goes for Virgin Coconut Oil.

Lovely, isnt it. I made a few plates of these spaghetti with Prego pasta sauce for my hubby and kids. Too bad i’m out of McCormick’s parsley . If not, i’ll sprinkle some over the plate of spaghetti.

Mmmmm…… have a bite. Happy weekend, all

I didnt cook for Chinese New Year. This is one of the dishes my MIL made. It’s a homecooked chinese vegetarian dish and eaten on the 1st day of Chinese New Year. It’s a family tradition that never changes but i dont mind cos i’m not much of a meat eater anyway.
I hate being pressured to cook for a crowd. And i hate it even more when i’m expected to cook during festive celebration. But one day, sooner or later, i’ll have to cook for my family. Now is the time to experiment and learn more yummy dishes from my MIL.

Vegetarian dishes are good as they are nutritious and full of fibre. Guarantee no constipation, lol. Chinese vegetarian dishes are a great way to give the body a detox. Clears your digestive system of clogged up toxins. By the way, the Malaysia General Election day is on 8th March 2008. It’ll be good to eat this dish on that day as it keeps you full for a long time. I’ve been to the previous Malaysia Election Day before and i know how long the whole thing can be. So, do your part and cast your vote, ya.

My kid wanted to eat “lice”, and there’s leftover rice from last night. All it takes are some ingredients and i can dish out his favorite fried rice for him.




Ingredients: Frozen mixed vegetables, crab-sticks, onions, garlic and of cos, rice.




Preparation: Chop chop chop, cut cut cut….




The cooking process: Crack two eggs and season with a dash of soy sauce and a little pepper. Heat some olive oil in the wok, pour the egg in and stir-fry. Add the chopped garlic and onions.




Then add the mixed vegetables and crab-sticks in. Stir-fry until fragrant and add the rice in. Stir more until all looks well and into the bowl it goes. GAOTIM!!
Last 4 pictures taken by hubby with my Nokia N73, cos my Sony Cybershot T100 died on me halfway…. sigh. Sorry about the difference in pic quality. But the quality of the fried rice remains, that’s all that matters. Gordon doesnt like carrots and each time, i have to pick them out, ISH….. Fancy a bowl?
