Dome - Subang Parade

We were in Subang Parade the other day when I decided to try food in Dome.

Initially I ordered linguini but I got spaghetti instead. Luckily they gave beef bacon as per my order otherwise I would be really pissed off with the waiter.

For me, the spicy Olio Pasta was kind of good since it was..errr.. spicy. But somehow with the portion size, I just think it is overpriced for a plate of pasta.

Hubby ordered their Lot Burger. Not much to be shouted about. Our little one had biscotti.

The verdict? Not a place that I want to go and eat again..huhu!

Ikan Bakar Bagan Lalang

This was our second visit to H.M Bagan Lalang restaurant this year. Since so many people came to my food blog looking for ikan bakar bagan lalang, here is another entry of such jalan-jalan cari makan trip.

We ordered ikan pari (stingray) bakar but I forgot to snap the picture. Here is the picture of sotong bakar. I purposely asked them to clean the inside of the squid and cut them this way so that the inner side will be garing..hehe!

I can’t recall what kind of fish we chose that night. But it was cooked 3 rasa which turned out to be more to sweet sour taste (maybe because of the pineapple!)

Their butter prawns..I love them! We even packed the leftover home because we can’t finish everything there and then.

Keep on reminding myself - Mussels is kupang, and here is kepah or clams. It was cooked sup serai. Just to have something to hirup while having all kind of seafood with plain rice.

My all time favorite when I go there, pepahat masak cili. But alas, this time the pepahat were smaller and their shells are very fragile and brittle. It was such a hassle to eat them because the shells broke into pieces..isk!

See you again next year in 2010, Bagan Lalang!

Wheat, wheat, wheat!

Have you ever heard about How Wheat Works? It is an interactive, online multimedia program that delivers a farm-to-fork education on wheat, enabling a better understanding of its nutritional value.

I’m sure many of us have eaten breads, all kind of pasta and all the different types of wheat food. But I’m sure not many of us are aware of wheat goes through - from the time its seed is planted until it appears on your plate as bread, pasta, tortilla and more. The interactive game will let you learn all there is to know about the most-consumed grain in America.

Through the interactive program that is filled with factual information, vibrant video and 3-D animation and fun, educational activities, you will plant, harvest, mill, bake and virtually eat your wheat. Simply pick the wheat product you want to create and track its path from the wheat field to the table.

Each of the four phases takes just a few minutes to complete. Approximately one day from the completion of a phase, you will receive an email prompting you to return to the site and continue to the next phase. (Now this sounds like farming in Farmville, huh!)

For each person who completes this program, the Wheat Foods Council will donate two pounds of flour to OperationHomefront.net. The Operation Homefront is a non profit organization that provides emergency assistance and morale to American troops, to the families they leave behind, and to wounded warriors when they return home.

They will donate up to 90,000 pounds of flour, which is about 2,143 bushels of wheat and it can be used to bake 1,440,000 blueberry muffins.

These donations are made possible by their members at ADM and ConAgra, two of world’s largest millers.

So let’s we all be generous this Holiday season, donate your time and let it be exchanged into wheat that could feed people who really need them.

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Wheat Food Council. All opinions are 100% mine.

Cupcake Chic, The Curve

I’ve been searching for a cake place to celebrate my son first birthday early this month and this outlet of Cupcake Chic at The Curve came to mind.

I am not into cake so I thought blowing the candles on tiny cupcakes would be good enough. After all we the parents will be the one who has to eat the cake..heh!

I can’t remember the other 2 cupcakes (Hubby chose them), but the other two with spoons are Cookies n Cream and Butter Pecan. Next time I want to try Lemon Meringue and Jaffa.

It would be nice if we can sit back, take our time to eat the cupcakes slowly while sipping on drinks, but with a kid on tow who was at the brink of crankiness after a long and tiring day, we didn’t even finish those cupcakes.

Oh, for those celebrating birthday, they do sell birthday candles as well.

Subway, The Curve

I always want to try sandwiches at Subway but every time we were in shopping mall and passed by the Subway outlet, I would feel like eating something else.

So the other day, while looking for place to have late lunch at the Curve, I decided to try their sandwich meal menu. I took one set meal with chips and the other set with cookies..(to bribe the little one to sit still for a while so that Mama could enjoy her sandwich..heh!)

The picture above is Hubby’s 6-inch sandwich of Meatball Marinara. The bread type is Parmesan Oregano. I chose Spicy Italian with pepperoni and salami for my sandwich but I was too hungry and forgot to snap my sandwich’s picture..huhu! Overall, I love Subway’s sandwich as it comes full with varieties of vege and cheese (and I get to choose what kind of vege I want to put into my sandwich)

We were given free 2010 calendar with monthly coupons of mostly Buy 1 Free 1 sandwich offer. Now I have more valid reasons to stop by at Subway outlet next time I am in the shopping mall..haha!

Gift Her Freedom

I was out at the shopping mall the other day. People were busy with Christmas shopping. However if you were like me who are forever occupied with so many things each day but still have to look for the perfect gift for this festive season, have a look at GiftCardMall.com

If you know someone with penchant for fishing, you can give him or her the Bass Pro Gift Card with a maximum value of $500, or a minimum of $5.00 (what could you buy for $5.00 these days?..huhu!).

Of course you have a lot more of options to choose from at the Gift Card Mall™. For people like me who likes to cook and dine out, you are always welcomed to buy me a gift card from Applebee, Chili’s or Subway. But please make sure that the value will be more than $5.00..haha!

Pulut Kuning

I always feel that pulut kuning is part of ceremonial dishes that people have especially during event like khatam quran, cukur jambul, wedding ceremony and such.

Some call it nasi kunyit but I tend to think it as pulut kuning (glutinous rice in yellow). Don’t ask me how to cook it since I never cook such dish myself. But I do have the rough idea like you have to soak the glutinous rice in turmeric powder overnight, and you can either tanak like you cook normal rice or you steam and add in santan to make it more lemak and delicious.

The pulut kuning can be eaten with curry, rendang or serunding, your choice! But I would prefer rendang daging..heh!

Portuguese Grill, Mid Valley

I’ve been meaning to write about Portuguese Grill in Mid Valley after I tried the food there since August and only managed to do so now..heh!

For those who wonder where is this food outlet, it is located at the new food court in Mid Valley where there used to be IT centre.

As per recommendation by many friends, we decided to try the food there since they said the grilled food they serve are very nice.

Hubby ordered pari bakar with petai. And I ordered kangkung as vege dish.

For the main dish, I ordered prawn with bendi. Overall for me, it was good but it was not something that I want to eat again (maybe because I don’t like the small scaly crabs they put inside the chili paste).

For those who like spicy, oily and grilled food, you are welcomed to try Portuguese Grill food! Do share your review, maybe you have some other great dish to recommend for me to try next time I am in Mid Valley..hehe!

IKEA Meatballs

This picture of meatballs in IKEA restaurant was taken in April 2008. But I guess if you go there now, you will still get to buy this kid’s menu of meatballs (not sure about any change in price though!)

The day that I ate this, I also ate Gravad Lax. That was why I opted for kid’s menu instead of the normal portion of meatballs. I like the cranberry sauce that comes with the meatballs. At first I thought it tasted weird to have something sweet with meat (the first time I ate meatballs in IKEA) but after a few more meals, it tastes just right..hehe!

But I still eat the fries with chili sauce..I guess you can’t run away from the fact that Malaysians like spicy food…(even if they are pretending to enjoy Swedish food..haha!) So if you are in Mutiara Damansara area, head to IKEA restaurant and have their famous meatballs.

Resepi Rendang Ayam

People has been asking me the recipe of my rendang ayam since I uploaded the first entry. The thing is I don’t have an accurate measurement when I cook such dishes thus the reason why it is hard for me to tell them how to cook this rendang ayam.

For those who know the basic of cooking, I hope you will have the idea on how much the main ingredients like bawang, halia, serai etc that needed to be cut to balance how much the meat that you are going to cook.

I was browsing through past years magazines on food to cooked for jamuan rumah terbuka and Hari Raya when I found 2 recipes of rendang that could be combined to be my recipe (except for the measurement)

Here is roughly how I made this rendang ayam:

Bahan-bahan:
1.5kg ayam
Minyak masak
2 sudu makan kerisik
1 kg santan pekat
2 cawan air
2 helai daun kunyit (dimayang halus)
Garam kasar

Bahan Dikisar:
Cili kering
Bawang besar
Bawang merah
Bawang putih
Halia
Lengkuas
Kunyit Hidup
Serai

Cara Membuatnya:
1. Panaskan minyak, tumis bahan yang telah dikisar hingga berbau harum.
2. Kemudian masukkan ayam, kacau hingga sebati.
3. Masukkan santan pekat dan air. Kacau lagi dan biar kuah mendidih.
4. Bila separuh masak, masukkan kerisik dan garam secukup rasa. Biar kuah menjadi agak pekat.
5. Akhir sekali, masukkan daun kunyit untuk menaikkan bau sajian.
