A Homemaker’s Diary

Well, about a month ago I went to Marche in the Curve for dinner. It was not a planned dinner, both of us were starving and we had hard time to choose the place to eat. So we ended up in Marche. It was our second time there, of course the environment was good, service was excellent though the food taste too bland for my Malay tongue..hahaha..Nevertheless we had good time and of course the expensive bills. I think the dinner bill could cater for a week’s meals..huhuhu…

So, to cut back on the budget, I resorted to cook at home for a week or two. Simple and delicious home cooked meals are not too hard to make, except sometimes the laziness seems to be enveloping my brain and limb..hahaha..

So for those who like to know how I cook the daging goreng with suhun (Beef fried with rice noodles), here it goes. Oh BTW, if you dont know what is suhun or rice noodle, check this page out.

1. Cut the beef anyway you like, but make sure you cut the right way so that the meat will stay tender. To know your type of beef -tenderloin, steaks, brisket etc check this page.

2. Wash it and add salt and turmeric powder onto your cut meat. Let it soak the taste for a while.

3. Put the rice noodle (suhun) in hot water if you need to soften them fast. Otherwise tap water will do. Once they are soften, drain the water and put them aside.

4. Prepare your tamarind paste. You need about 2 tablespoon of it in the dish.

5. Slice some big onion, red chili and ginger. Put aside about 2 tablespoon of soysauce. Kicap Tamin will do..hehehe

6. Heat the oil and throw in your beef. Wait until the liquid from the beef dry up a bit then throw in sliced onion, chili and ginger.

7. Put the tamarind paste, a little bit of salt, sugar (if you want), the soysauce and the soft suhun. Make sure the taste is right before you put the suhun it. Suhun dries up the liquid fast.

8. Mix them well and when the suhun is cooked, take them out and put in your plate.

Hope you will have good time eating this dish!

When it’s raining outside, wouldn’t it be nice to have something to eat, something yummy and hot, try eat this daging goreng with suhun with nasi putih panas, put some soysauce on top..this is what I call comfort food, even those dishes served in Italian 5-star restaurant couldn’t beat this..hahaha

It’s Monday afternoon and I’m starving…huhuhu…I think I’m having the cook’s block..(something like writer’s block) but in this case I just dont know what to cook, or simply I’m so lazy to drag myself to the kitchen and cook…hehehe…

I have updated my news.bungatelur.com site and informed everyone that no bunga telur making class will be held in March, due to the fact that I have orders to be completed…just hope that I have enough courage and high spirit to dodge all the procrastination factors…hehehe..well that again is not between me and the devils, but between me and my lazy self..I have to really get going this time because by now I should learn the lessons that doing the orders at last moment wouldn’t do me any good..remember Dec ’06, those 3 days 3 nights marathon to complete the bunga dulang should spark some common sense into my brain..

But now I’m starving and this quarter meal set just looks yummy in the picture..if only I am one of the Superheroes that can change pictures into real thing…keh keh keh…I wonder why there’s no such power in superheroes stories..
