台湾红油抄手

Posted by ~YienYien~ on Nov 23, 2010 in Foodie, Taipei, Taiwan

红油抄手 “Hong You Chao Shou” is a famous delicacy in Taiwan.. originated from ShiChuan, China. “Hong You Chao Shou” simply means wonton (dumplings) in chilli oil.

We came across this nameless breakfast outlet near our condo apartment selling this chilli oil wonton noodle house..

Well.. not only selling chilli oil wonton noodle but lotsa porky parts noodle and rice

My call.. 蚝油大肠面.. Oyster sauce colon noodle.. NT 85. Well.. Generous portion of colon but.. it tasted.. like.. its not cleaned properly.. u get wad i mean right

Papa’s order.. 蹄膀干拌面.. “Ti Bang Dry Noodle”. TiBang refers to the upper part of the porky leg.. NT 75

Lun had 综合抄手面.. Mixed chilli wonton noodle… NT 70. They have 3 different types of chilli wonton.. pork fillings, prawn fillings and vege fillings. *yum*

Mummy.. the not adventurous one decided to order a very not tasty meal. Braised Chicken Mixed Rice… NT 90. Errrr.. so homecook. D:

Yien’s Recipe : Grilled Salmon

Posted by ~YienYien~ on Sep 13, 2010 in Foodie, Yien's Recipe

Tips : Use whatever you have in your fridge

For me, i had some overnight rice, salmon, onions, lemons, crab sticks and one potato

Stir fry garlics with butter until fragrant. Add in the rice.. and another knob of butter. Stir in an egg just before you take out the rice. I think the garlic butter rice is heavenly awesome! Will cook it again very soon!

Another wok, add in a knob of butter and few pieces of lemon. Like this!

Place salmon on top of the lemons.. You can smell the lemon with the salmon all the way cooking it. *yums*

At the meantime, just pan fry the potato sticks and crab sticks

When the salmon is done, use the excess salmon oil and the lemon grounded wok to stir fry the onions

and after that.. decorate it and everything is done!!!

Oh Oh oh Oh!

Oh.. remember to�squeeze�in more lemon juice on top of the onions and salmon…

But if you have cranberry sauce. its even better!

Medium raw *wee*

Mitsu Tea House @ RH Plaza, Kuching

Posted by ~YienYien~ on Aug 17, 2010 in Foodie

It has been such a long time since i last dined in Mitsu Tea House. I used to go there often coz my previous office is just around somewhere. However.. after like… 1 year later… i went back to mitsu tea house for lunch b4 i board to KL..

And Guess what!! OMG! ITS NOT THE SAME ANYMORE. *sadness*

We ordered the Ham Shoi Kok…

Which turned out rather oily.. but.. not tat bad coz its fried.

Gon Chao Ngau Ho… Terribly disappointed!!! The last time we had this.. its very recommended.. now.. well.. recommended as well.. recommend NOT to try! *fall down to the floor*

I always order this last time when i worked at that area..

Crispy pork rice… Bcoz… Mitsu tea house is famous for those Cripsy pork, char siew, siew gai and so on.. Oh.. especially the preserved sweet vege as side dish. i love that the most!

But this time.. i really wanna cry when i take a bite at the crispy pork… The pork is DRY and the skin is NOT crispy… its so hard to bite… omg! dried up already isit!! and the preserved sweet vege… *cry for the second time* Not sweet enough not sour enough. THEY CHANGE the chef isit? *sadness x2*

Yam dumplings… *throw on the floor* Taste like… how to describe.. Oh i know. taste like.. many days rotten rice. *sadness x 3*

Lastly.. my all time favourite.. steam pork ribs with yam….!! The pork ribs is merely tasteless.. BUT at least it doesnt taste like rotten rice. OH.. LUCKY for me.. the yam is still delicious!! *teehehehe*

ANyhow.. i wont go back anymore…!! *sadness*

ARGH dinner @ La Bodega, Pavilion KL

Posted by ~YienYien~ on Aug 17, 2010 in Foodie, KL, Malaysia, Yien's Dearest

Finally its another ARGH dinner.. but this time.. its at KL! *wooots*

Although things are kinda rush but… we still enjoyed ourselves and the time being together.. oh.. especially the 5,10,15. HAHAHAHAHA *loves*

We did a lot of last minutes shopping and hoho.. break a lot of records such as rushing to buy clothes when the shop is closing.. and… duno who.. bought like 5 pairs of shoes in.. less then 3 hours? and… and.. a lot lah!!

Our favourite shop… *Forever 21* Our record as u can see : 6 dresses worth around RM600 in 15 minutes. Even until the shop closed.

and… 10 pairs of shoes… in.. well.. don dare to tell. *nyek nyek* the power of girls! to be precise.. ARGH! love u all! *muah muah*

Its around 10.30pm when we had our dinner…

La Bodega will be the place.

Its like a casual lounge and restaurant?

Clockwise, Ahlost had Melon, Pineapple and Orange juice RM18, I had Sex on the beach RM22 and Anna had Margaritas RM25. Gladys had Ginger beer at RM9 but the pic is rather blur so.. huhuhuhu!

We had Cold, roast lamb salad for sharing. RM 15. There are rare roast lamb, croutons, cherry tomato, mint and apple salad which made a great combination in ur mouth!!

To chew the cold roast lamb with the mint leaves and the dressings… olala! Juicy. I like it sweet and tender.. and the refreshing bits of the mint leaves with a lil extra crunchiness of the roasted croutons! *nom nom nom*

Ahlost had this Chilli Linguine Aglio E Olio with hamachi fish, preserved lemon and grilled zucchini. RM 26

I personally dont really like the hamachi fish and preserved lemon. Agreed with lostling.. when u are munching the noodles.. there will be a sudden attack of the sourish if u accidentally bite the preserved lemon. hohoho! But still.. for lostling and Dysling.. everything with tabasco sauce is perfect. haha!

Dys ordered Penne Puttanesca with gilled mediterranean vegetables. RM 20. Precisely, the penne is served with spicy homemade tomato sauce with olives, capers, anchovies, grilled eggplant and grilled zucchini served with shaved parmesan.

This is definately too salty for everyone’s preferance. TOO salty……!! but i love the eggplant tho. hohohohohoho!

Next up will be mine. Saffron Angel Hair with pumpkin and lamb meatballs! RM28. Lamb meatballs!! *drools* I m not a big fans of angel hair but since they don have fettuccine.. so.. just go with it lur…

Saffron angel hair pasta (sweet and creamy) with roasted pumpkin (i love pumpkin in creamy pasta because somehow it will help to adjust the taste) Kalamata olives (ohhh.. i hate olives *screamm*) and spicy lamb meatballs in a rich creamy sauce (the meatballs are great and very flavouring.. althought its not that spicy but.. still… i cant resist the temptation of juicy meatballs)

Annna’s Spaghetti Ramazetti with grilled chicken in a mustard cream sauce tossed with rocket salad. RM 26. Soi enought, the waiter forgot to take this order so this hungry chh have to wait until 11.30 only then the food is served.
