Ayam Goreng Halia

This is one of my favourite menu during confinement, Ayam Masak Halia becoz its kinda hot and spicy and good for your body. Halia or ginger has been used traditioinally as an ingredient for many remedies.


This is 10 minutes menu:

Just heat 2 tbs of oil, fried chicken with garlic, onion, ginger, lemongrass, tumeric powder, sliced chillies and tomato, put some water, Cover the pan/pot
Let it cook until the meat is tender, add a pinch of salt.
Done

Lunch Set: comprises of: Ayam Masak Kunyit, Ikan Pekasan goreng, Kangkung goreng


My ikan pekasam has been brought all the way from Aloq Staq to Putrajaya and wrapped in multi layered newspaper so that the aroma won't distrub other passenger of bas ekspress..hahah...and bila goreng, the smell will filled your entire house...

Ikan pekasam need to be accompanied with sambal belacan...never alone..baru kick..and of coz some ulam-ulaman, since I don't have ulam raja or pucuk pegaga..timun pun jadilah

On the right side is my daughters fav- buah naga / dragon fruit..we loves this type with bright colour compared to the white flesh...

Sambal terung

Onion and garlic - sliced


Eggplant /terung panjang - fried first

Malay Food at Tupai-tupai restaurant

Tupai-tupai is a place to go if we are looking for Malay Food in KL.

We had our Iftar at Tupai-tupai restaurant yesterday, I love the thought of going there, but we were late from Putrajaya and rushing and facing heavy traffic jam. The parking was full but thanx to the operator who were really kind to let us park at the entrance upon seeing two babies in our car :-)... tak payah jalan jauh-jauh...

The restaurant was full and we have to squeezed in to get baby's stroller in, I think they have increase the numbers of chair and table that is why it was too crowded.

This the place to enjoy Malay food in a different setting, the name 'tupai' means squirel, so you can expect to see squirel ashtray and small little things to create the ambience of kampung / village.



I was busy attending my daughter and did not have time to snap any photo, but I must say that their butter prawn is nice.

The crowd were friendly, and we thought that Awie was there..but then we realised that guy just look similar with his hairstyle and buncitness...
