美女厨房之美女私房菜 Recipe recipe recipe

I don’t do cooking everyday until I was here especially my housemate and wife was back to KL recently. I love to cook at my puchong home sweet home as well; but it really depending on my mood. Why? Because grandma can cook very good… think about her cooking here…  regret.. I should have learn her recipe when I was home. Not forget my mom. She can cook pretty good for her Hokkien Chinese New year dishes, but she will simply use something to replace when she couldn’t find the ingredients in the recipe.. e.g. she used Curry Fish powder to cook curry chicken when she left the curry chicken powder in the pasar… 
Of course, Ray is always the best CHEF for me wherever we are. He knew a lot of things in cooking. He is always my walking recipe book :P

Well, he is busy with his project and always home late, so me as the assistant chef, take the responsibility to prepare the dinner. Practices make things perfect. It is true, I don’t dare to say I can cook well but I m IMPROVING! Hahahaaa..

Well, I would like to share some of my 作品 in my blog… see ya.

Going Public in Malaysia

It’s 1240am, I am still awake at this time to accompany Ray working on his new tender, reviewing pricing and quotations. Online, wanted to talk to my sisters in the States but Noi told me that they were out for church in the morning and going to museum in the afternoon.. haha.. museum!!! I remembered the last museum that I visited is in Indianapolis in year 2006 and I think the last visit to KL museum was year 1996 (form 4). Don’t know whether they are going to the same museum today? Well, museum, I saw a Petroleum Museum in the Abu Dhabi mini directory, maybe I should have visit it one day.
Sign on my MSN, nobody online, oppss.. its 445am Malaysia time….
Looking at www.livescore.com, Ray’s favorite team, Spain had a draw game with Italy. Too bad for him. Hehe.. why he like Spain? Because the favorite Liverpool player Fernando Torres is in the team!
Boring.. boring..
Reading the star online this morning, a lot of Malaysian especially in KL and Penang are going to public transport due to the Gas price raised 40% about 1 week ago. Kuala Lumpur City Hall recorded a drop of almost 12,000 cars entering the city daily a week after the fuel price hike; Queues at LRT stations are getting longer and car parks are bursting at the seams; A bus company in Putrajaya has recorded a 10% increase in the number of passengers; Daily traffic volume on the Penang Bridge has dropped by 7% from the previous daily volume of 67,000 vehicles; Sales of motorcycles have increased by up to 25%. Demand is higher than supply now, good for Boon Siew family!
Well, I would love to take a LRT to KL downtown once awhile, but not everyday, especially when I was alone. I have think about this seriously 2 years ago when I had some offers for new job. At last, I have choose my current job which located in PJ rather than the job in KL; the main reason is I need to park my car in LRT station PJ and travel to downtown by LRT! It is always good for public to use the public transport provided there are enough spaces and parking lot in LRT station or bus station. 2nd, the safety issue, either the car steal or the snatch thief problems. Otherwise, at the end of the day, it will make the public to give up the public transport!
I think I would get Ray to buy me a pink Scooter when we back in KL…

Two New-ish in Abu Dhabi…

I was here in Dubai 4-5 years ago when I was working with the Consultant Engineering Company, worked as a project engineer in construction site. We were building the District Cooling Plant in The Green Community, Jebel Ali, Dubai. That’s the place I met my hubby – Raymond. We started to see and date each other since I met him; no matter he was in Dubai, Penang, KL or Chiang Mai. We have been dating for 4-5 years? (I don’t really remember when it’s the Official Date we dated!)

Dubai, Abu Dhabi or I should say U.A.E (The Emirates), or maybe the Middle East Countries are developing. They are building more and more nice Architect work piece although the inflation rate is getting higher and higher globally. And of course, there are tones of project and construction going on in this region! They are rich, in the other word.

End of year 2007, Ray has proposed to me. We can actually either sign the paper before or after the wedding ceremony. But we decided to get the marriage license at the same time we are planning for the wedding ceremony. The ceremony is planned to be held in year 2009. There are several reasons to put the ceremony in 2009. One of them is all my siblings are abroad, I have to plan and giving them a 1 year notice. Haha.. Ray and I have never though that we will be back to the Emirates until Ray has got a new assignment in Abu Dhabi; while my company has approached me a job in the Middle East. So, we are here now in Abu Dhabi.

Well, I have been here for a while, one and a half month. Everything is finally settled down in this strange city. Ray and I stayed with a colleague’s family. A couple and 3 kids (age 8 months, 3 year old and 5 year old). Oh man, 1 baby and 2 toddles! We shared a living hall, a kitchen and a bath room. Eventually, it is not so hard for me to handle the kids (the kids love me), but it is not easy to get used to the crying, noisiness. The only good thing is I have accompanies when Ray is out for work. (I am SOHO, so I spend most of time in front of pc at home)



The first thing to do in this strange city is to get a Visitors Guide, to know about this country, the history, the culture, the emergency contact number and to know where to go, where to shop, where to EAT! Ray has bought me the Abu Dhabi Min published by the Explorer. www.explorepublishing.com it is handy and useful.

It takes awhile for me to get connected to the internet service. Rules here are strict. Or I can say me as a foreigner in this country not easy to apply for the permanent landline services. It required all the documentation e.g. Residence permit, labor card etc. And I was so depressed for a few days when I did not connected to the internet. Am I Internet-ic? Haha.. but, finally, I bought the mobile USB device. Though is a bit expensive, but it’s easier, and I can online wherever whenever as long as there is Etisalat network. :)





Abu Dhabi is a young and modern city, with its own unique contrasts. It is clean and blessed with a surrounding marvelous cornice. I stayed in down town city centre, so, its just take 15 minutes to walk to the cornice. The cornice is a nice place to walk and jog in the evening. There are a few Theme parks with different concept and layout near by the cornice. The grasses grew well in this desert place. There is well designed sprinkles system for the plants.


The city is not big though, but it will be getting bigger and bigger. They are developing dramatically. They are building up a few islands in this state. From an empty island to a well city planned island! And these projects are going on for more than 10 years. Ray and I have visited most of the biggest mall in Abu Dhabi. We spent most of time in window shopping, eating, cappuccino-ing and spending time in bookstore (Ray is a big Liverpool soccer fans, so he loves to look at the soccer magazines). The best thing I found in the Virgin bookstore is The Entertainer Abu Dhabi. It is a coupon booklet that offers the Buy 1 Free 1 concept. www.theentertainerme.com It’s really worth it!!!
p/s: i am writing this in English so that Ray can read it.. :)

最近都在下雨,一天,无意中,发现了一道雨后的彩虹。。。

LESLIE

4月 1 日又过了,我非常怀念他。喜欢他的俊俏,他的美丽和他的歌声。我又重复看了他几十遍的《胭脂扣》。。。更难过。。。
从宜家搬回了两个鞋架,开始装置。

几天后,终于完成。。。
虽然不很美,但很实用,当然有一份满足感。

Cheesecake factory




每一次到美国都会增磅,这一次也不例外。友人安德丽娜也像以往一样带我到处逛,喝咖啡,聊天。这一次又来到了逛街。当然也嚷着她到芝士蛋糕工厂Cheesecake factory,一个用膳和甜品的好去处,等了好久才有桌位,生意非常好。它有着形形色色的蛋糕,更有高贵的Godiva巧克力蛋糕。节食的我也管不着,叫了一个开心果蛋糕。。。有机会到Cheesecake Factory,怎么能错过呢?

这个冬天非常冷


因为工作,与柠檬过了一个平凡的情人节和拜天公后,我来到了花旗国的冬天。喜欢下雪的冬天,是因为雪花飘飘,有着一种莫名的浪漫。而讨厌冬天,是因为生于热带雨林的我们须要好几天去适应它的气候和穿着。除了工作,和家人相聚,和朋友叙旧;当然同事上司们的热情好客,为我安排了一连串的节目。其中难忘看了一场精彩的NBA (Cleveland Cavaliers VS Memphis)全场爆满,皆因超人气LeBron James 在主队出场,整个城市的人都难得一睹风采。NBA篮球赛,这可是我久违了的运动项目。犹记十多年前,高中时代的男同学们个个都是篮球健将,多得NBA赛事和日本漫画灌篮高手。当时可是公牛队的乔丹当道。也记得曾经在学校的篮球场被Ah-PAUL同学公牛式的撞倒。
话说Cleveland Cavaliers VS Memphis在场的气氛高潮,身旁的8岁小男生也一副篮球武装(篮球包包,篮球鞋球衣)的歇斯底里地为主队加油,我才了解为什么当年的同学们都热爱篮球。一句话,这场球赛,赞啦!

甜甜圈,好吃么?



和表哥到双威逛,排长队买了半打甜甜圈。不爱甜品的我总觉得太腻了,你说呢?

2008倒数


3,2,1。。。在清迈PING RIVER河岸倒数,看烟花;天空中布满了千万个孔明灯。我和柠檬也买了泰铢300的烟花和孔明灯。图为我们在2008的第一个烟花。。。

我和柠檬注册了。感谢家人和亲友们出席注册典礼和晚餐,特别感谢ah-Tatt和女友为我们制造的DVD。感谢亲人和朋友们的祝福。
对于12号特别的酷爱,皆因我的生日日期,我们无意中的地址为12号,12/12路等等。。。
谢谢柠檬的疼爱,虽然他不会读华文,看不见这部落格。永远记得他在山顶的星空下求婚的那一幕。。。至少他的诚恳让我想安定下来。。。

咖布奇诺


一至以来我都自称MILO QUEEN。。。除了偶尔陪阿麽喝喝local的 kopi O,其他含有咖啡因的饮料都不爱,因为喝了总是比喝啤酒还醉。。。去年在清迈住上两个星期,每天都到不同的咖啡馆品尝咖啡,因而爱上了咖啡。但,我还是独爱意式泡泡咖啡---咖布奇诺。有些泡泡上还有可爱的图案。而我现在每两天都要来一杯意式泡泡咖啡才觉得舒服。我,是喝上瘾了吧,真糟糕!

弥敦道9号


去年八月,2次的Transit让我在香港过了匆忙的一夜。一次住九龙,一次住荃湾。因为赶飞机的关系,我只能在九龙附近走走逛逛。到天后庙拜拜,美都餐室吃了一个西杜诗和冰鸳鸯;当然也很刻意的到弥敦道走走,但却找不到9号!!!哈哈!星迷们,你说呢?

阳光。沙滩。巴厘





去年的27岁生日与柠檬到了巴厘岛庆生。
碧海蓝天,第一次潜水对不熟水性的我们可是又怕又刺激。
感谢柠檬的第一次意式烛光晚餐,很浪漫。当然我们也租了双人脚车和小绵羊到KUTA BEACH走走。
来到了美丽的沙滩,原本已一身古铜色的我好歹也来一个阳光浴。
阳光。沙滩。啤酒。人间天堂也!

燕京八景


燕京八景是老北京著名的八处景点, 我在北京的朋友俞总告诉我这个漂亮的燕京八景后就提了几个字给我留恋留恋,他还贴心地给我写上拚音。。。这燕京八景的景名都是漂亮的四句字,传说景色怡人。但经过时间的洗礼,天气的变化,北京的发展,景点再也没有那么诗情画意了,而年轻一辈的朋友更就讲不出燕京八景景名了。

Secret..

阿丽同学给我带了周董的《不能说的秘密》。。。刚刚给看过了。。。很棒。我从来就不是周董迷,知道他的“一步两步三步四步望着天。。”唱得很好;朋友们都爱在K歌高喊“黑色幽默”;喜欢他这句很漂亮的“只剩下钢琴陪我谈了一天 睡着的大提琴 安静的旧旧的。。。”;与费玉清合唱的《七里香》;彼得很爱的《菊花台》和最近的《牛仔很忙》。。。虽然我认同他的音乐,欣赏他的才华,但不迷恋他。在报章杂志知道这出电影票房很好,评语很高,都认为大家都是因为给脸他是周杰伦。但看了过后,感觉真的还很不错哦!至少这出电影给我感觉回到高中时代,也给我想找回钢琴的冲动;当然这故事也给了我惊喜(我没想过飞越时空的秘密!)一句话,周董真的蛮好料!:)

天吧


我爱喝酒,尤其是啤酒和玫瑰酒或甜酒。总是觉得红酒太浓,太醇了,喝了很快就倒了。威士忌也太强了。日本清酒是烧的比较好。韩国烧酒我不爱喝,韩国参酒就还不错。。。鸡尾酒我最爱长岛LONG ISLAND TEA,VODCA LIME, TEQUILLA。。。还有一些忘了名的鸡尾酒。。。

在柠檬的生日我们去了KL的天吧“SKY BAR” 位于KLCC 旁TRADER's HOTEL 顶楼。。。我俩在双峰塔的陪伴下喝了瓶飘亮的玫瑰酒。。。那儿的音乐刚刚好,不太吵也不太静,是个放松喝酒的好地方。。。

鱼面颊

很喜欢张小娴的《幸福鱼面颊》,相信很多朋友们都读过了这一编文章,但还是特地在这里部一部。。。我也很喜欢吃鱼面颊,因为真的很幸福。。。

吃蒸鱼的时候,你会首先吃哪一部分?有人从鱼尾开始,有人从鱼背开始,有人先吃胸鳍,因为这一部分是最肥美的。
据说,首先吃哪一部分,可以反映一个人的性格。
我首先吃的是鱼面颊。
每次吃鱼,我喜欢的人会把鱼面颊留给我,说:
“这一小块脸肉是最好吃的,多吃会漂亮。”
我不知道多吃鱼面颊是否真的会变得漂亮,但是每一次,他还是坚持要我吃下鱼的两边面颊,并说:
“吃了鱼面颊,即使生气的时候,鼓起腮帮子,也不会太难看。”
每一次和他吃鱼的时候,鱼面颊是我专享的,那一小块脸肉,好滑,好甜,而且也好幸福。
有时候,叫了一尾面颊没有肉的鱼,我会很失落,想咬他的面颊来弥补我的损失。
在外面跟朋友吃饭,一尾蒸鱼送上来,没有人会把面颊留给我,动作稍微慢一点,鱼面颊已经在别人的肚子里,那一刻,我才知道,可以吃到鱼面颊的时候,是多么受宠爱。
日子有功,我吃下的鱼面颊,加起来的分量,也许相等整条中等重量的苏眉那么大,再过些日子,也许会等同一条龙趸,而我希望,将来会等同一条鲸鱼。
如果问我,多吃鱼面颊,皮肤会不会变得白一点,滑一点?人会不会变得漂亮一点?或者我可以告诉你,人世间的幸福,总会令人好看一点。

生日蛋糕



九月里,老妈买了一些电器,其中一样是我想要的—烤箱。在瑜伽过后到市场买了一大堆烤蛋糕的材料。第一粒巧克力蛋糕只成功一半。。。
答应柠檬会给他烤一粒‘温馨’牌生日蛋糕,嘻嘻,好大口气,结果还是失败了。。。
这是我和柠檬合力做成的‘温馨’牌生日蛋糕,不只好看,还很好吃。。。厉害吧!希望每一年都可以给柠檬烤生日蛋糕。。。祝他生日快乐,永远幸福。。。

越南记

在越南的一个星期里每天都在林记报到,因为主厨阿成伯伯不见我们会不高兴哦!可是要吃什么就有什么哦!也谢谢他为我煮的每一餐饭。在何志明市住了一个星期,除了工作之余也在安迪哥哥的安排下去了一些观光。那包括克林顿总统到过的2000牛肉面,‘笨蛋’市场的城中一游。除了购物,还是购物。。。在那儿也去了好几次的美容美发店,水疗SPA,护发,护肤,美甲,便宜得不得了!我想如果长期住在哪里,每星期都可以到那儿宠宠自己,担保美眉们AUNTIE们,都可以‘水当当’。。。

越南PART II - 吃喝玩乐

话说回越南的Ca-Mau,因为有一些工程项目在那里,所以我们一行人便浩浩荡荡地抵达了那儿。第一天抵达,抱着好玩的心态,还很新鲜,去到这个小镇感觉还挺好的。最叫我难忘的是坐快艇沿着河流到另一个工程项目去工作,坐在快艇里前面的坐位,长发飘飘,我好像化身为邦女郎似的,哈哈。那儿是个小乡村,屋子设备都很简陋,唯一让我大开眼界的是那里的少年都打得一手好球--越式桌球。一个破烂但修补过的桌球桌,有别与我们的桌球桌,越式桌球桌是没有洞的,而且只有三粒球。玩法是第一粒球必须碰撞到第二和第三粒球。超难哩!
在越南的我却在那儿吃了最多的新加坡食物,多得友人安迪哥哥的林记餐馆。他是我在越南的监护人,保镖和唯一的朋友,而我在越南平安无事也是多得安迪哥哥的照顾。在此要给大家介绍,如果您到西贡然后又想念华人食物的话,请到林记Lim Restaurant Singaporean Cuisine, Saigon, Vietnam品尝著名的新式肉骨茶,包你满意!在这里也要介绍安迪哥哥的朋友们所营业的地下酒吧,别误会,这可不是不见得光的酒吧,而是名为UNDERGROUND BAR的酒吧。还有——传统日式餐厅,戏剧院附近的Q BAR,气氛非常好!说到越南,怎么可以忘记介绍约南咖啡呢?约南咖啡也就像我们的KOPI-O, 无奶只加糖,但我觉得越南咖啡较像一杯浓浓的Espresso, 然后倒入一杯放满满冰块的杯子,慢慢品尝。不迷恋咖啡的我就只试过一次而已,其他时候都是333—约南啤酒也!难忘的MO HAI BA – YOO (1,2,3 cheers)。。。

越南PART I

在这两个月忙碌的日子里,因为公干,去了越南两趟。第一趟,住上了差不多十天,而第二趟,只住了三天。越南,一个共产国家,自80/90年代对外开放以来,逐渐地进步,经济也逐渐成长。越南曾在法国统治长达接近百年之久,所以越南人的文化多多少少都带有一些法国的影子。例如饮食文化等等。而让我觉得最特别的是越南的建筑物是窄小但高和长,据说也是跟据法国的规矩,以四尺宽一面地来买卖。越南的第一大城市--西贡,原为一个鱼村,至今发展成国家的商业金融教育行政中心。为何名为西贡呢?当然也有不一样的传说,我也不很了解,我只知道当法国被越南共产党撤退后,便以共产党领袖的名,把西贡易名为何志明市。然而,至今,西贡和何志明市还是同样被承认的。第一天抵达西贡,就被他们没有秩序的交通给吓坏了!可说是马路如‘狮口’。因为工作的关系,我在越南的第一个晚上就在8个小时(300公里)的车程中渡过。还好嗜睡的我还可以睡得不错。来到了一个小镇—Ca-Mau,据身边的长辈说,那里犹如60年代的KL和Singapore。

藉口

有好一些儿日子都没写部落格了,一些好朋友们都开始关心我的现况了,阿彪同学还问天使为什么不说话了。当然,懒惰的我也给自己找了一些为什么冷落‘天使说’的藉口。。。首先,我必须承认我的懒惰,还有我的工作忙碌,重整后的电脑笔记本没华文系统,顾着玩耍也是一个很重要的理由。。。终于觉得当一个人认真地为自己找藉口和理由时,是可以找出很多很多的。。对不起,《天使说》。
