Instant Seafood Tamarind Curry - Back from Penang

Yoooo boys & girlssss! Finally! I am back from Penang! After what felt like millions handshakes, gadzillions of hugs and kisses (to and from customers), and countless lengthy explanations on inquiries (e.g: "so, could you tell me how your product works?" - this short question calls for at least 15 minutes explanation each. I tried to give it my best, with my sexy, throaty, flu affected, brian-adam-ish voice, sometimes accompanied by thunderous, glass shattering, non stop cough. I gotta hand it to our customers, who were not fazed by my mighty cough, not even a blink! LOL!)

In between trying to wake up and keep everybody happy for another day, I tried to sample local goodies, even if it had to be from the hotel's room service menu hehe. A trip to the supermarket is a luxury, and on the last day, based on Foodaholiv's advice, I bought these adorable story-books style packs of curry paste, and I tried the tamarind curry.

We were almost fooled by the packaging and thought that they were recipe books instead hehe

Seafood Instant Tamarind Curry

Recipe
- half pound shrimps, shelled, deveined
- half pound fish fillet, sliced into big chunks
- 1 piece of chicken thigh fillet (optional), remove skin and excess fat, cut into bite sized chunks
- 2 cloves of garlic, crushed (optional)
- 3 cloves of shallot, finely chopped(optional)
- few bunches of fresh corriander, finely chopped (optional)
- 3 red chillis, remove core and seeds, finely chopped (optional)
- fried shallot (optional)
- a bit of olive oil, water
- 1 pack of Tamarind Curry paste (180 gr)

Saute aromatics in a bit of olive oil, add pieces of chicken, add tamarind curry paste, add a bit of water, bring to boil, cook until chicken pieces are almost done, add fish, cook until almost done, add shrimps until it turned into butterfly-like shape, garnish with fresh corriander and fried shallot. If you want it to be easier, skip everything "optional" and just cook your choice of meat with the curry paste hehe.

I'll post more goodies I got from Penang, stay tuned!

Regrets are useless but I couldn't help regretting....
WHAT WAS I THINKING NOT BUYING MORE PACKS OF THIS UNBELIEVABLY YUMMY CURRY???!!!!

Penang Street Eatery

My colleagues and I have been super busy these few days...working late nights...early morning start and all that jazz...but luckily we still managed to sneak out for some street food...^_*

Satay vendor - No offense...but I still love Indonesian sate the most hehe...maybe I am just homesick?

So many yummy choices, so little time (as always!)

Satay, fried oyster, and some deep fried goodies...

Sour plum and lime juice, super refreshing after a long hot day!

Gotta get my ass back to work now, hope I'll have time to try more local food (NOT from the room service menu) ^_^

Penang: In Flight Meal & Hotel Room Service

The In Flight Meal

Loving the drink list...almost couldn't help but ordering everything from champagne to hot chocolate...but finally settled for...CX signature drinks! Oriental Breeze and Cloud Nine!

Both delicious!

Snacking tasty almonds...

The starter: fresh fruit plate...I am not a fresh fruit plate kinda girl hehe..

My beef tenderloin with mixed mushroom sauce with potatoes and grilled capsicums. The beef was perfectly cooked, the capsicum was sweet and refreshing ^_^

My colleague's order: seafood e-fu noodles. Gently flavored (aka not tasty enough for me hehe)

Dessert: Haagen Dazs Belgian Chocolate with chocolate pralines, on cloud nine...whoa...weren't we pampered or what? Not to shabby for Mochachocolata-Rita

Hotel Room Service

After briefings and meetings...we just couldn't wait to try some local food, even if it had to be ordered from hotel's room service. But this Penang Char Kway Teow from Equatorial Hotel is SUPERB! TASTY YUM YUM YUM! I highly recommended all of my colleagues to order this...the hotel's kitchen's better be prepared ^_*

Want more?...Stay tuned! Mochachocolata-Rita's off to more meetings, briefings & debriefings...but will be back with more goodies! ^_^

Ginger & Brown Sugar Grilled Chicken...& I'm Off to Penang!!!...

Gonna leave for Penang for work in a few minutes ;) & gonna stay there for about a week.

Generally, my travel objectives (applicable for both business & pleasure if possible) are:
- Take a picture with some kinda landmark (when desperate, airport & hotel room/convention centre count :p)
- Try local food (when desperate, anything from hotel room service counts - sorry)
- Buy corny souvenirs (when desperate, anything from supermarket/7-11 counts)

I hope I could achieve all three in this trip, I heard about all the good food from Penang and I'll be depressed and suicidal if I didn't get to try any...wish me luck, guys!

Now...here's my goodbye recipe:

Ginger & Brown Sugar Grilled Chicken
Recipe
- 3 chicken thigh fillet, remove excess fat
- 2 cloves of garlic, 4 cloves of shallot, about 6 cm ginger, crushed
- 1 tsp ground corriander seed, 1 tsp nutmeg
- 1 stick of brown sugar
- dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, pepper
- half cup of coconut milk
- water, olive oil

Marinate chicken fillet with garlic, shallot, ginger, ground corriander seed, nutmeg powder, salt, pepper for minimum 1 hr, it'd be better if you could leave it overnight in the fridge. Boil the chicken with some water (just enough to cover the chicken) until the meat is 3/4 cooked, add coconut milk, cook using low heat. Preheat oven to 250 celcius, remove most liquid from the pot, keep it in a bowl for basting, grill chicken, add liquid to the skin from time to time, until the skin is nicely browned. Serve with steamed rice and sambal if you like it hot.

....and.....adios! See you soon guys, I am sure there' s Internet in Penang, just hope I'll have the time to get online! ^_^

Home Made vs Dine Out: Indonesian Fried Rice

HOME MADE

- Fully customizable (such as: everything from your sauce rack- 1 dash each, vegetarianize/meat-loverize it, eat it with potato chips, doritos or cheese, or watever you fancy)
- Cost effective (materials & utilities = HK$48 serves 4 = HK$12 per meal)
- Flexible dress code (with face mask on (wrinkle hazard = your own risk), all dolled up, in evening dress/tux, in your undies, all naked, up to you ^_^)
- Carefree table manner (with elbows/feet on the table, using your bare hands, LOL with your mouth full, etc, as long as your current/future in-laws weren't there ^_*)
- Tailor-made Entertainment (play strip mahjong/poker/bridge as you eat, watch TLC/hard core (food) porn shows, watch your better half juggling oranges naked (just don't tell me about this), etc)
- Therapeutic (enjoyment of the cooking/preparation process, devouring the result, seeing your partner enjoying/totally hating the food LOL!)

********************************************

DINE OUT @1968 - CAUSEWAY BAY

This particular example is from 1968 (a posh Indonesian restaurant in Causeway Bay district, Hong Kong)
- Non-customizable (the set came with a "warning" that I should not expect anything like fried rice back home in Indonesia, and there's nothing I could do about it)
- Wallet unfriendly (the set costs me more than HK$100, which is more expensive than fried rice sets served in Indonesian 5 star hotels ^_^)
- Dress to impress (in such as posh restaurant, at a trendy district, you're expected to look nothing less than FABULOUS, which by Hong Kong standard means: fully made up, hair done in latest trend, choose an outfit theme , carry not only a monogrammed branded bag-but-preferably the latest hard to get "it" bag. If you got it, this is a good opportunity to flaunt it! ^_*)
- Excellent table manner required (NO, picking your teeth with the sate bamboo skewer stick is NOT ACCEPTABLE! Tracing your dinner date's legs with your toes under the table cloth? That's optional ^_*)
- Surprise Entertainment (eavesdrop your way through the evening, if you're lucky, you might get some investment tips , and yes! it is entertaining to see people cursing at the flavorless fried rice, or pretending to like it, and it'd even more amazing to see people really loving the flavorless fried rice - which I didn't see that night)
- Risk of Emotional Damages (caused by seeing the total amount on the bill, recurring nightmares of flavorless fried rice, haunted by repeated appearances of shrimp crackers in every dish throughout the meal, the disappointment of Indonesian food representation, etc)

I had to eat a lot of this to repair my emotional damages

@#$#!$@! OH NOOOO!!!!! My Indo Pancakes!!!!!

NOOO!!!!...NONONONONO...NO! !@$!#$$!#$$!!!!!
Please pardon my French...but you saw the above picture...to me, such an event called for a shriek in a foreign language, with a major volume increase, in a substantially higher pitch (only my neighbor's dog could hear), to be typed in bold, red font, with a lot of exclamation marks *sob sob*

Call me a drama queen, cos I really am one hehehe....this is how it all happened:

1. It was so early in the morning and I couldn't sleep thinking about Indonesian thick pancakes
2. I CRAVED it...as in I gotta have it and I GOTTA HAVE IT NOW!!!
3. So I woke up and found a recipe online (oh no...now I can't remember where did I get this recipe)
4. I didn't have all ingredients listed in the recipe (such as instant yeast), but referring to point #2, I decided to still go for it
5. The first batch wasn't that bad....although the pancake didn't raise as it should've (no yeastttt), but it was still yummy yum yum!

6. After pouring the 2nd batch into the hot pan, I reduced the heat to minimum, and....did something we SHOULD NEVER EVER EVER EVER! DO...which was...
7. TAKING PICTURES OF THE FIRST BATCH RESULT WHILE THE SECOND BATCH IS FRYING AWAY BY ITSELF WITHOUT SUPERVISION

8. Gone was my hope NOT to share these decadent, thick, rich and creamy goodness...I had to give half to my sous chef...

Recipe
- 1 cup of self raising flour
- 3 pressed tbsp sugar
- half tsp salt
- half cup of coconut milk
- 1/4 cup peanut oil
- 2 eggs, beaten
- butter, chocolate rice, condensed milk, grated cheese, peanut chunks, etc (optional) for filling

Combine flour, sugar, salt in a mixing bowl, combine liquids in another bowl, mix well, pour batter into frying pan and cook on low heat, cover, it is done when the bottom is browned (NOT black) and you see bubbles on top, just pan-fry one side, do not flip. Slather butter, chocolate rice, condensed milk, grated cheese, peanut chunks, other anything else you desired for filling...

9. Determined not to be a quitter (aka still hungry), I scraped the burnt side of the second batch and still polish off the edible side anyway...
10. For what it's worth...the edible side was more than edible...unexpectedly, it was DELICIOUS

Chinese Take-Out Party LUCKY DRAW!

I am not big on lucky draws...here's a typical conversation I had with my workmates regarding Hong Kong's version of lotto, Mark Six:

X: Have you bought your tickets for Mark Six?
Me: No...why?
X: Get your ass moving, dummy! Tonight's jackpot is HK$60,000,000!!! (the Cantonese say it this way = six thousand of ten thousands (6000 x 10,000) instead of 60 million...so big numbers confuse me all the time)
Me: Wow...that sounds like A LOT more zeroes than what I can comprehend in Cantonese
X: Yeah! If you don't see me tomorrow at work, I'll be off to some Carribean islands working on my tan, sipping my expensive bottle of Champagne, surrounded by A LOT of chicks, and f**k this job!!
Me: Oohhh OK...good luck, man!
X: Aren't you gonna buy Mark Six?
Me: Nah...I never win...not even HK$20 (the minimum win) in 5 years!!
X: Really????!!!...wait a minute...have you ever bought Mark Six?
Me: Errrr.....no, why?
X: !@#$!$!$#!$#@!$....never mind!!! (in Cantonese = what a waste of air)

LOL! Anyway...I really wanted to give a token of my appreciation (something physical, not virtual) to ALL my party participants, but due to my super tight budget (which is a lot tighter than my azz), I could only give out one set this time ^_^... I shall look for a sponsor and give more next time, aye? ^_*

Now...I didn't know a better way to do this...so I did it the conventional way:

...your names, printed out, cut...

folded, shaken & drawn from a plastic take-out lunch box ^_^

A team of auditors from KPMG witnessed the draw...KIDDING!!!...only a couple of workmates did and I swear I didn't look when I drew the name (take my words against theirs) and I didn't include my own name in that box (I meant, I didn't include only one...but most of the names in the box are mine KIDDING-2! ^_^)

Check out the lucky draw video below! It wasn't easy to hold a camera, shakin', drawin' & unfoldin" HAHA I should've asked someone to help me hold the camera T_T

Pardon the blurry video....hehe

Congratulations to the LUCKY WINNER!!!
(all names in the box are mine apart from the lucky winner's name!!! I couldn't believe I DIDN'T win!!! KIDDING-3!)

...AND THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR MAKING MY FIRST BLOG EVENT A SUCCESS!
CHEERS, Y'ALL!!!

...see you at the next partee!...

Chinese Take-Out Party: The Round Up!

Oh boy! Oh boy! Oh boy! I remember the horror of planning annual dinner parties at work...the sleepless nights, the nightmares, the anxiousness, 100001 tiny little details we couldn't afford to overlook, the VIPs whose name we should never EVER misspell/mispronounce, or just say goodbye to my job...the timing, the flow, all the last minute changes, the looming post-event "evaluation" meeting (i.e. the dooms day, where everybody point their fingers and toes (if it's possible, they would, believe me) at you, where you will be judged for all your mistakes, where big mistakes (of others) went unnoticed while (your) small mistakes are being blown out of proportion..hehe)...ARRRGGHHHH! I don't think even David Tutera could help us! LOL! Luckily, I am such a party animal, I still managed to enjoy the parties despite all the nightmares ^_*

But planning this Chinese Take-Out Party was totally different...the sleepless nights were still there...but for totally different reasons, because I was just toooo excited (yes, I always get over-excited about anything)!!

When the idea first came into my head, I practically rolled around my whole 4 ft-tiny double bed kicking away my pillows, blankets, sheets...my beloved bolster was even on the floor! I was sooo close to get my butt off the bed to write down all the bursting ideas, but hey! Why do today what we can postpone until tomorrow? LOL!

Anyway I am sure you guys got the idea of how excited I was...and it got even more exciting when I started receiving your entries...from so many different places, full of brilliant and creative ideas, all personalised and customised, yet so united! I'd like to thank everyone for participating with great dishes, I always said how I wish this party isn't a virtual one :)

So...I am beyond pleased to present today's Chinese Take-Out Menu, by you, from you, & for you!
(Pardon my cheesy-ness, pleeze..)

**CHINESE TAKE-OUT PARTY MENU**

SET MEALS
In Hong Kong, we love set meals..a set meal normall consists of a main with rice/noodles, which comes with a choice of soup and/or a standard drink, add HK$2 to upgrade to an iced drink :)
Below "chefs" created not only set meals, some are actually qualified to be a set menu for a banquet! Enjoy!

Set Meal A

Set Meal F
Spam & Pineapple Fried Rice with Pork & Chive Dumplings from Sticky, Gooey, Creamy, Chewy
The saltiness of spam, the sweetness of pineapple, & the different texture of vegetables...pretty much everything we're looking for in a bowl, eh? If that's not enough, the set comes with a serving of tasty fried dumplings. Now legs up on the ottoman, fingers on the TV remote control...and...watch your favorite drama with this meal :)

SNACKS/SIDE DISHES/APPETIZERS
Hong Kong coffee shops normally serve snacks/lighter meals in the afternoon, for tea time, which is very popular amongst office dwellers (i.e. in an event where: you lost a bet/got promoted/completed a major project/closed a big deal, etc...you treat your whole team "tea-time") or you could order these as a side dish/appetizer

8801. Kimchee Potstickers from My Life is Yummy
These Korean inspired potstickers from Lina are perfect to start a meal! Look at those gorgeously browned bottoms (not mine hehe)!

8802. Wonton from Resto Mariena
Mariena brought that missing thing from your noodle plate,...wontons! Crispy or soupy? You decide!


8803. Steamed/Fried Dumplings from Canary Girl

Susan introduced this healthy and flavorful dish! You will love the combination of different textures and when she asked "Do you tofu?" I am sure you'll say you do too! :)

8837. Tofu & Broccoli in Garlic Sauce from The Hungry Fox
The creamy peanut butter, the Sauvignon Blanc and the red pepper flakes made Chef Debbie's tofu dish so special

MEAT & POULTRY DISHES
There are a few different versions of Kung Pao Chicken on our menu, which shows how popular is Kung Pao chicken out there. Funny thing is...either it is not as popular here in Hong Kong or is it just me? Throughout my 6 yr stay in Hong Kong, I have yet encountered a friend/relative/co-worker/stranger ordering Kung Pao Chicken...
Satisfy your craving with our selection of meat dishes below :)

8809. Kung Pao Chicken from A Cat in the Kitchen
Dagmar personalised the dish by combining two different versions of Kung Pao chicken, classic Sichuan and American :)

Erica brought this rich and tasty dish of lean pork, and I am holding on to her promise to make a version of this one by cooking pork belly in its own fat ;)

8815. Chinese Chicken in Oyster Sauce from Dari Dapur Saya
Simple, tasty, healthy and wholesome is this chicken dish by Elsye. You can't go wrong with oyster sauce and chicken :)

8818. Tamed Kung Pao Chicken from the Cook Mobile
Lalaine tamed the fiery Kung Pao Chicken and added zucchini and water chestnut pieces for the extra crunch :)
SEAFOOD DISHES
In Hong Kong, when we order our seafood from a big restaurant, we always ask this question "This fish you have...they are swimming (i.e. alive/fresh)?" I was baffled by a straight forward answer of a restaurant's waiter: "It used to". We asked further "Where did it come from?" and expected an answer such as Norwegia/Japan/etc...but we got "the market". We asked no further LOL!

8819. Foo Yung Hai from Flower in My Kitchen
Ayin brought me down the memory lane again by bringing another classic Indonesian Chinese dish of Foo Yung Hai (crab meat omelette with tomato sauce)

The use of fish instead of pork is a great alternative. If you're not up to the whole fish with bones, heads and all...you could go for boneless fish fillets instead :)


8822. Buddhist (mock) Shrimp Dim Sum from Feeding Maybelle
This dish is vegetarian friendly and it was perfect for yesterday's Buddha's birthday celebration! Hands down to Maybelle's mom who created the faux shrimp meat


8823. Not So Sizzling Japanese Tofu from More than Words
You will definitely enjoy the crisp and silky soft texture of these tofu dish from Daphne, combined with shrimps, meat and mushrooms to a perfection ;)


8836. Curry Shrimp Ssäm ~ Lettuce Wrap from Taste Memory
A wonderful symphony of Indian and Korean flavors in a bundle! I fell hopelessly in love at first bite (errr...sight?) ^_^'

RICE & NOODLES
Some of us might view fried rice and noodles as "side dishes". However, in our daily diet here...they are pretty much the big shot actress/actor in a starring role of the meal :)
Try our dishes below and please be warned that you might be high on rice/noodles afterwards, do not attempt to clear a stage of the latest video game, or you might end up frustrated :p

8824. Pea & Egg Fried Rice from Greedy Gourmet

Cakelaw puts an end to ghostly grey take-out chow mein. She upgraded the standard Australian Chinese restaurant's pale & glutinous chicken chow mein into this vibrant and tasty version!
