How's your weekend buddies? I hope it went well and you enjoyed the weekend very much. Mine? AWESOME! :)

Ingredients

1kg fresh mussels (cleaned and drained)
10 bird's eye chillies *
3 stalks lemongrass (thinly slice) *
3 shallots *
2 cloves garlic *
Thumb size tumeric (pounded)
2 cups of coconut milk
1 cup water
Salt to taste


Method

Place those * ingredients in the food processor with a cup of water.  Blend it till smooth.

Heat a heavy bottomed sauce pan over medium heat. Pour the blended ingredients into the sauce pan and boil for 10-15 minutes or till fragrant.

Add in mussels, tumeric and salt and mix them well. Cooking till the mussels slightly open and pour in the coconut milk. Stir constantly for few minutes and turn off the heat.


Note : 

You can add tumeric powder if your broth looks pale.

I tak blend ubi kunyit sekali with other ingredients sebab tak nak food processor I turn to yellow :) So I tumbuk guna lesung batu.

Jangan masak santan terlalu lama sebab nanti santan akan pecah and santan mesti lah santan pekat.

What I've enjoyed most, though, is meeting people who have a real interest in food and sharing ideas with them. Good food is a global thing and I find that there is always something new and amazing to learn - I love it!

RAISED BED GARDEN

السلام عليكم
Peace be upon you

Sebenarnya I sendiri belum ada bed garden ni tapi dah teringin sejak tahun lepas. Ye lah, siapa lah yang nak tolong I buat semua ni? Nak angkut papan bagai? Months ago, I ada cuba cari papan.. Ala papan yang macam orang kampung-kampung buat rumah tu.. Tapi malangnya 3-4 buah kedai hardware I pegi semua tak jual. Yang ada hanya lah kayu (which tak lebar macam papan tu) and papan playwood. Mana boleh pakai playwood sebab tak tahan lama. Sigh.

Kalau boleh I nak lah bed garden yang tinggi macam ni. Papan macam tu susah nak cari lah. Kalau kayu tu berapa keping yang I nak kena guna untuk dapatkan bed yang tinggi macam ni kan.

Tapi kalau tak dapat macam tu, satu tingkat macam kat atas ni pun boleh. I happy je hehehehe

Ini ada lah lapisan yang you all kena buat untuk bed garden tapi bagi pendapat I kalau nak taruk tanah terus pun boleh kot as long as tanah yang di pilih adalah baik. Yang penting adalah campuran tanah itu sendiri. Tapi kalau you all buat atas simen atau sebagainya selain tanah boleh lah kot ikut kaedah ni.

Ini adalah campuran tanah yang baik untuk sayur-sayuran. I rasa kalau tak taruk vermiculite tu pun takpe kot kan since susah sangat nak cari kat Malaysia ni. Jadi you all just campur compost dengan peat moss tu pun dah cukup cantik rasanya.

Ini cara pengairannya tapi kalau tak ada pun tak apa kan? Siram macam biasa je sudah. Kalau buat macam ni kena lah kos lebih. 

Kalau nak jimat cari papan-papan terbuang aje tapi kalau kat tempat I ni susah nak cari papan terbuang unless ada orang renovate rumah lah. Boleh minta kat Pak Pak Indon tu, kot-kot diaorang dah tak guna lagi. Saveeee budget!

Bila lah impian nak tercapai kan? Nanti I dah buat, I tunjuk pada you all ye? :)

AYAM GORENG CARA PADANG (FRIED CHICKEN INDONESIAN STYLE)

السلام عليكم
Peace be upon you



I love this kind of fried chicken which crispy outside and juicy inside. Tapi kalau ayam goreng biasa pon sodap kan?? For those who are really into Ayam Penyek, you may try this once in a while.

Ingredients

2 pcs whole chicken leg (cleaned, with skin)
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp cumin seed (roughly ground)
1/2 tsp fennel seed (roughly ground)
1 tsp salt (depend on you)
Water to boil
Vegetable oil to deep fry


Method

Boil water in a heavy bottomed sauce pan. Once boiled, add chicken and cook for 20 minutes over medium heat.

Turn off the heat, drain the water and leave it cool for few minutes.

Rub chicken with salt, black pepper, cumin seeds and fennel seeds. Put aside and leave it for 20 minutes or half an hour.

Heat oil in a heavy bottomed sauce pan over high heat. Make sure oil hot enough to deep fry. Add in chicken and cook till brown both sides. Normally it just took 2-3 minutes.

Drain the oil and pat dry with kitchen paper towel. Ready to serve.


Note :

You can add a pinch of tumeric powder to rub the chicken as well.

Kalau you all suka, boleh ketuk / penyekkan ayam dengan anak batu sebelum makan.

Love,

Honey
