Home Cook Curry



Sometimes when I'm late home from work, I'll cook something that is easy, fast and the kids like. Curry is one of them. :-)

I bought the curry paste with mix ingredients from the wet market on Sun and keep in chilling compartment in the fridge. Before I leave the house in the morning, I'll take down chicken from freezer to the normal cold compartment of the fridge. (Something like de-frozen it).

Preparation Time : 10 mins
Cooking Time : 20 mins

Ingredients:
1. 3 full chicken thigh
2. 3 medium sized potato. (easily soft type)
3. 1 small size carrot
4. some spring onion
5. Curry paste (which included onion, garlic, lemongrass, etc..)
6. 1/2 cup milk or 1 small pack of coconut milk

Method:
1) Cut potato and carrot into triangle size.

2) wash and clean chicken thigh. (I usually request the seller to chop into smaller pcs for me so that I don't have to do it at home).

3) Heat oil in wok, pour in curry paste and saute it until fragrant.

4) Add in chicken, potato and carrot. Saute until potato turns a bit brown or until fragrant.

5) Add water until cover up all the ingredients (or to the desired gravy needed).

6) Simmer for 15 mins. Open up and add in coconut milk or milk, throw in spring onion and simmer for a while. Turn off gas.

Ready to serve.

P/S: I put spring onion, just for decoration purpose. More colorful to the dish. Also, my curry paste is not reddish because I actually asked the seller not to put so much of curry as kids can't eat.

Steamboat at StarView (Pacific Megamall)

Like any other weekends, when it comes to dinner, we'll be looking for a place to dine in. It has been months that we did not go much for restaurants food. Last 2week, hubby thought of having steamboat. As I did not want to go to Raja Uda for the Yam steamboat, I suggested hubby to try on the Starview Steamboat, which is just at Pacific Megamall, Chai Leng Park. Starview steamboat is famous for it's fish soup base soup. Not like the common chicken stock or herbal soup.

I had tried the steamboat there once with my friend and thought it was nice. :-) Hence, I brought hubby over for the first time and treated it as hubby's birthday dinner. (haha... 2 in 1).

The soup comes with fried fish and lots of bean curds.


It's in the package. I did not ask for additional as the portions are enough for 4 of us.




Ernest waiting to taste it... since it's their 1st time too. :-)


nmm.... like nothing special... very hot..


I've finished all the fish ! Still have lots of bean cur~~d... (Ed doesn't like bean curd... but he did finish all of them without me telling him). Good boy, isn't it ?


Here comes the dessert.. the is one that you must try. The Creamy Peanut dessert. (in cantonese = fa sang wu). It's very creamy, not very sweet, extra peanut fragrant. nmm.... We all like it very much.



It seems not much things to eat, but we were all so full until we can't finish the dessert and got it packed home. :-D
Hubby said that he'll only come for the peanut dessert next time. It's not because of the taste but of his own fobia towards fish since childhood. haha.. It's ok. Still got to savor the peanut dessert.
It's recommended that you try it the next time you visit Starview restaurant. ;-)
