Recently I Cooked....

.... a lot more than usual.

If I ever cooked before, usually I will fried and all I dishes only contains two words.

Like Fried Fish

or Fried Prawn

I have progressed recently to longer than 2 words dishes like...

Prawn Sambal with Tomato

or Fried French Bean with Tofu in Oyster Sauce

or Fried Mabung in Salted Soya Sauce with Tofu (Taucu Mabung).

I like the Taucu so much, I make one with Kerisi (Golden Threadfin Bream) fish.

Next target is Asam Fish.

Yes, I like fish, prawn and tofu :)

Today I cooked :: fried fish, tofu and mustard green

Normally, I don't cook at home other than the usual instant noodle and the occasional fried egg. Somehow, last weekend, I went and bought fishes, squid and vegetables from a night market. Maybe I woke up in the right side of the bed.

Since I have the ingredients, today I cooked.

Nothing special for other, but special for me :)

Burn my finger as well while I was at it.

Wedding Assignment : How to boil 90 eggs?

This weekend is Aida (neighbour) 3 days wedding starting from Friday. Congratulation Aida.

I was assigned to boil 90 eggs for the wedding favor (Bunga Telor - direct translation = Flower Egg). We need hard boil eggs for the bunga telor.

How to boil the 90 eggs?

Step 1. We need 90 eggs - wash with water. Washing liquid is not require except if you want your egg to taste soapy:

Step 2. We need one big pot. Place washed eggs in the pot:

Step 3. Add water in the pot. Eggs must be submerged under the water:


Step 4. Add a spoon full of salt in the pot for taste:
Step 5. Place the pot on the stove and start the fire. You can sing the Firestarter song by The Prodigy (lyric) while on this step:

Step 6. Leave the egg to boil for 25 to 30 minutes.
Step 7. Once the water started boiling violently, take one egg out to check if the eggs is cooked. How to check? a) My theory - If the water around the egg evaporated quickly, the egg is cooked. b) My Neighbour's sister theory - If you spin the egg and the egg spins easily, the egg is cooked. c) A confirm theory - peel the egg's shell and check it out.

Step 8. Once the eggs are boiled, removed the water and take out the eggs. If the eggs cracked a little, don't worry so much. When the egg cool down the crack will disappear (the heat and expansion theory from primary school science class).
