from Italy with love...

Salam and nice to meet u again....this is not about new release movie or song, but it is focusing on pizza actually. It is great  if we admit that we have talent to make a good pizza, very good pizza. So we have here the pizza that we had make couple of weeks ago. it is a basic pizza with simple topping that includes, beef sauce that been added with a tin of prego, pineapples, onions, mushroom, sausages and mozarella.... 

This the the exact mouthwatering delicacy as not compared with the HUT's, DOMINOS's or in Italy itself...

the ultimate food closet......

kinokuniya's f&b section....

The title maybe keep u questioning a bit or not. Currently we have a very interesting hobby of collecting books and a lot of reading materials, then i found out that why not we try to collect a few of latest cooking books and make them into our personal collection instead of other collections of book. We have a few books that we still kept since we are in UiTM dungun and we are currently in uitm shah alam. So it is in progress actually and its getting some sort of excitement. yesterday, we have been to klcc, because one of us have a date with his sister, so before we're waiting for her from her office we went to the book heaven, Kinokuniya, one of our favorite location to get books. So we were stuck at the food and drink section that can we said, it is the ultimate food closet, because the books are overwhelming and the price are very reasonable. So it makes us quite sometimes to pick the right books with the right price.

THE BIG BOOK OF FAMILY MEALS-RM45

Above, is one of the book that i picked......it is reasonable for that thick and also the illustration. It combine the common family meal that are basically based on european and american influenced. I also found out that the menus involved are quite healthy and simple....so  it is not too fancy kind of publishing but it is more on simply family...so all of u better check out with this.....

We are totally looking for Chef Wan's book...it is not at the section but it is at the cashier, when we see it we just took it...it rm 40....and it 5 in 1.....it contain 5 types of food item which are meat,chicken,tarts,seafood and baked goods.....it is mini but the recipes are well made....so, this only two...later on..we will share other books, other recipes....so go there and purchase....bye...

salam....ok...kali ni....it is time for fish.....gambar di atas nie ialah ikan cencaru bakar..ala2 pais ikan la juga. Senang dan cost effective....so ini die antara bahan2 nya.....

ikan cencaru atau ikan lain mcm kembong,selar,tenggiri etc
2 labu besar bawang merah
2 batang serai
cili kisar ikut suke mcm saya lg byk lagi bagus
2 inci halia
garam
gula
daun pisang

Senang saje cara2 die, yang penting ikan mesti dibasuh. Kisar bawang,halia,serai dan cili bersama sedikit minyak dan air. Selepas tu, lumur pada ikan tersebut dan juga kalau nak lg sedap masukkan sekali ke dalam bahagian dalam ikan tersebut. Garam dan gula bole dimasukkan ketika mengisar atau pon bole dilumurkan pada ikan sebelum bahan kisar itu dilumurkan, ikut suke lah. lepas tu, balut ikan dengan daun pisang dan bakar dalam ketuhar lebih kurang 15 minit, ataupun di atas dapur. Anggaran bahan2 dalam menu ni bole ditambah bende lain juga ikut selera masing2, dan yg palng penting bahan2 mestilah bersesuaian dgn ikan tersebut.

the combo....

a few days ago...ak ade ajak few of my friends to have a dinner at my house......x ramai..dlm 5 org for total.....sbb ak da janji  nak masak smthin for them before i'm going back to shah alam....so before the exact day....kene fokus pade bajet dlu....becoz on that moment i really2 ran out of money, so it all depend on my dad for the food cost....hehehe..then alhamdulillah green light....so dalam kepala nie macam dah mende nak masak....tp lepas short listed.....i will cooked  very simple foods n convenient lah.....the menu will be bolognaise macaroni,caesar salad, deep fried curry potato and egg canape' on toasted bread. Sebab aku pilih macaroni instead of spaghetti or vermicelli sebab senang nak makan and bolognaise lg senang meresap within the macaroni....

this picture above was the macaroni....what can i say it is superb...so this the recipe that i am sure all of u can try it very easy.....
1 can of prego original
1 small can of tomato puree
1 pkt of minced beef
2 nos of onion
2 nos of red chilies
1 cup of chili sauce
1 tbsp of coriander powder
seasoning-sugar n salt

the procedures are very simple as i thought...first saute the onion with the coriander powder together with oil.then add in chilies that have been sliced thinly and also same goes with the onion, after it sweat but not burnt add in the minced beef,stir evenly to ensre that the sauteed items are mix well with the beef, let the beef cooked for 10 minutes and less, remember, the juice that secreted by the beef is very essential because it contribute flavour and balance the sour of the tomato and the sweet from the beef. then after the beef turn into dark texture almost grey,then add in both of the tomato puree and the prego. Stir them evenly and if it is a bit thick you can add a glass of water to thin it down,lastly add in the chili sauce and season. the texture is not that thick but it is very mild. then for the macaroni makesure you boiled it until it firm to bite or al dante in french, then you rinse with cold water to stop the heating process that can avoid them from becoming to mushy or too soft. then fold in the cool macaroni into the sauce,make it cooperated well and final touch with chopped parsley and crushed balck pepper, before that remember to add the pepper for your seasoning,more pepper give more heat flavor for the sauce....bon appetit!!!!!!
