   Banana is a well loved tropical fruit. It is sweet and soft. And a little bit creamy. Banana is less sweet when it just ripe, and become sweeter until it about to rot. It is usually eaten raw and fresh.  In Malaysia, there are many dish made with banana. Most of them are sweet dish, often eaten as dessert or breakfast. There are also banana curry, a dish from northern peninsula. Indian and Malay rice are also prepared by putting the rice and meat on a banana leaf.

Yesterday we got fresh fish from market. I am not sure what the fish is called in English but I think it is called Ox eye Scad. The fish eye is bigger than ordinary fish eye. The fish taste more like Indian Mackerel to me but a little bit fattier. We decided to just fry these two fishes for lunch.  Hot deep fried fresh fish is just a very delicious meal for lunch. Plus the flavor from  fresh herbs from the marinade made you add more rice unconsciously. It is also a good pair for rice and curry, rice and gulai, and rice and fish soup.  The fish is best eaten just after it is being fried, while it is hot. If you keep the fried fish longer the fish may become soggy and cold. This recipe is easy to make. You can use both river and sea fish for this recipe, and fresh fish is the best option. There are many version of fried fish in Malay culture with more ingredients in it. But if you just have turmeric and garlic in the kitchen you may try this recipe.  Ready in 1 hour In...

  Bloating is a common problem for many of us. It causes uncomfortable feeling, body pain, feeling irritated, nausea and headache. A problem that sound simple but really makes our life disturbed. Usually, we go to the doctor for treatment, or we just buy medicines at the pharmacy. But we can also try to eat food that can reduce or treat bloating problem. It is also better if we try to find the cause of the bloating problem first, as this problem can be caused by many factors.  Ginger, garlic and some other herbs are often believed to reduce bloating problem. For me it really works. Drinking ginger tea really helps our body to eliminate extra gasses. It also makes our body feel better.  But besides making ginger tea, I am now making my anti-bloating congee, and eat it for lunch. It can save me some times from brewing tea, as I just need to eat my lunch to feel full and heal the pain.  This congee is bland in flavor, and it is usually eaten with another meat or eg...

The crispier the fried fish the less fishy taste it will have. The fish used also must b...

Canned sardine is a versatile food which we can use to cook many dishes. There are several types of canned sardines, such as sardine in oil and sardine or tuna in tomato sauce. The way it is processed made sardines bones to be soft and edible. This makes the canned sardine more convenient to be consumed and also simplified the fish sandwich making process.  Today I cooked a simple dish out of a canned sardine. This is initially my father's recipe and we eat this with rice. I call it Canned Sardine Soup. It is a thin soup made with some spices and canned sardine with its tomato sauce.

Kerabu is a type of salad in Malaysia. I think in Thailand there  are also similar dish like this. It is a form of vegetable, fruit and or meat salad which are finely chopped and mixed with other ingredients and flavorings such as grated coconut, coconut milk, nuts and many others.  Kerabu is really tasty when eaten with rice.  It is good eaten along with curry, and gulai. One of the kerabu recipe is Sambal Pauh which I will translate as Spicy Fish and Mango salad. Even though it is called sambal it look and taste more like salad.  Sambal Pauh is a dish which contains a combination of spicy, salty, fishy, a hint of sweet and sour taste. These combination of taste maybe enough to satisfy our taste buds. Maybe that is why many people just eat it alone with rice.  This dish can be side dish to curry or gulai, or become the main dish, only with rice.  Ingredients 1 medium size fish (usually mackerel is used) 1 small unripe mango 1 teaspoon chili paste 1 or ...

Vegetable pancake is one of my favorite breakfast food. It is delicious, nutritious and fulfilling. It is also a flexible recipe, as I can always change some of the ingredients based on what I have in the kitchen.  Lately I have been persuading myself to eat more and more vegetable everyday.
