  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...

Tuna is always my favorite food. But recently I developed a symptom of feeling unwell when I smell half cooked fish. I cannot stand the fishy smell. So I avoided eating fish for a while, unless it is well seasoned and well cooked. I also started to eat rice porridge frequently as it does helps to comfort my stomach. This simple rice porridge does helps to reduce bloating problem and is also easy to make. But it cannot be eaten alone and must be accompanied with other meal made with meat and vegetable.  I have been thinking on what should I cook to partner with my porridge. Fried anchovies, egg in soy sauce, fried chicken came to mind.  At last  I found a slice of boiled tuna in the fridge and quickly decided on this menu which is soy sauce and ginger tuna. It is a recipe of fried tuna cooked in soy sauce paste until the paste is reduced and dried. This tuna dish has less fishy taste and smell as it is coated with many flavorings and cooked two to three times.  U...

I can say that fried fish is cooked almost everyday for our lunch menu. Be it turmeric fried fish, unseasoned fried fish or boiled fried fish, lunch may not feel complete without it. In the restaurants also there will be crispy spicy fried fish or crispy turmeric fried fish in trays for the costumers to choose for their lunch menu. Hot and crispy fried fish is a very suitable partner to the hot steaming white rice. And today I am going to share the turmeric fried fish recipe for people who have not tried this dish yet to try them. It is a quite easy recipe. The taste of this fried fish is, soft inside and crispy outside. Some people love their whole fried fish to be crispy until the bones become edible. Some prefer it less crispy. Usually this fried fish dish is crispy outside and a bit tender inside. The marinade add flavor to the fish and in the same time decrease the fishy taste of the fish. The crispier the fried fish the less fishy taste it will have. The fish used also must b...

I almost forgot that we have some split gill mushrooms in the fridge. This morning I found them almost completely dried due to the cold refrigerator temperature. I decided to cook two dishes with these mushrooms, 1 for lunch and 1 for dinner.  I remembered that my dad said that split gill mushrooms can be cooked as curry so I decided to cook mushroom curry. I have adjusted this curry recipe to suit the mushroom dried condition and lack of flavor after sitting in refrigerator for more than a week. I added some stock to cover up the lack of mushroom flavor. Being a homemade cook also require us to be creative and adjustable sometimes, in order to save time, and save some ingredients which almost go bad.  Difference in taste between gulai and curry Lots of people mistakenly called gulai as curry when they came to Malaysia and maybe Indonesia. Actually there are some difference between gulai and curry. I am not very knowledgeable in spices mix but I try to explain a bit ...

I was thinking what to cook with the chicken my mom put near the kitchen sink. Usually my mom will fry them after marinating them with turmeric powder and salt. But on the day before my mom cooked tumis , a spicy coconut sauce. It is a sauce added in Nasi Kerabu and also suitable to be served with Ayam Percik (Grilled Chicken in Coconut Sauce) and Ikan Percik (Grilled Fish in Coconut Sauce) . I think I want to cook a different fried chicken than the one my mom always cook to suit the Tumis. Then I thought of this recipe. It is like the fried chicken in my mother's Chicken Rice. I added some ingredients and omitted some. The result satisfy me. The fried chicken has a combination of sweet and savory flavor in it.  Ready in 30 minutes  Ingredients 1/4 chicken (around 400 gram) 1 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 tsp turmeric powder  1/2 tsp fennel seed (crushed to release the flavor) 1 clove garlic (crushed or minced) 1/2 tsp sweet soy sauce Cooking oil for deep frying ...

Kuah dhal memang sinonim dengan roti canai. Bila kita beli roti canai dan bungkus bawa balik, biasanya penjual akan beri kual dhal yang banyak, mungkin untuk kita makan roti canai banjir di rumah. Tapi bukan semua ahli keluarga kita akan makan roti banjir. Jadi berlakulah lebihan kuah dhal. Apa yang selalu kita buat dengan kuah yang lebih ini? Biasanya mak penulis akan buang saja.  Tapi penulis selalu rasa sayang nak buang kuah dhal ni. Sebab banyak dan rasa membazir (walaupun penulis makan roti banjir kat rumah). Jadi timbul satu idea untuk reka masakan baru dari kuah dhal tu.  Penulis fikir ini boleh buat makanan petang. Jadi penulis cuba buat cekodok kuah dhal. Masa tu penulis ada memasak sup ekor untuk makan tengahari, jadi penulis campur sedikit kuah sup ke dalam kuah dhal dan tambah tepung. Kemudian simpan dalam peti sejuk. Jika tak ada kuah sup pun tak mengapa. Tambah saja air. Dan untuk lebih rasa boleh tambah pati ikan bilis atau ayam, atau ikan bilis....

It is cooked in a round and flat shape but usually the texture differs according to personal preference. Some people loves it thick and soft. Some other loves it thin and soft.

For 5 servings Ingredients 3 cups all purpose flour 1 egg 1 teaspoon salt 1 to 2 tablespoons margarine Water Methods Mix all the ingredients together except water. It is okay if the marg...

Malay/English We usually eat fish curry 5 to 7 times a month. Yesterday my mom and Ichah (my 7 years old niece) and my brother went to night market and bought a spanish mackerel fish head. Ichah was the one asking her grandmother to buy the mackerel as she wants my mom to cook her favourite fish soup. So my mom bought 1 slice of mackerel for Ichah and mackerel fish head for us. So when her aunt found the mackerel fish head this morning she went and cook fish head curry. This is a recipe which I always use to cook thin fish curry (fish curry that used little coconut milk). This fish curry recipe is the one I obtained from trial and errors and combination of recipes which I got from here , here and here .
