Tupai Tupai, KL

Here is the first one I am going to tell you about. This place is just right across the street from my office. I'd rather drive my car out of my office building parking lot and go one round into this eats parking rather than risk a dangerous run across the road, but it's worth the effort.

Someone actually introduced me to it during the company's farewell to an employee. It provides a variety of Malaysian dishes to appeal for everyone's diversified tastes; since we were from different cultural backgrounds. We had a satisfying dinner with food that was able to fulfill the palate; hot and spicy soups, sweet, salty dishes, fresh and green vegetables, to top the steaming white rice that made the perfect end meal of the day topped with the good company.

They have good lunch too... And I have driven my car for the 2 minute drive a few more times to meet up with friends for lunch.

In short;
The environment: Cool and comfortable even with many guests and all tables full, under the high thatched roof and timber structure beneath a canopy of trees and the call of birds.

The food: I said it haven't I. This is one place I would go to meet friends and have a truly Malaysian meal of rice and a variety of side dishes to top it.

The service: Fast and to the point. They take your order, once, you get your food and drink, and they give you the receipt that states how much it all costs. When you are done, just pay at the counter as you leave. Neat. No hassle, just good food and plenty of talk with the friends.

Recommended: At Jalan Dewan Bahasa, across from the MAA Building with its entrance across from the IDFR Office. Open for lunch as early as 12 noon and for dinner (I've been there 'til 10pm).

Introducing Organic Valley Products: Recipe for Butter Scones

The next recipe I would love to share using these wonderful products is the recipe for Butter Scones. I requested some heavy cream and they gave me Heavy Whipping Cream. Nevertheless, I am going to try making some clotted cream from scratch. This will have to be done the day before and if it turns out well, I shall have some "English" clotted cream to go with my scones. Other than that, on the day itself, depending on the condition of the sample heavy whipping cream product, I shall demo how to whip up some whipped cream as well. Put all of that together with the scones... butter, clotted cream, whipped cream and some really good strawberry jam, I think we got a tea party going on here. I'll let you know how the clotted cream came out in the coming posts. ~ Aunty Faizah

Ayam Perchik, FELDA Hutan Percha, Melaka

Right out there in the middle of nowhere is this little watering hole. It is located under a tree right in the middle of a FELDA kampung. There are even reviews about this delicious item in various blogs and sites. Just google it and you will see. Well, I am lucky because I happen to be married to the guy whose kampung is the infamous FELDA Hutan Percha. So even when there are many outsiders who come from near and far to savor this famous and tasty grilled chicken in its special gravy cooked over open heat, the proprietor of the place is a neighbour and the community knows him well. It is a pride that Pak Hassan, but locally we know him as Pak Itam, has managed to put our humble neighbourhood on the map. Way to go Pak Hassan! It's open only on Fridays and Sundays, and I gotta tell you to be there by 4pm 'coz by 6:30pm they're all sold out. Also because it's so well known, be prepared to wait for a table, or for any take away orders. But, I assure you the wait is wo

Homemade Pizza for Buka this Ramadan 2009

You get tired of eating rice day in, day out during Ramadan. It goes for me when it is not Ramadan. But the thought of making homemade pizza was appealing. Using a simple recipe for the base and the toppings... whatever my heart, and taste buds desired at the moment I came out with this version. And what would go better with homemade pizza, is non other than a cup of hot coffee. Here's the recipe: Pizza Base : 2 1/2 cups plain flour 1/4 cup olive oil 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoon dry powdered yeast 2/3 cup lukewarm water Place flour, salt and olive oil in a bowl. Sprinkle the yeast over the lukewarm water to dissolve, then add to the flour mixture. Knead ingredients together in the bowl, then turn out onto a floured work surface and knead vigorously for about 5 minutes. Roll out dough to fit a greased baking tray. Place on tray, cover and leave to rise in a warm place for 30 minutes. Toppings : Spread the pizza base with tomato sauce. I use "Preg
