Breakfast at the Wet Market, Bandar Baru Bangi

One of the best 'nasi lemak' which I have tasted is at the corner stall (the 1st one), on the right, as you go into the gate into the Bandar Baru Bangi wet market. It's call "Gerai ZNI" and the owner is a handsome and polite young man wearing a 'songkok'. You don't just get plain old 'nasi lemak' with just the 'sambal', cucumbers and the rice, but you can choose many other side dishes to add; from 'sambal kerang' (cockles), 'sotong' (squid), 'rendang', even fried chicken which is crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside and much, much more.

I usually just can't resist adding more than two side dishes, often having 'sambal kerang' along with the fried chicken. It's not just 'nasi lemak' that they have that tastes great with the choices of side dishes. I can have the side dishes with other main dishes, such as fried beehoon, or mee.

Not only that, the lontong is also a favourite besides the 'nasi lemak' and eat-ins are as popular as the take-aways.

Most important of all, the drinks are A-okay. I mean that it's not too hot or too cold, when I ask for 'suam', and the sweetness is just right for me. I usually take 'teh o suam' or 'nescafe o suam' in the mornings. I always feel that the perfect drink is important to complement the perfect dish, as is a bad drink will spoil the perfect dish. So not too thick for the tea and not too bitter for the nescafe for me, and I am all set to savour the perfect breakfast to start off my day.

P.S. The service is really good, with the ever so friendly owner and his helpers...

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
