A simple Fish Sambal recipe from my kitchen to you.... :) I was looking high and low for threadfin ( senangin )...unfortunately I didn't find them! And got myself some fresh mackerels. Initial plan is to just fry the mackerels but my younger sister requested for sambal, infact she said she'll eat anything made of fish! I teased her to eat it raw and she was willing to, if I pay her RM100...lol she might do it! I stepped back... :D Realised I've not cooked fish sambal for some time...so might as well cook it. The spiciness was just right because my kids need to eat the same. Everyone enjoyed the dish, so do myself! The fish was indeed very fresh. I had to do a quick photoshoot as there were few tummies already waiting for me! You may try out this sambal with any fishes of your choice. FISH SAMBAL / SAMBAL IKAN Ingredients :~ 10 blocks of fresh mackerel  2 tsp turmeric powder few dashes of coarse blackpepper 5 shallots * 7 cloves of garlic * 1/2 inch gin

Seeing you all again on a beautiful Friday... Are you a chocoholic? Me not, but cannot resist on chocolates whenever I see my kids. They can make anyone chocoholics....serious! Not forgetting the main sweet tooth in our family, yes My Hubby! Like Papa, like son and daughter :) Made these fudges yesterday simply because I wanted to keep myself busy, lol! Actually I wanted to finish off the cashew nuts I had in stock. Chocolate fudge, usually made in bars. I prepared in cuppies, thus the title!  Come closer, check out the recipe and pictures...;) NUTTY CHOCOLATE FUDGE CUPPIES Ingredients :~ 200gm dark chocolate about 55% cocoa ~ chopped 30gm salted butter ~ chopped 150gm sweetened condensed milk 1/2 tsp vanilla essence or any flavour of your choice ( mint or orange ) 80gm chopped nuts ~ I added cashews Method :~ In a saucepan, add dark chocolate, butter and sweetened condensed milk.

Before I move on with my recipe today, let me thank each and every of you for commenting on my latest header. It's really nice to read compliments every time I sign in...haha!  Our treat over the weekend, brownies and guava juice. My kids enjoyed the evening..why not, it has their favourite Nutella in it. They remained silent and gave their verdict only after the last spoon. Owh, I was truly fascinated but didn't plan to interrupt by clicking their joyful acts. Was admiring them as they indulged into their brownie world...lol! Me       : Rishie, so how is the brownie, do you like it? Rishie  : Very tasty Ma! I like..(pointing his thumbs up). Me       : Ashika, what about you, you liked the brownie? Ashika : Ashika want somemore!!! And, like I said before...I prefer brownies more than cakes. For a twist, I bake them in individual ramekins...bored of having squared brownies. These would have been perfect with a scoop of vanilla ice cream...yumm! NUTELLA CASHEW BROWN

Hello friends, it's going to be a loooooong post with loads of photos today! We threw a Satay Party for a special group from Malaysia Marine Club last Saturday night. I'm sure you are aware that my Husband is keeping a 7 foot marine aquarium in our home. I've posted some pics of his tank and the inhabitants some time back. If you've not read about it, do check it out HERE . Husband, who is a member of the club welcomed the whole group to our home. These guys, the reef fanatics had always shared their stories and experiences at the club forum. This was the first time they met my Husband and his tank in person. I tell you, they are all so friendly and I truly felt the 1Malaysia spirit! And they are definitely reef fanatics as I said. Their willingness to share and gain knowledge in marine tank impressed me...:) I managed to get some shots of them that night. Sorry my pictures are not so good as they are all taken under low light and I'm no expert in that (okay
