“I never worked in a restaurant before. But I love to experiment and I always watch the food shows for ideas. But I still think food is at its best when it’s just good food.”
Gary Roberson
I thought it was char koi. But Mr Husband insisted it was Kuih Tulang [=bone cake]. So, Kuih Tulang it is. Its got a nice texture and slight crispiness to it eventhough its been standing out for a while. Nice finger food. And we sure got a lot for MYR 3.
“The great networks are there to prove that ideas can be canned like spaghetti”
Nevertheless, my mother makes the best spaghetti ever. Even Garfield would ditch the lasagna for it. Moms spaghetti may lack the Italian spices to it but it still has its distinctive home-made taste. The secret is in its sauce. And almost like a rare treat, she only makes them on special occasions. Like when someone gets good grades in school. Or when her daughter comes for a visit. Teeheehee..

“We’re actually together, its just not on FaceBook yet!”
Though that was a joke from one of my colleagues, it definitely was a great start for our farewell dinner. There’s no turning back. The papers have gone through, our belongings packed and secured. Whats left are the nitty gritty things like ending contracts and getting rid of whatever necessary.
We had dinner at our local Bella Italia. Ran by a family of Bosnian citizens which came here during the war. Not a refugee anymore, they’ve opened up this beautiful, small, cosy haven fit for couples or family to enjoy a nice Italian meal. I had my Penne Ala Arabiatta. So did Mr Husband. The others had pizza, some sort of bread with cheese and lattes. Scrumptious meals and good company.
We reminisced the times when we first got to know each other and the department we worked in at the time. It was a blast. Time flew, really fast and circumstances changed. for instance myself. In over just a year, my statis changed from Single to Married and now Mother of One. WOW!!! And I had thought I would die as a spinster.
After the dinner we didnt say Goodbye. Just a Till We Meet Again.

Apart from Motherhood, I am also on a culinary quest to provide tasty food on the table. Today I cooked up Sambal Udang.
And here is how I did it. Forgive me for not quantifying the ingredients. I only use and adhere to them strictly when making pastries.
My spice paste consists of dried chillies, onion and belacan.
Good Luck. Mr Husband loved it.
