Fried Nestum Chicken Recipe

Today I am going to introduce one of my boyfie's signature dish: Nestum Chicken! It is similar to frying chicken fillets with a coating of breadcrumbs. The only difference is, the chicken fillet are coated with Nestum oats and they taste and smell ten times better! Oh my, I can literally smell the aroma of the Nestum while blogging about it. Such a dish, it is a crowd pleaser. This I can definitely assure you. It is good for picky kiddos, hungry teenagers, and even the elders! Usually I serve Nestum chicken as a side dish with rice but we can always just make it as a fun snack.

Ingredients: Serves about 4-5 people

3 pieces of chicken keel (de-boned and the meat is cut into bite size fillet strips like above)

200g of Nestum oat

300g of all-purpose flour

2 large eggs (beaten)

Oil

Marinade:

2 tbsp of soy sauce

1 1/2 tbsp of oyster sauce

Pepper

Loh Mee Recipe [ 卤面 ]

Hello! It's been a looong time since I posted a new recipe despite the fact that I went through a long holiday. I had been super busy all holiday that I didn't have much time to experiment with new recipes. Two days ago, I was shopping for groceries in Tesco and I saw the thick yellow egg noodles for sale. My immediate thought was, "Gosh, I miss having Loh Mee...". The Loh Mee that I crave for isn't the type that we can usually find in northern Malaysia where they use thin yellow noodles and have a darker broth. The Loh Mee that I crave for tastes a little bit like shark-fin soup as it is served with black vinegar and it looks like this! 

Ingredients: (Serves 2 big portions)

400g of thick yellow egg noodles

150g of sawi bunga (choy sam， 菜心)

350g of boneless chicken breast meat

2 eggs

80g of fish cake

2 small garlic whole bulbs

1 cube of chicken bouillon cube

Light soy sauce

Black vinegar

Salt

Sugar

Cornflour

The Cafe BBQ Chicken [One City Mall, Subang Jaya]

Around 3 months ago, I celebrated my Yeobo's 21st birthday with her at One City Mall. Of course, dinner was my treat. We had a good time, talking about her job, her work relationships, her love life etc. Oh, she even brought me up all the way to the 10th floor of One City Mall which is where the SkyPark is located. It was a place so high up, you can practically see most of USJ, Subang Jaya :D I totally loved it.

So, for dinner, we went to this place called The Cafe BBQ Chicken which I can't really tell what it specializes in. My guess is it specializes in some Korean flavour chicken thing, so we went in and tried it anyway. 

So, we started by taking a veryyy long look through the menu.
Sometimes, the hardest decision is to decide what to eat.

After I decided what I would eat, she was still deciding what to eat.
So, I used the free time to take pictures of the interior of the restaurant.
This picture is the section deeper into the restaurant. The glass door at
the other end opens to the exterior of the mall. 

Well, you also have a stairs which leads to the upstairs dining area.

But, it was not open for seating that day.

We were seated right next to the counter. It makes calling for service easier :)

So, after we ordered and stuff, it took about maybe 15-20 minutes at least for our food to come. The drinks came before that of course, so no complains about that.

Dear Yeobo had this nice little mug of Caffe Mocha ♥ RM 8.90 

and I, well... I like cold drinks so I chose Pineapple Mint ♥ RM 8.90

Next up, Yeobo's Korean Charbroiled chicken meal that comes with 2 or 3
side dishes ♥ RM 17.90

This was my Original Barbeque meal that comes with 2 side dishes ♥ RM 18.90

To be honest, I personally think this cafe is charging an above average price for the portion of food that they're serving. No doubt, their food tasted okay. Oh wells :)

Location of the store:

One City Mall,

A-GF-03, Jalan USJ 21/10,

Subang Jaya, Selangor.

Happy eatin' ☺

Sushi Cake [Rice Cooker Recipe]

Today is the 20th of March! Today is his 21st birthday! Hurray!!! *partypoppers*

To mark this special birthday, I planned ahead and made a special cake for him. Yup, it is the sushi cake. The reason why I thought of making a sushi cake is that: he has this constant craving for sushi. Every 2 or 3 days, he will be whining about wanting to eat sushi, pleading me to just give him some sushi rice and seaweed so that he can satisfy his weird cravings! Therefore, I just thought like, "Hey, maybe I can do a fusion of something like a cake and also like sushi?" I did try to Google for sushi cakes but all I get are pictures of sponge cakes decorated with fondant sushi. That's not what I am trying to look for, and I couldn't find a recipe and tutorial available online. In the end, I just decided to create my own version of a sushi cake. 

Tadaaa! This is my sushi cake! ♥♥♥

Ingredients:

2.5 cups of raw Japanese rice

1 cup of sushi vinegar

Mayonnaise

1 can of tuna in brine

1 small avocado

Several cherry tomatoes

21 medium-sized prawns

1 packet(box) of Korean roasted seaweed

Salt

Shunka Japanese Family Restaurant (Sungai Petani branch)

This restaurant can be called on of those high end Japanese restaurants that you would find in Sungai Petani. I usually don't eat here often because the price range is above average, but I do come here for special occasions. For example, I'm here this time to celebrate one of my roommate's 21st birthday!

So, I think we were their first customer that day for the dinner shift. We chose to sit in the box because we find it a bit uncomfortable to sit at the dining chair outside of the box. Not that the chair is made of pins or whatever, but it is just that the space allocated for one chair is pretty small and it is quite hard to get on and out of the chair =.= Sometimes, I feel that a person who is slightly bigger in size would find it difficult trying to squeeze in and have a seat. A box, on the other hand, is more spacious.

So, skip the talk and I shall show you all what I ordered that day. I don't really remember the price of each and every item but I can tell you the price range for each dish is around RM 7-RM25. 

Tamagoyaki ♥

Seasoned Fried Tofu ♥

Ddukbukki ♥

Katsudon set ♥

Fish and Chips ♥

Kimchi Fried Rice ♥

Ishiyaki Bibimbap ♥ This was my dish!

By looking at the dishes above, you can totally notice that this restaurant is not entirely Japanese cuisine. They have some of the Korean cuisine and also Western cuisine. I think it is kind of like a mix. If you frequent this place, you can apply for a membership where you will get a card and you can get 10% discount off your total bill! I think if you go on members day (which is either a Tuesday or Wednesday), you will be entitled a 20% discount. For more info, you all can visit their website by clicking here.
