Stir-fry bolognaise pasta – 1st attempt

we got bored of the usual cook-the-noodle-and-sauce-separately. and after tried stir-fried spaghetti several times for breakfast, we decided to tried it ourselves.

as usual, the ingredients :-

  Decided to use Fettuccine instead of Spaghetti

 

lazy people ingredient #1 – ready made beef balls

 

  lazy people ingredient #2 – canned Prego sauce and mixed herbs

 

and also our unsung hero ie, garlic and other seasonings. haha!

  1st things 1st, fry the balls (balls??? hahaha!) till they are 80% cook.

 

next, cook the pasta till al-dente.

 

mix in the sauce, balls and oter seasonings and sir-fry it for a while.

 

Voila!!! the end result. the presentation was crappy though. haha!

 

how does it differ from the ones we always cook? taste is ok, but not without the following flaws :-

1. it was a tad too dry although you may think otherwise based on the photo above

2. the beef balls lack taste other than the beefy taste as there aren’t any seasoning or marinade in it. next time we will use ground meat instead.

3. we did not get the taste that we wanted

 

and the final verdict? i would give it 5 out of 10. just passed.

time to spy the cooks on the spaghetti stall again!

As I was alone…

since i will be alone for dinner tonight, i ended up walking around Petaling Street to get something for my dinner.

something that will be served to me fast,

something that is cheap and affordable.

something that gives me a lot of memories.

 

yeah, this is the place that GF and i used to frequent a lot when we were doing part time jobs in Sogo.

 

this is the place that serve the kick-ass asam laksa in KL. it’s quite popular in Petaling Street too. one of the best (but then again, the one in Penang is still the best. check out my previous post).

it’s been some time since we came here for the asam laksa. not much changes to place except

1. the kangkung sotong is gone and had since  been replaced by some peddlers selling lighters…

2. The rude auntie in the asam laksa stall is gone! woo hoo!

3. the price. need i say more?

but as long as the taste does not change, i don’t really mind bout other changes.

this place also reminds me of a funny conversation between the staff and a customer. it goes something like this :

 

Customer : ni dou yao meh sik? (what do you serve here?)

Staff : yao asam laksa, ching tong meen, gah li meen (we have asam laksa, clears soup noodle, curry noodles)

Customer : gam, yao mou ching tong gah li meen ah? (then do you have clear soup curry noodle?)

Staff : *Sweat*

it’s obvious that the customer is not a local as such noodles doesn’t exist. i don’t think i will ever forget this. haha!

Asam Laksa in Petaling Street FTW!!!

Ramadhan Dinner

it’s Puasa time. which also translates a visit to Baazar Ramadhan to get some great food!

not that we fast though. on the contrary, it is the time when we indulge more. haha!

below are our bounty for the day :

  Laksa Utara. this reminds me of the day back in the uni…

 

  Popiah basah. good, not soggy or taste like rubber. texture is just nice.

 

  Ayam Percik and Nasi Dagang + ikan kembung goreng. doesn’t look and taste like ayam percik to me though, and the nasi dagang? Failed big time!

 

Roti John + murtabak daging + cendol. i give two thumbs up  for all of it!!!

 

and this is a dinner for two. so much for a fasting month…
