OFF TOPIC

OFF TOPIC: Dude where's my car?

April 19, 2012

This was taken the day we bought the car. Our little green UIA :(

Our car got stolen!!! Tapi mcm kartun je. So the bastard stole our car around 10 pm mcm tu. I called the police to report it, and they called me the next day informing that they found the car. It was like 30 km from here. Bodoh dah curi bukan nak lari jauh2. So we had to pick it up at a holding yard. Dah la kena bayar towing fees sampai AUD300 lebih x pasal2. Then when the car was returned to us we were like, awhhh, our poor green car. It was super dusty, because the police had to dust it for finger prints. The rearview mirror was broken, the ignition box was smashed open which basically meant anybody can start the car with basically anything! And to top it off, the passenger window won't roll up. Kalau x boleh roll down okay lagi. Since semua org tgh sengkek and don't have budget to repair the car we just parked it at Pong's basement parking space. Safer than parking it where it got stolen which is in front of our building. Now the car's worse than ever. X boleh reverse, the engine is making funnier noises than before, maybe we should just dispose it. Pencuri x guna.

Prawns

Teriyaki Prawns

April 15, 2012

Ingredients
500 grams prawns, peeled and deviened
4-5 tbsp of Teriyaki sauce. Preferably ones with garlic and sesame. If not u can always add garlic paste and 1 tsp of sesame oil into your already available Teriyaki Sauce
1 stick of
Spring onions for garnishing

Instructions
1) Marinade the prawns with the sauce for about 15 mins
2) Bring the pan the medium-high heat and heat up some oil. Add in the carrots and prawns together with the juices from the marinate
3) Stir for about 3-5 minutes until the prawns turn orange-y. And since this is a stir fry dish, you'd want the prawns to be coated, not drenched in the sauce. So just stir until the sauce thickens

Chicken

Chicken Soup

Ingredients
3-4 chicken pieces (preferably drumsticks or wings)
3 red shallots
2 cloves of garlic
2 small potatoes, cubed
1 stick of carrots

2 bunga lawang
2 bunga cengkih
2 chicken Knorr cubes
1 litre of water (approx.)
Salt and sugar to taste

500 grams beef (sliced thinly)

4) Next, add the vegetables in, some water and close the wok/pan with a lid to steam the vege for about 30 secs to 1 minute
