Soy Cod Fish With Crispy Garlic
Sharing my husband favourite cod fish dish. Sometimes i steam them and drizzle the hot soy sauce just before serving, but this time i just pan fried. Sharing below this super easy way to prepare this dish.
Recipe : Soy Cod with Crispy Garlic
2 pieces cod fish - wash with lime n put aside
Marinate :
2 tbsp light soy sauce
1 tbsp grated ginger
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp sesame oil
Salt & white pepper
Heat pan with 2 tbsp coconut cooking oil - Cod is oily fish so a bit of oil is sufficient. Cook for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side. Take out and let it rest on a plate.
Top the fish crispy garlic flakes and chopped spring onion. Lastly drizzle the hot oil from the pan (if any).
Ready to serve.
Thanks for reading and hope you will give this a try.

My kids are busy with assignment & work today, so Mr husband and i decided to go for a lunch date. We haven’t been on a date for a long time as the children always tag along. I suppose as they grow older we will eventually end up how we started. Just the two of us.

Lunch at Salero Nogori Asli
I used to be their regular at Amcorp Mall, Subang Jaya and Kelana Jaya restaurants. I still remember the smell of teak wood furnitures that serves the most delicious ayam goreng berempah (spiced fried chicken)and gulai tunjang (curry tendons). Those days their menu was exotic as some days they have gulai otak lembu (brain) my friend Mazni’s favourite.
Then they closed all their restaurants.
Imagine how happy i am to rediscover that they have reopen at Setia Alam. Came here with my son today for lunch. Delicious just like the old days!
We ordered :
Spiced fried kg chicken
Fried cat fish
Gulai tunjang
Daging dengdeng
Gulai tempoyak
Sambal ijo / merah
If you in a look out for authentic minang and negeri sembilan food, come over to

Salam Awal Muharram
Yesterday was the new year in Islamic calender. I am taking the opportunity of the long weekend to just stay put in KL and enjoy cooking and spending time with family.
Driving in KL is so peaceful without the usual traffic. Manage to squeeze a bit of shopping as well.
We didn’t have breakfast today so first meal is lunch at 12pm. I made green beef curry with small brinjal, sambal sardine, gulai pumpkin, boiled vegetables and sambal penyek. I haven’t made green curry for a long time. Must remember to make it more often. Its so fragrant and delicious. Btw i have shared green curry recipe before, will repost the link at IGStory shortly.
Some of you must be on the way back to the city. Take your time and drive safely home.
Love always,

My Love Language is Food
I’m a very easy person to buy gifts for. Sometimes when my friends went abroad they bought cooking ingredients that i might not find easily here. It’s truly wonderful and i appreciate the kind gesture. May Allah rewards you bountiful for the kindness.
I suppose that’s my love language, receiving gifts, feeling grateful and turning it into something scrumptious & delicious.
This time it’s packats of goodies from Japan and vegetables from Malacca. My daughter loves the tempura flour, it’s light and not greasy. I made kimchi soup using the fish & vegetable stock. Sooo flavourful.
My son brought back few small kampung pumpkins from Malacca and they’re so sweet steamed or as tempura. Lovely!

Happy 25th Birthday
Celebrating my eldest son birthday yesterday night. May Allah blessed you with happiness, success, peace, good health, showers you with blessings and keep you under His divines protection.

After dinner, my sister & i decided to treat the birthday boy his favourite fruit. We went to Durianbb Park 榴槤BB 四季果園 which is near Emily’s. Currently Durian BB is getting durian supplies from Penang. Swipe to last for durian’s photo. The IOI was sweet with slight bitterness. Musangking of course was sweet & creamy.
Lovely night out with family and i truly treasure time we spend together.

Sunday Lunch
What’s cooking today ? Hope these dishes gives you some inspiration. I cooked masak lemak or yellow curry chicken with few pieces of old cucumber. Simmer the kampung chicken in slow fire so it’s gravy thickens but not curdled.
Our family likes to eat Yellow Curry with fried salted fish or fried steamed fish. Other than sambal belacan, you can eat fried fish with soy + vinegar. Ohh juling mata makan ni 😜

Wagyu Tendon Stew
I had the Asumo Trial Course at RM130/- per head recently. The set comes with 50 grams of australian beef and 50 grams of japanese wagyu, crunchy kale salad, wagyu humburg, wagyu tendon soup, garlic rice and matcha parfait.The wagyu tendon stew stood out the most for me.
The first cook that simmers chunks of wagyu tendons with white radish is a genius. This tradisional japanese stew recipe is rich with flavour and radish add sweetness and cut the fat taste from tendons. Only at
Photo : We also ordered 200 grams sliced 3 kinds (flap meat, rump & chuck rib)

Spicy Asian Chicken Salad
Sometimes we have leftovers chicken. I do not like to waste, white meat from roast chicken breast is best to repurpose as pot pie filling or chicken salad.
I am sharing recipe for sweet, sour chicken salad. You can pretty much add whatever is available in your chiller. I like to add juicy tomato cherry, lots of coriander and crushed peanuts for texture.
Drizzle chili flakes (or cut chilis) and lime juice for spicy & sour flavour. I sometime add blanched mung bean noodle (su’un) for bulk and carbohydrate, you can omit it and keep it lowcarb.
Sharing song from my generation (gen x) my sister & i grew up listening to of The Eurythmics.

Breakfast for Two
I have been quiet for few days. Busy working on a delicious vegan recipe for Wesak Day next week. It’s keto, lowcarb, savoury and yummy.
I am sharing breakfast plate for family this morning. Cooking breakfast at home is not only delicious but cheaper too. You can build the plate with whatever you have at home to add to the main, Omelette.
Our breakfast today :
Omelette (butter + 4 eggs)
Salad
Watermelon
Macadamia nuts
Sweet basil
Sourdough
Hot honey lemon
I have recovered from flu and cough but infected my husband. Hope the hot honey lemon ease his scratchy throat. Other than sending kids to work and college, i’m on self imposed isolation.
Looks like another week of staying in and recovering till everyone’s better.
Have you tried steam pear with honey and ginger for cough ? Some of my friends swear that’s its effective in treating cough with phlegm. Going to make some later and post the recipe.
We’ll talk more later ok.

Savoury Breakfast
How best to start your day ? Go for a walk and then break your fast.
You can break your fast anytime of the day. But if there’re one thing i’m consistent is eating savoury breakfast. Occasionally we might have greek yogurt with berries but omelette is a steady staple in our house.
Have a wonderful week and i pray that everything goes your way.

Meal Planner For Ramadan
I am sharing a simple Meal Planner for Ramadan. It’s a guide to ensure that our meal is well balance. I find it very useful when i’m planning meals and grocery shopping.
We normally eat at home and breaking fast with simple food. In preparing menu always pay attention to food quality instead of quantity or variety. There are many benefit in cooking our own food, one we have better control of the ingredients used and secondly less food wastage.
Some Food Tips For Ramadan :
Sahoor / Predawn meal:
1. Sahoor with food that fills you up. We like to eat breakfast type of meal, scramble eggs, soft boil eggs, meat filled sandwich, porridge or protein smoothie.
2. Add Himalayan / sea-salt or electrolyte drops to your drink during Sahoor. I add about 2 drop of electrolytes to Nabeez Water.
Break Fast
1. Plan menu with focus on Protein, Fibre and good carbohydrates. Can use my template as guide.
2. For dessert make a habit of serving cut fruit platter instead of fruit juices or sweet kueh.
3. Buy or cook protein dishes and freeze them for easy use. On busy days you just thaw them.
Most importantly enjoy your Ramadan. It’s time for reflection, gratitude, charity, cleanse our heart and pray for forgiveness.

US Veto UN call for ceasefire to Gaza again on Friday 8 Dec 2023
I am going to leave it here so i will remember that not all of us is human. Some are monster.
“UNITED NATIONS, Dec 8 (Reuters) - The United States on Friday vetoed a proposed United Nations Security Council demand for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in the war between Israel and Palestinian militant group Hamas in Gaza, diplomatically isolating Washington as it shields its ally.

Thirteen other members voted in favor of a brief draft resolution, put forward by the United Arab Emirates, while Britain abstained. The vote came after U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres made a rare move on Wednesday to formally warn the 15-member council of a global threat from the two-month long war.“ from Reuters
