: : Iron Chef : :

After tonite’s episode of Iron Chef on ntv7.

Granny : Wah! I want to eat like that! Got any place in Kuching cook like that ah?

Wena : Errrr… don’t think so lah!

Granny : Haiya! She is good wor!

The contenders were Katsuyo Kobayashi (Japanese TV Cooking Personality) and Chen Kenichi (Iron Chef). Winner was Kobayashi with her amazing menu of 7 dishes compared to Kenichi’s 4! Looks like home-style cooking reigns supreme. I sort of kesian (pity) Kenichi as it’s the 2nd time a woman has between him.

And the diminutive housewife creates 1,000 recipes every year! Wah! 3 recipes a day! She was shouting “Get me an iron pan! No non-stick pan!!” It was a good laugh and she had so much energy moving around.

Right, now to add her cookbook as the first book to my WishList!

: : Slow Saturday : :

Pretty slow today after such a rush rush week. Woke up late and started the day so slow.

Wena : Aik! What’s in the soup for lunch?

Granny : Some mangkuang (hikama) from China.

Wena : Hmmm… taste like yam but more fibre lah!

Granny : Yalor! Very hard to find one. Only during CNY can find one!

All she did was boiled the yam with pork. You can prepare it with chicken.

Later on, we went to a nearby bakery, Mita Cake House to get some bread and decided to buy some sandwiches as well as Layer Cake (my addiction, HB). Left is the tuna sandwich and right is the egg sandwich.

Wena : Hmm…wonder how heavy the cake is since it’s RM21.

Granny : Ah! I got toy to measure weight one! Wait ah! I cari (find) !

Granny : Nah! See? 1 kilo!
