food glorious food

on sunday afternoon before we left london, i popped into Noodle Oodle, Bayswater to tapau some lauk for dinner. senang kan, bila sampai rumah tak payah masak. the chinese restaurant serves halal food yang memang sedap. i got sweet sour chicken, crispy duck, braised lamb in soy sauce. lupa pulak nak beli fried chicken wing in salted eggs.

sampai aja kat rumah, masak nasi and had dinner at 6.30pm sebab semua dah kelaparan dan tak sabar nak makan 'out of the norm' lauk. not long after we finished eating, my friend sani came membawa lauk pauk that his parents cooked. his dad (who is chinese) cooked braised dried mushroom in soy sauce & sesame oil and steamed telur masin - something new to us and delicious. his mom made pegedil daging & ayam masak merah. so, the 4 lauk boleh makan in 2 days.

on monday makan lauk melayu dengan nasi pilau. on tuesday masak ayam goreng kicap to compliment the chinese dishes. 4 hari berturut turut makan nasi ..by the way, saturday nite balik from legoland makan nasi dengan lauk pauk beli kat msian hall - asam pedas ikan patin, sambal tumis udang & petai, telur masin, sayur kacang & taugeh.

for tonite's dinner tak nak makan nasi, so i cooked simple pasta dish - spaghetti (ganti linguine) with lemon, garlic & thyme mushroom; recipe from nigella express cookbook. terasa pulak nak makan dessert. meringue dah ada and i asked kamar to buy double cream & fresh berries after work untuk buat eton mess, also using nigella's recipe from the same book. sehingga menjilat jari....
ngeeee... one satisfied cutomer..she had 2 bowls of mushroom soup pre dinner, tak sangka habis makan 1 bowl of pasta & eton mess.
