Planted tank 2


This is my planted tank. Look nice no? When I am stress out, I’ll be in front of this tank. Very therapeutic! Schools of fish swimming, plants sway by the current. So many details, movement and activity and yet all is quite. Why cant life be like that. Sigh!

Good vs Evil Salad


This is basicly leftovers and I decided to make it into a salad. The veg is the good part, The Lays potato chips is the evil part. A balance man must have this two qualities and what better way to do that than by eating it!

Maggie Mee Curry Cheese (TM)

I learn this style of cooking when I was still young. That was the time when Maggie is the new kid on the block. Yes I am that old. Anyway, this is good for young people who is not good in cooking to try it out. It will impress your friends at how tasty your Maggie mee cooking is. So far as I know, no one have ever tried this before so I patent this okie?

You start off with small slices of beans. Then cut “Tau Pok” in half then chop garlic in small size.

Heat up a pan of oil and tost in the garlic and prawn. Stir till the garlic is brown then drain the whole thing aside.

Now boil some water. Don’t use too much water cause we want to make this with a bit of gravy only not soup. You must use Maggie mee Curry! Very important cause I have tried using other flavours and brands and it does not taste as good as Maggie Curry. Anyway, add in the mee, followed by the beans and “Tau Pok”. Then add the Maggie seasoning ¾ pack. Don’t add the whole pack cause it will be too salty.

Let it cook for 1 minit then add one egg. Don’t stir the egg. Then add in 1 or 2 Kraf Cheese Slices. Now you can stir it for another 1 minit. If it is too dry, add a bit of water. If too much water, let it simmer a bit longer and it will dry up. Pour the whole thing into a plate and remember the prawn and garlic oil I ask you to set aside? Well, use that to top up your mee and evenly spread the balance oil on top. You can garnish it with rosemarry leaf if you want or anything similar. My tummy is making lots of noise while typing this. Excuess me while I go and “cure” this hunger of mine!

Fish and Veg Wrap


This is an appitizer I made. Dont have a name for it. Just create out of nowhere. It is veg, mushroom and rosemarry leaf wrap in fish slice and steam. It is light and a nice way to start your main course meal.

Unnamed Japanese Dish



This a fish dish that I cook last night. There is no name for it cause I dont know what to called it. First of all, I got everything from Isetan (japanese) and the fish is imported from Japan (funny name can't recalled) The mushroom is shiitake (japanese) and the fish ore is from thoese shops that sells shushi. The gravy is some kind of japanese gravy. It is not sweet like normal japanese gravy). There is also a bit of nil leafs and nori (japanese seaweed) for decoration.

I dont have pictures of the cooking because would you believe it, my kitchen light died on me. So I have to cook the whole thing under candle light! Trust me, there is nothing romantic about cooking under candle light! The fish is sprinkle with sea salt and herbs then microwave for 2 min. Take out then oil the pan with olive oil and pan fried for 5 min. It gives it a nice burning effect. While that is going on, I stir fried the mushrooms in olive oil and add a bit of japanese soya sorce. The gravy is the ready made type. Just add hot water and it is ready to go. With the fish in the plate, add the nori and fish ore. Make a small indent and pour the gravy a bit on top. The rest of the gravy add to the side. You can crush a bit of nori on it if you want. The mushroom add to the other side. Lastly add the nil leafs. Wallah finish! Photograph it and enjoy it!
