The day before the start of a new week.

Had a lil' BBQ yesterday with some of my secondary school friends. Heh, people go out and visit each other during Hari Raya, we have a BBQ instead....takpe...class XD

Anyway the number of people attending is actually pretty small, me, Hady, Irwan, Shara, Sophia, and the girls. As usual the guys other than me start the fire and do the cooking while the girls just sit there and eat. Oh yes this time round I'm not the food tester it's Sophia, lucky XD

But still feeling a lil' bum out, put in so much effort and like only a few appreciate it. Anyway I got a couple pictures of the food. I gave up taking people's picture after seeing how crappy it turn out to be.














After 12 it's just us four guys, Shara whip out Monopoly Marvel Version out of his car and we proceed to play Monopoly all the way till 5am in the morning. I forgot how much fun a simple board game can be when played together with friends. XD

Played till 5am well actually Irwan when bankrupt at that moment so we decide to call it a night....erm morning. Shara went to pick up Sophia at Woodland before dropping us home. And of course jokes with ghey undertone fill the car from Pasir Ris all the way home.

Laze around at home today when I realise that I was suppose to clean my room up....never mind next time XD. *Sigh* I don't feel like going back to work on Monday T_T

Oh yes Syen decide to shoot me again even though 3 life is gone and she did not insert a token for a continue. And Kaka dd not make it better by coming along and reviving me with her priest.......... o.O wait Kaka's priest "Revive me".....OMG HAXX0R!!!!!

If Yan can cook *Insert Lightning Strike* Ok Ok Yan CAN"T cook...*Grumble*

Wow Yan cook....ok for those of you who know me since Secondary School don't insert the Maggi mee joke.

Anyway it all started during Lic Yong's wedding dinner at Persada Johor. We were happily enjoying the food when this dish, Butter Sauteed Prawn in Vermicelli Basket, came to our table. Upon tasting it Hafiz and me were actually trying to figure out what was the ingredient used. So the conversation goes like this or something to this effect;

Me: hmm think they fried the prawn first. Egg and flour I guess.
Hafiz: I think they use oat.
Me : Really? Hmm... a bit spicy and a slight taste of curry.

Oh by the way, the name of the dish, I made that up. Frankly I can't even remember the name of the dishes served, eat first.

Well since today is a Sunday and I'm feeling a wee bit hardworking I decide to try making the dish and no I did not burn my kitchen down.

Of course me being me I got my Sis to buy the prawns and De-shell them on Saturday XD
But she did not De-veined the prawns...oh well ain't that hard to De-vein.....it's just tedious.

After cleaning the prawns I prepared the batter. I used 4 Yolk + 1 full egg. As for the 4 egg white I use it in the soup, I'll get to it later.

Remember Hafiz saying he taste oats during the wedding dinner? Now I was so damn sure I have some oats in the kitchen cabinet but as luck would have it Mom brought it to work.

So how? No oats? Die.... But never fear, sadistic medic can always improvised.
So I substitute the oats with bread crumbs. So bread crumbs, flour, chilli powder and a lil' salt.





Prawns in the egg and the flour/bread crumb mixture

Dip the prawn in the egg and coat it nicely with the flour mixture an then into the pot of hot oil. Muahahahahaha!!!!!




Oh, see the chao ta lookin' ones at the top left? That was the first batch. Cook a lil' longer than I should.


And this is my first mistake. Since I'm gonna sauteed it in butter I should not have fry them for about 5 minutes till golden brown, instead 2 to 3 mins would suffice. Prawn will get hard if overcooked.

After frying the prawns, I put in about 2 and a half spoonful of butter in a heated wok. Second mistake, a lil' too much butter. In goes the chopped chilli, garlic and curry leaves. Finally ion goes the prawns when the aroma of the garlic, chilli and curry start to rise.




The final product

Well due to Mistake Number One, the prawns is a lil' hard and the excess butter kinda overshadow the subtle taste of the curry. Overall taste kinda ok according to my lab subjects parents but just too much butter.

The second Dish that I made is soup. To be more specific, soup which I had once at Maju Camp. It's like Shark Fin soup but without the shark fin.

Again this is an experiment cause I don't have the recipe. So I use chicken stock as the soup base. Bring it to a boil and add in vermicelli and diced chicken boobs....mean breast. Then slowly add in the egg whites, yes the same egg white, don't waste food. Lastly add in corn starch mixture to thicken it.








The soup turn out better than I expected. Next time I just need to increase the amount of vermicelli and diced chicken and reduce the chicken stock to 4 cubes.

But the true result will be tomorrow. See if anyone took MC for diarrhoea. XD

On another note, I receive my package from YesAsia. Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu Limited Edition Vol 3 (R1)

The box was a lil' squashed...heart pain but since the damage isn't that bad, I'm not gonna make a big issue over it. Beside I don't know if the damage was done by YesAsia's staff or SingPost or some other entity which might have taken interest in my package.




On to the goodies.




Well other than the iron on and pencil board which I have received since Vol 1, I also receive a pillow case.




Now that is a drool worthy image

Vol 4 can be pre-ordered at Amazon already, I wonder what's keeping YesAsia...

As for gaming, been pretty busy with my console game that I've been ignoring GE. I've just finish .Hack//G.U storyline last Saturday, of course I haven't totally complete all the sub-quests but I gonna put it aside for now so I can concentrate on finishing Enchant Arm. Of course with Rachet and Clank and Assassin's Creed coming out this month and next respectively, I wonder if I will ever find the time to start grinding in GE again. My character is getting way behind compare to Kaka's, lex's, Yat's and the rest. Not to mention I've totally neglect my GE In Memoriam project. Heh not to mention that I've been procrastinating on creating a new resume.

Aight that's all for now.
Bye-bee!!

P.S: Driving still sucks....having to struggle just to remain in control of the car feel so alien after getting so use to riding a bike.

P.S.S: AAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!! Stock take on 27/10 and 28/10 T_T
