SSSSS - Sambal Sweet & Sour Squid Savoury

I'm still on a vacation leave... And this is what I'm cooking today! I call it the Sambal Sweet & Sour Squid Savoury! I just don't know what to call this dish. It's not a normal Sambal that we cook. It has the taste of Assam the sweetness from the Brown Sugar and the spiciness from the Dried Chillies. Something that I seldom cook but hey! It's nice to eat with a French loaf or steam hot rice! Here's the recipe like:

Ingredients:

Item A:
30 pieces of Dried chillies to remove the seed and to cut thinly. Next to boil for 5-10 mins.
2 Red Onion
2 Cloves of Garlic
2 Tablespoon of Shrimp Paste (Belacan)

Item B:
300ml of Tamarind Juice
2 Tablespoon of Brown Sugar
1tsp of Salt

Item C:
3 Big Squids to cut in medium size as in my photos.

Item D:
One Red Onion to be sliced thinly.


Direction:
1. To mortar all Item A and leave it aside.
2. Heat the Pan with 2 Tablespoon of Oil. Once heated add in Item D, and cook until it become Golden.
3. Add in Item A and sauté for 5-8 mins.
4. Add in Item B and leave it for 5 mins.
5. Lastly, add in Item C and cook for another 5 mins. Voila!!!

Our Italian Siesta

With husband away for retreat with all his mates, kids holidaying at Mom's house, left me, my helper and my little Elhan at home.

We had an Italian Siesta which has been planned week ago together with my 2 good friends, Nani and Emma (which I like to call her Temah) kind of legend name. Unfortunately Nani couldn't make it as her Mom fell sick so left with Emma.

We had so much food all by ourselves. Dish after dish and all are home cook. Here are some snippets of the foo that we'd savored!

Bellissimo Mammamia!

My Virgin Mobile Entry

This is interesting! Back on 2000-2006 there's no such thing as Blogger Apps.
And I'm surprised with nowadays technology! You can see how things can be uploaded in one clap!

Back than, I remembered when my gist start to flow out, I have to rush and find for a PC or Laptop to gush out all the gists. But now, I don't have to rush.. With IPhone now, I can easily update my daily journal about food.

Anyway, The Mak-Fly family had a great dinner over 'sembang-sembang' session at Herry & Zue's place. We are so delighted with the western food served for us and not forgetting the great hospitality! ;) we did snip one photo thou! Hehehehehe
