NAAB RESTAURANT

2006-12-25T18:43:00.000-08:00

NAEB RESTAURANT

Hubby decided to treat his two aunties an Iranian food since they loves Arabic food. So we went to Naab Restaurant on 24th December 2006.

We had Dolma as appetizer. Dolma is a combination of ground meat, herbs and split peas stuffed in grapevine leaves. Unfortunately they don't really like Dolma including me (except hubby) because of its sourish taste.

Then we had lamb shanks, an exotic persian dish amde of fine cuts of lamb shanks.

The lamb shanks is served with dill rice. We also had barberry rice. Barberry rice is a Persian style rice including barberry and pistachio stripes with saffron.

This is Dill Rice. Actually the rice is green color but when I took the picture, due to the lighting effect, the rice look yellow color in the picture. We had our first taste of Dill rice when we went to Mecca to performed our Umrah in 2004. We are flying by Iran Airlines and they served us Dill Rice and Barberry Rice in the aircraft. I don't really like the taste back then, because of its strong taste of herbs. However, the one served by Iran Airlines were rich in flavor and they have a lot of pistachios and saffron in the rice.

The above picture is a buttered rice served with lamb koobide kebab.

Cheese Fruit Cake

Cheese Fruit Cake Bebop

Resepi ni dapat dari mana lagi kalau tak 'Resepi Diana' blog. I have tried the recipe and hubby said the cake was good. Unfortunately, I don't really like the taste of the cake because I think the cake is a bit dry. Maybe I bake the cake too long. A few of my friend said that the cake was good. Anyway this is the recipe of the cake :

170 gm buah - buahan campuran
2 sudu besar jus oren

- buah buahan campuran digaul rata dgn jus oren dan diperap selama 2 jam

70 gm mentega
70 gm cream cheese
70 gm gula perang
2 biji telur
1 sudu kecil pes lemon
80 gm tepung gamdum
1/2 sudu kecil baking powder

Pukul mentega, cream cheese dan gula hingga kembang. Masukkan telur dan pes lemon. Pukul sebentar. Masukkan tepung gandum dan baking powder berselang seli dgn campuran buah yang telah diperap. Tuangkan adunan dalam loyang dan bakar pada suhu 170 darjah celcius selama 45 minit.

Comment : Definitely will try again to make the cake perfect

Al Diafah Restaurant

2006-10-03T23:10:00.000-07:00

On my birthday ( 29th September 2006 ), hubby took me to Al Diafah Restaurant for breaking fast. The food was great. We ordered Mandy Chicken with Al Diafa Rice, Vegetable Soup, Kabsa Lamb and hubby had his favourite drink, traditional Arabic Coffee or Ghawar ( not sure the spelling ). I don't really like the Ghawar because of its taste. We had our first taste of Ghawar in 2002 in Mecca. During fasting month, they usually serves Ghawar in Masjidil Haram for breaking fast. The taste is a bit spicy. We also had hummus ( made from chickpea) but I did not managed to take the photo as hubby had finished it when I came back from my prayer.

Address : No 43 & 45, Jalan Radin Anum, Seri Petaling, Kuala Lumpur
Tel No : 03-90596237

The dining place is at first floor. The owner of the restaurant is from Jeddah. They also have buffet dinner which is cost at RM45++ per person . As it is a fasting month and I don't think we can eat that much, we opt to have ala carte instead.

This is the vegetable soup. Inside they have cut onion, tomato and fish fillet. I am not sure why it is called vegetable soup when they have fish fillet inside the soup, but the soup was good.

Mandy Chicken with Al Diafa Rice. This is something like beryani but they called it Al Diafa Rice.

Kabsa Lamb served with rice.

Sup Tulang

2006-09-11T00:55:00.000-07:00

Sup tulang ni resepi dari MIL me. Hubby suka sup masak macam ni. Dia tak suka pakai sup bonjot. Nasib baiklah cara ni senang dan sedap

Sup Tulang
1 sudu besar jintan manis
1 sudu besar jintan putih
1 sudu besar ketumbar
1 sudu besar lada hitam ( kalau suka pedas bolehlah letak banyak sikit )
6 - 7 ulas bawang merah
2 - 3 ulas bawang putih
halia

Tulang direbus sehingga empuk. Setelah dagingnya empuk, masukkan ke dalam air rebusan yang berisi tulang itu bahan bahan diatas yang telah di blend sehingga halus. Kalau suka bolehlah masukkan kentang dan lobak. Setelah masak taburkan daun bawang dan daun saderi

Tempe Goreng

Dulu mak me kalau masak tempe goreng resepinya dia gaulkan tempe tu dengan cili giling, kunyit, bawang putih, garam dan asam jawa tapi me malas nak tumbuk bahan bahan tu semua jadi me ambil kerja senang, me cuma gaulkan kunyit tu dengan kunyit basah dan cili mesin sebab benda tu semua memang dah ada dalam fridge. Me memang tak pernah guna serbuk kunyit sebab rasanya kurang sedap dan bila goreng, dia akan jadi kering. Jadi biasanya me akan beli kunyit banyak banyak, tumbuk dan simpan dalam fridge. Jadi bila nak pakai senang.

In Memory of My Mother

2006-09-11T00:36:00.000-07:00

Dah lama me tak masak. Dah sebulan lebih dah. Yalah hubby pun dah lama outstation so nak masak pun tak guna juga, tak ada siapa nak makan. Me rasa macam nak termuntah asyik makan kat kedai je. So hari Sabtu lepas, lepas Subuh me ajak hubby pergi pasar. Dah lama tak ke pasar so bila pergi ke pasar rasa macam semua benda nak masak. Last nya me masak sambal sotong, sup tulang dengan tempe goreng. Ingatkan nak buat pergedil tapi hubby pulak terasa nak makan tempe goreng. The sambal sotong that I cook reminds me of my late mother. She is a good cook and nobody can cook sambal tumis like she does. Other than sambal, she also makes a nice nasi lemak, cucur udang, popiah basah and asam pedas ikan pari. During that time, we can't afford to have blender and all the sophisticated cooking gadgets so she used batu giling instead of blender and other conventional cooking utensils which I don't remember the names. It is a waste because I did not managed to learn her cooking skills. I was only 15 when she passed away. Well, mak you are always in my mind and my heart. I miss you a lot.

Sambal Sotong
5 - 6 ulas bawang merah
1 - 2 ulas bawang putih
cili giling
asam jawa
sotong
sedikit belacan
garam secukup rasa
gula secukup rasa

Tumis bawang merah, bawang putih dan belacan yang telah ditumbuk halus. Setelah garing, masukkan cili kering yang telah di mesin. Taburkan sedikit gula. Gula ni sebagai pengganti kepada ajinomoto dan juga supaya cili cepat garing. Setelah cili garing masukkan sotong. Agak agak sotong dah separuh masak, perahkan sedikit air asam jawa dan bubuh garam. Lepas tu boleh makan. Kalau suka, bolehlah letak bawang besar yang dihiris bulat bulat

Pasta Goreng

2006-09-10T20:57:00.000-07:00

Pasta Goreng
Semalam me malas nak masak nasi. Asyik nasi aja lagipun sejak kebelakangan ni hubby makan sikit aja sebab work stress. Jadi me buatlah pasta goreng for dinner. Pasta goreng ni memang favourite hubby tapi me tak suka sebab tak pedas. Me kalau makan tak sah kalau tak pedas.
Pasta Goreng

1 paket pasta
button mushroom
carrot - hiris nipis nipis
cili hidup - dihiris
bawang goreng - tumbuk halus
halia - tumbuk halus
bawang merah - tumbuk halus
bawang putih - tumbuk halus
serbuk kurma
mince meat

Tumis bawang merah, bawang putih dan halia hingga garing. Masukkan serbuk kurma. Tumis hingga garing. Dah garing, masukkan mince meat. Agak agak dah masak, masukkan carrot, button mushroom dan pasta. Last sekali masukkan bawang goreng dan cili . Bawang goreng lagi banyak lagi sedap

Dah penat masak, terus me tak selera makan. Last-last hantar kat rumah kakak me kat Kg. Pandan. Kalau tak siapa pulak yang nak habiskan sekuali pasta tu.

CHEESE CAKE

2006-09-10T20:41:00.000-07:00

I have decided to sell the cheese cake based on order. I am selling it at RM12 for one cheese cake. Since I have started to sell it, I will delete the recipe from my blog.

Ni lah rupa cheese cake yang dah siap bakar tu.

Ni pulak cheese cake yang dah dipotong untuk bawa ke office.

O'Briens Irish Sandwich

2006-09-06T23:19:00.000-07:00

After 2 weeks of having all sorts of curry, me and hubby decided to have a healthy brunch, so we had our favourite sandwich. The sandwich is damn good but a bit expensive. I had Combo Club Toastie which cost me RM12.95 and hubby had Salami and Cheese Toastie for RM11.90 but I like his sandwiches than mine.

Ini Combo Club Toastie. They used wholemeal bread and the fillings are tomato, turkey, turkey ham, coleslaw, cucumber, red onion and lettuce. The sandwich is served with chips. Yummy..

And this is Salami & Cheese Toastie. Not sure on the sauce that they use but the sandwich is good and taste better and cheaper than the Combo Club

Telok Tempoyak

2006-09-06T01:24:00.000-07:00

Teluk Tempoyak

Last week end me and hubby dinner kat Teluk Tempoyak. Teluk Tempoyak nie kat Pulau Pinang jugak. Memang menarik tempat dia. Betul betul kat tepi pantai. Kawasan perkampungan nelayan. Kita orang pergi makan seafood. Best nya. Nama restoran tu Restoran Sri Idaman. Selain restoran nie, owner nie jugak ada chalet kat situ bersebelahan dengan restoran tu. Okaylah chalet tu. Bolehlah. Yang me baca kat signboard dia tu, restoran ni famous for their kari kepala ikan and seafood. Hubby kata kadang kadang kat situ ada jual belangkas dengan belut tapi masa me pergi malam tu tak ada pulak nampak

Ini kepah goreng cili. Memang sedap. Rasanya ada macam curry sikit. Biasalah kan Pulau Pinang tak boleh dipisahkan dengan kari. Me bagi 5 star rating untuk kepah nie.

Yang nie pulak sotong goreng tepung. Rangupnya sotong goreng tepung nie. Cicah dengan cili sos ala thai. Memang sedap. Lain dari yang kat Melaka tu tapi biasalah kan tepung nya lebih banyak dari sotong. Nampak je banyak sebenarnya tepung goreng yang lebih.

Yang ni pulak ketam bakar. Memang besar ketam tu. Berat yang atas nie 700gm. Harganya RM40 per kg. Nama ketam nie ketam nipah. Tak pernah me jumpa ketam sebesar nie. Tapi kuah cecah nya kurang sikit. Biasalah me ni kuat pedas dan dah biasa style macam kat Melaka tu kuah cicah kicap. Yang kat sini kuah cicahnya masam dan ada rasa belacan yang sangat kuat. Kuah cicah nya tu dibuat dari perahan asam limau,letak bawang dan belacan.

Ni hubby tengah angkat ketam nipah tu. Ni yang belum masak lagi tapi masih hidup.

Tengok tu banyak tak kita orang makan untuk 2 orang. Bukan apa sebab masa pergi tu tengah lapar kan so mulalah perasaan tamak haloba tu datang. Rasa macam tak cukup je. Bila dah sampai, mak oii ketat perut me. Mencungap betul. Ini bukan makan ni tapi dah melantak namanya. Selain daripada sotong goreng tepung, ketam bakar dgn kepah cili kita orang order tomyam udang, kailan goreng dengan telur dadar and being a typical Malay, we also ordered 2 plate of rice. Mana tak mencungap. Tapi tomyang udang dia memang murah sebab for RM5, isinya cuma udang semata. Banyak pulak tu udang nya. Memang sedap tomyam tu. Recommended lah.

Capati Arang

2006-09-05T22:54:00.000-07:00

Hah, stall ni pulak dekat dengan Restoran Tajuddin Hussain tapi dia jual malam aje. Cepat habis capati nie. Selepas pukul 10 malam biasanya dah habis. Rasanya kat Penang je yang me pernah nampak orang masak capati, lepas tu bakar kat atas arang. A bit kering tapi okaylah. Dekat tepi tu ada satu restoran Sultania kalau tak silap, so kita orang makan capati nie dengan kambing cencang dan ayam cincang. Definitely masak curry style. Ayam cincang dia memang sedap tapi me rasa me tahu kenapa ayam cincang dia sedap sebab masa makan tu me jumpa bulu dalam ayam cincang tu. Bukan bulu ayam sebab bulu tu hitam dan pendek sikit. Tak le sependek bulu hidung. Panjang sikitlah..( nak sedapkan hati) so me assume mungkin bulu tangan kot sebab mamak kan banyak bulu.Sedap punya pasal, me ambil bulu tu, buang dan terus makan. Memang sedap. Patutlah masa nak order tu, mamak tu beria suruh kita orang order ayam cincang tu. Dia kata kat kedai dia ni famous for the ayam cincang. Mat salleh pun ada makan kat sini. Steady je tengok dia makan walaupun boleh tahan pedas lah jugak...hai me puasa lak hari ni..terasa rasa ayam cincang tu..Dugaannnn ..

Jeng..jeng..jeng nilah capati arang yang me cerita. Kat tepi tue dah kena makan sikit sebab tak tahan tengok capati nie. Very traditional..yalah mana ada orang masak guna arang lagikan zaman sekarang ni

Inilah ayam cincang kari a.k.a ayam cincang kari berbulu.

Restoran Tajuddin Hussain

2006-09-05T22:40:00.000-07:00

Today I will write about Restoran Tajuddin Hussin. The shop is located at Queen Street, Pulau Pinang. Yes, Pulau Pinang is food heaven. Hubby went there for his training for 2 weeks and basically every week end, I will go to PP to visit hubby and take the opportunity to explore the infamous nasi kandar. Well, I'm a curry lover..jadi dah kat Penang , setiap hari nak kena kari sebab kari kat sini kaw giler..Restoran ni famous for his ayam ros and kari kambing. Memang sedap. Ini kali kedua kita orang kesana dan setiap kali tue mesti nak order benda yang sama i.e ayam ros, kaki kambing and hubby call it 'ikan kecik'. Kaki kambing tu tak sah kalau tak order dua pinggan. Selain dari ayam ros kat sini ada jugak dijual ayam piru, burung, otak kambing dan segalanyalah..Ayam piru tu ayam belanda tapi orang Penang panggil piru. Kat sinilah first time me makan kaki kambing. Terangkat.

Jom Makan

2006-09-05T21:44:00.000-07:00

Hello there, this is my first entry of this blog. Tak tahu nak mula macam mana. Anyway, the idea to start this food journal came from my dear hubby. Kita orang berdua memang suka explore tempat tempat makan yang baru especially middle east or arabic food because we both love lamb very much. Pasal nama makanan Arab nie pelik pelik sikit, jadi kami selalu lupa whether we have try the food or not so hubby suggested that we start our food journal. Tapi, this food journal will not restricted to middle east food only. It will be on anything..Till then
