Food glorious food

I loooovvvvvvvveeeeeeeee food. Mama bulat says I only decline wood and rock .. i.e. tolak kayu dgn batu aje :) We think if someone cooks japanese slippers and serves it to me, I'd eat it! :P

I just had lunch/tea. My plate had yong-tau-fu, garlic bread and chicken liver. I know some of you would go .. uurrggghh .. chicken liver .. urrgghhh

Please remember I am chinese. My mother use to tell us.. Chinese people eat everything that flies, except aeroplanes.. everything that has four legs, except tables and chairs.. This is quite true.

But I sometimes ask myself: what are my favourite dishes? The first that comes in mind is lamb. I love lamb. Then there is hokkien noodles, sea-food @ Bagan Lalang, fajitas (especially lamb fajitas .. duh), spaghetti (must be BIG MEATBALLS). How about desert? My sister's meringue pie, ICE-CREAM, chocolate cake, cheese cake.

About a year ago, my boyfriend and I found a nasi padang (field rice .. he he) restaurant near the house. We usually go there for lunch, as the place is air-conditioned and the people are friendly. It also sells antique furniture. Our usual dishes there are ayam kalio, ikan asam pedas, salted fish, green long beans fried with chicken liver and deep fried chicken liver & gizzards. Yum-yum. It offers other delicacies such as deep fried kampung chicken, daisy-moo's tendon cooked in curry (tried it once and i vow never to try it again), grilled cat-fish, duck's egg cooked in coconut milk and turmeric, yam leaf with sambal belacan, ox tail soup with carrots and potatoes and also deserts such as sago in coconut milk and even fermanted tapioca.

On weekends when we're not working, we sometimes drive to Bagan Lalang (near Sg Pelek, Sepang) for seafood by the sea (not a very nice sea view, but in KL beggars cant be choosers) Our usual dishes are kerapu 3 rasa (garoupa cooked 3 flavours - sweet sour and chilied), pepahat (bamboo lala) cooked in egg, fried crab and squid cooked in sambal (chili). We dont order vegetable because all the dishes are cooked with celery and cauliflower. Its always worth the drive :)

What shall I eat tonight? I'm suppose to be on a diet, to skip or replace dinner with a protein drink. Fish, chicken and eggs are protein as well, right? ;)
