Eating out in Ajisen: Love Jap food

Believe it or not, I am not an 'eat out' person...especially not with my kids. I know. I'm just a dumb mom but I always believe good eating habits starts at home and I want them to know what they are eating. Most importantly, I want to know what I am putting into them!

I like spaghetti and the likes but Asian food tend to tickle my fancy more. For instance, I love Korean food (and have this unexplainable love for Korean version kimchi) and I also love Japanese food because I believe they eat a lot of healthy food. Minus the Ajinomoto, of course.

One of my personal favorite places is Ajisen where they sell some of the most mouth-watering Jap noodle soup.

The menu? :-)

Restless Jared finds ways to entertain himself or RELAK (relax) while waiting for the food that we have ordered to arrive

I want ALL OF THESE!! Yeah...sure. Over my ice-cold dead body....

Jared finds yet ANOTHER way to entertain himself while waiting for food. Slip the straw over the hole in the middle of the ice and watch as the ice melts. Hee hee hee....

Maid Side-Kick

I was kind of a little sad when I read the news about this - there will be no live-in Indonesian maids in Malaysia anymore.

There are pros and cons to having a live-in maid, as with everything else, but for us, we enjoyed more pros than cons. Back then, when my kids were little, we brought in a family of maids to help with...well, just about everything, and we were like two families merged into one. They ate what we ate, we sleep, they sleep, we shop, they shop, they joke, we laugh, we joke, they laugh...for me, the maid I hired was more like a sister and side-kick to me.

For that few years, I was dependent on her to mind-read my schedule and when I need or don't need help. She picked things up quickly and we ended up having lots of moments whereby we were in sync. Today, two of them are on my Facebook and we were gleefully chatting over Facebook Messenger since they've just discovered the wonders of the Internet and Social Media.

Since we were more like partners in crime, I f…

Grilled Salmon With Unagi Sauce

I always disagree with people who say that they are lazy to cook, it's too hard, no time, too difficult, easier to eat out....etc. I can't agree because I have found multiple ways to cook simple, cheap meals without causing too much of a ruckus to my schedule. All it takes is a little bit of planning ahead and research. And a sense of humor when it turns out...to put it nicely...sucks.

Anyway, here's one simple one that ANYONE (kids included) can cook up. Seriously simple and easy.

I love salmon but my kids don't like the smell and texture. But that doesn't mean that I can't go out to the market and spend RM11 on ONE single piece of salmon fish and make MYSELF one, right? Kids can have the overnight pizza. :-)
This is fresh from the market....man oh man! I LOVE IT!!
Wash it properly, de-bone the thing if you want to but I just left everything the way it is and just covered the fish with some of the following:-

Yup, salt, pepper and McCormick's season-all powder…

He's sex. Pure sex. And love, of course.
