Cooking Diaries : Chic Wings Yo!!!

The last time we ordered delivery food was 24th July. Quite a feat, actually. 😊 And we are feeling a little proud of ourselves. Not only are we saving money, Jad is learning some new cooking tricks and tips.

His interest in cutting things up is slightly scary. At the store the other day, we were trying to buy a knife sharpener (because I was struggling so much with cutting meat. My knife was so blunt, I had trouble with onion, man). It was necessary because I bled so much from a cut to my pinky. Gives us a new understanding to 'blood in the water'.

I am OK.  Scary. But it was a surface level injury due to over-excerssion and impatience. NEVER do that, people. 

Rushing people into making Michelin Star dishes in front of CROWDS is not a good idea. That's not cooking. That's just stress + danger. 

But anyway, I am not a Producer of shows. 

Best Air-Fried Chicken Wings for me 😍
Basic marinade were garlic powder, onion powder, coriander powder, fennel powder, paprika, and pepper. Mix in liquid marinade which are soy sauce, oyster sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and oil.

Dry off the wings. Toss in marinade. Massage. Refrigerate for 20mins to 24 hours.

Parchment sheets are not required but there's gonna be a lot of scrubbing at the end of cooking. I hate scrubbing when I don't use them. So, I obediently used the parchment papers which were generously oiled up. 

I cooked the meaty parts for 20 mins at 180dg; turned to the other side foe 25 mins at 200dg.

For the more Boney wing parts, it was for a shorter time, like 15 mins on each side.

At the end of the day, good dinner.

A Liberating Activity - Guess What Mine Is....

When asked what’s my one single favorite thing to do in the world, I would usually name a whole list of things that I love to do when my work is not screaming at me. Something that takes my mind COMPLETELY off of everyday tasks and relaxes me. Take a guess what it is…. If you say ‘ reading ’, yes, I love reading (especially soppy love stories with lots of sex scenes, please. Hee hee hee ….) and I also love mystery novels but it’s not the first on the list. If you say ‘ playing the piano ’; yes, I love playing the piano. Creating forms a huge part of my life and whenever I play the piano (as inept at it as I am), there’s this tiny little girl inside of me jumping up and down with glee, clapping her hands. It’s my childhood dream to be able to play the piano! And thumping on the keys gives me a sense of satisfaction when I hear the music. If you say ‘ writing ’; You’ve got to be kidding me! You mean I don’t write enough as it is? Case closed. If you say ‘ playing with my kids ’; Yea...

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 crim...

Demanding a Balanced Lifestyle

We live in a world choked with demands….demand for more money, better lifestyle, more holidays, smarter kids, bigger house, posher cars….etc. People walk around with spiritually unimportant goals in their minds driven by the need to succeed and be better than others around them. Hong Kong. South Korea. Japan. Most Asian countries suffer from this ill-fate which have caused a horrific rise in the number of suicide rates in the said countries. Malaysia is no exception as well although we’re very slowly gaining ground on our neighbors. Just picking up my son from school can become a stressful affair. I’ve mentioned this to a few friends of mine over the phone and all of them cluck their tongue shake their head. It’s end of the year and the kids are getting their test results back by now. I overheard a couple of tai-tais (housewives) gripe about their kids’ results. Mom: I don’t know-lah. My kid did not do very well this term. The best also got 95 only. (NINETY FIVE ONLY???) ...
