Chicken On Top

It's been a long time since I have blogged about things I cook. Like I always say, there are very few excuses for people to eat out too often. Things can be simple, so simplify. I bought some chicken breasts from the market without really knowing what to do with them. I remember I bought a bottle of char siew sauce some time back. I know you are supposed to use char siew sauce on pork, but there is no rule saying that you can't use char siew sauce on chicken...or fish....or prawn....or cuttlefish....so.... =)

I marinated the chicken breasts with char siew sauce, oyster sauce, pepper, spring onion and some minced garlic. I bought some Eringii mushrooms earlier. They are kinda like longish kind of mushroom...not very pleasing to the eyesight, to be honest but then again....I tend to have a dirty kind of mind so... ^^


I sliced them up and lined them up in the baking tray after oiling the tray up a little. Kind of pointless, anyway but I oiled them just in case. Just a little bit.


Then I placed the marinated chicken breasts on top...


And then popped them into the oven after adding a teensy weensy bit of water, made some rice and soup....there you have it! Dinner! And it was yummy, by the way. I wouldn't post stuff that sucked.


For those of you who are working, you can marinade the chicken and then put it into the oven before heading off for work. And then when you get home, just take it out, wait for it to warm a little till just about room temperature and then pop it into the oven.

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...

At Camp 5, 1 Utama: Kids' Rescue Mission

The kids had a wonderfully exciting day today. Now, this is as extreme as this mother is going to get. Mommy goes Paintball, kids go mountain-climbing...I think I've fulfilled the criteria of offering my kids a fun and exciting life as a kid. :-) It was one of their friends' birthday party and they're a little bored of KidzSports...that's for BABIES, anyway, they say. So, off to Camp 5 then, says the birthday boy's mother. Camp 5 in 1 Utama is located near Neways Karaoke, for those who have never been there before. It's a neat little corner tucked up on the roof of the massive shopping complex. Anyway, the kids had tons of fun although a little apprhensive when they saw how high the 'rock' was. It's actually quite neat and if I didn't feel like throwing up whenever up on higher grounds, I would have wanted to try it as well. The highlight of this party came in the form of a rescue mission. As we all know, when one is frighte...

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???) ...
