Fried Rice Version 2

I cooked dinner!! Muahaha.
Mom and dad weren't around for the weekend. They packed their bags, left the country and ran away from us, leaving the three of us to fend for ourselves. Lol!
 
So, I decided to put my cooking skills to the test.
(Partly because I was tired of eating out.)
Head knowledge and skills..
 
And this is what I came up with...
 
Voila!


Kath's seemingly burnt fried rice.
 


Fried rice.
Not your typical fried rice... because I used brown and red rice instead of white rice. So it looks kinda dark....
 
As I was eating this dish, I realized the mistakes that were made.
 
No.1: Too much water was used to boil the rice, thus it was very lumpy and hard to break apart in the kuali.
No. 2: I wanted crunchy ikan billis to munch on. I should have taken them out after getting enough of its flavour into the oil. Instead, I continued frying it with the rest of the ingredients and my delectable snack became soggy. Sigh.
No. 3: Do you see the egg pieces? No right? Yea, I used too little egg. One for 3 people. *facepalm* Kiam. Heheh.
No. 4: I overestimated our appetite. Too much rice was boiled, more than enough for the 3 of us. Extras went to our dog, Holly. Hahahahah. No onions, so it's safe. My cooking literally went to our dog.

Ingredients:
Garlic
Mixed vegetables
Ikan bilis
Prawns
Rice
Egg (beaten)
Oil

No salt is needed because all the saltiness comes from the ikan bilis itself. Great huh?
I forgot onions though. Onions will make the dish taste sweeter.

Verdict: My sisters enjoyed it. I hope they weren't being biased. But judging from the way they were eating, yes, it must have been good.

Score....!

To Mr. KT

This post is written in honour of (no, scratch that), is written with the objective to give someone a piece of my mind. (Want my cerebrum or medulla oblongata?) Firstly, this person complained that I did not update my blog often enough. Then he said, "Kenny Sia updates everyday." Yeah right, it's not everyday la Tai Kor! And why compare me to him? I'm so tiny and puny in the blogsphere. Heh. Anyway, I'm super busy and super tired and has had no inspiration whatsoever to blog about anything till today. (Thanks to somebody...) Before I go into the second part, for all those who have yet to hear about it, (it's been publicized in her FB), my sister, Eileen is now formally engaged to her sweetheart of six, seven years. Congrats to my dear dear sister. Finally, eh? Hahah. The second part is related to this. Not referring to my sis, but me. Our good friend who complained that I don't update often, had the gall/balls (Grr...) to 'insult' me. When I sh...

Of Vampires and Werewolves

I've never really been an ardent fan of the Twilight series(boo...says you). And I have no idea why some girls go gaga over Edward the vampire. He looks so paste-y with the bloodshot eyes (yea yea he's supposed to look that way). And bleah! I think he looked way hotter in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire as Cedric Diggory . That, I can go gaga. But in Twilight??? The romance between Edward and Bella is fine. Romantic, mushy and cliched. Heh. But there's nothing much for me to shout about. (Sorry to the ardent fans, esp to my three sisters. Ha.) This year, the next sequel in this series is about to be released tentatively in November. Known as New Moon , the title is definitely appropriate since the werewolves play a bigger role this time. I didn't read any of the books in the Twilight series though my sisters finished the whole lot of it. So there's no doubt I have no idea of what's going on in the next book. But judging from this trailer of the next sequ...

My Future???

After thinking for a while, (ok, not a while but many whiles) I have finally decided what to do after I graduate (hopefully) in May this year. I have narrowed it down to two options. Sigh. Either I continue my studies and proceed wtih Masters (God, help me..) or I apply for this work and travel thing to US for six months. Will see how it goes... see which comes first. If it's the latter, I'd most probably miss my Convocation. If the former is first, the latter will no longer be on my list. We'll see we'll see. :) P/S: Applying for masters has nothing to do with what the government has allocated to help the economy.
