Got a lil jam when getting into Msia...at 737pm so that papa can avoid the news where his piggy face appeared. Steakii found out that Xiao Jing Teng is jam, so i'm now called kaya steakii. With my lil brudddddder named butter.

we reached just before 10, and steakii was starving and gobbled up the peanuts.

We check out of the hotel and hunt for foodie! So we decided to go to brinchang to find the wanton mee that mama and papa first ate during their first time there! poor steakii never go the first time!
Steakii drinkg Milk-Tea cos no milk so must get the milk from the tea
papa ate the wanton mee and mama ate the chicken mee. the both of them must be hungry because they finsh everyyhing so fast so tat they can go to the boh plantation which was closed on monday - dumbasses!

papa decide to pay RM17 to wash moo-moo throughly incluyding vacuuming the insides after neglecting it for 2 months and even make it go up mt brinchang. poor moo-moo!

we had sconie before leaving tanah ratah cos the two gluttons miss the sconie there! yum yum
In the end, papa and mama go to cameron valley tea plantaion to buy tea instead!
I dunno what mama is taking on our way down the moutain! But I think mama taking pictures of foodie cos that is what her glutton brain always thinks about
Dinner at one of the rest stop! dunno what stop already but it's ok! Cos got yummy foodie too for steakii to eat.
Nice sunset!!!!

Hiyo everybody...its me Steakii again bouncing over the keyboard!!

Papa & Mama haven been cooking foodie since my last update. Mama did her eyes so she cant see shit, and papa pohposed, so they always go out and eat and settle thingy for 0101.

Anyway damsel invited us to her birthday chalet at Pasir Ris, and other than foodie, the two gluttons din take any other photos.

Chicky were marinated by papa, and they were grilled to perfection , soft and tender, yet cooked! Even the ends were cooked. This is the first time mama said she likes own DIY BBQ chicky wing because all parts were cooked. Unlike the stove top grill, a charcoal grill seems to bring out flavours better....and papa suffered from the ill effects of the smoke coz got big pimples! They also did butter /sambal prawns, yummy teriyaki sotongs (no pic sobz) and mama very xi xin cut up all the sausage, sotong ball and chicky wings so that the 2 gluttons can easier eat in front of the tv.
This cheesiecake is for damsie birthday and orchestrated by mama n steakii!! Steakii bounce bounce all over the oreo biskie to make into crust and top. Papa didn't buy enough oreo because mama didnt give precise instructions, so we ended up with a heart shaped top. Even though we didnt use all cream cheese, it still tasted quite cheesy! The cheesecake tasted like choco mousse (too gooey) and mama & papa had a shouting match on whose cake for damsie was better ( we did a tiramisu last yr for her) until steakii brought out foodie did they stopped. Hee.

Mama got her cheesiecake recipe from FP, where many people tried and suggested modifications...so here I present..."Bernice's Oreo cheesecake" (with suggested modifications by podders)

Ingredients
- 2 packet(250g each) Philadelphia Cream cheese [we replaced half of them with mascapornie cheese]
- 2 eggs [mehz& pudz one has no raw eggs]
- 1/2 butter block of 250g
- Sugar [we used 8 teaspoons coz our choco was unsweetened baking choc]
- Chocolate Chip
- 6 pcs Oreo biscuit
- 6 pcs digestive biscuit

First u have to do the Base (crust) of the cake:
1. Crush the digestive biscuits into bits -the smaller the better (to replace with oreo biscuit w/o cream to stick better)
2. Melt the 1/2 block of butter
3. Prepare a container (16cm )

4. Lay the biscuit bits onto the tray until it covers the entire tray, about 1 - 2 cm thick
5. Use a spoon and add bit by bit of melted butter onto the biscuit and press using the back of the spoon. Press hard for it to stick better *Amount to use depends on how well it sticks, normally around 10 teaspoons needed ( A better replacement of this method is to mix butter and biscuit before hand then lay into tray)
6. Make sure e crust is thick and cover fully so that u can cut the crust up in a piece

Next you have to do the filling part: *U need a mixer to beat the mix better
1. Beat up the 2 pack of cream cheese in a big bowl into cream like
2. Add in to eggs, 6 teaspoon of sugar and the rest of the butter (no don’t do this!! Will be too waterly, just 3-4 TEASPOONS of the leftover butter) and beat evenly
3. Melt chocolate chips or any other chocolate bar and add them into the mix if u like chocolatey taste!
4. Crush the Oreo cookies into small bits (not too small so that u can chew it =P) and add them into the mix
5. Beat the mix

Lastly:
1. Pour the ready mix onto the crust.
2. Press slightly to prevent air bubble
3. Sprinkle choc chip, disgestive biscuits or oreo bits if u like
4. Wrap the tray with plastic wrap and put into the fridge for around 4 hours and Serve!! [8 hrs for better effect] DO NOT FREEZE

Hiyo...its me again, Steakii the preeeeeetie cow! EEeeeeeEEEeee.

Today has no foodie in this post, but steakii is happie *bounce bounce*


Mama washed me the other day because we are going to.....



...South pole!!!Because steakii now has a god-cousin! The other day I went to visit her, all she does is zzzz or open her eyes to look at me. She doesnt move and she doesnt play toy with me. I kick her on the head and she still doesnt play toy with me. In the end I decided to just Zzzz with her on the beddie then. But my mama say she will grow up to grab me and eat me up as beef burger!


Soon, steakii can sleep with both papa & mama everyday (and of coz turtle!) and have 2 toys to play!! WHY? Coz I helpch papa ask mama to totter together for life with him. Asshole papa stuck the sticky thing on my head for 2 days! *kicks papa* But mama after saying "maserati"....and "asshole" (because of coke ring) ...also said yes!

Gravy too thick!! Noodle was fried just nice! but alas too much corn flour everywhere else. Pity.

We referenced two recipes....here and here.

Beef in red wine. Result: Beef too tough coz overcooked as we used sukiyaki slices instead of diced beef but yet stuck to the timing. We donno how much a red wine glass is, so it is too little in the end + we mistaken an apple in the fridge for a tomato, so we had one tomato less than what is needed. Else, actually not too bad a saucey.

The fried fish was burnt just nice, but no chilli smell on it. However the cheapos bought the $1/fish and turn out got the grassie smell in the fish. Are fishies vegetarian?


Damsie bought us deserts!! But damsie...raspberry ripple is majority vanilla! *pouts*

Who washed the dishy? Damsie, thanks!

New dishy from papa and mama! Mama fried black bean with bittergourd that was a bit salty and a bit raw but the gluttons, together with pretty damsie ate everything up. The gluttons also decided to play with the new grill and grilled some marinated chicken that was a bit too salty and not-that-cooked.
The steamed fishy was yum yyum with lots of spring onions and ginger! But too bad damsie dun really like fishie never eat alot and the glutton mama and papa eat and eat everything up!

ALLO! My name is steakii and i'm reporting from Geylang! Luckily I'm a cow so no uncle find me! My papa and mama come here because the glutton papa got craving for roast duckie rice and they decided to try their luck at this Tang Ji instead of going to 933 duckie rice to become carrots!
The duckie rice cost $3 dollars and comes with tender meat with crispy roasted duck skin. It was so yum-yum that papa finished all the duckie meat first! (the glutton mama also helped in finishing the duckie. ONly steakii not a glutton!)
Luckily steakii got no long neck or the glutton papa and mama will eat me up!
Tthey had pork trotters in vinegar which tasted exactly like how my grandma used to cook it. At least now I know how to literally have a taste of yesteryears.

My mama once told my papa that if she wants to go jalan kaya eat prata, the papa should drive her there! But only 1 sunnie after then did my paap finally drive my mama to eat at Jalan Kayu! But no prata the two gluttons eat, only indian rojak and a huge plate of mutton murtabak (see bottom)!

Today we invited damsie to have dinner with us. Mehmeh said that presentation must be nice, so puddy digged out 3 nice western food plates to use.

First off is the butter rice, a search on the internet shows not a lot of people cook this, so I just trusted one of the 2 recipe. I was wary about the amount of water, but it turned out quite fragrant and suitably textured . Though I would think it needs more butter, but lil lamb says it's just nice.

The veggies broccoli & corn (yes, always the less main dishy) were microwaved by puddy; Then the lil lamb read somewhere that when baking fish, having a bed of herbs underneath will prevent the fish from sticking to the pan and so he decides to do that to the frying pan by laying a bed onions for the salmon to lie on. It worked! The fish didn't stick. But the onion underneath did.

The chicky is as usual, tough. Next time must get drumsticks instead of the cheapo fillet which is so tough that kenna hiammie by the glutton puddy. Second time in a row she hiammed that the chicky is tough(first time was last week at igloo)! The marinate is also not quite there yet considering the chicky was only dunk in for an hour. But all in all, it's a yum yum and filling meal!

A lil teriyaki chicky sauce on the rice, and that completes this meal. (except for the soupie, which was very salty even though i followed the can instructions. Maybe cos it's expiring!)

Who washed the dishy? Damsie....thanks!!

Butter rice (http://www.grouprecipes.com/15628/butter-rice.html)

Make a guess where this picture was taken =p
The POOR papa had to prepare dinner while the mama slept after that hearty lunch! The meh meh cooked deep-fried chicken meat patty which took a horrible long time to prepare because you have to mince the chicken fillet together with spring onion, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, egg white, corn flour than steam it before you deep fry it.

The salt-pepper prawn was also tough to prepare because you have to clean the prawn, deep fry it and then stir-fry with spring onion, chili, garlic and ginger. When everything is done, generously add salt and pepper before serving.

The kai-lian was normal, using the juice from the steamed chicky to stir fry with ginger. The roast porky was contributed by puddy's papa and meh meh lightly toast the pork in the toaster to make the skin crispy!

Notice the steam eggy at the edge of the table? The puddy tried cooking steamy eggy again and this time, it is nice and soft. yum yum!

Who washed the dishy? Pudding. And she also mopped the floor.

The lucky steakii tagged along with us to the most expensive lunch meh meh have ever eaten!

The mama ordered lime juice while mehmeh had a thai iced tea ($3 and $4 dollars respectively)
The $15 dollars phai tai that can actually feed two!
The red duck curry that has lots of yummy duck meat and veggies! ($18 dollars)
Stuffed chicken wings that cost $3 dollars each. Very very yummy with asparagus and dunno-what-else. Great with Chilli! We also ordered a curry long beans with prawn that is good, but nothing to shout about, considering that it is long beans anyway.

The $6 dollars yummy mango rice that is the best meh meh have EVER eaten.

This little lunch exercise set the poor woolly lamb another $75 bucks poorer.

Princess was home alone so meh meh and puddy decided to cook at south pole and pei the princess! The meh meh steamed a pomfret with salted veggie and tomatoes, pan-fried chicky with BBQ sauce and dou-miao with oyster sauce. The puddy also steamed another eggy to perfeeect her eggy steaming skills.

Somehow the meh meh was still hungry after the dinner and started munching on whatever foodie he can find in the frige (like chocolate, nougat and strawberry yogurt drink!)

The naughty steakii stole the papa and mama alcohol drink of blackcurrent hooch later in the night!


Who washed the dishy? Princess

Mehmeh missed puddy and came to pick her up for a lunchie rendevous without the nottie steakii so we can have some 2-people-world time.


Not a lot of stalls are open at the hawker centre for lunchie in ECP. Every row has only 1, max 2 stalls open. So we thot since no one here, and should not be wait long, we eat the famous duckie rice. End up my mehmeh queued quite long...-_-

We duno if the uncle charged right a not...it was only $7.50 for the normal duck rice + stuff that we added.

This was the car that my mehmeh used to pick puddy. It looks like that, complete with the "Alfa 147" plate. Its a small car that can do both auto & manual and the best thing is, can raise the armrest and I can huggie the wooolly lamb. Hee

Puddy dump tomatoes, potatoes, porkie, carrots, radish and onions into the slow cooker to make nice yum yum soupie for me to drink! Then meh-meh decided to cook cream garlic prawn to make it a nice homely dinner for 2 gluttons and a steakii. The soup is pretty pretty sweet but the cream prawn was marred by the fact that the meh-meh used celery soup base for the prawn cream. No rice was being cooked as potatoes was the order for the day! (two, to be exact)Steakii, after coming back from her adventures in cameron, got a bath! Now, stop staring at her naked body!!!

Who washed the dishy? Mehz

I going with papa & mama to eat beef burger! Becoz papa has a $2 off set meal voucher from prettieeeee girl.

In the morning, papa forget to set the alarm and we never get up at 5.00am! And we slept until 6am and by the time we get to the car, we were already one hour late! The piggies!




















Steakii goes through johor and pass through Danga bay again! Got big cupbarn that mama always say she want!





















When we got to the NSH, papa drove the moo-moo into the mist and it looks so nice, like we were in the cloudy!




















The mama rush to the toilet! And then rush to buy Ramly chicky burger and steam corn to eat. That glutton!



















Moo-moo taking a break at Tapah, the base of Cameron highlands!
























Papa and mama bring me to Kumar Restoran to eat Tandoori chicken and chocolate milkshake. But I have to swish my tail and twitch my ear because flies are everywhere!



















Mama went to the KHM farm to eat strawberry ice cream and strawberry milkshake but dun have! Luckily clever steakii quickly took a bite off the strawberries when the owner was not looking! And papa was there looking at all the aunties!

























Because mama say no milkshake and strawberry ice-cream, my poor papa got to drive the mama to the big red strawberry farm to find for milkshake and strawberry ice-cream! That mama so glutton! Luckily Steakii know how to eat healthily and decide to munch on lettuce!



















See the strawberry milkshake and fried vanilla ice-cream that the gluttons eat! And on the way down, papa stepped into wet cement and left his woolly totter print on the slopes of the entrance to the strawberry farm. The poor papa have to use the $1 mineral water that he bought from Singapore the day before to wash his totters!




















After that, papa and mama bring me to the Cameron pasar malam and the gluttons shop and shop for dried strawberries! And the rain never stop the gluttons for buying their dinner there. The gluttons bought steam corn, steam sweet potato, fried mushroom,fried long bean, fried sotong, friend chicky bone, fried chicky liver, cheesy sausage and mushroom sausage to bring back to the hotel to eat!


Stay tuned for more of steakii adventures at Cameron! EeeeeEeeee

Load of photos coming up!!
Because steakii was lazy in sorting them until now! Part I is here.

A search on the tags in our bloggie has turned out evidence that of the 4 times that we tried to steam eggies, it is either too hard & too hard again, too soft, or half hard half soft.

As puddy is usually in charge of this dishy becauze it is considered as a very simple dishy (as compared to fried fishies), I can say that I feel like mei you lian jian ren that my lamb has gotten the fish correct yet for 4 times I failed to cook a steamed eggy. =(

Our next meal will have steamed eggy done by puddy...and it shall be perfect!

A search on google showed that for the steam eggies to turn out nice, with or without porkie inside is to...

1) add water/stock the same volume as the eggy, or for large eggs can try 100ml to one egg. (I have seen recipes with even more, so more water wont kill it!)
2) put it on the steam above simmering (not boiling) water, so that it will turn out without pockmarks
3) stick a knife thru the center ..and KILL IT! heee, no la, to see if it is still runny when deciding cooked already a not.

Other tips...usually 2-3 eggs to one teaspoon of soya sauce/salt + some pepper. if got porky can add it into the porky. Can add sesame oil to porky too. Usually is garnished with spring onions.

Stay tuned to see if I suceed a not. Well, if i don post soon...you know puddy is hiding under the beddie.

Today is the day. The day where meh meh successfully fried not one, but two fishy! meh meh also for the first time steamed chicky wings (1 tablespoon soy sauce, 2 tablespoon rice wine, dash of sugar and salt, ginger slices. dried mushrooms and wolfberry!) which is yummy~ We also cooked the-vegetable-that-I-can-never-learn-to-spell with oyster sauce in a rare 3 yummy dishy combo (usually one or two dishy is 难吃 one)

damsie visited cupboard and we decided to cook up a feast. And the menu for the night was - a 1/2 fried black promfret, black chicken, kan lan and 1/2 hard 1/2 soft eggy with porky. As usual, the puddy hiammed that the fishy not fried enough. But meh meh indigently said it was only his 4th try and should cover some slack.

And slack was what the meh meh got as damsie brought her special potions; Cola Bourbon and the meh meh decided to give the hyper active steakii some to see what happens.


Who washed the dishy?
Papa! And he also mopped the floor because the frying of the fish caused oil to splatter all over the kitchen. After that, meh meh was hiding under the bed

And then it happened. We were following the signs to "woodlands" and going on fine until there was a block by the traffic police to not let us into the road that is going woodlands. We followed a SG car infront to go by an alternative way.

Grandpa kept saying to go by 2nd link, by pointing at the signs. But papa was afraid of getting lost, as that same signs also point to KL. In the end we had to stop at the malaysian juice station to ask for directions. In the end we managed to find our way back to the alternative road thru...DANGA BAY! Heee, the place we got lost earlier.

When we finally got there......
We were stuck in the jam from 1030 pm all the way to 1am before we reached the JB customs. I didn't know they were also searching for the terrorist.

Papa was looking at a crazy guy drive so aggresively - a red plate chevrolet avon. He go so close so close to the car in front until his car touch the ass of the other car. And everytime he thinks the next line moves faster he will put his one wheel in and cut in.

Grandpa kept saying that malaysia cannot come one, will always jam, which made mama a bit irritated because just earlier he said friday nite no jam. "Everything also he say " she complained to papa later.

So steakii has now been to Kukup (click here for prev entry), and now Pengerrang! Overall mama think that Kukup has nicer foodie, cheaper and less time to drive there. However papa say Kukup has no lobsters!

By this time, i'm totally confused because the lamb can't make lamb-sense on the difference between a grill and a Teflon pan on a stove. But doesn't matter, we did what we can to come up with the delicious grilled salmon (by what definition do you call a salmon grilled is entirely up to you) and grilled prawns (which technically should be called toasted prawns as we used the toaster oven- you do not call your toast bread grilled bread right?). Puddy as usual hiammed on the tough prawn meat and complained sky high on why the lamb didn't take out the prawn when she said so.
Ah, grilled chicken! it looks yummier than it looks. It could have been better if the lamb had the chance to marinate the chicken more, like overnight.
The grilled mushrooms that puddy craved. The one fungus that caused puddy to demand that we have grilled dinner on the saturday. Erm, looks wierd, taste good and you just have to try it to believe me.
Sigh. I dun want to talk about the failed grilled eggplant. Don't laugh or i'll invoke the Steakii to pounce on you.
Er, microwave corn with butter. Shriveled corns from the microwave sucking up too much moisture. poor corns. But at least they don't go pop!

Puddy on a detox diet, so lil lamb so sweet wants to eat the same thingy as puddy. Actually potatoes are not really allowed, coz they will slow down gut movement, but i scared lil lamb hungry as he not feeling well, so decided to just go ahead. At least it is still a veggie.


So I microwaved 3 potatoes according to 4+3+3 mins, but turned out that the outer part of the potatoes were too dry, while the inside is still creamily yummy. Next time shall just add 2 mins for each additional potato.

Lil lamb grilled some shitake mushrooms (really tender and soft and juicy) and I'm still thinking about them. Even though the whole of last nite and this morning my tongue has this weird mushroom aftertaste, but it wouldnt deter me from eating them this way again! He also grilled some crunchy capsicums.



That's not all....we also had some cherry tomatoes. We tried putting some basil (basil is herb = veggie, should be can right?) on it and the bigger kinds of tomatoes to mimic those oven-baked tomatoes that u always see in those caterer's buffet.; but think it din turn out very well.

We finished off with some edamame, as usual.

It was quite a filling meal, but as there is no meat, my lil lamb kept trying to eat the totters off our beef burger (ie steakii)!

We have already decided to do about the same thingys on sunday, but with sauces, such as teriyaki on the mushroomies, grilled salmon /chicky...and everything unhealthy.

Makes puddy wonder, whats the point of detoxing when I'm going to return to my unhealthy excesses anyway =P

Who washed the dishy? Puddy!
