nabeyaki udon 鍋焼きうどん

Nabeyaki udon is one of my favourite japanese noodles. I first had it at Kampachi, Equatorial Melaka Hotel. Since i had those mini claypots, why not make my own :-)

important step is to make a dashi (stock)


also get a leek taller than you :)


spinach...


cut the leeks


since we don't have kamaboko, have to use normal fish cake...


eggs are a must ;-)


udon of course ^_^


some meat...


mushrooms


get the pots ready...


Big pot for Big D, as usual...


Xtra Xtra Big!!


this is mine ;)


looks like a mountain...


remember to add chili fakes to make the dish more interesting :-) when we eat out, this comes with a big prawns tempura but i dunno how to make tempura :(

the doomed apples

A few weeks ago, mummy had bought a basket of rose apples from the pasar malam cos they were really red & pretty. Mana tau they were not only not sweet but were powdery as well... then one fine day, we realised we still had those apples so we decided to make them into Strussel Topped Apple Pie.


looks like potato chips


seasoned potato chips


someone, who looks like mummy but IS NOT mummy, curi makan!!!


she's got a sneeze coming....


ahhhh-chooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!


and that's the secret ingredient we put into ALL our signature pies :)


empty trays...


cut of your fingers & coat them in flour ^_^


finger flavoured pastry :)


throw all the apples into it..


curi makan again.... =_=


top with the strussel... however, we ran out of brown sugar & big D asked us to use NORMAL sugar


hansel & grathel


o no.... shouldn't listen to Big D...


it was all ok, except the strussel part :(


Guess what?? the pie is still sitting in the fridge where the apples used to be!!! haha!!!

Sing a song of 10 ringgit a basket of rose apples,
The apples didn't taste nice & were baked in 2 pies.
When the pie was baked finished nobody wannna eat,
Oh wasn't that a total waste in the very first place?

green tea pudding

for quite a long time now i've been keeping my matcha powder stashed away in a lonely dark corner with my chocolate powder... then suddenly, i wanted to eat green tea pudding :-)

matcha powder


water & gelatin, boil it with sugar too


let it set


it's now set, i scooped up a bit of the sides to make sure :)


ice cream is a MUST!


MORE MORE MORE!!!! mwahahahah!!!


mush mash splat!


the more u mix, the yummier it gets ;-) mummy don't like it though cos she's not a green tea person, she likes the unhealthy stuff, like u toffee, butterscoth, chocolate & diabetic causing desserts! hahahaha!!! anyway, this was just a try cos i've never made it before. it turned out great! make more when 38 comes home :-)
