Shrimp Skewer with Salsa Sauce

Sometimes we don't have any idea what to cook and eat at home. Don't be..because I'm sure we all are have something inside our fridge or freezer to be cooked. Last night I was cleaning my freezer and I found shrimps that I bought last week. So I decided to do something with the shrimps and other ingredients from my fridge.

So here it is...Shrimps skewer with roasted potato and salsa sauce. Easy to make and yummy

Dinner at Newton Circus

Newton Circus? no..I'm not talking about real circus here. It's Newton Food Centre or also known as Newton Circus. It's one of the food/hawker centre in Spore. Most of them are seafoods and they also give good price. And for the drink, you can find many different choice from beer, teh tarik and even fresh coconut. nothing is very very expensive here. Don't imagine hotel/restaurant's price..it's hawker price! lovely! ;)

Most of the sellers are very nice and they give good and fast service. You don't have to wait that long for your food. Me and my family ordered seafood fried rice, grilled prawn (they come in different size of your choice), crispy baby squids, kang koong, grilled sting ray...yes sting ray! and it's so yummy, also ordered chili crab ow don't forget the sambal..yuumm..big dinner :)

Newton Food Centre is nice for family dinner or just to have dinner with some friends before you start your nightlife in Singapore. Choices of food may vary but not that much..most of them serve the same menu. But overall it's nice, like this food centre, recommend this and would like to come again.

Checked my fridge, apparently I don't have any spinach in there, but hey..I still got mushroom *triing* why don't I stuffed the mushroom inside the chicken, it's still healthy though.

Spicy Minced Beef in Pita Bread

I'm outta idea for making good dinner. I keep thinking to make Chicken Kretek (got the recipe from one of NCC member) but I'm just too lazy to buy a whole chicken hehe..pls don't follow my laziness :p maybe I'll make it sometime on the weekend? let's just see :)

So I decide to make something simple but yet can make you full once you eat it. And I just remembered that I have Pita bread that I bought from Kem Chick, then I think why don't I make something beefy then stuffs it inside the pita bread. It's very simple and easy to make, all you need is :

• Pita Bread
• Minced beef
• Chili sauce
• Crushed Chili/Chili flakes
• Onion (slice it)
• Lettuce
• Tomato
• Cheese (dice it)
• salt, pepper, sugar

Fry the sliced onion and the minced beef. Add garlic, pepper, sugar on it. Then put chili sauce and chili flakes, put aside. Meanwhile cut the pita bread, don't cut it into half but try to make a pocket of it. Put the pocket pita bread on grilling pan, grill it until it has grilled mark. Then put the lettuce, tomato, cheese or any other condiments of your choice and of course the spicy minced beef. Yuumm..your spicy minced beef in pita bread is ready :)

Pizza Bread for Quick Dinner

I catch a flu since 2 days ago and it seems that I have lost my appetite. But since I have to take my medicine so I have to force myself to eat something. I can't even think now, even to search for any recipe on the net :( so I try to make something that is very very simple for my quick dinner...yes I need it quickly so I can go to bed quickly...hatsyiiii *sneezing*

I got this recipe from Bara Pattiradjawane's cook book "Masak Seru bareng si Tukang Masak" then I made my own modification on my pizza bread.  all you need is......

• 2-3 tbsp of bottled pasta sauce 
• 2 slices of smoked beef (you can use any other meaty stuff)
• bread of course
• cheese (I use quick melt and mozzarella)

spread the pasta sauce on to the bread then put smoked beef and cheese on top of it. Put it in your microwave for like 3 minutes or if you don't have microwave you can put it in your oven for like 5-10 minutes until the cheese is melts.  Then, done..!! your pizza bread is ready to serve.

                                              

My pizza bread was ready when my hubby got home yayyy...then I made us some hot drink to enjoy, hot Milo for me and hot tea tarik for him. When he saw my pizza bread he quickly grabbed one and ate it hehehe...I really love seeing him enjoying any kind of food that I cook :) Love u so much hubby *kisskiss*                 

                                 Hot Milo for me and hot tea tarik for him
