That’s what I have to do whenever I want to cook up a storm, even if it’s just for my little humble family, which really means just cooking for the Hubs and myself since the girls don’t usually eat what we do. For your information, I am a chilli girl. What to do? The Indian blood lurks deep. On average, I have my fix of extra spicy chilli padi – only about 10 a day. I eat it at every meal. I even eat it with pasta.

This is one of my rare cooking sessions of 4 dishes. Usually, I only have time for 1, 2 or 3 dishes at most, of which one would be a soup. But before you commend me for this, I will openly admit that a lot of the hard work from these dishes really came from my Mama. She does all the hard work for me. I only throw in her hard work with the meat and voila!

One of my all time favourite dishes. Mom really makes the BEST chilli for this. With fresh prawns? Freaking AWESOME.

Sambal Prawn Petai – it’s really hard finding good petai these days……thus we only cook it when Tok-Tok drives home from Ipoh or Kuala Kangsar.

The necessary silver pomfret…….for the kids. The Hubs always complains how I can never slice ginger super fine like in the restaurants. I tell him I am Portuguese! We are only good for drama and acting! If he wanted a wife who could slice fine ginger, he should have gone to Shanghai! Blek.

Brinjal/aubergine/eggplant is one of my favourite dishes too. I grew up with this Filipino dish as we used to have a Filipino maid who’d steam the brinjal and pour freshly pounded chillies over it. YUMZ!!!

So are you impressed?
