Dinner #24

Tonight's dinner pretty simple. Coz I only managed to boil the Arrowroot with Corn Soup. The rest were bought from the market.



Ingredients:

• Arrowroot
• Corn
• Spare Ribs
• Red Dates
• Salt to Taste

I boiled the soup on high heat for 2 hours and on low flame to simmer another 3 hours.



Mui Choy Kau Yoke

The verdicts:

• Mui Choy tasted artificial.
• The meat was ok.
• Overall it's salty even it was taken with steamed rice.

Satay - Beef & Chicken

The verdicts:

• Beef was tender (a bit dry due to it was in the fridge overnight and was heated up in microwave.)
• Chicken was still juicy and tender.
• Tend to bite into some bits of blended lemongrass as it was part of the meat marination.
• Gravy very nutty and creamy. Combine with the sambal provide, it make the perfect match.

Sitiawan Supper - 31 July 2010

Whenever I'm back in Sitiawan, I tend to have craving for this and for that. On Saturday night after dinner, an hour or so later, I had this urge to eat again. Hubby suggested we go for McDonald's. And suddenly it hit me - Kerang Bakar and Satay!!!

There's this popular Satay stall in a Malay food court near Billion Shopping Centre in Taman Samudera Seri Manjung. The last time we were there, we had takeaway of 40 pieces (20 beef & 20 chicken). They get order from 4-5 sticks per customer to 100+ sticks per customer a night. They do catering as well.

This time round, the owner no longer sell beef satay at his stall coz the cost is too high for him and customers not willing to pay RM0.50 a piece for the beef satay!!! However, if there's a catering order, they do provide beef satay.

The verdicts:

• The chicken meat was so tender and juicy.
• It was perfectly grilled and doesn't have the char taste.
• The peanut sauce was good. Very peanuty.

Next to the satay stall, it's a Kerang Bakar (Grilled Cockles) stall runs by a Malay couple.

The verdicts:

• Cockles are big, juicy and sweet.
• Doesn't have the bloody taste. And you don't see the blood flowing out like those steamed cockles.
• The sauce provided has peanut, and tasted sweet and sour.
• I preferred the grilled cockles without sauce.
