Chinese Food Last Night

June 9, 2013July 5, 2013by Azis Abdul3 Comments

Had another chance for dinner last night at China Town, one of Chinese small restaurant in Victoria Island. I passed there with my flatmate after we did an event for ~~crazy~~ client (Ups! ;P), and yup we had to enjoyed chinese foods we chose ~~as our revenge~~.

At China Town we never miss their Tom Yam. I could say that one of the best seafood tom yam I’ve ever tasted is their own! So tasty and pungent. Aside from tom yam, we ordered chicken chinese fried rice, crispy fried duck (yum!), and as always for drink, just cold spring water (they don’t have various drinks!). We love their tom yam and fried duck but NO for other spiced menus, WHY? Black pepper calamari, chicken in sweet sour sauce, or beef with cashew nut? Same taste (!!!).

Here, some of snaps from last night dinner. Two last foods below ; black pepper calamari and rice noodle with chicken aren’t taken last night ;P I found them in my food lodge.

Cushy & Simply

May 23, 2013May 29, 2013by Azis AbdulLeave a Comment

Being a ‘chooser’ for food sometime could be a wise choice to respect ourselves. Spending ten or fifteen minutes in the kitchen, choosing fresh ingredients then cook them, for sure, it is so much better than grabbing ~~delish~~ fast food from a food court. A cushy and simply food I cooked for breakfast yesterday for an example, 15 minutes needed, let say 30 minutes for everything; boiling the pasta, making the soup, blending avocado float, (Capturing? 15 minutes extra!). It was a quite busy started my morning time I know but it was worth it.

Here, some snaps from my breakfast yesterday ; Almond Loaf (+ Mayo and Lumpfish Caviar) for starter, Spinaci Pasta served with Garlic soup and boiled Chicken Breast (+ Chopped Broccoli and Stir fried Cherry Tomatoes), small glass of Avocado Float, A stick of Choux à la Crème, and Spring water (+ Lemon). It was a quiet full for breakfast!

A Little Celebration

May 13, 2013June 9, 2013by Azis AbdulLeave a Comment

It’s always good to be grateful when we are blessed with another year (it should!). A little celebration that I did yesterday as my BDAY gift (?), oh nope let me say it was just another spontaneous practicing Italian food.

A simply salty and cheesy cute bow-tie Farfalle served with Shrimps and Lumfish Caviar such a perfect late lunch meal and a piece of Strawberry Cheese cake was a yummy choice after salty and cheesy taste melted in my mouth. It was a little or too-little food for BDAY huh? Oh nope, I promise myself to have a proper dinner for ~~late BDAY~~ celebration when I’m coming home (yes! home!). I hope I can control my giddy side from pricey food for that celebration :P

P.S. Forgive me for the strong light on all these, that was because I cooked late and as always dramatic light comes around 5 pm makes pictures too sharp :P. I’ll post the recipe later, I’m off now, it’s Monday oh, real life awaits.

Fruity.

May 8, 2013May 8, 2013by Azis Abdul2 Comments

It’s been a while since I pushed to work out my crazy April. I was too busy until I had no time to pick out pics from my food lodge and share it here. For some reasons I always think that work ~~too~~ hard means yea yea yea I have to do my personal revenge after. Food is one of a perfect revenge and capture them always be another pleasure. I was enjoyed my Sunday morning last week with a piece of fruit pastry, a cup of coffee milk,and glass of refreshing lemon water. You see magazine on the table? That wasn’t a prop, it was my homework on Sunday. Uh, you see I had breakfast and homework in the same time huh?

Then, in the late noon on Sunday as usual, I always love dramatic light comes out from my window, so capturing smoothie that I made was so fun. The bamboo chopping board beautifying my smoothie even the light was so strong (that’s a new board!).

Last, tiny pancakes that I cooked for my breakfast yesterday looks yummy indeed, gathering fresh banana and Nutella, and some fresh strawberry on it was a simply perfect mood booster. Oh again, blueberry, strawberry, frozen banana and yogurt was so yummy as my pancake’s mate makes me want one more glass.

Ups, forgive me for too many pics on this post, I just too excited for fruits!

The Revenge 3 ; Dessert.

April 21, 2013May 5, 2013by Azis AbdulLeave a Comment

Dessert time or tea time because I spent it around 4-5 pm? I guess afternoon tea time rite such british has. I’m not a british so lemme call it snack time. Spending late noon with an iPad, culinary books, slice of strawberry mousse and cold iced coffee milk. I sat down open an iPad to see different inspiration of food photography from other talented photographers. I really love to do that, moreover I had a slice of mousse, it was perfect enough because it wasn’t over sweet. Don’t you think the color is perfect? I agree. Cold iced coffee milk was simply refreshing this noon, just need instant coffee and condensed milk, no sugar added.

Oh my revenge is over finally, I should do the latest one as I thought before to make a complete revenge (4!!). Cooking – Capturing – Uploading – Editing – and Blogging for a whole day? Oh I need some rest as well to be ready for the next day.

P.S. Because today was so so cloudy from this morning, I had to give extra exposure to make pics that I captured brighter. But don’t you notice different lighting on some of last pics above? The sun was peeked for minutes before she said bye-bye, you can see from the shadows of the glass and the coffee can easily. I think I should learn more bout’ the lighting honestly yea, all those pics on this blog is depend on natural light, and I never use effects for editing, none. All I need to do for photoshop-ing is resize and lay-out, brightness and level is sometimes.

The Revenge 2 ; Lunch.

April 21, 2013April 21, 2013by Azis Abdul2 Comments

Lunch ; second part of my revenge. After had a small breakfast I decided to cook heavier dish (I meant tasteful). I played with the ingredients that I had ; boneless chicken, as usual, basic spices and broccoli. I just cooked them quickly because in the same time I’d like to stay longer inside my chill room (<—lazy boy! *sigh) because I do realize that today is gonna be over and…yes…and…I will meet again with another hectic week.

Cooking boneless chicken is one of the quickest food that I could cook today and it was so yummy indeed. Very simple and uh me want more (hiks). I spiced the chicken with basic spices, onion-garlic-pepper-tomato (always..hahaha). Not only that, I used tomato sauce and lime also, so I could get fresh and sour taste from basic spices and it was married with the chicken (I’ll post separately the recipe next time). I used lime instead lemon, I just realized that I didn’t have lemon and by preface I used lime juice. The taste was still yummy! Sour, spicy and so fresh!

For the side dish, I chose broccoli and baked with sauce that I made before, its the same sauce for the chicken. Oh my lunch today was so simply yummy moreover I had complete cold drinks, spring water, rose syrup and…and…red wine…(Ups I’m lying hehe that was just grapes,my Dad will kick and slap me if I drink wine I know :3). I tucked into my lunch when I sat down at the table, hehehe.

Alright, I’ll post the last part of my revenge after. Now time to enjoy the pics!

P.S. I posted a similar recipe before you can see here *different technique but the ingredient is the same*. Just because I remember the pics that I attached on that post was horrible makes me wanna re-post and now you can see the pics above, so much better rite? :)

The Revenge 1 ; Breakfast.

April 21, 2013April 21, 2013by Azis AbdulLeave a Comment

I promise myself to make this Sunday goes well. Stay at home after crazy days last week, chilling inside room for a whole day, and absolutely foods! Foods? yeah that’s gonna be my personal revenge because couple days ago I was a bitter pill to swallow when I worked for a big event (I promise to post it soon).

So start from this morning, I chose to cook a quick one breakfast, just slices of pancakes with butter and Wilkin & Sons strawberry jam (finally I had a chance to grab that jam, I’m curious about the taste of it for a long and now I can say it’s a nice jam). And for drink I brewed a cup of bitter vanilla tea, bitter? yeah, I don’t like over–sweet meal for breakfast so that I didn’t put sugar in my tea, bitter was so good after I ate pancakes with sugary jam, thats all.

P.S. No need to write long story here, now Im going to prepare pictures for the next posts, :) (posts?–with ‘S’? it means more than 1—>; yeah!).

My Brisk Sunday, Fiuh!

April 15, 2013April 20, 2013by Azis AbdulLeave a Comment

Sunday is supposed to be my free day, off work, and enjoy me time as much as I can. But yesterday was different. I went to work even it was small work. After I posted my previous one early morning before I went to work, I already thought that I had to have my sunday still. That was okay still working but I asked myself to do something at least my sunday wasn’t fly away.

So, after me and my flatmate, and our team finished with the work, myself and flatmate decided to get some enjoyment outside. He chose having coffee time as usual. Me? I chose to go to grocery side inside mall to find something. I had no clue about that ‘something’ until I saw strawberry and broccoli. Yup I chose red and green. After that, I came back to the coffee shop where my flatmate sat down. I didn’t order a cup of cappucino like his own, I just took a slice of tiramisu. Not bad.

I came home by 1pm alone. My flatmate had to do another part of work (fiuh! oh Sunday!). He attended the meeting for our mega event that I’ve told you before I will post it if we pass it. I told that I would be super busy early April rite? I forgot to tell you that crazy mega event is postpone until the day, thursday and friday this week and haaaaa I already shaking when I imagine pressure and challenges that we will face for that event.

Alright this is it, enjoy!

Puff Pastry, Yesterday.

April 14, 2013May 25, 2013by Azis AbdulLeave a Comment

Sometimes for some reasons I can be a lazybones for breakfast. Its bad I know because no reason ignoring breakfast due to how important breakfast is. When I’m really damn tired of my endless work and cant cook, I try to solve my bad habit for it. Buying some pastry could be an instant problem solver. And yesterday, when I had two puff pastries, I didn’t have a plan before to capture them as usual if I have enough time on saturday. I still work on weekend even I resume later in the morning. And I dunno why it was so enjoyable when I decided to take my camera and yiha!. I played with some effects from my NEX, no edit as usual except the layout. Okay, lemme finish this short post because…yeah because I have to go for other work, on Sunday? *sigh-deep-breath.
