kari ikan ><<<<(^.^)

Using the Serbuk Kari Ikan my sis sent me to cook some curry fish.
my first attempt was a disaster. very weird taste...
I should not put garlic in every dish...
then, the second time, kari ikan without garlic,
tasted not that strange but still something is missing...
last week, the malay girl who came to Tsukuba with me was cooking in the shared kitchen while I was trying out my third attempt of kari ikan...
her babas spice filled the air... smelt so yummy~~~
and i was looking at ingredients for my kari ikan... embarrassed (>.<)
I just cant figure out the way to improve this dish until i saw the tomato on her side ~~~
yes! tomato! i should try this. and it turned out to be a right decision... =)
and today, my forth attempt. and it looks and tastes better than the first three times~
the tomato gives my kari ikan some sour taste
and YES! it tasted just like a dish of edible kari ikan!
learn from mistakes, grow with experience... =)

cooking day... princess bcome housewife liao... =..(

i am not good at cooking at all. every time i cook, i use packet sauce bought from supermarket. but i find that this is a good way to start, encouragingly, to learn cooking... just add in the sauce and everything is perfect! u dont have to worry its too salty too sweet or simply sucks... but i still wish that someday i dont have to use that kind of packet sauce... =) princess ayumi bcomes housewife ayumi liao.... =..(

this soup, my mama taught me thru SKYPE~ hehe... add in everything i have in the fridge. enoki, brocolli, carrot, mince pork, prawn, mushroom... not too bad...

this is bitter gourd + packet sauce + tofu + carrot. wei wei's sis cooked that when i put up at her place. but the taste are totally different from hers... hahaha... i am learning... mb will get lazy to cook someday... but i need to save more money to move out nex year... taihen da....

another day of cooking ~

used 1 hour to prepare my lunch and i was almost late to class...
1st semester in Tsukuba Uni is coming to an end... nex week 2 tests and another week 4 tests...
then 6th july is my entrance exam interview. wish me good luck... have to buy suit for this occasion. boring japanese. only allow dark color suit. i am so hiao. bought non-dark color suit from nichii before i came to Japan and now, i cant wear it! shit nia! boring boring damn boring japanese!

this is my breakfast... roti + egg... ... hehehe
and this is my lunch, using ma po tofu sauce to cook this + some more egg ...i think i should cut the carrot nicely nex time... hahaha... eating such dishes makes me felt like i am at home... miss my mama... miss mama's dao you bak...

Lunch @17th June 2009

lazy to cook. some more the bread is going to expire soon. made myself sandwich. =)hope i wont gain too much weight by having a slice of cheese each day...

went to buy some grocery after doing my homework. found this "snoopy chocolate whip" which can be used on top of bread. but still, Nutella tastes better.
what i love about japan is u can find anything with hello kitty face on it! that's hello kitty gommage (skin scrubs). with apple scent. cute leh.... and the cooking chopstick (longer than normal one) is also with hello kitty prints... =)

my first dishes in tsukuba... =)

Finally, the long awaited fridge arrived at my place... Start cooking today... not too bad. of course not as yummy as mama's dishes, but still edible... =P i only know how to cook this, since its the easiest. looks not bad right. wahahaha... =P
