PUKUL 12 PAGI BARU BANGUN ANI. BUKAN LAGI PAGI. PATANG.<\/p>\n<p>UNI starts next week for me.. and i have yet to set my body clock right. PUKUL 12 BARU BANGUN?? I&#8217;m very mad at myself. I was gonna wake up early today to go to the asian groceries. I didn&#8217;t get to make Pandan chicken last night as Laguna ran out of pandan leaves. So i was gonna wake up early make the trip to the other 3 Asian groceries on Bourke Street to find my pandan leaves. If i was back at home it&#8217;d be just a matter of asking someone to take it from the back garden. I don&#8217;t even have to do it myself. <\/p>\n<p>I have been cooking alot past few days. Been experimenting with spices that i&#8217;ve never cooked or seen my mom cooked with before. Just the other day i tried making FRIED FIVE SPICE CALAMARI  using <strong>FIVE SPICE<\/strong> WITH KEVIN SPACEY (i just had to add in the last bit) and it turned out good. Over the weekend i was craving for Cecconi&#8217;s Squid Ink Pasta but instead of spending the $33 on a small portioned dish i popped in to David Jones to find packed squid ink spaghetti so that i could make it at home &#8211; but they only had fettucini. Not what i was looking for. So The next day i went down to Victoria Market and made another hunt for this teeth <em><strong>blackening<\/strong><\/em> pasta..though to no avail. They only seem to have squid ink fettucini in stock and not spaghetti. ish. So i guess a trip down to Cecconi&#8217;s would be due soon. I&#8217;ll just have to wait till my cravings get out of hand.. to the point of I HAVE TO HAVE MY SQUID INK PASTA IF NOT I WILL DIE.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/pynk.flawedperfection.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/11\/calams.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\n* I have yet to master the arts of criss-crossing a squid so that it&#8217;d curl up in to pretty shapes. I want to make my Sotong the Heidi Klum of all Sotong. <\/p>\n<p><strong>5 Spice Calamari Recipe<\/strong>:- WITH LOVE<br \/>\n-Squid..cut the way you like..or cut the way you dont like for friends you dont really like.<br \/>\n-Plain Flour, enough to coat your squid..\u201dSquid Pakai COAT\u201d kali ah. Although you can substitute PLAIN FLOUR with Corn Flour. Cornflour would be better i think. I made mine with plainflour and it wasn\u2019t as crispy.So cornflour should do the trick!<br \/>\n-A few pinches of <em><strong>5 Spice powder<\/strong><\/em>.. not too much cause i notice that the taste could be a tad overpowering.<br \/>\n&#8211; A teaspoon of chilli powder..or a pinch.<br \/>\n-Salt and Fresh Ground Black Pepper to taste. <\/p>\n<p>DEEP FRY. NYUM!! <\/p>\n<p>*Tip dari NiniGirl: Add a pinch of salt in to your cooking to make whatever you\u2019re frying crispier. it works! <\/p>\n<p>Last nite i made  lasagna for Aunty &#038; Kamy . I hope it turns out okay. The white sauce wasn&#8217;t the right consistency as i liked it to be. I got over excited with the milk. I might&#8217;ve poured too much in. I don&#8217;t know what happened there&#8230;best guess i was playing princess at that time and i was in Africa trying to feed milk to a tribe of  malnutritioned kids.HAH! That&#8217;s the thing with cooking for people. You just can&#8217;t seem to do it right. Something ALWAYS goes wrong. With me, im comfortable making small portions for two.. or three the most but if i start making dinner for 20 people. everythinggggggg and i mean everrryyythinggg runs amok! There was this one time when my lasgana did not turn out the way i wanted it to be, this was also probably due to the fact that i was baking it a 3 oclock in the morning and i was cooking it because i HAD NO CHOICE as  i was expecting people for lunch the next day. My guests thought it was okay.. but at that point of time..it didnt matter all i could ever think about was how horrific and disgusting it was that that i threw up with a spoonful. I am one mental case when it comes to food. MY FOOD exspecially. From experience, i&#8217;ve learned that the secret to good food is cooking it.. <strong>WITH LOVE.<\/strong>  It&#8217;s like that book, Like Water for Chocolate and that movie..with Sarah Michelle Gellar; Simply Irresistable &#8211; What they feel goes in to their food. I couldn&#8217;t agree more!! Yatah kalau masak ani.. inda buleh marah2. mesti happy hapy. mesti seneng seneng nya orang endon. lol. <\/p>\n<p>Oh. Anyway. I just saw Kylie Kwong&#8217;s latest cooking series. OMG. BULEH YA KE SHANGHAI BE TRANSLATOR. CINA INDA PANDAI CKP CINA? THATS LIKE MELAYU INDA PANDAI CKP MELAYU?? SOOOOOOOOOOOO BARIMALU.
