Gurney Drive

Ong Ling, Monkey & Suan Ling
the wife and the gfs of the clan.

We were all prep up for dinner.
Poor us!! stood under the scorching hot weather for RCC,
dehydrated, tanned, and our poor feet :(

okie I missed the part where we sneaked out to do a lil bit of shopping @ Gurney Plaza
hihihihihihi
worked so hard, had to reward ourselves.
RIGHT????
Mr. JS got us some farnie looking seashells for starter.
I dunno what do u call these!!!
but it's sure tasty,
with a lemon grass belacan dip
Penang Rojak

Since the ladies were having sore feet
fr standing and shopping,
the guys were despatched to buy food
*yaay*

Edmund was still sitting beside me when orders were given by yours truly to buy yummy food.

"Since when u are a gal?"
"....................*smiled sheepishly*....................."
"Go and get FOOD!!!"
"I dunno what to eat."
"But we want to EAT!!! Go and get something...anything!!!"

When the above conversation ended, on the dot.
Yip came back hugging 4 plates of rojak already.

Ed, u are super inefficient.
While Andrew came with 3 plates of Penang Char Kuey Teow RM 8
with super huge prawns on top!!
Yeah it's really really big
I dunno whether we were eating a prawn dish or char kuey teow
but it's sure yummy!!!

If u want prawns the above size,
do inform the stall vendor,
*add big prawns*
otherwise u don't get prawns....more like shrimps at RM 3.50
JS got me my favourite hi cholesterol heart choking life shortening/threatening super crispy can die deep fried chicken SKIN!!!

and plus some other peripherals.
well to enjoy the best Lo Bak...must go to Penang!!!
Sotong Kangkung
I dunno this dish originated fr Penang or Malacca.
and then my main course arrived
fully loaded with fish + yummy prawn paste was my penang asam laksa
one bowl ain't enuff

Edmund: "Wah!!! U can reaaalllly eat ar!!"
mimicking KFC XXL Burger ad

--__--
well same same, since u r not doin that bad either.
We finished off with dessert - Mua Chee
this one with deep fried shallots
so it's a savory mua chee
me no likey!
CNY is just around the corner,
I better watch my food intake.

Sigh, my 3rd lou sang by far would be tonite.
*stare down at my tummy*

Pls serve me indian food or middle eastern or fusion
I am sick of chinese food already.

Ultimate Chocolate Banana dessert!!!!!

This post is dedicated to all ladies who can't cook.

well, Valentine is coming and if u wanna whip up something sexay and delish...
for your loved one,
this would be it!!!
Preheat the oven to 200 degree centigrade,
smack 2 good looking bananas for 20 mins or less,
depending on the size of your bananas.

Well u are cooking for someone special...so do make sure all your ingredients
are super good looking and fresh.
while baking,
toast some walnuts on a pan and chop 'em up.

after 20 mins or so.....
by baking them in its own skin,
its juiciness and flavors are sealed in it.

Looked like egg plants eh?

it's important to use baking paper to avoid mess,
the bananas may spurt its juice while baking.
using a sharp scissors, make an opening like the above,
Golden Yummylicious banana!!!!

Do it gently,
you do not wanna destroy your soft banana,
REMEMBER!!! it's for your loved one.
:))))))))))))
Sprinkle lots and lots of chopped dark chocolate on top
it's important to use only very good dark chocolate
recommended Amedei or Valrhona.

The banana itself is already very sweet,
so DO NOT use any chocolate below 70% cocoa content.

also sprinkle the toasted chopped walnuts on top.
Served with ice cream of your choice....
in this case, to show how much your LOVE is
make your own ice cream
HAHAHAHAHAHA

Banana raspberry ice cream:
1 banana for 100gm of ice cream, so use about 4-5 bananas
peeled them and slice them up about 1cm thick
pack all the bananas in a ziplock bag, and throw in a handful of raspberry.
Freeze them until they are hard.

take 'em out and blend everything,
lastly pack 'em in a nice square container and freeze it for at least 24 hours.

it's creamless
it's milkless
but it's an awesome banana raspberry ice cream.
the banana itself is already very sweet,
goes so well with the sourish raspberry,
it also gives it a nice romantic pinkish color.
*u don't want a pale looking ice cream don't ya?*

and what about the other banana?????
Bcoz it's so sizzling hot,
all the dark chocolate melted.

So good to share together,
but one ain't enuff for monkey!!
tee hee hee.

very easy and yummy.
esp if u are a chocolate + banana person
:)))))
= Monkey
:)))))

Thanks baby :))
Hugs.

PS: NO, I didn't make the above, only documented it. Me National Food Graphic mar.
