Recipe: Steamed Seabass

My family loves steamed seabass. We just had this yesterday. So, I'm sharing the recipe here. It's a mixture of Chinese style and a bit of Malay style as well.

Steamed Seabass

1 seabass - cleaned. Make 2 long insertions on the body.
2 inches on ginger - julienne
3 garlic - finely chopped
2 lemongrass
1 kaffir lime leaf
2 bird eye chilies
some chopped spring onion
1/2 lemon
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 tablespoon oyster sauce
Half cup of water
Salt & pepper to taste

Put vegetable oil in wok, fry garlic, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaf and chilies. Add oyster sauce. Pour water. Add salt and pepper. When sauce is boiled, put the fish in and cover (to steam it). Cook for 3 minutes and then flip the fish to cook the other side. Cook for another 3 minutes.

In another wok, put in very small amount of vegetable oil and mix with sesame oil. Heat the wok. Fry ginger till golden brown.

To serve, put fish in a plate, pour the sauce over. Then pour the hot ginger and sesame oil on top of fish. Garnish with chopped spring onions. Finally, squeeze lemon on fish.

What Happened to Renee Zellweger?

What happened to Renee Zellweger's face? She is unrecognizable!

When asked, she said things about being in 40s, and being healthy, and being happy. But those didn't explain the drastic face change.
Ok, I looked at a few photos available online and at certain angles, she does look like her old self. Especially the way she pout her lips.
I believe she did something to her face. People's face don't simply change even as we age a few years. Let's see... slightly bigger eyes... slightly fuller lips... I don't know.
Or, she wore very little make-up! That might explain it! (Yeah right!)

Recipe: Banana Prata

What is Prata? Prata or roti prata is fried flour-based pancake famously known in Malaysia and Singapore as Roti Canai. There are many varieties of prata - with butter, cheese, eggs, onions.. There are even very thin and broad ones served with syrup and condensed milk. Prata is usually served with curry. But since it's a very versatile dish, you can actually do anything you like with it!

Here's a way of serving prata - my daughter style!

Banana Prata
1 frozen prata (you can get them at frozen section)
1 banana
Some brown sugar
A bit of cinnamon powder
Some butter
Some shredded cheese

On a frying pan, heat up some butter and place the prata. Cook over low heat. While the bottom is being fried slowly, the top will get soft. Slice the banana and arrange on half side of the prata. Sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon powder. Then put some butter and shredded cheese.

When the bottom has started to brown, fold the prata into two. After about 2 minutes, flip to the other side till cooked.

To serve, cut the half-moon shape prata into 4.

Here's a very simple recipe of garlic parsley potatoes. I used to love Garlic Parsley Potatoes at Kenny Rogers. I wonder why they took it off the menu now. Anyway, I simply tried doing my own version one day and the result turned out to be very, very nice. And very similar to Kenny Roger's Garlic Parsley Potatoes. So, here goes!

Garlic Parsley Potatoes
2 potatoes - quartered. If you like them smaller, cut into smaller pieces

Some butter
Olive oil
Parsley (fresh - chopped or use dried)

Boil the potatoes with some salt until tender. Drain.
In a pan, put in some olive oil and butter. Next saute the chopped garlic until slightly golden. Put in the boiled potatoes and mix well. Season with salt and black pepper. Lastly, add parsley.

A very nice side dish to roasted chicken or steak.
