Haven’t blogged about Charlie for a while. My son is turning 5 this October. Why do you have to grow up so quickly, son? :(
Here are some out of focus pictures of us cuddling and fooling around.
# – Chilling.
# – Aarrghh
# – Aaaarghhhhhh.
# – I have ran out of captions.
# – Goodnight.
By the way, here’s my first post about Charlie. Love you Chacha.
Am on a roll! Cooked mushroom barley risotto for dinner and made roast chicken thighs for some meat to go with.
The barley I used? The ones chinese mothers have used for generations for the familiar barley drink.
All at the cost of RM0.60 per packet.
Who needs arborio rice? Who? Suckers!
# – 2 packets of barley for two. RM1.20 WTF!
The most expensive ingredient was the fresh mushrooms. Think I’d use canned ones next time since I probably can’t tell the difference after a spot of sauteeing.
# – One ladle of stock at a time and stir. One ladle at a time.
Used this recipe for the risotto and this recipe for the chicken thighs.
By the way, you must absolutely try the chicken recipe cause it was crazy good!! No marinade, just salt & pepper. I was shocked at how delicious it was.

Happy cooking!
Recently, a new restaurant opened in my neighbourhood, literally behind our old apartment.
I’m always happy whenever a new restaurant opens. That means, more dinner options!
At first, I had no idea what the restaurant was selling…because it has no english wording on the main signboard! Finally, I noticed a tiny “Chee cheung fun” printed on the smaller signboard.
# – What? Don’t know what 后巷肠粉记 means but that’s the name, I think.
# – Nice interior.
When I opened the menu, I was so happy because there were like 6 types of chee cheung fun or rice rolls.
I ordered 4 types…
# – Penang style. Really nice prawn paste sauce, very strong flavours perhaps even stronger than the one in Genting Cafe! I was very pleased.
# – Curry fun. A bit too mild for me but decent overall.
# – Ipoh style. I think this is the first time I’ve tasted Ipoh style chee cheung fun. It’s red, a bit sweet and a bit tart, quite unusual -Anyone know what is the sauce made of?
# – KL style. Sweetish tart.
The other two types are plain with soy sauce and stuffed. Going to try those the next time.
# – Yong tau fu. Quite nice to go with the rice rolls.
# – Deep fried dumplings. Okay.
Food was okay, certainly not the best rice rolls I’ve ever had but it’s nice to get so many local specialty rice rolls in one place.
My favourite part of the restaurant has got to be the faux vintage cups and plates! I want me some of those!
