文仔私防菜之 satay sandwich special...

i like to share with you a recipe for something that i thought of yesterday... you'll need the following ingredients:



1 small sweet potato and 1 yam
1 small tomato
few slices of cucumber
little bit of greens from a stalk of celery
2 pieces of ham
3 sticks of beef satay
some satay sauce
1 egg
3 pieces of toast

we'll prepare the sides first...



cut the sweet potato and yam into slices and drizzle some oil on it...
mix it well and send to a pre-heated 200 degree celcium oven for 20 minutes...



our sandwich filling...
warm some oil in a pan...



fry the egg, ham and three skewers of satay in the pan...











thinly slice the cucumber and tomato... pluck the leaves from the stalk of celery....






next, toast the bread...



once toasted, lined the cucumber, tomato and the celery on the bottom layer...



cover it and then move on to the next layer...



line the second layer with the ham...



then the egg...



and the satay and the satay sauce....




cover... serve with the baked sweet potato and yam...





cut in half... it looks like this...



bon appetite...

home-made dinner for one...

today, my folks are out of town so i decided to prepare some stuff for myself for dinner instead of going out to eat...



here, the end results.. it looks complicated but trust me, it is not... hahhaa... while i can cook, there are tons of stuff in my fridge that i need to get rid off, so i decided to use some of that to come up with tonight's dinner...

the soup is packet miso, which i simply loved... i love miso even before going to japan... i guess i will continue to drink it...

the salad is a combination of cucumber, tomato, celery and bitter gourd with shards of bak-kua... the sauce is a simple mix of olive oil, apple cider, abalone sauce, cracked black pepper and some fried onions...

the main course was actually some leftover sweet and sour pork which i reheated with some celery... i steamed the rice and the siu mai's...

and there you have it, my bento set... hahahha

anlene low fat yogurt...

today, as 4.30 p.m. approached, i got hungry... so instead of snacking on some fatty foods, i decided to go with yogurt i bought...



product name: anlene low fat yogurt...

on its own, i figure that the strawberry in it would be few, so decided to introduce some friends into the mix...



strawberry... meet pineapple and dragon fruit...

the consistency of the yogurt... well... it is watery... not thick... but OK...



it was confirmed that i needed to add in the fruits... if not, i would feel dissatisfied... hahaha...

i have to say, this yogurt tends to be a bit thin... i would have loved it if it were thicker... but being low fat i suppose it would take some creaminess out of it...

on the whole, it was a value pack - four packs for around rm6.40 so cheaper than if you were to buy it single...

not overtly sweet... but again, i need to try others to find malaysia's best yogurt...

arggg... tm makes me boil...

this afternoon, the streamyx connection gradually slowed... it got to the point that it slowed to less than 10 bps downloads... i could not even go to TM Net's own web page...

i called 1300 88 9515 up to make a complaint at around 4.40 pm after my connection dropped at around 4.30 p.m.... half way into talking with them, my connection suddenly resumes back to what we normally experience... around 20-30 kbps download... even though i am on the supposedly 1MBPS downloads...

it is very frustrating to have to experience this on a regular basis.. especially on the weekends...

i continued to do the test using tm's own tool... it recorded these results in terms of download speed... 693.52, 610.08, 640.4 and 637.4...

then i connected to deconnexion's speed test was of 658 kbps download and 247 kbps upload... way down than the promised speed....

what to do... we can only bear with the constant interruptions...

an expensive saturday...

sigh... my car is giving me problems... it is aging... and it needs a lot of upkeep money... i just spent around 200bux to get it fixed... and there are still things i am putting off due to lack of funds... hahhaa...

muffler... replaced...

this is the picture of the new muffler... the old one just... well... the exhaust pipe section fell off... giving my car a very bad bad sound... i had to get it replaced... the loud noice was giving me headaches...

this little exercise costed me around 180 bux... what to do...

punctured tyre... patched...

i don't know where i got the puncture... while getting my muffler fixed, the muffler guy pointed that my driver rear tyre has punctured... so i sent it to the tyre people to have a look... turns out it was punctured...

by this little nail... it was leaking... had my tyre patched up... that was cheap, for around 6 bux... but still, a whole saturday morning wasted... and i was covered in sweat...

there are still some things with my car i haven't got round to fix... i just have to put those things on hold until probably some months down the track... life as a salaryman sucks...

friday 13th... an accident on brooke drive...

for those who believe in it, today is friday the 13th... supposedly black friday... where all bad things could happen...

on my way to work, i witness what appreared to be quite a horrific accident..

it happened along brooke drive... just before the church...

a honda hit the lamp post... and the lamp post was uprooted from the concrete..

there was a huge jam in front of me... luckily the people involved in the accident was OK... i was going to take photos of the accident... ie... the car and its plates (ahahhahahah) but was hurried along, so i missed the opportunity...

also... i made it to work on time... hahahhaha...

redeemed gift from hsbc...

around 7,000 points were going to expire from hsbc cards... so i found something i want to redeem...

this universal travel plug.. i needed 14,000 points to redeem it... i know, it was a lot of points, but i wanted one for my travelling...

another factor that sealed the deal with the built-in usb docket for me to charge up my ipod..

it can be detached to be used for few sectors...

the left part is basically for the US/Australia/Japan/Taiwan area...

the right side is for UK/Europe...

this is detached from the right part... for use in europe..

on the left, the plus is for use for US/Australia and Japan.. this config is for Australia..

the feature that i was looking at.. the usb..

see... can charge up my ipod.. and others too...

but cost quite a lot.. 14,000 points..

free wifi... in sarawak...

apparently, sarawak is now installing wifi all over the state...

its initial coverage spans most of miri and a big area in mukah...

all you need do is to register... i haven't try yet.. in sibu, it is limited to the town area...

so maybe i'll go round to try it out over the weekend...

in sibu, as of 12th july, the covered areas are: sibu gateway area, area surrounding tanah mas hotel, sibu town square... and coming soon: area around paramount hotel and area around sibu port...

free wifi.... for a trial of two years...

doh!!! i am bound to streamyx for 2 years...

nestle bliss...

i had a craving for yogurt today... it was hot...

this is nestle bliss... a range of fat free yogurt... i got the stawberry flavor...

see... it says there on the cover... fat free... hahaha...

actually that is a misnomer... fat free does not mean sugar free... if the food is fat free... then it is taste free... er... ie tasteless... ahhaha... so they pump in lots of sugar...

this one also claims to contain calcium to strengthen bones... correct me if i am wrong but it will depend on the situation as well... too much calcium will cause your bones to be brittle too...

anyway, i was not at all that bothered to look at the nutritional information plastered on the back... in colors...

but this live culture is sure a fast acting agent... i ate around lunch time... after work... i.. er... had to rush to the toilet... ahhaha... and still feeling the effects now... hahahaha

i know... this picture is a bit blur... i took a few and it still came out this way... what to do??

anyway... the strawberry inside tasted like jam... i am guessing they mix the jammed strawberries into the mix... to make it the flavor that it is...

i still miss the yogurt from australia.. and japan...
