~Simply Spaghetti~

I stepped into the kitchen today to cook for a simple dish for myself… Spicy Spaghetti !!!! Well the ingredient is very simple:

For 1 person
1 Tomato (cut into cubes)
1 Big Onion (sliced)
15grams of Dried Shrimp
2 tablespoon Tomato Puree
2 tablespoon Crispy Prawn Chilli
2 teaspoon Chilli sauce
2 teaspoon sugar
50grams of Spaghetti
Chilli flakes for garnishing.

My method of cooking:
Boil the water enough to cover the spaghetti with some oil and salt.
Cook it until the spaghetti is soft (approx. 10mins)

For the sauce
Add in oil. Put in the slice big onion and fry it tills fragrant. Add in the dried shrimp and stir. Then put in the tomato puree and crispy prawn chilli. Add in the chilli sauce and sugar to taste. This varies according to the level of spicy. Finally add in the tomatoes cube and stir. The sauce is ready by now.

Drain up the spaghetti into a plate and place the sauce on top of the spaghetti. Final touch is sprinkling some chilli flakes that add up some flavors to it.

Yum yum yum…. Ready to dig in…

Bad Service and Food Nominees - Hee Lai Ton

We have been going to have our dinner in this particular restaurant in whatever functions. It is because their food and service are very well… But we were surprise that we were treated so differently for this one particular time.

When we entered the restaurant it is already different from usual time which is normally crowded, these time were empty. We are the only group of people having dinner there. (Like we reserved the whole restaurant).

Then we ordered the dishes. While waiting for the dishes, we just entertain with a television, which compared to last time, we used to have the karaoke system. Times really bad I guess.
After a while, the foods is served. OH MY GOD! For me to see that we were each given a half bowl of rice. I wonder are they going to charge me half bowl price or full bowl price! We start to dig in… When almost come to the mid of the course, the fish is “七星班”. Gosh! It is overcooked and the meat was so rough. It seems to be taken out right from the freezer and being cook without proper defrosting it. The taste is so bad. It feels like eating chicken meat. Even my 2 years old niece also doesn’t want to eat that. It still left half untouched.

We talked to their manager Annie. We explained to her that the fish is so badly done. We requested her to take a spoon for let their chef to try. So she said she will talk to the chef and ask about it. After she went out, and she never came in to give us any explanation on the badly done fish! And we waited and waited.

In the end we finished our meals and paid for the dinner (which the fish is also being counted into the bill). We demand to see her and ask for it. How come she never bothers to tells us anything about the fish and pretending like nothing happen. Is it that if we keep quiet and they will act nothing? And the fish is not a RM1 or RM2 kind of dishes. And we never heard from her after we complain it. That is not a right attitude. Not even a single apology from her on behalf of the chef or the restaurant. (I know it as I am from service line). At that time then she came up with lots of explanation-

1. The chef said that fish from Sabah and when cook, the meat is tough.
2. The lady boss is the person who buys the fish and she already left the restaurant 5 mins ago. ( I believe that when we complain is not 5 mins ago)
3. She is waiting for the boss to come back.

She said if we come back next time, she will compensate us with another fish. We all were so fed-up listening to all those crap. Do you think I will still want to go there again? We just want to leave that restaurant and not going to eat there anymore. For those who are going there to have their dinner… GOOD LUCK!

I won’t recommend it to anyone.

Remember the name of the restaurant!

Highest Exchange Rate

Just came back from Kuwait, country with the highest exchange rate. For about USD3.40 you will only get Kuwait Dinar(KD) $1. So some meals will only cost several "cent". Hahahah....

Kuwait notes denomination. KD ¼, ½, 1, 5, 10, 20. For coins in Kuwait currency is called pils. There are 0.01 (1fil), 0.05(5fils), 0.10(10fils), 0.20(20fils), 0.50(50fils) and 0.100(100fils).

(This reminds me where our parents and grandparents used to tell us about their young days... Buying some "kueh" with few cents only.)
