Dinner at Seaview Restoren , Bagan Lalang

Image
===== Recently we went to Bagan Lalang one fine night for a seafood dinner, we went to our usual place at Seaview Restaurant, if you follow the road to Bagan Lalang beach, its the first place on the right side, with a wooden pintu gerbang and lots of parking ( a bit risky since there's a lot of coconut trees here, park at your own risk !). The choice of dishes for dinner include otak2, ika sweet sour (siakap), ikan bakar, sotong goreng tepung,ketam sweet sour, udang pedas, sayur campur and different types of drinks. Definitely a fulfilling meal! If you are from Nilai or Labu it would take about half and hour to 45 minutes to get here. Be sure to go there with an empty stomach... and takeyour pick from the array of seafood on display and ordered the to be cooked to your specification. The ikan bakar with air asam is excellent choice as the sotong goreng tepung,just to give you a hint .

Date and Walnut Teacake

Image
Found some leftovers dates in the pantry, look up a recipe that can utilise the dates rather than chucked it out in the bin, came across this great simple and delicoius teacake. The recipe originally called for dates and walnuts since I was lazy to roast the walnuts , i just omitted the whole nut thingy. The batter is a bit on the thick side and I was worried that the cake won't rise, the texture is like quick bread type of loaf. make sure you chopped the dates into pieces or you'll end up which hugh chuncks of dates in your cakes ( that is what you get when you bake in the middle of the night !). This cake can be bake in a 21cm loaf/oblong pan, I just used a 7 inch round cake pan and put some of the extra into muffin case and bake them (this I iced with buttercream frosting and took to office). Somewhat my impression that the cake needs a bit more liquid, perhaps later on I would add extra milk. This cake is not too sweet since it only uses brown sugar and honey but quite moi...

This time we opted to sit malay style on one of the two huts provided - completed with a Japanes e table. The hut is big enought to accomodate 6 person, and since there are only 4 of us, is is quite spacius. It has its own ceiling fan and even a call button for service. The ambience is soothing with gardens and plants abundant with fish pond to boot, a very good choice for a lingering lunch hence we called up and ordered ahead and had a wonderful conversation too. Three of us had western food (lamb chop, fish and chip & chicken chop) and one opted for the yummylicious laksa johor. Just look at the size of the serving! Gila makan wooooo.... Unfortunately did not mange to get the fish n chips pic since we are busy eating ! Chicken chop with mushroom sauce and fries Lambchop with mixed v...

In 1992, the Center for Science in the Public Interest compared the nutritional value of sweet potatoes to other vegetables. Considering fiber content, complex carbohydrates, protein, vitamins A and C, iron, and calcium, the sweet potato ranked highest in nutritional value. According to these criteria, sweet potatoes earned 184 points, 100 points over the next on the list, the common potato.(NCSPC) Sweet p...
