Excavated Treasures...

As I was scouring through the photos Evelyn just passed to me, I came across this video. It was taken in the train on our way to Singapore...

It involves me, trying very hard (I know I won't make it as an MC, for sure!) . Everyone else, making a lot of noise. Chun Peng acting blur, and Wen Hao shy in front of the camera. Boy, were we a ruckus in the train. I can imagine the looks of the pissed-off uncles and aunties in the same cabin. =P

And some other photos to show that Makan Club in indeed alive, and we, even individually, still keep the Makan Club spirit to take photos of our food before we eat. Kinda like prayer before food... =PDrooling yet? Keep the Makan Spirit up!

Next project - Makan Club logo. Got a few ideas, but how would you guys like it? Modern or Vintage?

My Spaghetti ala Carbonara Seafood

The Sauce

I find this the hardest part of making this meal so I prefer to do this first.

1) Chop 2 large onions into thin rings

2) Slice 3 pieces of ham into strips

3) Defrost/buy some sotong and prawns and cut them up

4) Add some cooking oil into a pot and toss in the onions. Let them fry awhile

5) Throw in the ham, sotong and prawns. Let them fry awhile

6) Add a teaspoon of salt and taste to make sure its not too salty/too bland

7) Pour in one jar of cream sauce mix(you can get this anywhere, I used Leggo brand) and stir

8) Cut one block of Mozarella cheese into half and throw one half in. (Warning!!!If you live with weight conscious people, you can ignore this step or lie to them)

9) Stir, stir and stir until well mixed!

Oh by the way, I think my sister has a weird nail condition on her left big thumb. Its too large to be a splinter haemorrhage. Wonder what it is? Any opinions soon-to-be-docs?

The Pasta

I don't think I need to tell you how to cook pasta because you just boil it. I come from a Spaghetti family so I used spaghetti. You can use any pasta but generally, I think the sauce works well with spaghetti, fettucine and linguini. You can even mix both types.

The Bread

Garlic bread really really tastes good with this so just hop to a shop and pick any type of garlic spread. Apply it to white bread or wholemeal bread, roast/toast it till crispy.

The End Result!

A Heck of a Boost!

This is exactly what the Gobble Gazette needs for revival. Tiramisu with the extra kick of espresso on the top. I had this last night and I couldn't sleep. Happy thoughts just kept racing through my head. Today I woke up at 7 am even though I didn't need to go to UMMC and I still feel happy! Its the magic boost everyone needs. I just wish this came in a virtual, online form I can feed to this blog hmm....

Currylicious!

This has got to be the best curry mee you will ever find!!! Funny thing is everytime I go back to Ipoh, I rarely go to Old Town so thank God my uncle had a sudden craving for curry mee or else I would have forgotten all about this place. We were there at 9am and by 10am, there were no more mee or siew yoke. Absolutely fabulous!
