Fig 1a. the "ingredients"

Impressed by the taste of Leffe Brune (at a rather affordable price for Belgian dark ale), I did some research and found that some people use it to marinade meat ball.

I got some recipe and felt lazy (that's the 1st one), so I did research again.

I found that people used it to make the meat sauce for spaghetti.

I got the recipe from Ron and Winne, however, got lazy again.

Btw, this morning when I woke up, I had the urge to try out.

So went to supermarket to buy the ingredients. Fig 1a shows the ingredient I bought.

At the supermarket, I felt the laziness bug, bugging me again.

So instead of buying canned mushroom, I bought the alfredo portobello sauce (with mushroom) and cheese & cream sauce - then mix them.

I didn't feel that scared cos I know at home there are 3 other victims/guinea pig to enjoy or suffer together.

So I cut the chicken breast into pieces, and marinaded with Leffe Radieuse (Jusco only has that, but well, it's 8.2% ABV, so even better?)


Marinaded for 1 hour

Then, stir-fried with olive oil.

After stir-fried it, I mixed all of them with (another mixture of) the spaghetti sauce.

Now the spaghetti part - I forgot the how much time is it needed, so I tasted the noodle 2 times to call off the cooking session.


Here comes the result, did not look so tasty I know, but that's because I only remembered to take photo when my sister ate it half way!

So the objective of this random cookery session is mainly on the marinaded meat.

My verdict:
The taste of the beer is not evident. You can only say it's a chicken with a hint of beer.
Maybe I should use pork next time.

As for my family members, they didn't particularly find it great, but comments from them:

Sister: The spaghetti is just nice (i.e. not too soft nor too hard)
Mum: So what do you plan to cook for dinner? (my reply in my heart: dream on [I know i'm not a good son])

So that's all about my random cookery session.

Sekian.

Had some eat out session in Puchong, with my ex-colleague Justin on last Saturday.

Surprisingly, the food over there is affordable yet tasty!

We went to Caff restaurant (an Italian fusion restaurant) for the lunch.


We tried their signature pizza - Turkey Ham pizza (as pictured), 2 set of lunch - end up it cost only like RM6x++

Justin found the pizza not so nice as it has some mayo - while I find it ok, cos... maybe.. it's worth the price :P

Then we went to Low Yat (yah, for some reason, and all the way from Puchong) and back to Puchong empty handed...

We had our dinner at Bumbu Bali restaurant.


The Nasi Campur that has - one special satay, two dory fish fillet, some prawn, quite a number of squid, a chicken Rendang drumstick, acar, some chips, rice = Rm28++

It's worth the price and I tell you what, if you bring along your gf who doesn't eat that much, and order their nasi campur - prepare to eat 1.5+ set at the end of the day :)

Basically, a fruitful meet up and I'll definitely back to this restaurant next time.

It's a Sunday afternoon with no lunch available at home - my parents went to my granny's house.

I've been hearing my sister talking about the Italian restaurant near my house. So we(I) just went there for my lunch.


Inside the restaurant

I ordered a lunch set, consists of:


Mushroom soup


Spaghetti Marinara


Freshly-baked chocolate cake (with a scope of melting ice cream on top...whatever it is)


Lime Juice


As for my sister, since she already had her late breakfast, she ordered a slice of Tiramisu

The service was good and prompt, maybe there were not many people at that time.

And for a set lunch which was RM25.9++ I really felt very very full.

I'll be there to try their pizza next time, anyone?
