Salam readers..

This blog is my personal collection of recipes.. I learnt cooking when i was about 13 or 14 yrs old from my lovely mummy.. I started with writing the recipes in a school notebook yg kotak2 utk maths tu.. I dont even remember where I put that book dah hehe.. Then I translated (eng > bm), typed, printed and filed them for easy reference for our house helpers.. This file has been in my mummy's kitchen for a longgggg time..

Now that I'm married, I've learnt some new recipes obtained from the internet, whc I tweaked to suit our tastebuds.. So kira internet recipes tu dah modified to our own liking la.. And of course I'm also learning new recipes from my MIL too.. Apart from my mum, my MIL and the Internet, I will also feature recipes sent by my friends here.. ^_^

Most of the recipes in this blog are very simple to cook, very suitable for us women who doesnt really have the luxury of time to cook an elaborated meal.. Sekali sekala ok la kan..

I hope you enjoy this blog as much as I enjoy sharing the recipes with you.. Happy trying! Happy cooking!

::stir-fry beef with basil and broccoli::

this is actually a few thai recipes that i combined into one.. most beef and basil recipes does not include vege but because m so lazy to cook the broccoli separately, so i mixed them in my dish.. hehehe.. if u search for the recipe yourself, you might find that some of the ingredients are not in my recipe, reason is simply i dont have the ingredient la hahaha.. and though those recipe includes cili padi, mine doesnt have any cili padi because my gastric doesnt permit me to eat anything spicy.. 

ok, enough yapping, here it is, simple but very nice..

1) if possible at least 30 mins before cooking, marinate the beef with cornflour and soysauce.

2) when ure ready to cook, heat the pan and then the olive oil.. when the oil is hot, sautee the garlic and ginger until fragrant.

3) then add in the beef, stirfry until they are nearly cooked, and pour in the oyster sauce mixture. mix well.
