this site is sort of like our "Cook Book", where we share random amateur recipes, from ready-mix pancakes (Coles) to the exquisite "Ketam Kari".... well, i would say that our menu are mostly dari babu-babu punya... anak-anaknya pandai-pandai me-alterlah... some stuff original pulang :PPP

the idea came about pasal kami ani suka M&M (Masak&Makan) together-gether. hehe... sebenarnya Ms. BB pulang yang masak tu.. the rest suka makan.. :P i think it's fair to say that kami ani masak main antam ganya... :P huhu... and btw, anything eatable is postable!!

"Grilled Turmeric Prawn with Chickpea Salad

bought 6 banana prawns last friday. just 6 prawns! can u believe? haha! and it cost me AUD$3. if i'm not mistaken it was AUD $14 per kilo. i know it is high in cholesterol but terseliurku. bukan selalukan... so that's why i just bought a few. kata orang supaya inda kempunan :P

i did mention in my previous post that i wanted to have wholemeal mustard chicken with spinach salad for today's dinner but i guess i'll prepare that one next time. i'm actually sick of chicken! nah! kidding. chicken breast is good!

so yeah... for tonight's meal, i made turmeric prawn. usually, i like to stir-fry prawns but now, i go for grilled prawns. also, i didn't wanna serve it with rice just now, so i made chickpea salad. nice healthy meal again tonight. and it's very quick to prepare!
