Temptation of THAI Food~~TOM YAM

Thai Tom Yam Fried Rice

Hmmm...Do you like hot and spicy food? If you are a spice lover like me, you will sure enjoy the tastiness of Thai-style Tom Yam.

Tom yam originated from Thailand. Tom yam is commonly used to make soups. We can easily find Tom Yam food at any stalls all around Malaysia. It is a very common food nowadays.

Thai Tom Yam Seafood

Tom Yam can cooked with noodles, vegetables, seafood, meats, and even used to fried rice. It has a distinct hot and sour flavors, some fragrant herbs are used such as lemon grass, kaffir lime leaves, fish sauce, lime juice and chili peppers. The soup is often topped with chopped coriander leaves.

Tom yum is usually made with prawns (Tom Yam Goong), chicken (Tom Yam Gai), fish (Tom Yam Pla), or mixed seafood (Tom Yam Po Taek).

Now we can easily make Tom Yam food by our own. We just need to buy commercial tom yam paste from any supermarkets. This paste is made by crushing all the herb ingredients and stir-frying in oil. Then, we can cook our Tom Yam by using the ready-made paste.

I didn't lie......It really taste wonderful!!! Slurrppp~~~XD

JAPAN popular dish~~SUSHI

Sushi is nowadays quite famous food in Malaysia. We got Sushi King, YO! Sushi, Sushi Zanmai, Sakae Sushi, and lots more Japanese restaurant all over Malaysia.

What is sushi? Vinegar-seasoned Japanese rice is the main ingredient of sushi. Raw fish (Shashimi) is among the most popular ingredient used in making sushi. There are many kinds of sushi, such as Nigiri, Gunkan, Maki, Temaki. Various other ingredients can be combined in sushi which include cooked fish, shellfish, crabstick, omelette, fish roe, fresh vegetables, etc.

Sushi is not only tasty, it is also nutritious and healthy. Sushi is low in fat. The fish in sushi provides protein. Vegetables are a great source of vitamins. Seaweed (nori) is rich in iodine. And rice provides complex carbohydrates.

There are places called kaiten, where the sushi plates circle around the eating area on a conveyor belt. I prefer to sit around kaiten and wait for my favourite sushi to reach me and then I will grab the plates from the moving belt. Sometimes I will make order if my favourite is not moving on the belt. The types or colors of plate which sushi pieces are on indicate prices of sushi. Normally, I will avoid picking up expensive sushi, just to save money. =)

Green tea or Ocha is the best drink with sushi. Nitsume is sweet sauce used for dipping sushi. Soy sauce has more salty taste. Wasabi which has extremely strong flavour and spicy hot is suitable in complimenting sushi, especially raw fish sushi.

So, do you feel like grabbing a sushi now?

KOREAN Cuisine~~Bibimbap

Jeonju Bibimbap Dolsot Bibimbap

I love korean dishes very much. I went Korean restaurant especially for Bibimbap, which is a very popular Korean dish. Bap is a Korean word for rice and bi bim means to stir or mix together. Bibimbap literally means "mixed rice."

In Korea, they serve Bibimbap as a great winter dish. It's easy to make and not as spicy as most Korean food. It has slightly sweet taste which is very mouth-watering to me.

Bibimbap has many variety. Most common is Dolsot Bibimbap and Jeonju Bibimbap. Dolsot Bibimbap serves in a sizzling-hot stone bowl, while Jeunjo Bibimbap serves in a metal bowl. The dolsot makes the rice crispy and chewy.

Bibimbap consists of steam rice, topped with assorted fresh vegetables and then marinated along with a small amount of meat. Fainally, it is topped with a half baked egg added into the bowl. A paste called 'gochujang' is mixed together while stirring all ingredients together thoroughly before eating.

If you have never tried bibimbap, you’ve been missing out one of the tastiest dishes in Korean cuisine. Although it is a quite simple dish, but in reality the combination of ingredients used to make this dish turn out to be something surprising, wonderful and remarkably healthy.

And it’ll all taste good– that much I can promise you.
