HomeCook Recipe @ Bandar Puteri, Puchong

Ice Lemongrass. Awesome, I never taste something like this before. A combination of lemongrass, mint and lemon. Cooling and refreshing..........tasty..........

















Home Made Taufu With Fish Paste. It is crispy on the outside and soft inside. And the best is to eat while it is still hot..........yummy..............






















Sambal Spinach Soup. With the combination of sambal as gravy, even it didn't have much of the sauce's taste, but the flavour is unique and definitely different from the usual stir fry vegetable.
















This is one of my favorite. Chilly Hard Scale Fish, the fish is fried till very crispy on the outside but the sambal paste and fish flesh still juicy in the inside. It is fresh and tender and not salty at all. Served with extra sambal for those who like it EXTRA HOT............like me..........
