LOBSTER IN SPICY SAUCE RECIPE - Chinese New Year Recipes

INGREDIENTS:

One 1-kg Lobster

1 piece Ginger (Shredded)

4 stalks Spring Onion (Shredded)

3 pieces Garlic (Sliced)

3 small Onions (Minced)

1/2 Tbsp Corn Starch

SEASONING:

3/4 glass Chicken Stock

1 tsp Salt

3 tsp Sugar

2 Tbsp Ketchup

1 tsp Chilli Oil

1 tsp Chinese Vinegar

1 Tbsp Chinese Wine ("Hua Tiao")

HOW TO COOK LOBSTER WITH SPICY SAUCE
Insert a chopstick from the tail of lobster into the body. (This ensures that the lobster does not curl up when cooked but instead, will lie straight.)
Wash the lobster thoroughly. Chop lobster into big pieces. Crack pincers lightly.
Mix the pieces of lobster evenly with corn starch in a container.
Pour enough cooking oil (corn oil / peanut oil) to parboil the lobster into a wok. Heat the oil until it is hot.
Slowly slide the lobster pieces into the hot oil to lightly cook it. Be careful not to overcook the lobster.
Remove the lobster pieces from the wok and drain excess oil from it.
Scoop the oil out of the wok, leaving only about 3 Tbsp of oil.
Heat the wok until the oil is hot. Saute the onion, ginger and garlic until fragrant. Slide in the lobster to stir fry.
Mix the seasoning together and gently pour the mixture into the wok.
Cover the wok with lid and simmer till gravy nearly dries up.
Sprinkle the spring onion over the dish and stir well.
Remove and serve.

i want to say something

wanna say something before i forgot.

First, is about the development done by the new government in my state. There isn’t any, or I can’t see any big radical changes they promised before the election. All the projects and programs they are doing right now are the programs initiated by the previous government.

I think they should be more creative and coming out with breakthrough and revolutionary changes and think of development rather than staying safe with incremental and muddling through the old establishment's program. After all that is the reason why people choose them in the first place.

They want change!

Its been a while since the election, and nothing big ever happen really. Most people would say, its not fair because they are new and must give them ample time to adjust and comes out with strong state economic policy. However one should remember, they are walking into the office on a red carpet, and every infrastructures and facilities are being shoved in their face, unlike those previous one who need to develop theirs from scratches.

Not saying the old one is better, but the new one seems rather… well, the same.

But one thing I see is all the states assembly men are getting a bloody expensive plush exciting Toyota Camry.

For what ever fucking hell they do that?

And why do you need a toyota camry?


Are they getting more creative, vigor and productive driving a camry?

You tell me.


Secondly, I would want to say something about Obama, and we are all very happy looking at him, and thought what a wonderful man he is, and how he could be the new savior of world civilization and repair all the nonsense made by Bush.

One thing I would like to remind everyone, being the first black president, obama would have to be a very populist type of leaders and he would be restricted with lots of tensions and pressure from his lobbyist, political watch dog and also from his shadow cabinet i.e the republican.

And being a Christian and being born by a muslim parents and brought up in a muslim country, Obama cannot be showing too much sympathy to the muslim because he would be seen as supporting the muslim community, read : terrorist (in the eyes of the mat salleh), and being a non muslim himself, he should not be to sympathize with muslim at all, and that add the square roots to all the necessary evil (read: war and economics restriction, not the religion. all religion teaches about good deed)

It is just a simple mathematics and logic.

He might not agree with war, unlike his predecessor, but to keep the police state and world hero status of America and the Americans, he somehow need to exert some level of force to the muslim, read: terrorist country.

Justto reminds everyone, remember this picture.

Always remember this picture.

He is not what you think he is!!!

Fresh Oysters from Lebanon!

We were craving fresh oysters my sister and I, so we drove to Byblos (Jbeil) and got from one of the fishermen fresh oysters. We bought 4 dozens, came back home, opened a bottle of 'La Dame Blanche' of 'Chateau Kefraya' my favorite Lebanese winery :) and then in no time, ate them all!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh, I almost forgot to mention that they taste great with fresh squeezed lemons :)

No update.

i dont know what to blog, because i lost the connecting wires to my camera and handphone.

phewwww.

Oh by the way, i bought 2 British India's shirts that was earlier priced at RM400 something and RM500 something each, then it was discounted to 200 something and then it is discounted with another 70 percent of the discounted price.

that is a lot of discount i tell you.

Yes, to show that the price of the shirt is very expensive they did not take out the previous price tag, instead they stick new one on top, and another one on top of it. So with some cautious handwork, we can work our way to the first layer stickers, and quickly snatched it from the rack thinking you are getting a good bargain, but instead you are actually buying a 3 year old consignment shirt and the tailor person tailoring the shirt in vietnam, or china or, india might have passed away few years ago.

But you don't really care about it since you think its cheap affordable.

But the quality of the shirt is good and the material is so nice when it touches to body, you feel so comfortable and sexy and because its British India and its supposed to be very expensive, you kinda have this feeling that you suddenly turn very handsome and dashing wearing it, like a frog changing to a prince kinda feeling, but actually you don't, instead you still look like a toad. Branded clothes have aura of its own, and it makes the wearer feel more confident.

So basically i bought a RM900 over pricccccedzzzeedd shirt for only a fraction of the price.

I dont really like it though. I like the other one, but they dont give discount to those shirt that look nice. They are not stupid, that is why they can afford to stick an outrageous price tag and still managed to sell lousy cotton shirt.


But, i still bought it, because why..


Because its British India!!!


Period.


So, what are you waiting for? Sales in British India, hurry up be a kiasu and go and buy unwanted things.
