Steamed Arrowhead with Waxed Duck 腊鸭蒸慈菇- Arrowhead Week#1

3 years back, when I did my arrowhead chips post, I did say I want to do a few recipes using Arrowheads.
Finally I did it this year :) I'm a slow blogger, LOL. Very slow.

This is a dish introduced to me by my “ 3 Kow Mou”, the wife of my mother’s 3rd brother. That's how we call them in Cantonese.

Seremban Beef Noodles - MFF N9 #3



2nd attempt: Way too generous until one can't see the noodles!



This is one of the most famous noodles of Seremban. I had my first taste of it more than 15 years ago.
And when the idea of MFF was concieved, this was the first thing I wanted to cook for Negeri Sembilan. There are a few places to eat this in Seremban and the most popular was the one at the Wet Market.

Ikan Goreng Bercili ~Fried Fish with Chillies- MFF N9 #2



hehehehe, I missed those scales on the fish's scalp

This is another favourite of mine of the Minang cuisine!

Normally ikan keli (catfish) and Tilapia is used, but then again, any fish can be used. Maybe these 2 fishes are more affordable. But catfishes are more 'buttery' compared to Tilapia. Whenever I see this dish being available at Padang Cuisine Restaurants, I can't help but take one. I must take one, LOL.

Ayam Masak Lemak Cili Api ~ Chicken in Bird's Eye Chilli and Coconut Gravy - MFF N9#1

Negeri Sembilan is a very special state with a strong Minangkabau culture. It's nice to be born as a girl in a Minang family. They practise girl-power, LOL.... and you get to inherit, instead of the guys.

Besides being known for it's horned roof houses, it is famous for it's fiery dishes. It should be so fiery that you can feel your ears hissing, LOL. But then again, you can always tune it down. But that's how fiery it should be.

MFF Pahang Round Up

Hello 2013!

This month has been hectic for me. Picking up the job of hosting this month was done rather hastily and I'm sorry that I didn't spend as much time preparing for it.

Even though many are busy preparing for Christmas and holiday mood is all around, I'm glad that that the entries this month is encouraging.

When I set the schedule... I purposely selected December for Pahang because I knew it'll be durian season, and true enough, this year, there was a bounty harvest. When durians are abundant and cheap, it's time to bake with them.

Even though Pahang has many interesting recipes to try, but there was indeed the popular few. And this month, I have sorted them according to dish... let the same dishes stay together :)

The Pahang Facebook event page has been having good response too, with non bloggers joining us in the event and Guangxi style chicken is the most popular among them. It's nice to spread some recipe ideas around and infect people with it, LOL. I hope more will be infected in the months to come.
