A Late Birthday Post
Visited my Sis' place one weekend a few weeks ago, to pass over their Japan souvenirs I bought during our vacation to Japan last year and surprise! They had a birthday cake ready for Raimie to celebrate his birthday, which was on Dec 2nd.
The birthday cake
The birthday cake and the birthday boy
My Dad had asked us to come back during the Christmas weekend because there were plenty of durians at home but we were unable to do so. Didn't miss the opportunity to eat "kampung" durian though, as the durians made its way to our home - courtesy of my Sis. Her car probably smelled of durians for weeks, after transporting a car boot full of them from our hometown to KL! xD
Raimie sure blew a lot of candles and ate a lot of birthday cakes for his 9th birthday. *^-^*
Anyway, some random photo of yesterday's dinner. It looked totally ugly but it taste good. I promise! ;)
Raimie specifically asked me to cook salmon with garlic and cheese (yup, he dictated the ingredients) so I decided that a foil-baked salmon would be best. I didn't have lemon so I decided to use one item that is in abundance at the moment - I used mandarin orange juice instead! Olive oil was substituted with sesame oil. kakaka
Well, the salmon tasted just fine and the boys (that's hubby and son, if you are wondering) ate everything that can be eaten. >^_^<
And what did I serve the salmon with? With Nasi Goreng (fried rice). Fusion, eh? (^O^)

Oh! ten days later is my bday! ;) *hints* haha
ReplyDeleteOh, I thought that last photo was one of a rotten durian :))
Happy belated birthday! ;)
Deletehaha, so how late was that birthday celebration?? err, can also lah, as long as there's a cake with his name written on it, can close one eye and rewind the time~~ :p
ReplyDeleteNot that late lah... celebrated it in Dec month. I was just very late in making a post of it. xD
Deletethose durians look different to me, they are in silver color?? haha.. or it's your RM400 phone camera?? haiyoh, go and get your iPhone so you can have photos with vivid colors already~~
ReplyDeleteLook different because all the "isi" gone already! I only remember to take photo after we ate everyhting up. You see only the "sampah" LOL
Deletehahaha!! look how evil i am, keep influencing and persuading you to get a new iPhone.. wakakakaka!!! huhuhuhuhu~~ :p
ReplyDeletememang *evil*!
DeleteI figured, I might as well use the non-existent money for the iPhone to buy a Garmin GPS watch instead. ;)
wow, garlic and cheese baked salmon!! that's very nice indeed.. i didn't know we need to add lemon juice.. so that's gadis recipe??
ReplyDeletegot what! You see recipes with lemon juice one. It adds the acidity for a nicer taste. ;p
DeleteI just happen to like changing the ingredients to whatever happen to be in my kitchen. kakaka
huhuhu, mandarin orange juice?? not really fusion lah, until you use love letters to garnish the salmon then this is really fusion~~ :D
ReplyDeleteThe fusion part was eating a baked salmon with nasi goreng lar... ^^ lucky no added sambal belacan on the side too. hahaha
DeleteAdd love letters to the salmon. That would be "interesting". You dare to eat? :)
Oooh, SK posted a lot of comments in a row hehehe
ReplyDeleteHow cool is that! ;p
Hey! I'm cool also! I posted a lot of comments in one row over at SK's too. muahahah!!!
DeleteI am so jealous of the new comment system because my blog is still stuck with the old one since it uses a custom template which I created
DeleteUpdate your template! ^^
DeleteThat's another cute photo of Raimie! He's going to have to accept that in Japan there's a doting obachan who thinks he's the cutest boy definitely in Asia, possibly in the world. ;)
ReplyDeleteI've heard so much about durian. I know it smells bad. What does it actually taste like? Impossible to describe?
For me durian tastes like a bittersweet, cheese custard but with a pungent smell. There are a lot of varieties but most are very rich in texture. The smell? Try putting a few in your home for a few nights, and you sinus gets cleared up! xD
DeleteRaimie - he doesn't mind doting obachan but he won't take any notice to girls.
At a glance, I thought you used durians for your fish! Come to think of it, both do sometimes look similar. You think they smell similar too?
ReplyDeleteOf course not! Imagine durians smelling like a fish. kakaka
DeleteI wonder how would a fish taste combine with durian? Blergh? xD
wahhhhh cun kek nya, harus sodap tu.. durian kampungggg !! akak sukakkkkkk..
ReplyDeletekih3 salmon tu nampak sodapppppp jugekss :D
Durian kampung the best! Especially kalau durian kampung tu free! Muahaha
DeleteIkan tu memang sodap.... sekali pandang macam ikan masak lemak,ek? kekeke
Wow! I want durians!!! : D
ReplyDeleteWah! So creative - using mandarin orange juice instead of lemon? Still taste good? Haha!
ReplyDeleteSalmon with nasi goreng? Yum! Yum! I want!!! Add in the durians too! Haha!
ReplyDelete@foong,
ReplyDeleteSalmon and mandarin orange - OK what. The slight acidity and sweetness is good como with the saltiness of the soy sauce and cheese I throw in on the salmon. xD
Durian and fish? You sure that's a good combo? ;p
