How many ways can you eat Roti Canai???

Do you like it dipped in yummy curry?

OR:
maybe you don’t like spicy food. In that case, how about served
with a sprinkling of sugar??

OR:
Eat it the way my toddler does - the East meets West Roti Canai.
Dip it in applesauce!!

So what is your favorite way to eat roti canai?? : p

Recipe:
Ingredients:
400g all purpose flour
40g butter, cut up into small pieces
1/2 tsp salt
3 tablespoon condensed milk
1 egg
3/4 cup water - adjust accordingly to your environment and flour
oil for soaking and shapingMethod:
I used the easy way out & put everything into my breadmaker. Then remove and form into balls. Soak the balls of dough in oil for at least 4 hrs or more. Take a ball and place it on a well-oiled surface. Start stretching the dough as thin as possible, taking care not to make any holes in it. Once thin enough, sprinkle some oil on top or in my case, some egg & onion before folding it up into a square. Pan fry till brown.

The Police recently released a 2 disc compilation CD on June 5th. When you buy the Police Cd, you will also get a vintage poster. How cool!! I will definitely have to check it out. The Police were very popular in the 1980s when I was in school. Listening to their songs bring back a lot of nice memories.

Then don’t wait, go out and get one today!!

Got tagged by Cooking Momster for my favorite food. Hmm.. that’s a real toughie!! How to choose a favorite when there’s so many yummy food out there?? : ) Since I have to make only one choice, I would have to say my favorite food is probably a bowl of steaming hot Clam Chowder with a loaf of freshly-baked baguette.

Took this pic from my March post since I haven’t had the time to visit my favorite chowder store Pike Place Chowder lately. A lot of places sell Clam Chowder but what makes this Clam Chowder different is that it is loaded with clams and assorted vegetables. Some Clam Chowder I’ve eaten is more like potato soup with a clam or two. According to their website, they have won quite a few awards for their Clam Chowder.

This is also one of Lil’ C’s favorite food. When we first moved here in the middle of the cold winter and was staying in downtown Seattle, we used to walk to Pike Place Chowder at least 2 or 3 times a week to buy the chowder. The hot chowder was such a comfort in the cold days. But now that we’ve moved away, we haven’t been able to do. Will definitely have to find the time to go & get some of these chowders one of these days.

I think most people have already done this tag. So I’m just gonna tag these beautiful ladies. Would like to know what you like to eat in your part of the world!

Unfortunately, a lot of my spring roll wrapper decided to open up during the frying process. Anyone knows the trick to frying the perfect spring roll????? : )

Did you know that when salmon are ready to spawn, they go back to their birthplace to do that?? To me, that is so interesting! In their lifetime, they’ve probably travelled thousands of miles around the world. So how do they managed to find their way back? Smart fishes, eh? Anyway, I digress..back to food. : )

Using this recipe from Allrecipes.com, I pan-fried the salmon on high heat till a crispy crust forms. Then I glazed it with a little teriyaki glaze.
