Because it's exams period, I no longer cook elaborate dishes. At one point all I had was tom yam noodles every other day and maggi. Safe to say by the end of that week I had a mild fever -_-'
Pisang: I think you ate too much tom yam. That's why your body is all heat-y inside.
So I stayed away from tom yam for awhile.. Also partly because my noodles dah habis..
You'd think tomyam noodles are hard to make. Noooope. Tom yam paste, water, kaffir lime leaves, whatever protein you wanna put in, fish oil, chilli, salt & sugar (if necessary & according to taste), and bring everything to boil then put in your noodles and leave it to boil for another 10-15 minutes (depending on the type of noodles). Simple! And much healthier than your 5 minutes maggi!
So yeah, this is as "elaborate" as I get in terms of my meals for this exams period. If not I'm maggi or take-out dependent. Which the former makes my Mum nag, "Tak elok lah makan maggi banyak sangat!" & the latter drains my money out like water because I'm the kind of person who can't eat the same meal for lunch and dinner, so yeah.. Go figure..
Today I decided to eat something else for a change. So I took out my chicken dippers from the freezer, popped them up into the oven. Then I thought of what to have with them. Pasta? Cannot, no sauce. Noodles? Tom yam noodles do not go with nuggets! Mee goreng? Malas lah nak masak.. Hrmmm, okay lah, nasi jer lah and kicap.
So I did exactly that! Along with one telur goreng.
And you know what guys, you can have all the gourmet meals and international cuisine and whatever but for me, nothing beats telur goreng, kicap, and nasi.
Best. Dish. Ever!
(Though this is coming from a girl who spent her entire childhood eating only that and refusing to eat anything else w/o kicap on it til her own grandmother had to tell her that all her organs inside will turn black and then she'll be dark skinned to make her stop eating kicap so much, so you know, she might be biased.. Might..)
