#Sambal Ikan Bilis (Anchovies)

Sambal Ikan Bilis is one of the popular accompaniment for the Malaysia Nasi Lemak dish.

Try 'em at home over the weekend! :)

INGREDIENTS

1 bowl Anchovies (Ikan Bilis) - wash, drain & pat dry

1 large Red Onion (slice)

Palm sugar (chopped)

15g Tamarind paste mixed with 1/2 cup of water, discard the solids

1 tablespoon Belacan powder / Belacan cube

Salt to taste

Cooking Oil

CHILI PASTE

3. Next, heat up the frying pan with oil and fry the anchovies until golden brown and crispy. Remove from pan and dry the excess oil with a paper towel.

4. In a clean frying pan, add some oil and put in the blended chili paste. Use medium heat as the paste tends to burn easily.

5. When the chili paste starts to change slightly darker in color, add in the palm sugar and stir.

6. Then, add in the belacan powder and continue stirring.

7. Add in the sliced red onion and stir again.

8. After that, put in the tamarind water and mix well.

9. Season with salt to taste. If you prefer a sweeter #sambal, you may add in more sugar.

10. Lastly, mix in the fried anchovies.

11. Your #sambal is now ready. Enjoy!

Here's a video that I've prepared for your viewing.

Happy Cooking :)

#DINEWITHME: THE PENTHOUSE RESTAURANT & WINE BAR | SS15, SUBANG JAYA (KL)

Whooppsss...I just had my dinner! What am I doing here? Come on, it's Friday! Let's chill a 'lil - Dinner extended. To be frank, I don't have much time to spend around ever since I've joined an award-winning agency few months ago. Life's pretty hectic everyday, with extreme workload and countless days of overtime. And just because I have relocated myself to another area, my hangout place changes too. What makes the best option would be the one nearest to my office, with less traffic congestion. Thanks to my bunch of friends whom always put me on a priority, they make the effort to come to a meeting point near me instead. I was brought to this restaurant the other day by my friends and I found it quite a waste not to share such an interesting place with all of you. Let me introduce you to - THE PENTHOUSE RESTAURANT & WINE BAR. Upon walking in, I was amazed by their simple yet welcoming ambiance. I was ushered in by rows of wine displ...

#DINEWITHME: YUK SOU HIN | WEIL HOTEL (IPOH)

Done with my busy schedules, I finally have the time to sit down and blog about my dining experience at YUK SOU HIN @ WEIL HOTEL (IPOH) which took place about two months ago. I was being invited by the hotel's PR Team at the first place to drop by and review the dim sum which was spearheaded by their Hong Kong Master Chef, Mr. Chung Ho Shi but unfortunately I'm unable to attend. Later after that, I visited the restaurant with my mum when I dropped by in Ipoh the other day. It was a busy morning. We went to the restaurant around 11am without any advance reservation, and it took us about 25 minutes to settle down with a table. The restaurant was packed with customers that day, due to Public Holiday. Not my first dining experience at Weil Hotel, YUK SOU HIN is the final restaurant to wrap up my adventure at this new hotel besides than THE DECK and TIFFIN . Bored while waiting, I started to explore around and tappin...
