Roti Prata

Bought from Asian Grocery Store My first handmade Roti canai.

Malaysia's Roti Canai, is a pancake made of dough composed of fat, egg,

flour and water and prepared specially similarly to Roti Pratha.

You can't served without curry or, more rarely, with sugar or Condensed Milk.

In addition, although consumed at any time of the day by some locals,

I usually tend to consume it as a late night or early morning dish,

particularly at 24-hour outlets or Mamak stall.I have had a tough

time finding anything close to those foods here.

It was a challenge for me to made this Roti Canai all by myself.

This was my first attempt of making Roti Canai.

The outcome was crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.

So far, this is the simplest and delicious roti canai I ever made.I am proud of myself too.!
Enjoy a Roti Canai and Teh tarik for breakfast is a wonderful combination!!!

I bought this Authentic curry sauce during my vacation in Sabah,

Malaysia last March.It cost me around RM2.60.I had tried different

brand of packet curry sauce and I found this was the best and

delicious sauce I had tried so far.It's cheap and yet you don't

have to add coconut cream like others do...

why cuz it's already in the sauce itself.

This is why I like it so much...you don't have to spend

another penny for the coconut cream.

Carlifornia Roll

California roll is one of the most popular sushi rolls in the world although it isn't so popular in Japan. An unknown California chef, realizing that many Americans did not like the though of eating raw fish, created the now famous California Roll, made with crab, avocado, and cucumbers.The California roll has been influential in sushi's global popularity in canada as well.I have never heard of the California Roll before.One day,my sister in law ordered variations with unique name of sushi such as (Dynamite Rolls,B.C Rolls,Alaska Roll and California Rolls).
Ever since,my kids and I fell in love with California Rolls.I've always been afraid to try making California rolls because it looked so difficult...my family loves them SO much.Sushi making does requires a small amount of initial practice. I don't think I have the gut to try this out yet!
