An urban (hectic?!) life of an interior designer

I’ve been so excited to get my hand on my new oven.

So, as you can guess my groceries shopping list will be extra RM this month. That  included salmon cut, which I always loved since I first had them at Ikea. (Only people closed to me know i don’t eat fish other than mom’s home cooked, well, at least before I had that amazing salmon)

After taking a good rest a while at home, I started to work at my tiny kitchen,  peeling potatoes and carrot and cut them into cubes.

The potatoes got half boiled before i put them in the oven and let it bake with a chunck of butter for a while.

melted butter on kentang already made me drooling

Next, i got my carrot and broccoli ready in the steamer pot after seasoning with salt.

I don’t actually have any specific recipe but I kinda remember something from Jamie and Laura Calder, how they made it look so easy and taste good at the same time. One thing I remembered well was basil or parsley works well with fish.

So, after I got my salmon cut cleaned and pat them with salt and pepper then sprinkle with basil and parsley herb. I also rub anchovies to the salmon before drizzle them with olive oil.

After I the potatoes almost done in the oven, I place the salmon cut on top of them and  juz before i started to bake them in 3 mins i drizzle them once more with infused basil olive oil.

Meanwhile, I get the tomato gravy heated on the stove.

It worked.

Baked salmon wonderful aroma lingered in the kitchen which I  immediately served them with steamed carrot and broccoli as side dishes. I also drizzle them with extra salmon lovely broth which combined perfectly together.

Hmm…looked good didn’t they? Taste amazingly delicious too! Ehem! Ehem! Not that I’m proud or what, but my husband just can’t stop saying how delicious it was! For a while i felt like Laura Calder…kekekeke….

As a final dressing, I also finished them with lemon wedge which surprisingly add the tanginess taste to complete the combination of herbs & tomato that satisfied my taste bud. Yummy!

Done looking the above photos..?  Yes, they are all chocolates..! There are so many variety that u’ll become drooling juz by thinking of which one to pick!

But the thing is…err…to be frank…(kalo korang tau mesti marah nie..kata aku poyo atau sbgnya…I actually didn’t try the choc, not even one of them..! please spare me, let me explain y..!)

And this is y:

now that you knw y...

We were having a main course, for I selected Prima Vera consist of Bake Salmon & Wasabi, and Zul get his favourite lamb sirloin. But for those who are not prepare to be surprised (just like Zul), the gravy is chocolate sauce… yes…chocolate…!

Once I actually watched the Iron Chef on channel 703, where there’s one episode their challenge is to cook beef  in french style, and the challenger choose to marinate them in chocolate! She explained that this is their traditional meal. I wonder how it taste back then.

But now, that I tasted it, its actually not bad, for a change. They served the lamb sirloin with potato rustee and salad and thyme herbs which I taste blend quite well. The sirloin was tender but Zul didn’t really fancy the gravy. Well, some people just don’t i guess. He even asked the waiter if he can change to black pepper next time! hehehe

As for my dish, the baked salmon was served with the wasabi & rosemary herb, so taste is quite fusion. However, I would say I love Pizza Uno’s baked salmon better. By the way, Uno’s using gravy in tomato based. (Abang…na makan kt Uno lak bole?…muaks)

peanut butter mocha romeo ice-blended..or so i tot it's called...

The ice-blended is sooooo….yummy! The crush is so smooth, but you can taste the chunk peanut butter blended with mocha goes really well together as the taste is so creamy & rich. (owh, feel like having one right now!)

And after having ice blended, we are so full that we can’t even think of any food! (yup, almost forgot, we did have the best thick and creamy mushroom soup for stater and that’s another reason y..) And that is why we didn’t have the choc…

Mushroom soup

Well, maybe next time…

As the service is very good, out of 5, i give 4 point overall.

the interior is quite fresh, loves the donut pattern fabric

They even have this spot surrounded by string curtain...romantic is the feeling u get in here

P/S: If anyone has try the choc., kindly let me know how it taste!

Cheers…!
