kfc :) kansas fried chicken.. and kcc...kansas chili crab ..heheh

well, this weekend takder gi memana. dok rumah jer. sean ada kursus kan...so just stay at home with the girls. apa yang i buat pun i dah tak ingat..which means that perhaps, i was not doing anything productive eh..hahaha. anyway, this was tonights menu :) semalam cakap kat sean..dah lama i tak buat ayam goreng bertepung ala KFC..hehe...so here it is..kansas fried chicken :) yang lauk kat bawah tu..well, that was before puasa lah..tekak i nak makan chili crab..beli 4 ekor..i bedal sorang :) yang lain seme tak nak makan....sebab leceh..yang sarah pulak..tak nak makan tapi nak pegang2 buat main..kena hepp dengan i..hahahhaa.

the recipe for the chicken kan..senang jer...i pakai tepung kentucky yang i beli online..hahaha. i suka that seasoned flour. nak buat sendiri mmg boleh..pernah buat pun, but i like the lighter but crispy coating when you use ready made seasoned flourlah. nak kasi extra garing kan, you need to coat the dried cut up chicken dulu with a bit of the flour..then baru you masuk kan the beaten egg white..gaul rata then baru coat individually and fry it. i also marinate the meat a bit with salt and pepper for about an hour or so :) tapi siap ah..minyak all over the place when you fry this..hahahaha. tapi sedap makan neyr pasal kan..itu minyak seme boleh lap later2 :)

this is the flaky biscuits...senang nak buat dia. less then 5 minutes, the dough dah siap..twenty minutes later, dah masak dah. kat sana ada popeye kan..kat sini popeye tak leh makan lah..hahaha. terpaksa buat sendiri..pair it with the country gravy like the above nyer gambar. the recipe for this biscuits:

2 cups flour
1 stick ( 1/2 cup cold butter)
1 tsp salt
1 tbs baking powder
3/4 cup milk

directions:
mix the dry ingredients together. then crumble the butter into the flour mixture and add the milk. use the handle of a wooden spoon to mix it all up, until it forms a ball...uli dengan lembut nyer eh..sebab kalau ganas sangat, this will be very hard. add a bit more milk kalau ada stray tepung yang tak melekap dengan the ball..the dough will be soft. then you roll it out to about 1/2 inch or an inch thickness and terap . i just use free hand sometimes. bulat2 kan and then flattened it. anyway, after that, you put it in a 400 degree oven and bake for like 15-20 minutes, until golden brown. dah jadi..make sure oven pre-heat dulu :) dah jadi biscuits :) you can add cheese to this to make cheesy biscuits too :)

i ni ketam minat jugak lah..but mmg jarang makan. that day when i bought this kan..it was after reading this small cookbook lah. teringin pulak nak makan chilli crab like yang kat seafood restaurant kat sana too. resepi nampak simple jer :) so apa lagi..like i said, after years of observing that i am the only one eating this kan, i bought 4 small crabs and made this all for myself. finished it all in one sitting..hahaha. sapa tau yang tukang tengok i makan..sarah lerr..like i said, dia tak nak makan but instead wanted to just touch and play with the crabs :)

the is penang fried kway teow..okaylah, i used extra chillies :) again..i nyer hobby mmg suka baca buku masak2. itu kira bahan bacaan sebelum tido :) unless if there is a new book that is so good..baru i tak baca buku masak lah :) so since i ada kway teow kat dalam fridge..i made this for myself jugak. the girls tak minat kway toew..i think it is a textural thing. :) this one, i think kalau taruk oyster sauce will taste better. maklumlah, resepi calls for fresh prawns..i guess to lend the sweetness..i pulak mmg tak minat fresh prawn unless it is tempura nyer style..that i can eat many2..hahaha

suka i tengok nenas ni. i tengok kat walmart lawa..and it was like $2.50 for each. and these are big pineapples too..so beli lah dua biji. ingatkan nak buat air nenas lah..dah lama i tak minum air nenas. macam rindu pulak..but i pernah try buat, but tak rasa macam kat kedai. until just now..calling2 kak chom and she taught me how to make it..insyallah besok nak try buat lah :)

i bet kat sana dah sibuk dengan persiapan hari raya kan. mana shopping for karpet..mana pakcik karpet jual minyak kat anak dara sunti..hahahahahahhaha. sumi..i know the story..hahahahahahha. anyway, to all selamat menunaikan ibadah puasa..salah silap mintak mahap eh :)

cik sri..ni dia resepi seasoned fries eh :)

2 1/2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon garlic salt ( ni takder pun takper..pakai jer garlic powder kalau you ada)
1 teaspoon onion salt ( same goes for this one..pakai jer onion powder)
1 teaspoon salt ( kalau tak pakai the salts above..kena increase the amt of salt sikit lah yer..maybe like 1 1/2 to 2 tsp)
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 cup water, or as needed
1 cup vegetable oil for frying


Slice potatoes into French fries, and place into cold water so they won't turn brown while you prepare the oil.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. While the oil is heating, sift the flour, garlic salt, onion salt, (regular) salt, and paprika into a large bowl. Gradually stir in enough water so that the mixture can be drizzled from a spoon.

Dip potato slices into the batter one at a time, and place in the hot oil so they are not touching at first. The fries must be placed into the skillet one at a time, or they will clump together. Fry until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

selamat mencuba :)
