BERGEDEL OR POTATO PATTIES

Bergedel is a malay savoury potato patties that everyone loves to eat. This recipe was obtained from a relative indonesian domestic helper. Well, she kind of roughly explained the required ingredients & cooking process. There was no exact measurement of ingredients, everything based on estimation, but tasted really good! All gone in no time at the dining table.

A simple but tasty recipe!

Ingredients:
Potato
Chicken meat (minced)
Onion (chopped & fry till golden brown)
Spring onion (chopped)
Egg (beaten)
Salt/pepper

Method:
1. Cut potato into half & deep fry till cooked. Drain away the oil.
2. In a large bowl, mesh the cooked potato, then add the chicken meat, fried onion, spring onion, salt/pepper & mix till well blended.
3. Form into small size patties.
4. Coat patties in beaten egg & pan fry till golden brown.

CHICKEN CURRY WITH ROTI PRATA

Home-cooked Curry Chicken with lots of potato goes very well with crispy roti prata.

I used 1pkt ready-made  curry paste, added another 2tbs chilli powder & 2tbs turmeric powder for that extra spicy kick!

You may follow the instructions on any curry paste packet to add the amount of water required. 

The rest would be fried potato, chicken meat, tomato, onion, curry leaves etc, and boil till all ingredients are cooked. It's that simple!!

Pan fried frozen pizza is crispy & taste good too!!

BANANA CREPE

This is my very 1st time in making crepe. I goggled to find the best recipe but ended with much disappointment. (Not all recipes on the internet turned out right) 
For the crepe, I topped with banana slices and drizzled some melted Hershey chocolate. This picture looks lovely & yummy, but crepe tasted dry and not so soft; sad, sad...however, I will keep this beautiful shot and try another recipe again next time.

SEGAR RESTAURANT

Recently I visited this "zichar" restaurant at Chinatown Point for a dinner with family members. Assam Curry Fish Head was highly recommended by my relatives who has tasted some of their zichar dishes not long ago. I noticed that their food portion here is rather small, enough for 2-3 persons.

Assam Curry Fish Head @$20

Assam Curry Fish Head was indeed my favourite dish. The gravy was super shiokkk...spicy and piping hot! The amount of gravy was quite a lot; good to go with the rice. The size of fish head was average, and the only setback was the limited pieces of vegetables in it. 

Sambal Kangkong @$8

I love the Sambal Kangkong! Quite spicy and delicious, but portion rather small.

Hotplate Beancurd @ $12

The Hotplate Beacurd dish was a let down...it was pale in colour and tasted average. Everyone felt it was rather expensive for this simple vegetable dish.

Bittergourd Omelet @$8

Bittergourd Omelet was rather thin, although it was spread out wide on the entire plate. I would prefer thicker in texture. 

During my dinner there, observed that many of their customers were small families or couples. There were a few big rounded tables and many smaller squared tables to cater for big and small group diners.
They do have claypot dishes, and I will try these on my next visit. Again, Assam Curry Fish Head was yummy & @$20 it was quite reasonable, no service charge here! Must try!!
