Potato Salad

This time, i'm going to share with u all, the potato salad. This is a simple and yet delicious dish to make for party or even normal dinner.


The pictures below will guide u, i hope.



Mayonnaise, Rice Vinegar (Black vinegar can be used too), Tomato Sauce & Black Pepper.
(Butter can be added to bring out the flavours and to smooth the potatoes)



1st, boil the unpeeled potatoes with salt water, until the potatoes are soft.
(Tips: once the potatoes are done, transfer them into chilled / cool water for easier peeling of the skin later)


Then, boil the eggs, this can be done simultaneously with the potatoes, provided the pot / pan is large enough.


Meanwhile, fry the lunchoen meat / ham until cripsy golden brown.
(In my case, i use lunchoen meat, cause ham is damn expensive in M'sia)


After removal of the potato skin, cube them together with the peeled eggs. Place them into a big mixing bowl / pot.


Next, finely chop some spring onions / green shallots.
(Add a lot of spring onions if u like the taste. It'll do wonderful job in the potato salad.)

Now, chopping the luncheon meat. (The meat tense to scream in pain when i cut them.) *That's the sound effect from the crispy-ness of the luncheon meat*

Finally, place all the potatoes, eggs, spring onions, luncheon meat, maiyonese, black pepper, rice vinegar, tomato ketchup and butter (if desired) in a large bowl / pot. Mix well.

The final product.

(Note: This salad can be served right away, while its still hot, or served chilled, after refrigerated.)

My 2009's 2-14

This is how i spent my 2-14... at home :)





Below are the pictures of my V-day meal (with my gf of course):


Soup of the day: Mushroom soup with garlic toast.
Appetizer: Pork ham with salad (capsicum, carrot & onion).
(The garlic toast is a type of ready made crackers from Meiji, i discovered in Brunei)





Wine of the night: Wombat Hill's Cabernet Merlot.
(Wine: Can turn an ordinary evening into one so memorable that you cant even remember it)




Main dish: Striploin steak with mushroom sauce.
(I wanted tenderloin but it was sold out. I've no choice but to go for striploin)



Medium done, just the perfect texture to go with red wine.
Dessert: Apple pie with strawberry yogurt dressing.
(Believe me or not, that heart shape apple pie is from McD)

TM Net

I've problem with my streamyx since 24th Jan, until today.

TM have sent their technicians a few times to my place, but i wasnt in Miri.

Until this morning, the problem still wasnt solved. I called up the technician and they came to my house, without informing me. WTF is that?!?!?

I called to check with them during lunch hour, and this is what they told me "we were there, no one's home, we cant do nothing"

Then i answered "Why didnt u guys give me a call? U guys just leave without informing me that u guys were there, and no one's home?" WTF, right?

I called all the technicians i can contact. By 5pm, when i reached home from work, they sent not 1, not 2, but 3 TM vans to my house...

They check and check and check.... and the conclusion "There's nothing wrong with ur line, sir. We think the problem is with ur account"

WTF WTF WTF~~~~~

I called 100 after dinner and they finally solved the problem for me.

For some stupiak / funny reason, i lost my old password. May be some kinda "Alien" stole it fro me while i was sleeping???

And now i'm thinking, why cant they just try to reset my password at the 1st place?
Why have to go through so much trouble to solve such simple problem?

Chinese New Year 2009

I went back to my hometown, Kuching to welcome the year of OX. (Chinese New Year 2009)
