Cous Klem
Mada and I are taking our first holiday together - well, more of a 'mini break' over to Norway next weekend to visit A&F for 4 days 3 nights. I really can't wait! Having booked the trip nearly six months ago, it felt like it was never going to come and now it's finaly (nearly) here! I can't wait to see 2 of my bestest friends from KL and for them to meet the love of my life too. Also, just to have some time away, just me and my man. It's going to be great :o)

Domestic Goddess?
As we didn't make it to the restaurant, I decided to make a dish from the Asian cookbook that my friends in KL bought me as a leaving gift. I came across it yesterday when having a massive purging session, throwing out old stuff from KL that was just silly to keep - yes, even down to my old Fitness First card and business cards - no point holding onto idol crap.
So I cooked Pork in peanut sauce! It was amazing, so fun to cook from scratch with Chinese spices (all found in Budgens - amazing!) the ingredients cost £10 in all and the meal was totally awesome - Mada had the job of cutting up the veggies and me the meat and making the marinade and cooking the whole lot. I was so proud of my first attempt to cook Malaysian (style) food and so we've decided to write in the book with every dish we cook giving it a rating out of 10 and how we can improve the taste for next time :o)
Looking forward to cooking together in our own home together, we're getting there, second mortgage assessment just around the corner, then (fingers crossed) it will be a decent borrowing amount and we can start looking at houses in REAL LIFE as opposed to browsing on line.

Malaysian Food O'Clock
Mada, me and 2 of our friends were supposed to be going to this restaurant last night but we had to cancel because something came up for our friends.
It specialises in Malaysian cuisine and all the dishes look amazing! Can't believe I hadn't discovered it sooner and it's right on our doorstep (well, about 30 mins drive from home, but still!) looks lush!
