My Curry Fix Finally!

My lazy Sunday became my lazy week as I have not updated my blog since. I didn't sign in until today and the reason I did so was because I was so bored at the office. Terrible, eh? Tsk! Tsk!

Anyway, last Saturday, my brother and I revisited Kadei by Manchula. It was a great respite for me after eating this.


hah..hah..hah... cannot tahan lah... salad...salad...salad...kari mari!!


Whoa! 

My brother opted for Ayam Kampung Biryani.


While I stuck with banana leaf rice.

We ordered two side dishes.


Quail egg sambal and mutton varuval. Both were excellent.


My brother had two drinks, Nescafe Ais and Milo Ais, while I had Limau Ais. The Milo ais was an error. The server mistook my order but my brother decided to take it. That was a great lunch.


During MCO 2.0, certain days I did my lunch prep. Nowadays I like buying the ready to eat coleslaw mix. So convenient.


My air fryer is still very much in use. I made roasted chicken thighs.


And roasted asparagus. 


I just drizzled some Kewpie dressing over my food before eating.


My love for kimchi jigae has not diminished.


Unfortunately this is the last stash of kimchi jigae in the freezer. I need to make kimchi first before I can replenish my kimchi jigae supply.


It is ironic that even though dining out is allowed now, I'm still taking food from home. But that will change once I get sick of my own cooking, which I am sure is bound to happen.

I do eat out/order in on Fridays (Grabfood/AirAsiaFood) and Saturdays (date nite with my lahling). Last Saturday's date nite at 1 Utama was a bit of a nightmare because the crowds came back with a vengeance. So many people just like the pre-pandemic days. Scary!

Restaurants were packed with some not accepting dine-in customers past 7:15pm (Goodness Greens and Isetan Eat Paradise). We were so frustrated but we managed to dine at Pho Vietz. No photos because madam was quite frazzled.


What? Only 5 cookies? Yup, during one of the evenings when I was trying to exert some portion control hah..hah...

    1. Everything looks like back to normal like everyone forgets that the pandemic is not over yet. Oh, so I am not the only one who is bored. LOL!

  4. Each time I see you make kimchi stew, I'm reminded of your bowl...and still contemplating if I should get one (not to eat kimchi stew, of course). I think it's too costly (almost RM40) just for a bowl to eat soup noodles. >_< P/S: The abundance of chicken in that first salad photo is more like a chicken meal with some salad leaves than a chicken salad...lol!

    1. Ah, perhaps you should abandon the idea of buying that bowl. I bought it just because of the Korean sentiment though I use it for other soups as well. Your other bowls will serve you just as well! That chicken salad came about due to leftover chicken from Seng Kee chicken rice hee..hee..

  5. Looks like you are enjoying your meals dining out except for that date night evening. Very good. After vaccination, life should be back to before.

  6. Oh my! I am drooling over your quail egg sambal and mutton varuval! Your roast chicken thighs also very mouth-watering. I can't wait till dinner time. Will be dining out with friends, hopefully the restaurant will not be over crowded.

  7. You even got the Korean stoneware for your kimchi Jiggae, good!
    The roasted asparagus I initially thought was your blanched veggie for your salad as it didn't look like being air fried. :P
