EMCO Day #3 : Salad and Frozen Stuff Again

Today I had no idea what to eat so I decided to mix and match ordering in with something from the freezer.

By the way, last night's dinner was a pasta that I cooked back in June and stashed in the freezer.


I used leftover pizza sauce to make the pasta sauce.


I have a pasta sauce of the same brand and I checked the ingredients just to see what is the difference between pizza and pasta sauce. Apparently, the pasta sauce had added ingredients of mushrooms and green peppers. 

The pasta sauce made from this pizza sauce turned out quite good.

This is the last box of Pacific West fish in my freezer.


I would have to wait for EMCO to be over before I can buy this again. If I asked my partner to look for it this Sunday, he might have some trouble locating it.


Instructions said to air fry at 200C for 7-9 minutes. 


I set mine at 10 minutes.


Disaster struck when I shook the air fryer basket to toss the fish cocktails (so that they get evenly browned).


You see the mess? It looked like they melted or something. Perhaps I should not have shaken the basket and just let them cook undisturbed.


These fish cocktails were very tasty and have a sweet Thai chili sauce flavor. I am going to get another box of this. Or maybe two. Sedap.


I took advantage of the Grabfood HOTDEALS promo again today for a salad from La Juiceria. I chose the salad without protein and made sure to add on ingredients until I reached around RM25+ to qualify for the 50% deal (max RM12.50 off).


I split the salad into two portions (for lunch and dinner) and added more ingredients from the fridge (tomatoes and cucumbers).


I kept the Honey Mustard dressing for dinner and used Kewpie Hot and Spicy dressing for my grand salad lunch. So good!


Belle Belle loves to chill out on the bed in the spare room.


But ultimately when it comes to sleeping, she prefers the floor.

  4. We use that bottled Ragu sauce very often, even for cooking lamb shank. Haven't checked what Pacific West products my missus bought Friday. So far we are still finishing off our Marina chicken nuggets.

  5. I think you shook the fish nuggets so vigorously until the coating came off. Never mind that it's a mess as long as still can eat...lol. I don't think I can bring myself to pay RM25 for a salad without protein (even if it can be split into two servings). Luckily you had 50% off (otherwise it's not so worth it) coz the veggies I see on the plate (like broccoli, corn, purple cabbage, cherry tomatoes) all we can easily buy ourselves (except maybe the dressing but you still ended up having to use your own dressing for one portion). P/S: This Belle Belle has 'declared' the spare room hers (so clever, she knows a good thing when she sees one)! :D That's why I close my bedroom doors so that Cookie doesn't claim it as his...kekeke.

    1. I did it only for the 50% discount LOL! Belle Belle pretty much helps herself to any space that she likes. So two rooms are now closed - my bedroom and my study room hah..hah...

  6. I have seen Pacific West products sold at Jaya Grocer. I think I saw Fish & Chips and not Fish Cocktails. I love that brand very much. I started to like your Air Frying food and told my wife to Air Fry everything! I loved the different taste with lesser oil as they have the crispier taste texture. So very yummy!

    I always worry that cats would bring bacteria on their paws to the beds at my sister's house. So when I had to babysit them, I would clean their feet with wet towels. Your cats have shorter furs and that's a good blessing. Otherwise you might see tiny furs floating around like ghosts. Hihihi

    1. I see that you are fan too of the Pacific West products. The air fryer is great for this type of frozen foods.

      I used to feel geli too about having pets in the house but I accept it very well now. Wah, you took the trouble to clean the cats' feet! Even though their hair is short, I have furs everywhere on the floor and staircase.

    1. Oh thanks. Let me go check if they deliver to my place. Rm60 is easily achieved as one box is not cheap.

  8. I agree with ewew about hati sakit paying for salad. I am so kiamsiap, I see la juiceria in Taman Desa which will deliver to my place in grabfood but I just couldn't bring myself to order the food even with Hotdeals promo because the bulk of it is salad. Very good that u r not cheapskate like me.

    Haizzz raining here. Good also else too hot may end up burning like that town in Canada. So sad. The people lost everything in the fire.

    Retire liao so free. Should I go get rid of comments? Lolx! No la, got better things to do la. Where got so silly to spend my precious time to get rid of comments that nobody bothers about. Lolx! Roflmao!

    Enjoy your day! I wonder what will u eat today. Self cook or grab or food panda?
