Fried Kerabu Meehoon

Dried prawns, soaked in water for 10 minutes to soften (and then fried)
Fresh prawns
Dried rice vermicelli noodles (beehoon)
Sambal Belachan - I normally make it, and keep it.
Shallots, finely sliced
Garli & ginger corasely pounded
Finely sliced daun limau purut/kaffir lime leaves and daun kunyit/tumeric leaves
Freshly grated coconut, toasted
lime juice
Seasoning -salt, palm sugar & fish sauce
Chopped spring onions, coriander leaves, mint leaves & bunga kantan (ginger flower)
Fried onions

1. Wash and drain the dried prawns, and use a mortar and pound them. Then fry them.
2. Cook the noodles in boiling water for about 3-5 minutes until the noodles are soft. Drain.
3. Combine the Sambal Belachan, pounded garlic-ginger, shallots, dried prawns, grated coconut, lime juice and seasoning in a large bowl. Add the prawns, then mix in the rice noodles and chopped herbs and toss well. Serve immediately.

And lastly, I added my own touch...I put it over a light fire, and stir them through...
Note that, normally this dish is not cooked, and is eaten raw...but I had to make it mine, so I cooked them lightly...

Cream Cracker Steam Cake

This is a very easy cake to make, and you can get all of the ingredients in your kitchen.

Live...Eat...Travel

Recipe :
21 cream crackers
250gm butter
11/2 cups sugar
6 eggs

Beat butter and sugar until batter turn almost white. Then add in the eggs and beat. Grind the cream crackers and add them last and beat them too. I used the cake mixer to beat.
I divided my batter into two. The first batter I put into a cake tray and steam for 10 mins. As for the second batter, I added some milo into it. After 10 mins, check your cake is cooked or not, by inserting a fork, or skewer. If it is cooked, pour in the second batter , and also steam for another 10 mins. The cooking time varies, by your steamer, so feel free to always cake. I allowed my cake to steam for an extra 5 mins.
