Corned Beef Fried Rice

corned-beef-fried-rice

Lately I’ve been cooking fried rice a LOT. And I mean, a LOT. About twice to four times a week.

Today, I made Corned Beef Fried rice.

Corned Beef Rice

My usual ingredients for fried rice are the following:

  • Rice from yesterday
  • 5 or more cloves of garlic, chopped
  • 1 White or Red onion, chopped
  • Sesame oil
  • Soy sauce (Lee Kum Kee or Kikkoman)
  • Oyster sauce
  • Egg

In this one, I had mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn kernels) and a can of Pure Foods corned beef. I don’t usually add salt and pepper anymore, but sometimes I throw in some garlic powder if there’s any. About the amount of garlic, I like my fried rice with a strong taste of garlic. If it doesn’t have any garlic taste, it’s not fried rice. If I have hoisin sauce as well, occasionally I would add some in to add a little flavor.

My friend told me that I was addicted to carbohydrates. I guess I am. I really like rice and noodles A LOT. I’m not much of a bread eater (that includes pizza). I need to worry about losing weight but I’m too lazy to worry about that. Just pop in some clinicallix and maybe get thin…. when I can afford it. hahaha

Kuala Lumpur Day 2 / 26th Birthday

Oh my oh my! I turn 26 on this day. I wonder if people in Malaysia had issues about mesothelioma life expectancy. I’ve heard about it in the Philippines ONLY a tiny little bit, but in the US, apparently there are TV ads about it.

Today we met up with another online friend named Mai. She’s from CyberJaya, a bit far from Petaling Jaya where we’re staying at. We took a teksi to the train station Taman Bahagia of the Kelana Jaya line. It cost less than RM8. Then we took the train to KL Sentral which was RM2 each. Then we changed lines to the KLIA Transit line to Putrajaya & Cyberjaya which was RM9.50. We then took a cab to the Cyberia bus station via coupon system so we were charged a flat rate of RM13.

We went to where our friend was working, which was Kyros Kebab. I had the Chicken Chop meal and later on, the Black Pepper Spaghetti. Scott had the lamb wrap and the mixed wrap.

We went around The Street Mall to check out the bazaar type shops and I bought some earrings and a vest. Scott bought a book. lol.

Before leaving, Mai gave me a gift. It was a g-clef pendant necklace with matching earrings. It was really nice. I know where she bought it but somehow I didn’t notice it when I was looking around.

We then went to Midvalley Megamall to meet up with another irc friend, Moe-tan. Terin couldn’t meet up with us which was sad. We went to a Hailam Kopitiam and I had tom yum dry noodles. IT WAS GOOD!

Scott decided that he was going to reschedule the flight back. We’re supposed to be going back home tomorrow, but he felt that we hadn’t seen anything of Kuala Lumpur. We went home hoping to get back before midnight so we could make these changes but the taxi driver got lost and we went around and around. From Taman Desa to Petaling Jaya, it shouldn’t have cost RM30. I swear we were near our place when the meter ticked 10 or 15, but the taxi driver played stupid. It was annoying. Had to call Terin to get us home.

So… we extended our stay in Malaysia for a week and we’ll be going home on the 26th! Actually the flight is on the 27th, but it’s at 1am so we’ll need to leave the condo around 9pm.

Overall, it was a good day for my birthday!

Trinoma VS SM North

After going to UP Diliman to get my Graduation Certificate (Diploma) I brought q3m to SM North because of the mere fact that it’s just a jeep ride away. I’ve always just taken him to Trinoma. We bought his new sandals in Trinoma. We did groceries once in Trinoma.

But to be honest, I used to like SM North more. It’s just that Trinoma is easier to go to. It is so convenient to go there. What I hate about Trinoma is going home. If going there is convenient, going home is so inconvenient. Getting a cab is harder because there’s no somewhat central lane where cabs would pass by and drop off/pick up passengers unlike SM North. For Trinoma I only want to go home in the evening and I’ll go to one corner where there’s hardly anyone there and wait for a cab.

For this reason, I hardly go to SM North now.

When we were at Trinoma, I had this urge to go to TimeZone and play a bit. I’ve been wanting to play with someone on the foosball tables but q3m didn’t seem interested in playing games so we just looked for his shoes last time we were there.

When we went to SM North, we concentrated on the groceries because we were looking for some things. We did find some Navel Oranges and he was pretty happy with it. It was a bit pricey for him though. He said normally he’d buy them at 0.25 usd. The ones in the groceries was about 0.50 usd so we didn’t get too many.

We went around the Skywalk to find a place to eat. He was in the mood for Mexican food but the one there wasn’t Mexican enough for him so we settled at Kangaroo Jack. He had Medium Rare Ribeye and I had baby backribs. His Ribeye was bad and my ribs were good enough for the price. We went home pretty pleased.

Cleaning Day 9

cleaning-day-9

Today… well today was the big day. I didn’t do any cleaning at all. I woke up late in the morning and then I went out for lunch. We went to Ying Ying, a Chinese restaurant in Binondo. I’ve been there twice already before today and I ALWAYS love the food there.

Of course, the highlight of the meal was this:

Fried Frog Legs

Spicy Fried Frog Legs.

We also ate various dimsum with the always very awesome yangchow which is oh so abundant with shrimp and egg. After the meal I felt so full I could burst. I was already starting to think of me getting even huger than I am already. I should try looking at some baby jogger city apparel and pretend to be pregnant. haha!

Anyways, I didn’t go home right away. After the late lunch, Jennie and I went to SM Tayuman (my first time there!) but there wasn’t really much there, except for people. We parted ways at the LRT2 Pureza station. On my way, I stopped by Hi-Top because I haven’t gone there in ages and bought some groceries.

Well… Maybe I did clean a little bit, in a way. I was looking for a medium sized Winnie The Pooh stuffed toy that I was intending to give to Jennie as a birthday gift, but I couldn’t find it so I just gave up. It will turn up as I continue cleaning so I should get a move on!

Street Vendors FTW!

And so today, going home, I figured that I should walk from the train station to my street once in a while. It’s a 10-minute brisk walk and usually after work I’m already really tired, but I walked anyway. On the way, I saw this old lady selling Baguio lettuce that looked really fresh. The roots haven’t been chopped off and there’s still some soil. I bought a bundle for P10 which would probably cost like P50+ in the groceries.

While walking home, I was thinking of what to eat with it. So I thought… hotdogs! Actually, I’d love to eat it with beef, like this Korean dish som geop sal (spelling?) wherein you cook the beef on a grill on the table and then wrap it with lettuce and dip it in sesame oil and some other sauce.

Anyways, going back to the hotdogs, lately I’ve been cooking it in the oven toaster, as if I’m grilling it. I slice little wounds on the sides and give it half-octopus legs and then put it foil shaped into a box, then put some butter, and cook it for 10 minutes (5 minutes, turn it, then another 5). It’s really good. Everyone should try it.

It’s not the best diet, but at least I’ve got my greens. Do you know any fat burners that work? Like, really work? I’m so lazy and I really like eating unhealthy. :( I sometimes take fat burning tea but it makes my tummy hurt too much sometimes.

Oh well, time to eat. Ta~

Diet Update

diet-update

It’s been about a month and a half since I started my no-rice-in-the-mornings diet and so far I’ve only broken it twice. And it was only last week that I did.

I don’t really feel any effects yet, just that I know I’m not overstuffed before I go to sleep. I know I was thinking last time to maybe take something like a supplement or diet pills but I keep being lazy to get some. I could ask my Pop but I always forget.

Well, the people I’ve consulted said that it will be slow since I’m still eating rice in the evenings and for “lunch” but hopefully, I’ll be able to cut it down more. In fact, I’m thinking of not taking rice in the evenings now, before going to work.

We’ll see how it goes~

Adobo rolled in Pita with Cream Cheese

Just an experiment that turned out pretty well.

1. Shred some leftover pork adobo.
2. Spread cream cheese on pita bread.
3. Put some pork adobo in the center.
4. Roll, and serve!

For best results, do not use expired and moldy pita bread.

Eating at 2am and Dieting

eating-at-2am-and-dieting

Here I go again wondering what steps I should take to lose some weight. My brother keeps telling me that there are a lot out there in the market to keep me preoccupied but it still depends heavily on the diet I am willing to take (or endure for the matter). He told me to go read up on some diet pills review so that I can have a feel of what the market is like. There seems to be a perfect type for each kind of individual. I might just take a look at some of their selections and see what is best for me. I am kind of curious to know what kind of diet pill would suit me best.

BUT! Instead of reading on these reviews, here I am, munching on noodles once again in the wee hours of the night. There’s this awesome instant ramen with udon noodles, although it’s not really quite udon-like, it’s definitely fatter than the usual ramen noodles.

*sigh* I’m such a pig. Lol.

Mi Goreng Rendang

mi-goreng-rendang

I just had this for breakfast
Mi Goreng Rendang

I ate that over 3 hours ago in my air-conditioned room, and I can still smell it in the air. I’ve sprayed Lysol and Lavender-scented air freshener, and I’ve put some lavender oil on the oil burner and I can still smell it. It’s like the scent clung on the sheets.

Don’t get me wrong. I love this flavor of Mi Goreng by Indo Mie. I really do. I love its smell. I love its taste. But I don’t like the smell of it clinging onto my skin and hair. And speaking of noodles…

AAaarrrghh I hate noodles again. I know it’s carbohydrates, and I know that this junk just makes me fatter. Instead of taking some fat burner pills I keep chomping on noodles. But hey! it’s been a while since I last had noodles. Maybe … like 3-4 days ago.

No… I’m not complaining about my weight again. I’m not. Really.

Evil Noodles

evil-noodles

I’m …. still not serious about dieting!

I know that diet pills don’t work as good if you don’t do your part too. In my case, I really love eating. I really really do. And lately, if I don’t like the food, either Mama cooks instant noodles for me or I cook them by myself.

And my friend who used to be heavier than me is now lighter. >_< *glares at the friend with contempt*

I was thinking of dieting for the Hong Kong trip that I’m planning on the 3rd quarter of this year… but meh… with the stress at work, I want to eat and eat noodles.

Lucky Me Jjampong

I try to drink fruit juice like pineapple juice and orange juice with pulp, so at least I’ve got my fiber. I eat vegetables as much as possible whenever I buy food in the pantry. I give my snacks to my mother… but still… I think if I can only remove noodles from my diet, life would really be a lot easier.

It’s so evil!
