Food Friday: Salted Fish (Ikan Masin)

Fried salted fish, topped with sliced shallots and birds chilli and drizzled with the salted fish oil  that I used to cook it in. 

All this time, I have been buying Pharmaton, Appeton, This-ton, That-ton, and my children still don't put on weight. They have healthy appetites, especially Buddy, but Allie eats like a bird. So yesterday, I finally got around to frying some salted fish -- ikan masin ikan merah -- that my mom bought from Tawau (Monica's hometown -- so ask her to bring back for you if she goes back this CNY! hahahaha) .

Apparently, this was the ultimate appetizer for the kids. Despite putting bird's chilli and shallots on it, they still walloped the food. Sometimes, I cook enough rice to last until dinner (when the hubs is off at work), but this time, it didn't last half an hour. The kids had 3 plates of rice each! Amazing.

Today, Buddy asked for more salted fish. And he says he wants it the same way, with the "bawang and cili". Ohhhkay then, I just hope it won't give my kids high blood pressure. As for the husband, he ate 4 plates, and I am definitely hiding this from him if I cook it again. I want him to eat, but I don't wanna kill the man!!

I, on the other hand, HAVE to go jogging today. A half marathon won't be able to burn the amount of calories I consumed!! Oh and whoever wants to join me jogging at Subang park, just holla and we can run together-gether. New mommies out there, you can join me and jogging, with the new baby jogger city select 2012, you can bring your baby with you, too!! ;)

Salam Jumaat and have a great weekend, everyone!

I can eat many plates/bowls of rice especially fried rice, but I have to refrain myself or else my waistline will keep expanding!

OOohh ikan masin! Yums! I usually eat ikan masin with my plain bubur but I only use ikan masin tenggiri n will definitely goreng with cili padi n bawang like that.. Never eat ikan masin ikan merah before though but kalau ur kids n hubs siap tambah berpinggan2, I percaya lah ni mesti sedap ni.. Hehe..

Hey Shemah! :D

I had that problem when Chakai was younger, she didn't seem to put on the necessary weight and was really skinny even though she ate a lot and then she grew and now she weighs fine... :) Lucas on the other hand has always been a little bit over weight.. :P

Ane,  January 31, 2012 9:45 PM  

I'm curious, is "bawang", garlic and "cili", Chili or chili peppers? :P If so, we use the same words in Tagalog.. :D

Ane,  January 31, 2012 9:46 PM  

Oh my goodness, what is up with kids and fish? Lucas will not eat any other type of meat except fish. :P

Fish is supposed to be the healthier type of meat right? :P hehe

Hugs and kisses for the kids Shem! :D
