About Me

My photo
I was born and brought up in Kota Bahru,Kel,Malaysia From a very young age I was very interested in cooking. My sisters were all married by the time I was ten it fell on me to help my mother to do the household chores. Slowly I started cooking. After doing our household chores I go and help our neighbour Mok Wan who happened to be a kuih seller, helping her with the task of grinding rice, beating eggs, peeling onions and packing the kuihs usually fell on me for just 20 cents. Mok Wan was very good in making all those traditional Kelantanese kuih whicn are known for their variety and distinct taste. It was she who give me the best lessons in Malay culinary arts. It have been years since she passed away but her art of making kuih is still with me. It was my mother who gave me the lessons in Indian culinary arts, I helped her cook, learning all the time without realising it. Every time when I cook for my friends, the first thing they ask me is "Did you learn cooking?" Far from protesting vehemently that I was self-taught, I must admit I that I gained my knowledge of cooking partly from my family, partly from helping people who are masters of their arts and partly from cookery books.

    I wasn't sure what exactly is vegetarian mutton Initially I confused it with fake mutton because I am careful with the ingredients since some of these synthetic meat passed off as real meat maybe highly toxic

    However I am glad to know from the food ingredients declared there are actually made from soy protein, and mushrooms..

    Now that I know the chemical and food composition of the vegetarian mutton, chicken or prawn I feel safe especially not only they spell out the food ingredients these vegetarian meat are made, they didn't say they were real mutton but clearly stated they were vegetarian meat (mutton, chicken or prawns) made with the food ingredients stated

    I really must congratulate the manufacturers of these vegetarian products that made them taste almost like the real mutton, fish, prawns or other meat products

    In fact they are so good that organoleptically their look, texture, color, taste, etc are almost exactly the same as mutton especially when masked by the heavy spices of curry dishes.

    They really taste good but most importantly they are safe to consume


    Incidentally I am a Chinese who likes Indian curry very much, more than Chinese food You must be suprised
