Prawn and Chicken Skewers

Since fun play has been the topic of the week, I have chosen to share a recipe that is suitable for a party or get together.

Skewers are also at the top of my list when it comes to party food. It looks attractive and it's easy to handle (you can eat it without the need to use a plate).

OK. Lets get cooking!

THIS WEEK's SPECIAL:

Prawn and chicken skewers

Ingredients: Shelled and deveined large prawns, chicken meat cut in cubes (you can use either thigh or breasts), soy sauce, dark soy sauce, grated shallots or onions, white pepper powder, the white part of spring onion, onions, cooking oil and of course, the skewers.

1. Cut the large prawns into two to three portions.

2. Put the prawns and chicken cubes in a bowl and add soy sauce, dark soy sauce, grated shallots or onions and white pepper powder. Mix well and marinate for two hours.

3. Cut the white parts of the spring onion to 1.5 inch.

4. Cut the onions into wedges.

5. Now, lets thread them on the sticks! Starting with chicken, onion, prawn, spring onion and lastly, another piece of chicken. Of course you can do it anyway you like it.

6. You can barbecue, grill in the oven or even just pan fry them if you do not have a grill or an oven. Just brush some cooking oil on the skewers and you can cook them in any method of your choice.

NOTE: Soak the skewers for about 2 hours before using them.

Even if you do not have a party coming up soon, you can still enjoy this delicious treat for dinner or make some for your children to bring to school for break time or lunch! I am sure they'll finish them in no time.

Happy cooking! 😊

What a Treat! What a Cheat!

When it comes to food , how often do you cheat ? Do you plan to follow a certain diet but end up having more cheat days than you intend to? or Do you intend to eat home cooked food for the entire week but end up eating out almost everyday? You are not alone!!👊 We are partners in crime! Look at the picture below. It's a plate of lunch for my children. Prawn paste fried chicken, stir fry mustard leaves and white rice. Served on a plate from our kitchen. The only thing I cook is the rice. 😜 I bought the chicken and vegetables from an economy rice shop. They are my children's top picks. It is a shop that sells a wide variety of dishes (about 50-60), mostly Chinese. The food are pre cooked and displayed on large serving trays. It is self service and faster than the fast food restaurant. When my children saw the food served to them, they had a debate on whether it was takeaway or home cooked . 😃 My 8 year old boy said: Mummy bought from Bar Wang Fan (the na...

Traveling with Kids: Tioman Island

Traveling with children can be quite challenging. They need activities to keep them busy. From my experiences with my children, they don't really like to eat or shop. They want fun play and they want to explore. So, once in a while, we take them out for little adventures. Last June, we decided to take them to an island. WEEK 12: FUN PLAY TOPIC: A TRIP TO AN ISLAND It was a 3 nights 4 days trip. We stayed at Berjaya Tioman Resorts DAY 1 Lunch: I love burgers so it was a pretty good start for me. Despite a pretty good lunch, our journey was delayed by about an hour. There were only two ferry trips to the island from Mersing, Johor. We chose the 3pm one instead of the 7am one because we didn't want to wake up at dawn and drive all the way to Mersing. When we reached the island, it was already dinner time. With kids along, we just had a short walk around the resort and went to bed early. DAY 2 We decided to go island hopping and snorkelli...
