Tom Yam Campur

T.H.E R.A.M.B.L.I.N.G.S

We had a lovely feast yesterday at BIG PLATE, 27 Jalan Alfa F U6/F, Subang Permai, 40150 Shah Alam, Selangor. Hubby had Rib Eye Steak, I had pan fried fish and Ami had Kelang Steak. And for the drinks, all three ordered watermellon juice. The food was as delicious as always with very reasonable price. Promosi baik punyah ni... kot ler leh dapat free meal ke... ahahaha... We broke our fast at home with a glass of water and some dates. Performed our Maghrib prayers, then only we headed for Big Plate. When we reached there, they were serving buffet which we were not that keen on. Don't get me wrong, it's not that the food wasn't appetizing enough. It was and infact they had such variety of food served in the warmer, all looking yummiliciously good! But because our minds were set on having those western kind of food, so the buffet was out of the story. We asked one of the waitress if we could have the ordered menu and she had kindly enquired from the kitchen. Yes we may, she said! Alhamdulillah... so we waited patiently for our food to be served which doesn't take that long actually. Too bad, I didn't bring my camera along, so there'll be no photos to share of what we feasted yesterday. But just imagine, me, having 4 pieces of pan fried dori, with grilled potato wedges, a small pancake, brocolli, cauliflour, sweet corn, cherry tomato, sliced brinjal, shredded purple cabbage and the lovely sauce... all in one plate.... mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm......

Ibu Nor had requested me to tag her on Facebook if I posted any Tom Yam recipe. So to fulfil my promise to her, today I shall post this Tom Yam recipe which I had tried 4 years back when I was still in Malawi. This Tomyam recipe is from Forum Cari, posted by Joi-ah. Thank you Joi-ah for sharing the recipe with us. I shall also share the tips that was given to me by these two lovely ladies, Imah and Kak Yong as how to produce better taste Tom Yam. Thank you dear ladies..... I wonder, where is Kak Yong now. Can't visit her fotopages anymore as she had locked her webpage. Where ever you are sweet Kak Long, hope life is treating you well....

Method :

Tips for a better taste Tom yam :

From Imah :
Add 1 or 2 tablespoons of coffeemate or creamer into the soup. And if you're cooking beef soup or oxtail soup, add some coke into it.

From Kak Yong :
Add a few tablespoons of fish sauce into the Tom Yam.

Have a nice day!
