Chicken soup for the soul ..

On Saturday nite Leslie & I had an excellent meal at Sassorosso (http://www.sassorosso.com.my/) with 2 great friends. It was a time to catch up after not meeting for the longest time. As usual, we had a great time, conversation was flowing & laughter was abundant and the food was delicious!!! ..... but I do think we ordered a bit too much, as usual :-)

IMHO, nothing tops having dinner with wonderful friends...

On Sunday, it was all exercising and moderate eating :-)

A morning walk is a must nowadays. I have to say, venturing about the neighbourhood is indeed an experience. Leslie kept on trying to figure out which Condo Ida Nerina live in since the n/paper mentioned she stays at Persiaran Syed Putra....

The we were off to MV. Wanted to catch Transformers, but an 10am the queue was already blardy long. Good sense prevails and we decided to wait till next weekend!!!!!

After indulging on Sat nite, we absolutely must have s'thing home cooked on Sunday. Something light and healthy - skinless kampung chicken soup with carrots and green beans....

As usual Leslie did ALL the washing up because his lovely wife was kind enough to cook for him - a fair trade one may say :-)

Eating Healthy....Oregano Chicken Salad

Leslie loves this healthy dish & I love making it, because it is so easy.

Just stir fry the chicken strips (all cut to edible sizes already, courtesy of Cold Storage), season with sea salt, black pepper & then add some oregano for flavour. Absolutely fantastic!!

Layer the serving plate with heaps of vege ie lettuce, japanese cucumber, baby tomatoes. Put the chicken strips on top. For added taste, I fried some oyster mushroom and added them on top.....simply cannot get enough of this.

Of course I also need some side dishes, ie corn and chicken peas (for protein) :-)

We finished off dinner with Indian mangoes, they are simply the best!!. Fragrant, juicy & not sickly sweet - PERFECT!!. (& it does not burn a whole in the wallet like Australian mangoes..). There are loads of Indian mangoes in the market, but look for Ranee - they are to-die-for.

& the best part - Leslie did all the washing up....

Guess who I bumped into at IKANO???

The moment I stepped into Ikano I went ...wow..... the ground floor was literally transformed to a rainforest by KL Bird Park.

The best part was ... they brought some of their resident birds for a day out :-)

I'm am not the best judge of the bird species but this owl looks really handsome ...

these on the other hand look a bit scary....

Some of the birds have such vibrant colours....

I'm not sure why there were young chickens but one things for sure......after being man-handled by some kids, they will definitely grow-up to be deeply traumatised adult chickens!!!!!!!!
