Tried and tested cooking keto : Grilled salmon fish

I was reading about grilling salmon fish and actually thought it is a lot of work to get that perfect flaky meat.  Without further ado, I just tried it once and boy, it was very easy.  But the timing have to be right, which is tricky.  

First time I did, the fish was thinner in slice and cooked perfectly.  Second time, same result as first.  Third time, the fish was thicker in piece and turns out raw after plating.  So, no choice but put into the microwave to cook it and it made the skin soft and no longer crunchy and the meat overcooked.

So, I do agree that cooking salmon is a big task.  Professional chefs uses cooking thermometer just to ensure the meat is cook at the perfect time.

Ingredients:
Salmon fish - I used the part without the bones as you can see in the picture above.  But because the size is thick in the middle and thin at the sides, it makes this part a little tricky to cook to perfection.
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
1/2 tsp of unsalted butter

Method:
1. After washing the salmon fish, dry it with paper tower.  

2. Rub olive oil all over the salmon then rub salt and black pepper.

3. Heat the grill pan on medium fire and then place the salmon skin down.  

4. Put some butter all over the grill but not on the fish.  The butter will make the skin crispier.

5. I used a Korean grill pan, so I close the pan and let it cook for a bit until it is no longer raw.

6. Then I flipped the fish to let it cook the other side and let it cook for a bit.  You have to look at the colour of the fish and use a fork to poke the middle to see if it is cook.  If the fish cut is different sizes, then it will be a bit difficult to judge which part is not cook.

That's it!  Super delicious and simple.  Just tricky to get that flaky consistency.

Review: Grand Lexis vs Lexis Hibiscus at Port Dickson

I have been to both and can honestly tell you that I much preferred Lexis Hibiscus to Grand Lexis.  And here's why. Lexis Hibiscus Pros: 1. Very near to the highway. 2. Located near the beach (although very small area). 3. Food stalls located within walking distance to the hotel. 4. Better services from the staff. 5. Bigger pathway for walkers and cyclist (for those who like to do some walking and cycling). 6. Better view of the sea. 7. Swimming pool is located outside the chalet with sea view (depends where the chalet is facing). 8. Sauna is provided in the chalet. 9. Wide spread of breakfast buffet. Cons: 1. A bit more pricey. 2. Public pool is boring. 3. No kitchenette. 4. If it rains, the sound on the roof is very loud because of the material of the roof (sounds like zinc roof). 5. Toilet door is without lock.   Grand Lexis Pros: 1. Nice public pool with slides for the kids. 2. Big swimming pool inside each room. 3. Wide spread

The Big Kindy Search Continues

Since my last The Big Kindy Search post , I have been looking around for kindies and been visiting some.  Here's my feel about them all. 1) Tadika Diyana Read good reviews about this and decided to check them out, though out of our way and far from home.  I love how the price is quite ok but still a bit on the high side (you can check it out at their website). I visited the premise and I really love how it is run like a mini primary school.  It's huge, with its own hall, field and canteen, although downsize version and it's just like a school.  Not like a bungalow with rooms as classroom.   However, I have decided not to send my girl because they will be moving to Sungai Penchala (further up from TTDI, near to the Penchala Link), which will be much further from our home.  Though they do have transporters, but I feel very wary about sending my 4 year old (next year) to a transporter. What I like about Tadika Diyana is they have 2 medium, English and Chines

PPUM Pediatrics Emergency Department

Being a mom proves to be the hardest job in the world.  Accidents do happen but when they actually happened, most people will panic and unsure what to do.  And when it involves kids, and being the mother of the only child, with no prior emergency experience, this is a traumatizing and frightening episode and a lesson for me to learn. My 3.5 years old girl was being very curious and naughty that fateful day.  She stood on the chair and play with my massage oil and containers and broke one of the small glass cups and when she panicked she came down from the chair and stepped on the broken glass. She was bleeding a lot and crying.  Since this happened at about 10.30pm, my first response was to drive her to a 24-hour clinic.  So, we went to the 24-hour Mediviron clinic but was turned away by the nurses, stating that her case is very serious and need to be referred to a hospital instead. My mind at that time was running at full speed.  I wasn't sure which hospital to go as
