This pic was taken last Wednesday, the ground covered with layer of snow in the morning. Winter is officially here! |
After finished my first mango salad, I went to look for mango again in the supermarket the next day, was so happy when I got it. I thought I can remember the recipe and did not need to refer it, half way through preparing the salad, I found out I ran out of tomatoes, the sky is getting dark and I wouldn't want to go out with a pushchair in a dark cold night, panicking! panicking! I was trying to think what can I use to replace tomatoes. First I thought of using pineapple, was asking myself would pineapple be a good combination to this salad? I doubted! As I walked out the kitchen and toward the fruit bowl in the living room, I saw those lovely kiwi fruits sitting in the packet unopened. Oh yes! I can try it with kiwi. I did, and I also add in extra peanut, it is equally good, I like it with kiwi too!

Hi Stephanie,
ReplyDeleteI'm guilty too for not knowing much to cook for MFF. Although I'm a Singaporean, I'm still in my L plates to cook many Asian cuisine. I reckon your mango salad looks wonderful. Wish to make them too because mangoes are in season now in Australia.
Living at down-under, I always envy everyone else that get snow during Christmas or summery beach holidays when we are suffering in cold during June. Your snowy Christmas looks wonderful.

Hi Zoe,
DeleteI know, what a shame I am not up to speed to cook for MFF. Well, you are in better position than me, I am not sure if I am eligible for L plates or not, but I am definitely a P plate for eating, hehe.
Yes, please give it a try, I am sure you will like it if you like the malay style acar, hot and sour plus spicy.
I love snow when I first come to the UK, hoping for snow every winter, but not anymore, it is hard for us to plan our trip when it is heavy snow, not safe to drive, train and flight often get cancel. I would prefer it to snow for just few days in the winter.
The salad looks so appetising. Thanks for stopping by at my blog.
ReplyDeleteHi Chris,
DeleteLove your almond coffee cake!
i'm also learning a lot of dishes thru the MFF event especially malay dishes. I also like kiwi and the addition of kiwi in your salad makes it look vibrant too. This morning i also saw some snow pictures of a blogger friend living in scotland, everywhere is like so white, how i wish i can get to experince that some day. You stay warm, ya!
ReplyDeleteHi Lena,
DeleteMFF provide a platform for us to learn more about Malaysian dishes, I like the idea, hope I could participate one day.
Come, let me know when you come to the UK, during winter, we can go skiing together. :o)
I want snow!! It looks so beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteYour salad looks delicious- I've never made salad with mangoes before, but this looks so good I want to try some! And I love your substitution of kiwifruit for tomatoes. I reckon if you did a salad with both kiwifruit AND tomatoes it would so colourful!
Hi Von,
DeleteThanks for visiting, nice to know you through blogging!
I have never made salad with mango before I attempted this mango salad too, it turn out really nice, you can have a try and prepare it to your family and see if they like it.
Thank you for giving the idea by using kiwi to make kerabu. I must combine it with my cooking coz my hubby doesn't like fruits, heehee...
ReplyDeleteit is nice to eat with kiwi. Yes, another way to encourage them to eat fruits.
DeleteHi Stephanie,
ReplyDeleteYour mango kerabu looks so appetizing and delicious! Yes, I could finish a whole plate of it too!
Our weather is extremely hot here, and wish for some snow right now, of course that is impossible! hahaha!
Hope you are geared up for the cold season, take care!
Hi Joyce,
DeleteThanks for compliments!
Come visit me and enjoy some snow :D
Hi Stephanie, the addition of kiwi does make it really zingy!
