The Best Home Made Pizza in Penang

Delicious Meatless Homemade Pizza and Salad

Seriously this guy made really good pizza and salad. Really. I would say the best homemade pizza in Penang, much better than those in the restaurant.

Thanks Molly for inviting me over your place and it's such a pleasure to enjoy your hubby's super good homemade pizza and your homemade watermelon mints cocktail. And of course, a little talk with everyone.

Pesto Based Pizza

Pesto pizza with green capsicum, white onion. beech/shimeji mushroom and parmesan cheese. Stephen made a very good pesto with basil, garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper even without using any nuts. Ohh, my last making pesto was a year ago. I should start picking up the skills again!

From base to paste, all are homemade. I like the way Stephen makes pizza, a little touch of everything into perfection. It tastes so natural or I should say oh... it tastes organic! Many times when we bought pizza from Domino, Pizza Huts or any restaurant, the base of pizza are always too thick, too thin or too much of paste.

The right one has pumpkin in the pizza, yum! All the natural sweetness comes from pumpkin!

Stephen cooked 3 pizza - pesto, pumpkin and tomato. Tomato one is not in the photo. He didn't use the ready made canned tomato paste because they are overpowered with too many herbs and spices. So do I don't like the ready made tomato paste. He used the canned tomato, peeled off the skin and blend with garlic, salt and pepper to make the paste for pizza.

This salad is awesome with nutty pumpkin seed, natural caramelization of carrot, a few pinch of fresh dills and others green.

As you can see, all the food was vegetarian, no meat.

Vegetarian food can be as delicious.

My next project : it's time to invest an oven and learn to make pizza.

Thanks for inspiring me some of the ideas in cooking.

Cintan Mee Recipe ( Stir Fry Noodles ) 炒金旦面

Cintan Mee - The Ding Dong Mee I love Cintan Mee so much, whether it is stir-fried with tomyam or soy sauce. I 'developed' this dish from an old kopitiam in my hometown which used to be famous of Cintan Mee. The shop was owned by an old couple but they closed the shop when I was in Year 5? Oh it was long time ago! Everyone miss their cintan mee. Thank god for gifted me such a good tongue and I made it!!! The taste is similar but the method of preparing is differ from the old couple. Also, I skip some ingredients to make it easy and simple. My sister loves it because she misses it so much as she was away from home for so many years. I remembered when I was in primary school and she came back from oversea, she will ask me to take away for her and she wanted it dry ( less sauce compare to the wet one). I could see she enjoys this dish so much whenever I cooked. Sadly I don't have any photo of how was the noodles looked. I really miss it. So why I ...

Angled Luffa with Egg Recipe 丝瓜炒蛋

Angled Luffa with Egg A simple healthy meal with fibre and protein. The sauce/soup is very clear, light and a little bit of sweetness from the luffa. Luffa is soft to bite and a ll the essence is concentrated in the soup. It i s very suitable to serve in summertime. I love this so much. I can have rice to go with only this. I will have my rice covered with luffa with plenty of sauce. Okay, maybe I can call it soup because I drink the sauce like soup. I heard from my friend, his mom cooks this as soup which means they put more water. Feel safe to drink the sauce as it is not salty like other stir fry vegetable with thicken sauce. That's why I said the sauce texture is more like soup. I should put another half cup of water, a bit dry. Not enough soup for me! Story of luffa: My mom told me when she was a kid and my grandparents were very poor, they used dry luffa as a scrubbing sponge in the kitchen to wash the dishes . Interesting right? Luffa is a ve...

Stir Fry Clams Recipe with Fermented Soy Beans - lala 蛤蜊炒豆酱

Lala, one of my favourite mom's home-cook food. I hardly order this when I eat out in a restaurant because I am fussy about the taste and the freshness. M om's one is the BEST in quality and definitely the freshness. Whenever I go back to home town, Yan Kecil in Kedah; I always look for seafood to eat especially clam and crabs! I will hunt for them when I cycled around in the fish village . Otherwise I will ask my mom whether she can get it from the fishmonger in the market . Initially I was looking for the harder, longer shape's clams but only this small type of clam so called 'lala' was available in the market during the Hari Raya day. It was only sold for RM3/kilo in the marke t and more than enough to feed us for lunch and dinner. Seafood is so much cheaper to eat and fresh in home town. The flesh is really small. So you have to be patient , take the flesh out one by one. Therefore some people don't like to eat them but I e...
