Never Say Never

To the possibility of combining the weirdest ingredients because that’s how awesome fusion food is derived from TRUE STORY! Yes, this is yet another cooking post.

If you follow my cooking/baking post closely, fusion food is something I’m comfortable making and have never said no to it. Fusion food is also vastly available in KL because every restaurants finds a way to push the boundaries on what fusion food should be. Which is why restaurants like Pasta Zanmai, Kim Gary with a whole other restaurant that has fusion food on its menu (sorry ah, too lazy to list em out, just to take a stroll at the mall and you’d know) has since cropped up in Malaysia.

Fusion food is akin to an inter-racial marriage. It encompasses all the makings of a good dish, which if you insist I make the comparison:  it’s like a child of a mixed marriage who inherits the best features from both parents/races. They’re usually oh so gorgeous and yummy to look at! Same goes with fusion food that is a hit. YUMMY to the core. And gorgeous to look at.

At the same time I”ll also agree that some fusion food can also be a miss

But I say it’s mostly a hit provided the ingredients are not too weird-ish.

Anyway, it was on Food Network that I came across this recipe. YUP, I’m a true loyal Food Network fan now (wait till you see the other dishes I’ve managed to whip up on the weekend from this site, so PROUD of myself). When I first saw the ’secret’ ingredient, I went what the fish?? Infact when I told BabySis how I made the yummiest mac and cheese ever with some  Thai Red Curry paste (yes you read that right), she was gobsmacked stunned!

And I bet you are too

Bake my lil red curry paste filled mac and cheese soldiers! The sauce on it’s own was heavenly which is why I was reluctant to bake em given how I don’t have good luck when baking + breadcrumbs is concerned.

And this is what a mother does while waiting for dinner to bake, on a weekday.

Yes I made this last Wednesday, on a working day.

And I’ve cut a sharper fringe for my little one. Almost China doll like (obviously not quite for I am not a hair stylist – always wanted to be one though but boo). You like?

But what do you know, it came out suprisingly beautiful!

A tinge of spiciness to go with the cheese sauce! Would make any Indian mouth happy

ALL GONE!

I made 3 ramekin bowls filled with mac and cheese and the hubby gobbled up BOTH! He usually watches what he eats but this time……..he just wanted moreee!

Geez mom, daddy can eat like a damn pig! Where does he put it??!

Yes baby girl, and you’ll soon realize that the key in making a man happy is truly through his stomach.

P.s: Recipe will follow in the next post coz I’ve adopted it into my own version and extended it further :D
