Recipe: Dry Curry Noodle with Shredded Chicken

 One of my favourite types of laksa is curry laksa, also known as curry noodles. In certain parts of Malaysia, such as Ipoh, you can find a dry version of curry noodles and this recipe is my take on it.

Firstly, I poach the chicken breast and once cool, the chicken is shredded. At the same time, you can start making your curry sauce - mine includes blended onion, shallot and garlic which I saute until soft, then add curry powder and thick coconut milk, as well as reserved chicken stock. What you will get is a thick curry sauce, which you can serve with meehoon / bihun, boiled egg, long beans and shredded chicken... yum! The kids loved this as much as I did.

900ml water

1/2 yellow onion, peeled and roughly cubed

1 shallot, peeled

2 cloves garlic, peeled

2-3 tbsp cooking oil

3 tbsp meat curry powder

1 tsp chicken stock granules

1 tsp salt

3-4 stalks curry leaf

200ml coconut milk 

8 stalks long bean, trimmed and cut to 1.5 inch lengths

2 eggs, boiled for 10 minutes, peeled and halved

200g bihun, soaked for 3 minutes in tap water

Red chilli or mint leaves, for garnish

1. Place 900ml water in a pot and bring to the boil. Once boiling, add the chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes over medium heat. Turn off heat, cover and leave aside for 10-15 minutes. After that, remove chicken from water and allow to cool before shredding. Set aside chicken stock for Step 3.

2. Place onion, shallot and garlic in a blender. Blend until fine.

3. Heat oil in a wok over medium high heat. Add the blended ingredients and saute for about 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add curry powder and curry leaf and saute for a further 2 minutes, then add 700ml chicken stock from Step 1. Simmer at medium low heat for 20 minutes.

4. Add long beans. Season with salt and chicken stock granules. Pour in coconut milk and simmer for another 2 minutes. Taste, and season with more salt if necessary. 

5. Meanwhile, in a separate pot, bring half a pot of slightly salted water to the boil then cook bihun for 1-2 minutes, until soft. Remove and place into four serving bowls.

5. Ladle the thick curry sauce onto the bihun noodles and top with shredded chicken and half a boiled egg each. Garnish with red chillies  and mint leaves and serve.

Gardenia Original Classic has been the unequivocal choice of Malaysians resulting in an average of 11 million loaves distributed monthly, Peninsular Malaysia. And with the addition of Nutrinegy™, Gardenia Bakeries (KL) anticipates a larger growth for 2021.

The iconic best-seller will have more to offer Malaysians in April 2021. The Gardenia Original Classic White Bread will now come with the goodness of Nutrinegy™.

Ramadan 2021: Golden Valley Set Menus (Delivery / Dine-In)

Located in Melawati Mall, Golden Valley is a Malaysian restaurant focusing on authentic Chinese cuisine and seafood, made with Halal ingredients. 

For the holy month of Ramadan, Golden Valley is offering Buka Puasa sets to cater to their customers, available for dine-in, takeaway and deliveries. There are three sets to choose from; Set for 2 (RM99), Set for 5 (RM299) and Set for 10 (RM699), with a wide variety of dishes to choose from. Scroll down for the full menu.

For our first Iftar of the year, we had the Set for 5 delivered to our home.  The Set for 5 comes with your choice of soup, 1/2 roast duck, 1 whole seabass, your choice of seafood, your choice of vegetable/egg/tofu, and dessert of the day. All sets also come with rice, drinks and kurma (free flow if you're dining in). 

Our dishes arrived beautifully wrapped in batik cloths, furoshiki-style. Perfect for gifting to your friends and family. Our food was well-packed in individual containers (sauces separated to keep fish crisp) and was still nice and warm. The portions were generous and will comfortably feed 5 pax. 

Seafood & sweetcorn soup - first time trying this soup from GV and we were pleasantly surprised with the generous amount of seafood in the soup. Well suited for children's tastebuds.

1/2 Roast Duck - diners have the option of upgrading to Peking duck for RM20 or to change the dish to chicken. We love the roast duck here at Golden Valley, flavorful and moist, using Halal duck from Perak. If you're getting delivery, I would recommend this over Peking duck as it travels better. 

Whole seabass - you can choose from four cooking styles: Steamed with soy sauce, Thai-style, Sweet & sour and Nyonya. We had the Thai-style seabass and it was delish! The deep fried fish was fresh and meaty and was complimented well by the sweet and tangy Thai sauce with mango relish.

Salted egg yolk squid - our kids' favourite! Other seafood options include assorted seafood, mantis prawns, and lala. 

Tofu with mushroom & taukan 

Dessert of the day - lotus seed paste pancakes
