AMAZING DISPLAY OF KITCHEN UTENSILS

Have you watched The Martha Stewart Show which is in its fourth season now? Each episode of the show included several segments related to cooking, interior design, gardening, crafts, and other topics related to the domestic arts. Boy… I did learn a lot of new stuff watching her show on my local TV network. Did you also notice that she had a great kitchen layout on her set? It’s so simple and yet sophisticated. If you study carefully, it’s actually on the higher level of the Chelsea Studio overseeing the skyline of New York City. It’s so panoramic.

How I wished my kitchen would be as great as hers. Just look at how systematically arranged her utensils were. I could not ascertain well but that looked like the enclume pot racks I have heard so much about. Not only would the rack holds all the pots and pans you have in the kitchen, it sure proved the culinary skills of a seasoned cook. With all my pots and pans being cramped in my kitchen cabinet, I ought to get one to ease the hassle of digging deep into my cabinets during each cooking session.

Although having an enclume pot rack might cost me slightly above a couple of hundreds for a simple one, I guessed it would be a necessity that I cannot deny myself. Having watched Martha’s kitchen each week had made me more determine to own one soon. Now what design should I choose to suit my needs and to blend in well with my kitchen?

There are so many options to choose from ranging from the ones made of hammered steel, stainless steel, chrome plated, brass plated or even copper plated. With a soft colored wall and majority of my pots and pans being stainless steel, I would think a stainless steel oval shaped enclume pot rack would suit my kitchen well. There would be no more hassle, no more excuses not to cook some healthy meals for the whole family now!

REVIEW – RESTORAN ESQUIRE KITCHEN

I had a convention down at MIECC within Mines Wonderland vicinity recently and managed to get the opportunity to visit Restoran Esquire Kitchen. Due to time constraint for the lunch break and overcrowding of the place, I only managed to grab a quick meal. But from the look of the packed restaurant and plates after plates of food filling up to the max on most tables, I guessed this must be a great restaurant.

Until now, I am still wondering how I could have withstood the temptation of all the nice aromatic food passing me all the time. Haha. Anyway, I ordered a bowl of Fried Sauce Noodle which does not look like it has been fried at all and a glass of soy milk drink by paying not more than RM12. The noodles tasted great with lots shredded carrots and cucumber topped with some stir fried fermented beans minced meat. What a healthy meal for once. :P

Luckily, I managed to borrow the menu from the waitress and took some shots of what are the rest of the yummy food to share with you.

Once you are in the Mines Shopping Fair, you would not miss this place as it is at the ground floor of the complex. They also have around 15 branches all over KL, Bangsar, Subang Jaya, Klang, Petaling Jaya, Cheras and Ipoh.
