TH and I simply loved eating over at TGIF. We have always felt that the food there is almost similar to the ones in LA, US. I know it is an American franchise but sometimes, franchised outlets’ food differ from its country of origin. TH loves American food, a lot. When we were there on holiday, we practically pigged out at most of the restaurants and coffee houses and fast food chains, etc. Till now, we still find that they have the best ever Roast Pork Ribs and we could not find any restaurants here that can serve up . . . → Read More: Thank God It’s Friday (TGIF)

Amongst the soups she would make is the watercress soup which she always claimed to be nutritional and is good for ‘cooling’ the body. Since my grandmother used to cook it once a week using fatty pork ribs which resulted in oily soup, I often avoided drinking the soup. I only drank it when it is not so oily or whenever I feel like having watercress.

I love the Malay-style barbequed chicken with peanut sauce (ayam panggang) and usually have a very hard time trying to find really good ones. It is only during the fasting month that we get to find a lot of stalls selling this wonderful, tasty barbequed chicken.
The chicken pieces, usually chicken breast meat, drumstick and sometimes chicken wings, are seasoned with peanut sauce, then speared on some sticks and barbequed over coals.
