What can you cook for under RM50?

Angel hair pasta with prawns, mussels and ebiko

How about some angel hair pasta with tiger prawns, mussels and ebiko?

I tried Paprika’s recipe (and added mussels which I simmered in the delicious prawny broth before I tossed in the pasta), and I must say that it was the best RM50 I spent in a long time.

And no, there were NO kitchen disasters.

Have a great weekend, folks!

(Note:  RM50 gave me 2 large plates of pasta containing 8 tiger prawns, 6 mussels and a generous sprinkling of ebiko)

  1. daphne: Yep, it’s a trait I picked up from mum.

    jason: I think so too. Thanks…you too!

    Jojo: Wah…long time no see leh! Hey try this recipe. It works!

    argus: It was absolutely delicious, Argus! Errr…frying and baking are two different things. Anything to do on the kitchen stove, I can do. Ask me to bake, and I start sweating. It’s fear.

  2. Brilliant job! And as for your “fear”, well given you’re a charm with the angel hair pasta, you could be the Dare-Angel: Woman Without Fear! (after Daredevil: Man Without Fear… what? nobody reads comics no more?)

    I re-read what I just wrote and realized probably only three people on earth is gonna get that pun. And all three are gonna smack me for how lame it is. Sowwies… 😛

  3. Haiya, that Kenny and his devil-may-care pun. He’s got an angle on angels apparently.

    Fear, Lyrical? No sweat, please, we’ve air-conditioning. Or at least a fan. Wear a bikini, switch on the whirring blades, and BAKE, woman! Soon the ‘fear’ will melt away…

  4. Wow, serious, less than RM50, all that good stuff??? I’m nuts about roe myself, but eating a pregnant prawn somehow makes me feel horrid.. 🙁 it happened on my last night in bangkok, bought a box of 10 river prawns for about 6o baht, and saw that they were in various stages of pregnancy! 🙁

    Just moved into our new place, so we are cooking at every opportunity, and sayang was just asking, how come u don take pics of food u cook ? My answer was, beccuz i am cooking ma.. wakakakaka…..

  6. Considering the ebikko itself is RM10, not bad hor? Mine was cheaper because I bought my bag of prawns from a pasar thani for only RM10. Wheeeee… I have a really easy lemon pudding recipe too, you want?
