Szechuan Hot Pot
Ahhhh... spicy hot pot mania! 
Lamb, beef, tripe, artificial crab meat, enoki mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, pork balls, fish balls, octopus balls, cuttlefish+calamari balls... man, that's a helluva lotta BALLS! Spicy as the soup is, the real killer still lies in the condiments. Wifey chopped up some Thai chili and raw garlic, and mixed 'em up for dipping into. Spicy and pungent. YUM! I was sweating buckets by the end of the meal!
A feast fit for a... spicy couple.
Yummy soup... and equally yummy fingers... yummm!

Dried Prawn Sambal
Hubby and I love to eat dried prawn sambal and I have been looking and trying out a few recipes but somehow they didn't come close to what my tastebuds believed it should taste like ... well, that is, until today.
I found a recipe on this website: 32ashburtonroad.com and decided to give it a try. I put in all the optional ingredients and did not exactly follow the measurements. We both love dried prawns so I put that in abundance. It's a bit expensive to get dried chillies over here and I happened to chance upon grounded dried chillies and used that instead in abundance as well 
Basically you just need the following ingredients:
garlic (1 or 2 cloves - the last time I added too much garlic and gave the sambal a weird taste which I thought was because of the dried chillies)
onion
dried chillies
lemon grass
a bit of sugar
don't forget the dried prawns
lime leaves (1 or 2)
oil for frying
My blender kind of died on me the other day so I used the toastmaster chopper instead. If you are the sort who needs the portions, kindly do visit the website given. I tried giving a lot of zing by adding Death Sauce but somehow it got drowned out and was just mildly spicy so I will add a ton more the next time I prepare it. Well, the picture is a bit blurry as I took the picture without my glasses .. hehe
