BBQ/Oven toaster/pan-fry series
hey,its semester end(or beginning for some). so,you want to have party or gatherings. then, some says BBQ is the best next to pot luck and eating out(considering the money and the yet-gourmet-chef cooking skills). So, here's some suggestions, which is not the NORMAL fried rice vermicelli or hotdogs you get in NORMAL malaysian parties.(no, its alright, you burnt it ,then so be it.I told you.)
Pita Bread-My pocket meal(5 pax)(pick a method that is convinience to you-BBQ,toast,pan-fry)
Ingredients:
the Pita Bread, preferabily the white ones(the round flat bread available at stores,normally in pack of 5,cut it into halves and you get two pockets each)
1 tomato,sliced
lettuce, well cleaned, left leaves
butter(for toasting and layering)
sauces you like(like...thai chili sauce?)
slices of prepared meat(or you marinate and fry it yourself,buy from jusco market, preferably breast meat of chicken)(oh,you can buy the ready-made,roasted ones^^)
Apparatus:
BBQ grill,oven-toaster,pan,knife
Method:
1. Lay one bread flat infront of you. Cut the bread(circle) into halves (as in half-moon,or parabola)so that it'll make two pockets.
2. Lightly, trail some patterns on the outer layer of the bread with knife(criss-cross, lines, or a love ?whoops..)
3. Layer the inner and outer layer of the pockets with butter, BBQ, or toast, or pan-fry it until it is a little crisp and brownish on edges.
4. Pick the pockets up and let it cool a little before layer it with lettuce.
5. Stuff meats and tomato.
6. Finally, put some of your favourite sauce(not too much!) and eat it!^^
p/s: this is a great recipe for 'cooking out',you can pack it in packets or tupperware and enjoy it during party or picnic too!
alternatively,stir fry beaten egg,hotdog slices and the garlic chilli sauce as the filling, or any flavour of tuna of your choice!

Garlic Bread(A touch of Italian)
Ingredients:(5-6 pax)
A pack of 'hotdog buns'(usually in a pack of 5 or 6), made into thick slices(about 1/2 an inch or 1 inch)
other ingredients:
very finely chopped garlic(or mash it if you like but there would not be much aroma then)
salt
butter(or margarine,if you prefer non-animal fat)
and Italian herbs(optional)
Apparatus:
a frying pan or oven toaster, spatula(for spread and toast)
Method:
Now,the most important is to make the garlic butter. There's no specific regulations on it but generally, it would be good if the garlic and butter's propotion is 1:1. If you like it milder, tone down on the garlic ,then.After that,add a pinch of salt and herbs as you like.
I don't have to tell you to spread it on the bread and toast or pan-fry it, do I?
(Warning! Remember the strong smell of garlic and that bit of tingling sensation if you put TOO much. It'll get burn easily too.)
