Halal Food Hunt

Imagine this. You have no idea what to cook. And even if you did, you don't know where to find the Halal ingredients. And on top of that, you're working on a budget!!
Sound familiar? Well - fret no more!!

HALAL FOOD HUNT TO THE RESCUE!!!

I think those scenarios above are actually quite common and I'm guessing you've probably been caught in many more similar situations and you just wish you had someone to help. Well, the ladies from Halal Food Hunt are here to make it really simple for you.

What exactly do they do? Well, they
Go out and source for Halal ingredients
They make videos that show you how to cook dishes with the ingredients they buy
You can then buy the Recipe Packs from them and cook away
They will even deliver the Recipe Packs to your doorstep!!!

Well, if that's not making things simpler for us then I'm not sure what you wanna call it...
What a great idea right?? They make it so simple that all we have to do is order the recipe pack and then cook! No more need to hunt for ingredients and even if you were to find them outside, no more need to figure out what to do with those ingredients!

But don't take my word for it... I'll let the ladies tell you themselves...



You can head down to their website HERE and order the recipe packs.
Recipe packs can range from Western faves like their Mega Burger and pasta dishes to Asian dishes like Fried Carrot Cake, Nasi Lemak and Wanton Noodles and even sides and desserts like Prawn Popiah and Red Velvet Cupcakes! YUM!!

Ordering is really easy too and they even deliver the pack to your doorstep!!
Lazy people like me confirm happy!! LOL

Anyways the great news is that Season 2 is finally here!!
And guess what - The Halal Food Blog Team were lucky enough to be invited down to try some of their dishes!! Power or what!

Halal Food Hunt Team with 1/2 of The Halal Food Blog Team

We got a chance to try their version of Teriyaki Chicken Wings and also some Chocolate Truffles!
And you can see in the video just how much we actually enjoyed the dishes!!
(Seriously I'm not kidding you can literally see the look on my face)

Well, most of the time you're reading our words so for those of you who miss hearing our voices, here's the video for your enjoyment!! (Please ah make sure you enjoy!)



And let me just repeat myself in case you didn't case it the first two times...
THE FOOD WAS THE BOMB!!

Teriyaki Wings (image from Halal Food Hunt)

The Teriyaki Wings were excellent! Juicy and tender chicken wings with a delicious sweet teriyaki glaze! I'm the Chicken Wings guy and I can eat my fair share and these were really good!

I especially like a little bit of char on the skin so you have some crispy parts. The wings were so tasty that you won't even need any extra chilli sauce! Sedap giler!!

The Chocolate Truffles were a big surprise because we didn't really know what to expect. We've had truffles from shops before but how would home-made ones fare? After all, it's difficult to make truffles right??



Oh my how wrong we were! It's so easy and the result was spectacular!
The chocolate ganache was rich and the dark chocolate taste was delicious when in contrast with the sweet chocolate! And let me tell you... when you pop it into your mouth, prepare for a literal 'explosion' of chocolate!! (Oh you'll see how good it is by the look on my face in the videot)

2 excellent dishes - so easy to make and economical too! Cut out the hassle from your cooking with the Recipe Packs!!

You can actually view the episodes on the Chocolate Truffles HERE and the one for the Teriyaki Chicken Wings HERE.
And more importantly - you can order the Recipe Packs from their site HERE!!!

In fact, we loved it so much that we'd like you to have some too! (But you gotta cook it yourself!)
That's right! The Halal Food Blog & Halal Food Hunt are giving you a chance to win Recipe Packs and have your own fun cooking up a storm and feasting on your resulting glory!!

Prata Scholar Workshop @ Casuarina Curry

Advertorial

Hey everyone! Looking for something fun and unique to do AND get stuffed with prata at the same time? Well, we have just the thing for you!!!

Casuarina Curry is an icon when the topic of Prata is brought up. It's been around for ages and is one of the most popular prata places in Singapore. In fact, it's my mum's favourite!!

Well besides offering dozens of Prata variations, Thosai, Mee Goreng and Briyani, Casuarina is now also offering the chance to learn first-hand how to make Prata like the pros and then reward yourself with as much prata as you can eat afterwards! Perfect for family outings or gatherings with friends. And the kids are sure to love it!!

Mr Baboo - The Prata Professional

A real Prata Professional is on hand to show you the ropes and teach you the tricks on how to flip the perfect prata. Mr Baboo has been flipping pratas for a long time so he surely knows what he's doing right? And he's the real deal too... How can we be so sure?

If he can do this, he's a professional

Anyways don't worry he's got most of the stuff ready for you when you arrive.
So all you'll need to bring are your hands and a sporting attitude and you'll be flipping prata in no time! Let me show you how it's done *ahem ahem*

Step 1 - Flatten it out

Step 2 - Flip it (Flip it good!)

Step 3 - Stretch it out

Step 4 - Realize you need a bit more practice

My first try EVER at making prata and it was actually really fun. I initially thought it was sure to be a cinch and "confirmed no problem one lah!!" and the I realized it's a lot harder than it looks! But it was really fun!

I actually ruined my first one before I even had a chance to flip it because I pressed to hard when I flattened it out. But once you try it a few times you start to get the hang of it.

Let's see how Mein Brudder fared...

Looks like not bad right... Even Mr Baboo looks impressed..
And then suddenly...

Check out Mr Baboo! Totally LOL-ing.
Okay never mind... Maybe we should try it together...

Ready to flip (check out my face of concentration)

FLIP!!

SUCCESS!!!

Mr Baboo gives us the thumbs up!

Okay so maybe we both need more practice but this Prata Workshop is actually something really unique. I'm not aware of anywhere else that you can go and learn the ropes to making prata like this.
And like we said it's great fun especially for the kids!!

Great activity with the family on a weekend out or even with a bunch of friends who want to try something new just for fun and laughs. Got some friends or guests from out of town? Perfect chance to show them some of our local food culture!!

Anyways, the good news is that the price you pay is not just flip pratas.
You also get ALL THE PRATA YOU CAN EAT plus one drink! Is that a great deal or what!!!

YEAAHHHH!!!

So for $15, you not only great a great session of prata-making but you also get to wolf down all the prata you can stomach too! I can think of a few people who would definitely jump at such an offer!
We are talking about Casuarina Prata! one of the pioneers of Crispy Prata in Singapore and you get an unlimited supply of prata til you are filled to the max!

Pssssttt here's a tip for you all... The $15 price applies to unlimited Plain Prata (aka Prata Kosong) only... top up with a few more dollars and you could enjoy the special pratas too!! We're talking about more than a dozen types of prata to choose from!! Trust us - that's a great deal!

And you get a nice souvenir certificate too! Something for the kids to hang up on their wall.
Who knows... if I ever visit a prata place in future and I see this certificate hanging on the wall of the shop, I'll know Mr Baboo's student is running the joint!!

They've got several time slots daily so this will be great for the holidays too!
Start planning now and book your places for this coming weekend!!
