Low Blood Pressure

I haven't been feeling very well for the past few days. Bila bangun tido, rasa giddy, macam nak pengsan. Mula-mula aku ingatkan sebab aku tak breakfast. Tapi lepas makan pun, still rasa mcm tu. I was so worried. Then aku called As, mintak her advice. The first question yang As tanya was "Are you pregnant?". hehehe... the answer to that is NO!. So that rule out the pregnancy issue. As cakap maybe sebab anemia, or it can also be low sugar or low blood pressure.

Then tadi aku pegi Klinik Jaya kat Melawati ni. Doctor check, tengok2 my blood pressure is too low. It was 110/60+. Patut la asyik rasa mcm nak pengsan je. Doctor pesan suruh minum 100 plus or ORS, ie, increase my fluid and salt intake. Rasanya aku dah minum banyak air. Everyday, at least 2 litre of plain water and I tried my best to stay away from taking caffeine or carbonated drinks. I hope tomorrow I'll feel much better.

Since aku rasa mcm pening2 lalat bila duduk depan pc lama2, I'll just up the photo of another udang dish yang aku masak last week.


Prawns with Chilies
I was inspired by Kylie Kwong in Cooking with Heart & Soul. Bila teringat her recipe tu, teringin nak buat dengan prawns. Dulu masa Iman and Iffah kecik2, aku selalu goreng squids as Kylie Kwong's recipe. The recipe is very simple.

Ingredients
1/2 kg Prawns - shelled, tinggal ekor je, remove the head too plus the intestinal tract.
1 cup of flour (plain flour tau)
2 tbs chili powder
1 1/2 tbs salt

Cara2
1. Prawns yang dah basuh, lap kering2 guna kitchen towel. If possible guna scott's (hehhe.. buat promotion utk company Anne)
2. Pastu ambik ziploc bag, masukkan flour, chili powder and salt, shake well. Then masukkan prawn yang dah dilap kering.
3. Shake vigorously. Make sure prawns tak pening ye, nanti yg makan pun pening kepala.. hehe
4. Then, masukkan the prawns dalam siever, sieve remaining flour from the prawns.
5. Panaskan kuali, goreng the prawns. Kalau suka, boleh campak cili kering yg dah di potong and daun kari dalam prawns tu utk bagi dia extra kick.
