impressing your friends with home cooked stuff

you do not have to be a great cook to whip up good and authentic local dishes like laksa, mee siam, chicken rice, chilli crab, mee rebus, fried hokkien mee, char kway teow, mee goreng, bak kut teh, rendang, curry and satay. all you need is to get hold of prima taste. used to be available at prima deli, centrepoint only. today, you can get them at any supermarket.

however, if you need a large pack to cater, to say, a group of 12, you still need to get it from the prima deli outlet at centrepoint.

i have tried cooking the laksa, mee siam, hainanese chicken rice and chilli crab. one thing i like about the prima pack is that the condiments are included. of course, the fresh items like bean sprouts, tau pok, chicken and prawns, you have to buy them from the market.

the end product is so good that you can set up a stall and compete with any of the hawkers at the food centres. this friend to whom we introduced the product found it so good that she asked us not to reveal the fact that it came in a pack. she had shared the food with her neighbours who were very impressed by the standard of her cooking.

when ivy goes back to melbourne, she usually has a few boxes of prima taste in her luggage.
