30 dried chilies (deseeded and soaked and lightly boiled to soften)
10 shallots
5 cloves garlic
2 tbs dried shrimps, soaked to soften
6 tbs of cooking oil
1 pack of yellow noodles (scalded)

Method:
Blend the chili paste ingredients with a mini food processor until finely ground and well blended. Heat up the wok and add cooking oil. Stir fry the chili paste until frangrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
Add 3 litres of water into a pot of all the prawn heads and shells, onion and tomatoes and bring it to boil. Then simmer on low heat for about 2 hours or longer until the stock becomes cloudy. Strain the stock and transfer it into another pot.
Blend the prawn heads, shells, onion and tomatoes in the food processor. Strain the stock and add in the pot. Remove the orange "foam" forming at the top of the stock. Bring the stock to boil again and add in the chili paste. You can add more chili paste if you like it spicier.
In another pot, boil the shelled prawns in 500ml of water and remove once they turn pink. Add the stock produced into to other pot of stock and let it boil for about ten minutes. and simmer for another twenty minutes. (If you prefer the soup to be reddish in colour and thicker, add a can of Campbell's tomato soup.)
Add rock sugar, salt and fish sauce to taste. Turn off the heat.
To serve, place a portion of yellow noodles, rice vermicelli in a bowl. Ladle hot stock over. Top with boiled prwans, steamed vegetables and sprinkle with shallot crisps and chopped coriander sprigs. Serve immediately.

Aladin Sushi & Cafe : Halal Japanese Eatery in Bangkok
Alhamdulillah we are back on the land of smiles...usually or let's say most of the time I'd be the first in the queue of passengers going on board but yesterday...huh...we left the house late and by the time we reached the airport we were the last to check in...on the dot...45 minutes before departure. After checking in, we decided to have a drink at McD. After the drink we practically strolled towards the departure hall and departure gate only to find out that all the other passengers had gone on board. We were the only couple left!!!! We almost missed the plane as the minute we sat down, right at the back next to the loo, the doors were armed and it took off shortly after that...phew...what a day!
It was raining when we landed...since our friend could not pick us up from the airport, we decided to take a cab to our favourite Japanese Restaurant, Aladin Sushi & Cafe at Soi Suan Mani, off Pracha Utit Road, Huay Kwang. It was raining very heavily and we finally reached the restaurant at 7,00pm. Both of us were starving as the last meal we had was at 12.30pm
A green pot of refreshing hot green tea tastes extremely good on rainy days...
My favourite dish:unagi
Keiron chooses to have beef steak...the stir fried vege is lovely.
We also had miso soup and a plate of mixed mushrooms.
Prayer room is also available here.
After dinner, we took a cab back home and ....finally...home sweet home!!!
