[Eat] Secret of Louisiana @ Kelana Jaya

There's something magical about having a wonderful meal while watching the sunset.

Secret of Louisiana is located at a rather run down area of shops in Kelana Jaya. The area is just beside Kelana Jaya park. The main attraction here for me is the view of the lake. And on this beautiful day the weather is just perfect nice breeze and clear skies. Nothing like enjoying a good meal while watching the day slowly end with a sunset. 

I ordered the Neptune something which is a generous seafood platter with crawfish, mussels, oysters, scallops, prawns and fish on top of a bed of spaghetti. The food was good, not as flavorful as I expected but good enough for me to return. The menu also has interesting Louisiana dishes like gumbo.

Overall this is a very nice place, hard to find that view anywhere else in Petaling Jaya. The food is good, at least it's a pass in my books. So if I ever want a relaxing dinner, this would definitely be a place I would consider.

[Cook] Prawn Spaghetti

An awesome spaghetti with gorgeous prawn flavours and a kick from cili padi.

INGREDIENTS

Prawns	10
Cherry Tomatoes	250g
Parsley	Handful
Lemon	0.5
Onion	1 bulb
Garlic	5 cloves
Cili Padi	8

STEPS
- Cook spaghetti till al-dente, set aside some pasta water for later. 
(you can time it so spaghetti is cooked in parallel with the steps below)
- Add a generous amount of olive oil, about 6 tbsp.
- Fry garlic and onion until brown.
- Add cili padi and cherry tomatoes and fry for a minute.
* For the cili padi I simply cut off the top and added them whole. This allows me to easily pick them out later
- Add prawns and fry until just turned red.
- Throw in chicken stock and cover pan to allow it to steam and retain all the wonderful prawn juices. 
- After 3 mins throw in the spaghetti and a bit of pasta water.
- Toss everything together and season as needed. 
- Turn off heat and chop up and add the fresh parsley


This has definitely become one of my favourite recipes!
The pasta captured the wonderful flavors of the prawns and I think will work well with any shelled seafood (lala, crabs etc)
