Nasi Lemak - homemade

made everything at home with God's grace

chilli was made right from fresh chilli

Qty: 15 fresh sticks

Can make into at least 20 serving of chilli

I made into 2 types, one is the typical plain sweet nasi lemak chilli

the other is the one with added big bawang (onion) and ikan bilis (anchovies)

Coconut rice, sunny side up egg, fish fillet & bergedil

Result: ***** (5 stars grading) heehee ^_^ by family members

in the end, there wasn't enough rice....so we made another set with half rice...look out for it in my next posting.

Chong Pang Nasi Lemak

finally we made the trip to find the place at sembawang road

the place is very simply decorated, bare minimum

the selection of dishes were great

actually look more like an economical rice stall

Preparing to bake

too bad i didn't manage to get a pic of the cake upright when it came out of

the oven.

verdict: I didn't like such type of soft on the inside cake.

Cooking@home - Spaghetti

pork meat mushroom tomatoes sauce spaghetti

make sure the spaghetti is well-cooked before serving.

Sweet Bun

Points to note
1) do not press on the dough that has rise - this will cause the air to be release and the bread wont turn out to be nice when bake.
2) do let the final bread dough rise twice in size before baking
