Sambal Goreng Singapura

It's a week full of open houses... so more food.... and FAT! hellpppp!!

Anyway, this morning I decided to cook Nik's fav dish.... sambal goreng. It was a brunch because by the time I finished cooking, it was already 11am....

This is my mom's special dish. I hardly find it here but in Singapore, this dish is quite well known. And my mom's sambal goreng is the best.... She even courier it to the States during Syawal when I was studying there... LOL! Actually, I made it a few times already, but today, I went blank... didn't even know where to start.... so I gave my mom a call... and here goes...

Sambal Goreng Singapore

Bahan A
1/2 kg of hati and paru
Rebus and potong dadu (about 1/2inch size) - rebus hati for about 10-15 mins but paru however, you will need to boil for about 1.5 - 2 hrs, or you'll be chewing it forever...
Then fry (just enough to dry them - about 5 mins of frying)
Set aside

Bahan B
Slice thinly 2 red chillies, 3 shallots and 5 dried chillis
Set aside

Then, blend about 7-8 shallots, 4 garlic, 10 dried chilli (cili kering) and 5-6 lemon grass
Heat up your pan and use about 5 tbsp oil (I used olive oil) to fry Bahan A.
Fry the blended mixture for about 5-10 mins, Add a bit more oil if needed to make sure the mixture cooks well
Add brown sugar and salt, to taste (I added about 3 tbsp sugar because the dried chilli I bought from Tesco is soooo pedasss!
Add half pack of coconut milk (about 5 tbsp)
Add half cup of water
Thrown in Bahan A (fried) and Bahan B.
Cover your pot and let the mixture boil over low heat (about 15 mins)

Voillaaa!!!

This was served with my kurma ayam and nasi minyak..... errgghhhh... marvellous!

To Be or Not To Be

Deadlines were over…. Yesterday was my last day here…. And today marks a whole new beginning of my career life here….. I could be wrong or I could be right for making this decision… but I’ve made up my mind to take up the challenges, nonetheless. I know I’m subjecting myself to a lot of hardwork as well as criticism, scrutiny and observation from the rest……. and time definitely has to be compromised. But being a risk taker…. I am, I know I just have to pull myself together and face the obstacles - one at a time. It’s too late to undo things anyway and the best thing to do is to be positive. Both legs are in and it’s time to march towards the horizon with pride and dignity. Only time can answer the doubts that I have in me now… meanwhile, I need all the luck that I can have.

It was Nik's Birthday

It was my husband’s birthday yesterday and we took the day off to ‘merewang’ while feeling young, kononnya. The theme of the celebration? Reminiscing the days when we were courting back in 1993 minus the snow.... ancient sungguh rasanya! We had our breakfast at O’Brien’s early in the morning and took a slow stroll along the shops in OU and enjoyed every minute of it (at 10am in the morning, mind you, and the shops were barely opened). Later we watched ‘Lake House’ and we were charged RM12 only for 2 tickets (the early bird tickets were so damn cheap, I almost fainted!). There were only a few couples inside and we took the opportunity to sit right at the middle (ikut suka hati), since the theater was quite empty. How was the movie? Hmm… ok la, I would say it was the right movie for the occasion… hehe. A bit slow though, biasa la, romantic piece. The ending part was quite ‘touchy’ and yes, Mr Reeves was so stunningly handsome (oh yes, nampak tua sikit la and still got the looks).

Antara Anyir & Jakarta

I’ve been making regular monthly trips to KLIA since my husband was posted to Jakarta last year. And yesterday….. again, I made my ‘latest trip’ there to send him off (after the recent trip that I had on 3/3/06 when I picked him up from KLIA to spend his 10 solid-days holiday with me and the kids here in KL). Time sure flew fast when you wished for the earth to stop and let you enjoy your 10 days just a little bit longer. Nevertheless, the ‘most awaited 10-days’ was over…..Nik is now back in Jakarta and I’m now back in my office, sitting in my chair, swiveling around every 10 minutes, gazing lazily at the workload dumped on my desk and trying very hard to find every energy stored in my body just to touch those piles of paper…. argh! But the 10-days period was spent joyfully. We took the weekend off last week for a quickie getaway at Cyberview Lodge Resort & Spa…. and oh boy! the resort is spectacular and the view is breathtakingly-beautiful. Of course, the children were the happies
