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!

A Walk to Remember!?

Finally, I’m writing…. The trip to Singapore was fun…. And also, full of crazy moments.. heheh… Clockwise : The Q @ immigration, street performers @ Orchard, moi infront of Far East Plaza, Nik chilling out @ Starbucks Suntec CT & my precious new sandal... I like!! We left KL after Subuh & managed to reach Johor around 10am. The trip was a short one so we decided to leave the kids behind. It was a smooth ride on a cool & very breezy morning with just enough sun all the way (yes, made me sleepy also!). I took some cool pictures along the way and later discovered that I accidently deleted all of the scenery pics from my camera.... *sigh* Sometimes I can be more than the word 'clumsy' could describe... Anyway, we wanted to enter Singapore via TUAS, then I remembered that we didn’t even have a single cent of S$, so we drove down to JB town and looked for money changer. Then I thought…. no harm of taking the Causeway since it was a Sunday and I was so damn sure that traf...

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). ...
