♥...Ayam Seri Harum / Fragrant Chicken...♥

Image
Synonym to the title, this chicken dish is truly a fragrant and aromatic one. Thanks a ton to Kak Nor of Secubitgaram for this wonderful recipe...you made my day kak! Was scratching my head on what to cook today as it's been raining since morning. I felt like having something really spicy too...like curry mee! Slurrpppppppp...unfortunately not! Having every ingredient as required in the recipe, I finalized on this chicken for today's menu. As for the kaffir lime leaf, I used only one piece, coz my tummy usually don't feel good if I have any food with the leaf...not sure why though. I added bird's eye chillis to make the gravy more spicier. Kak Nor, this recipe is sure a keeper for me! I loved it...so do my kids! We had it with plain rice and raita. Really it's so delicious..2 thumbs up!!! Okey, let's check out the yummy recipe. AYAM SERI HARUM / FRAGRANT CHICKEN by KakNor, Secubitgaram Ingredients :~ 3 / 4 chicken ~ cut free form 1 / 2 tsp salt 1 / 2

♥...Mayonnaise Saucy Chicken...♥

Experiments with frequent trial and errors make good cooks. I'm thriving to be one, so thus the endless learning in cooking field. This time, I experimented chicken and mayonnaise. Hahahaha, sorry for posting another chicken dish so soon! None can deny my love towards chicken! :) An idea struck me when I was preparing Hot & Spicy Mayonnaise Prawn Fry recently. The combination of sauces and mayonnaise with fried chicken, did it's magic actually. Prepared specially for the kids, non-spicy Received good comment and compliments from my son, who is currently my food tester ( Hubby away in Canada ). Personally, I too liked the creamy chicken. Something different than the usual spiced fried chickens I make. I'm sure this is not the end, as I'll be coming out with another experiment real soon! For now, sharing with you the first one... simple but a satisfaction for sure, I hope the same with you too! ( with crossed fingers ) ;) MAYONNAISE SAUCY CHICKEN by love

♥...Quick Tofu Fa with Lychees...♥

Reposting my Quick Tofu Fa , which I've shared with you HERE before. Often sold in pasar malam (night markets), this is one dessert liked by almost everyone. As you know, it's made from soybean. Check WIKI for more info on this mouthwatering dessert... I used smooth tofu rather than making it as per actual procedure. Hehehe...it's called the lazy version of mine...but a quick one though! Of course it don't taste as the authentic tofu fa, but it's good enough for me when I crave for it... This time round, I steamed the smooth tofu, let it cool first and added chilled can lychee syrup and fruits. Don't forget to drain excessive water from the tofu before adding the sugar syrup. You may sub with any other fruits that you prefer... QUICK TOFU FA WITH LYCHEES Steam Smooth Tofu for 10-15 minutes. Drain excessive water emerged from the tofu. Leave the tofu to cool. Scoop few slices gently and fill into individual serving bowl. Add chilled lychee fruits an
