Rendang Pedas Ayam Kampung ; my Guest #5...Marsita


Good day to my readers and friends, wherever you are! Thank you for stopping by my little cyberhome here ;)

Moving on to Guest Post #5. It had been a wonderful experience hosting such event as I'm getting positive feedback and support from fellow bloggers. A true honour to have tremendous cooks to share their signature recipes in my space and moreover, get to know them better. Gratitude!

Today, I would love to introduce a fellow food blogger cum a wonderful human, my friend Ms Marsita who blogs at My Mintroom. Her blog is one droolworthy space that you'll need extra tissue papers to carry along. I adore her simplicity in her blog posts. She was one of the early volunteers who readily emailed me her recipe and photos to be published for the guest post series.

Hearty thank you for the great support Mas. Your mail came in right on time when I was really thinking if anyone would voluntarily guest post for me unless I send them an invitation. God bless your kind heart. Chicken Rendang is one of my favourite chicken dishes and yours is calling my name everytime I look at the pictures! Thank you once again and am so glad to have known you too ;)

Now, over to Marsita.


"Hi, my name is Marsita, you can address me as Mas. First and foremost, zillion thanks to dear Love for opening up this wonderful opportunity to appear in her blog as a guest post. I was in hesitation to send this writings actually as Love is an excellent cook, writer as well as good in photography. But despite all those skills, Love whom I know just thru the web, is a kind hearted person, jovial and down to earth kind of person. And guess what, Love is among the bloggers that first joined my blog when I first open it up to the public.
I am the owner of http://my-mintroom.blogspot.com/ and has been blogging "openly" only last year June. Between 2009 to last year, my blog was mainly about family and only open for family. But since becoming a full time house wife last year, my passion on cooking and baking started to grow which only then I decided to open my blog to public and started to get acquanted with food blogger all around the world. I find it has a lot of excitement which encouraged me to keep continue to blog.

The recipe which I am going to share is a well known Malay dish and cooked normally during the Hari Raya festivities ~~ Rendang Pedas Ayam Kampung. This dish is one of my MIL's favourite recipe love by the family so much especially by my late FIL. I remember we use to buy old chicken each time we went home to my MIL's, coz my FIL love to eat Rendang Pedas Ayam. Its very hard to get ayam kampung then, so we will substitute it with old chicken instead. 


I hope all of you will enjoy this dish as much as my family and I love it. "
