Sambal Udang Petai

Petai or stinky bean !  It is either you love it or you hate it.  My hubby hates petai and he won't consume petai at all but Cyn loves it so much.  So, I cooked sambal udang petai yesterday for dinner and Cyn ate 2 plates of rice.

Homemade Sambal 
20 dry red chilies (soak in water before grinding)
5 shallot (skin peeled and sliced)
5 cloves of garlic (skin peeled)
Belacan (a size of your thumb)
5 tbsp of cooking oil

Method
1) Blend all the ingredients
2) Heat oil in a wok and pour in the blended ingredients.
3) Cook till the oil separated from the mixture.
4) Cool and store for future use

This my multi purpose sambal which I also used for my laksa sarawak.

Sambal Udang Petai
30pcs of prawn (shelled and deveined)
1 cup peeled petai
1 tbsp of homemade sambal (add more if you like more spicy).  I used less sambal because Cyn can't eat too spicy.
1/2 cup water
1 tbsp tamarind pulp (mixed with 1/2 cup water & strained)
2 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
1 onion cut into ring

Method
1) Heat up cooking oil, add in the homemade sambal and stir-fry until fragrant.
2) Add in the onion & fry for a while
3) Add in the prawn & continue to stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes. Now, you can add in the petai.
4) Lastly add in tamarind juice, bringing it to a quick boil. Add in salt and sugar.

Sport Day

Maine's kindy organised Sport Day last Sunday in on of the primary school hall here.

Maine was very excited as she wake up very early to get herself ready.  She was actually for about a week already.  She was having fever and cough last week.  Since she had recovered before Sunday, I allowed her to join the Sport Day.

Her team won the competition and she was given with a medal.  Her very first medal.  She also took part in tug of war.  The children are so cute in the tug of war.  Just imagine 4 years old children doing tug of war.  For tug of war, her team loses however she had so much of fun.  The event lasted for about 3 hours.  Besides, the medal she also received an angry bird balloon.

With too much of fun, she fall sick again on Monday.  Brought her to specialist clinic and the doctor said she had 2 big ulcers near her tonsil.  Poor girl.  No wonder she had no appetite to eat.  Just have to ensure that she drinks lots of water.
