Ayam Masak Merah Wangi

I cooked ayam masak merah for dinner last night.  I managed to get this simple yet delicious recipe from Kak Ros from here.  This is the first time I tried this recipe and I am happy with the result.  I will definitely try again.  Happy trying !!

I copy the recipe here for easy reference

Source : http://www.jintanmanis.com/ayam/
Bahan-bahannya
1/2 ekor ayam ( dipotong 5 ke 6 bahagian kecil)
2 sudu besar cili kisar
3 biji bawang merah ( boleh ganti dgn 1/4 biji bawang besar) +1 ulas bawang putih ( dikisar halus)
1 batang serai
1 batang kulit kayu manis
2 sudu besar sos cili
1/4 biji bawang besar dihiris kasar
1/2 biji tomato
1/2 cawan kacang peas ( ros guna kacang peas dalam tin cap ayam brand)
garam
gula

Cara-caranya
1. Gaul ayam dengan kunyit , garam dan 2 sudu besar tepung gandum atau tepung goreng ayam. Goreng separuh masak. Angkat dan ketepikan.
2.  Kisar bawang putih dan bawang besar, kalau tumbuk halus pun boleh, ros guna blender sebab takde lesung batu. Panaskan minyak dan tumis kulit kayu manis tadi, bila dah naik bau baru masukkan bahan kisar dan cili kisar, tumis hingga garing.
3. Selepas itu masukkan serai yang telah dititik ataupun yang telah dipotong dua, kacau sebati, tomato di potong kecil dan masukkan dalam bahan tumisan tadi, biarkan tomato betul-betul hancur, baru masukkan sos cili.
4. Setelah kuah agak pekat, baru masukkan ayam yang telah digoreng tadi. Gaul sebati, sesuaikan rasa, masukkan garam dan sedikit gula, akhir sekali baru masukkan kacang peas dan bawang besar, setelah bawang besar layu, tutup api dan tabur sedikit dengan hirisan daun sup atau daun ketumbar sedia untuk dihidangkan. Ros suke ayam masak merah ni, sebab dia wangi, penambahan serai dan kulit kayu manis tu membangkitkan lagi selera dan aromanya. Selamat Mencuba.

Holiday Mood

Today is my last working day in this organisation and I will be off for 1 week before I start with the challenges.  Too sad leave all my beloved colleagues and bosses but I have to look forward to build my career.  I am going to miss all of you.

Selamat Hari Raya to all the muslim friends and Happy Birthday to Malaysia on 31st August 2011.  To those who balik kampung, berhati-hati di jalan raya.

Yam Kuih (Or Kuih)

Last Sunday, my mum wanted to clear her little garden in front of the house compound.  She planted yam, lemongrass and daun kesum there and she want to get rid of the yam plant and she asked me to do something with it.

I made yam kuih with the yam we harvested from our little garden.  The recipe is the same like how I make pumpkin kuih here.

The only different is I sliced the yam and steamed it, while it still hot, smashed the yam but make sure you leave some small pieces. Happy trying

I captured this with my handphone so it is not clear.  There are 2 version here.  Fry it or garnished it with red chillies, spring onion and fried shallot.

Another close up.  I took this photo this morning in the office as I brought some for my colleagues.

Packing and Packing

Why packing ? Am I going anywhere ? Yes, I am leaving for good !!!

This week will be my last week in this organisation.  After that I will take one week off before I start my new career path again in a more challenging environment.

Yesterday was my 4th year anniversary in this company and I know I am going to miss my bosses and colleagues here.  Yes, 4 years and this is the second longest organisation I worked before.  The longest organisation I worked was almost 9 years.

I have start to pack my personal belonging and documents where I keep them in office most of the time.  I also start to handover my work to my colleagues. I am going to miss all of them here. 

Weekend

It was 7.07am and I heard my phone ringing telling me that there was SMS.  I was thinking who send me SMS on Saturday early morning.  When I open the SMS, it was not a good news.  My ex-colleague send me a SMS saying my daughter's nanny passed away on Friday because of breast cancer.  My ex-colleague is her immediate neighbour and she take care of Cyn when she was 5 years old after she returned from kindergarten everyday for almost 1 year. Aunty Alice was a soft-spoken lady and she will never scold Cyn.  I brought Cyn to her house on Saturday night to pay her the last respect.  May her soul rest in peace.

On Sunday, we went to Aeon Bukit Tinggi and had lunch at Boston Restaurant located at 1st Floor.  They had Budget Lunch promotion for RM 5.95.  So, I told my hubby to give it a try.  They are famous of steamboat and this is first time we stepped in this restaurant. 

Honey Chicken Rice - RM 5.95

Ice Lemon Tea - RM 5.95

Overall the food was average but the Ice Lemon Tea was very nice because it is as expensive as the rice.  

After lunch, we went to Jusco for window shopping.
