I hadn't had time to type in an entry in the morning, like I always do...however, I did manage to snap a couple of pictures of lunch before the girls ate. The picture on the left is a plate of Nasi Lemak- without the lemak!(I made it without coconut milk and oil) For those who are unfamiliar with this Malay term, it is actually fragrant rice, cooked in coconut milk and scented with lemon grass, cinnamon sticks and cloves. It is usually served with cucumber slices, fried anchovies, some sambal (this is a very spicy sauce cooked with ground chillies and spices) and topped with a fried egg!
For dinner, we pigged out on unhealthy KFC (it's been awhile since any of us ate out or had any sort of fast food. I was craving it! *guilty*). Anyway, I baked us 2 tiny semolina puddings to have for dessert. It seemed like a good idea to have pudding after KFC as it didn't have any cream/butter and the sugar content could be reduced.
Here's the recipe which serves 2; it's from my favourite celebrity chef; Nigella Lawson. I love her writing.
500ml milk
3 tbsp fine semolina
1 egg separated
2-3 tbsp sugar
1-2 drops vanilla essence
Cook semolina in warm milk on the stove top, by gradually adding in the semolina while continuously whisking the liquid in the pot. Cook for3 tbsp fine semolina
1 egg separated
2-3 tbsp sugar
1-2 drops vanilla essence

ERmm.... so here are the ingredient..... Pls dunt tell the boss.... i'll die if she know i burst the secret here..ehhe
Rice (Royal Umbrella Jasmine Thai Rice) it's important what type of rice u use... turns the flavour out
Kara (Coconut Milk) this milk is cheaper than malaysian Ayam Brand which isn't that nice anyway.. i think Kara is best because it has a strong fresh coconut fragrance.... just like the kedai runcit back in hometown moulding it for u...hehe
Salt
Sugar
Brown Onions
Ginger
Olive Oil
pandan leafs
