Nasi Lemak and assorted dishes

Last Thursday was Nasi Lemak day a.k.a happy day.

Cooked a few dishes.
Some not really normal nasi lemak fare but it worked in general and well received.


ladies finger with sambal har-bee (dried shrimp)..
the boys all time favorite.

egg sambal,
the std supplement to the nasi lemak.
yummy and easy to make.

chicken rendang,
1st time i tried this recipe. think it turned out okay.

potato massala,
tastes much better than the ones in the lunch stalls.

sliced cucumber,
crunchy and...eer..cucumbery..
how can you have nasi lemak without this, right..? a sin.. :-)

a good meal indeed.

anti-rice campaign #2: full metal jacket potato

this time around, its fruits and vegetable.. salad made from diced red and green apples, diced cucumbers, cherry tomatoes and held together with thousand island dressing and for the main course a huge jacket potato.. made with russet potato, of course. boiled first then split in the middle and baked with garlic butter, then stuffed with more butter and leftover bolognaise sauce, sprinkled with cheese and salami bits then grilled again to melt the cheese... and finished with a dash of cayenne pepper. the salad.... the jacket potato

the pasta sauce complemented the baked potato nicely in terms of flavours and to have the melted cheese together with the salami bits in each bite was the highlight..

the "piece the resistance".

my compliments to the chef.. sprinkled with cayenne.. which gave it an extra "zing"

and, i was pleasantly surprised that the potato was quite filling

a simple and yet satisfying meal.
