CHICKEN SANDWICH

Assalamualaikum all, Tired of eating rice everyday? We do, sometimes. And some other times are because ibu is either too busy or too lazy to prepare rice for dinner.  How about sandwich for a change? However, you need to have the correct ingredients to make it happen. This is an outdated entry of my CHICKEN SANDWICH . Chicken sandwich The chicken for this sandwich came from a roasted chicken I made earlier. Knowing that there's chicken leftover, I grabbed a french loaf from a supermarket (bayar ye! bukan main rembat je!!) and headed home. The making was so easy. It depends on one's creativity and taste. My ingredients 1 french loaf - cut into 4 portions and halved. Sliced roasted chicken Spread - Mayo, mustard, tomato ketchup Sliced cheese - only for Hakim Veges - salad, tomato, onion How I made it Toast the loaf on both sides. I used the griller on hot stove. For Hakim's (with cheese), I let the cheese melt on the loaf while toasting. Once done,

Santan-less Chicken Rendang

Assalamualaikum dear readers, Sabrina is allergic to coconut milk. A severe case is when she was in Standard one. She had just a lick of the coconut milk while at a day care which landed her on a hospital bed for more than a week. As she grows older, she is very cautious with the ingredients that are in her food. Experience teaches her to be more cautious as asthma attack is definitely something that you can act lighly upon. As Ibu, I have to creatively modify the ingredients to suit her. Therefore, here goes how I make my Santan-less Chicken Rendang . Perhaps there are someone out there who are facing the same problem. The ingredients: 2 stalk of lemon grass 2 inches of ginger 1 inch of fresh tumeric 2 large onions 4 red chillis 10 small chillis (cili padi) Blend all the above ingredients in a blender till fine. Other ingredients: Chicken - Cleaned and cut into small pieces to your liking. I leave the skin on this time. 1 cup of evaporated milk tumeric leaves -

Eidul Adha

Assalamualaikum. Salam Eid Adha (belated - dah 13 Zulhijjah) Wanted to update this earlier but my hands are tied-up with many tasks. Walked by the PC but unable to get a click on it. This is what we had in the morning of Eidul Adha. A simple breakfast enjoyed by our small family. Servings are ready. Eat only after Solat Eid (sunnah) Lemang (bought earlier), rendang (santan-less), soto (soup), nasi impit. Closer look at the dish. Sabrina cannot take santan, therefore I opt for santan-less rendang and soto for her. Ayah does not like nasi impit, therefore the rendang and lemang is for him. Atikah mentioned Lontong , hurriedly I made some for her in the morning. Hakim and me? We love everything here. Alhamdulillah. Wassalam.
