Ayam Masak 3 Sos (Chicken In 3 Sauces)

 At first I was thinking to cook rendang but then I wanted to reduce the calories a bit by avoiding coconut milk and hence came up with the idea to replace the coconut milk with three types of sauces. Outcome was very nice and whole family enjoyed it.

Sugee Black Cherry Square

 We had BBQ at the boat club beach last Saturday for farewell to Mike T who retired from the company. He was such a nice boss that I decided to bake something for the occasion. I wasn't very sure what he likes so I baked two things - Apple Crumble served with custard sauce and Sugee Black Cherry Square.
I posted a similar cake earlier on here.

Beef Balls in Black Pepper Sauce (Bebola Daging Masak Sos Lada Hitam)

 My kids love Black Pepper Beef but this time I minced the meat and turned it into balls. The beef balls were then deep fried until crispy and they love it s much - soft in the inside and crispy in the outside.

I always made my own minced meat instead of buying ready minced - that way you can be sure of good quality. More importantly I don't have to wash the minced meat and therefore the meat balls will not break while frying but remain solid. Wash the meat & drain well before mincing.

Multigrain Rice Porridge (Bubur Organik)

 Hi there..... am still very busy and taking little bit of time to relax in the week-end after a whole week of hard work in the office - worked throughout lunch time and till late night.... and will be traveling and another busy coming week, so you will not be hearing much from me for another week or so.

Sharing a recipe herewith which is a good solution for busy working women to prepare healthy meal for the family. My Dutch colleague, Ramon gave me a packet of Organic Multigrain Rice which he highly recommended after I told him I dislike brown rice. He assured me this one is very tasty and I should cook it like white rice and serve with meat & veg dishes. However, I wanted to try something else - something similar to Bubur Asyura that my friend, CT gave me last time here, which she mixed her own grain and cooked using a slow cooker. I can still recall how delicious it was.
 I just bought the slow cooker yesterday. Just dump all the ingredients in it at night & when you wake up first thing in the morning your breakfast is ready! That way I spent less time in the kitchen and have more time to relax and play with my little princess. More importantly, cooking in slow cooker will preserve the nutrients because foods do not evaporate - no loss of moisture and therefore healthy meal......!
 I was kind of embarrassed when I learn from the label that it is product of Malaysia but introduced to me by a foreigner. The porridge was very delicious and will try to create something more from this product later when I'm less busy.
