Pressed Rice with Chicken Peanut Sauce (Nasi Himpit dgn Kuah Kacang Ayam)

Today we had Raya-Like breakfast, not because of special celebration but because I wanted to send some to our friend Che & Charlie before they leave Miri. Hopefully this will make up for the coming Raya (Idh) which they are going to miss this year.
