Yours truly is blogging from the foyer overlooking the tennis courts again. Darling husband is having is weekly tennis practise with his teammates. I think I will make it a weekly ritual to blog from the tennis courts/club. =). Since, we're talking tennis....a little update on Roger Federer's Australian Open journey.....He will now be facing Andy Roddick in the Semi Finals after beating Juan Martin Del Potro in straight sets giving the poor kid 2 bagels!! Yay, Roger!!
Anyway, I made
Nasi Lemak (Coconut Rice) served with hard boiled eggs, fresh sliced cucumber, anchovie sambal, toasted peanuts and rendang chicken for dinner tonite. We invited Chris over for a quick dinner and beer as we have to head out to the tennis courts later. =). Nasi Lemak is a very popular Malaysian Dish, has a little kick to it and is very flavorful.
A close up on the Nasi Lemak I made, served also on a piece of banana leaf! =). I have to admit, the Chicken Rendang was not from scratch. I cheated using this mix I got from an online store, and added some Chicken and Lemon Grass. The rendang mix really surprised me as it turned out way better than expected. I've used different kind of ready made rendang mix in the past, and most of them are rather disappointing!
Therefore, I am recommending this paste to those who does not have the patience or time to grind spices, toast coconut and the whole works to prepare rendang. Give this Claypot brand Chicken Rendang mix a try! You just need to add chicken and water! I added some lemon grass to mine, to give it a more homemade look and flavor .=) I give this a 2 thumbs up!
