So it was Andrew's birthday, and since I did not have any gifts prepared in advance, (no time, no money) and since I feel bad because I won't join the guys to the bar (drinking, since he is officially legal now =.= ), I told him I'll cook anything he's craving for (Malaysian food duh).
We went from :
Steak - it was pretty good the last time I tried making, but one turned out REALLY raw but Andrew gobbled it down anyway =.=
Pig's Trotters with Ginger and Black Vinegar - a Cantonese dish, I think they serve it to pregnant ladies a lot, but I won't ever eat it (EWW!) so we decided against it although I wouldn't mind cooking it.
And finally chicken rice - I cooked it for the first time during Chinese New Year in February, and it turned out pretty good.
So it's chicken rice. And Andrew requested for "SHIT LOADS OF BEAN SPROUTS - A LOT A LOT A LOT", I've decided to try out Ipoh Bean Sprout Chicken Rice or 芽菜鸡 in Cantonese.
With the recipe from Rasa Malaysia I am proud to present,
SUCCESS! (it doesn't look much different from the previous one, but really, it's better. A lot.)
I think it turned out so much better than my first attempt during Chinese New Year. My first attempt was okay, but it was a bit sloppy - slightly raw in some areas and a pretty messy presentation. Practice makes perfect huh. I'm proud. AND! I cut the chickens (we had two chickens) on my own! The last time, I had a senior help me with it as I never knew how to cut a chicken. I know my brother cuts chicken like a pro, but that has always been his part of the job when we're cooking at home. Well. More practice and my chicken cutting skills would be perfect. :D
Yay I'm full. And sleepy now. *contented*
I still have a lot on the list of food I want to try making. Like Creme Brulee. Mille Crepe. Hotdog buns. Chee Cheong Fun (which I did try but didn't turn out very well - need to improvise). Yau Char Kuai!
Food glorious food!
