Got these candies from my American friend and have kept them inside the fridge for almost 6 months LOL They're too sweet for me, and I just eat them when I'm really hungry (but get nothing else to eat).
When you really hate someone and you feel like killing the person, you can order a bread of the person's looks, then eat it him/her violently like a cannibal! Just an idea. Hehe.

This was one of my (late) mother's favorite Indonesian soup. It's called "Sayur Asem" (Sour/Tamarind Soup). We usually eat this with fried salted fishes, but if it's hard for you to get them, just skip the additional fun :)
- 400gr beef and bones
- 1/4 cup raw peanuts
- 3 corn on cob, cut into 4 each
- 2 chayote or zucchini, peel, wash, discard the seed, cut into small pieces
- 200 gr long beans, but this time I used string beans, wash and cut into 4cm in length
- chili paddy/bird's eye chili, as many as you like
- 5 cloves of garlic
- 5 cloves of small red onion
- 5 candle nuts
- 1 tsp shrimp paste
- 2 tsp tamarind paste
- 1/2 tomato
- salt
- sugar
- water
Method
In a pot boil the beef and bones in water until tender. While boiling the meat, prepare the spices. In a blender put garlic, onion, candle nuts, chili, shrimp paste and tomato, grind until smooth. Put it aside. When the meat is tender enough, take it out and cut into small pieces. Put it back. Add corn, continue to boil until cooked. Add the chayote and string beans, cook for 3minutes until they are cooked (not overcooked). Add the smooth spices. Add salt and sugar and adjust the taste.

And this was one of the reason why Mom loved Singapore and always missed going there all over the time. It's Hainanese Chicken Rice, but you can find it in the whole city/country of Singapore. She also only ordered this food when we dined out in any Singaporean restaurant here.
- 1 (2-pound) chicken
- 1 scallion, cut into 1 inch pieces
- 4 slices fresh, peeled ginger
- 6 tbsp vegetable oil or chicken oil rendered from chicken fat
- 6 to 8 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 4 cups long-grain uncooked rice, washed and drained
- 1 tsp fine salt
Mix together for Chili Sauce
2 to 3 tbsp freshly squeezed lime or lemon juice, 5 tbsp finely chopped fresh red chilies, 5 cloves garlic, chopped, 3 tbsp finely chopped ginger, 1 tsp fine salt, 1/2 cup boiling hot chicken soup
Method
Boil a large pot of water. Stuff the cavity of the chicken with scallion and ginger. Add chicken to boiling water, breast side-down. Lower the heat to a simmer just under boiling point and cook, covered until just cooked through, about 40 minutes. Bathe the chicken in an ice water bath till chicken is cold to create a tender, springy texture. Heat oil in a rice cooker, add garlic, stir fry till fragrant. Add uncooked rice, stir fry for two minutes, add salt and enough chicken soup to cover 1/2 inch above the top of the rice. Boil on high heat, lower heat when steam holes form, cover and steam for 30 minutes till rice is cooked. Chop chicken and serve with steaming hot rice and chili sauce. Dark soya sauce is the ideal accompaniment.

I felt very sentimental today when I surfed on-line as Mother's Day is nearing. I miss Mom more... Reading Mother's Day quotes, seeing Mother's Day quotes... I hold my tears, but I sobbed. Every time I cry when I remember Mom, the tears aren't for her, but for myself, as she's in the Happiest Place now.
Ah. I should stop feeling sorry for myself too much :)
And this is how my "es campur" looked like when it's done!
By the way, anyhoo that needs a banner, just send me a message. Let me know what main color you want for your banner, and what kind of picture/image.
It's been my favorite economical and practical food since I was a kid, because even though it tastes slightly worse than ham, it's very very cheap.
Most of cheap stuff are bad. Just like "talk". It's cheap without any action

It's
been a while since Ma Ling luncheon meat was pulled out from
supermarket shelves here in Singapore. It's seems like eternity for
die-hard 
Today was the first time Texas Fried Chicken delivered the food late. I starved as I was chatting with Susan, wondering where's my dinner :) Then suddenly the delivery man called and said that he got lost because the manager who received my order wrote down my address wrongly. So normally it takes them 45 minutes to deliver the food, but today, it took like 90 minutes.
But glad that eventually he arrived. Safe and sound, with a big smile on his face :)
Actually I'm sick of fast food fried chicken, but I had no choice since there's nothing in the fridge I can cook. My soto mie also hasn't come yet, no idea where's Reza. Hehe. Last night Danny still talked about his favorite noodle ever in Chinatown which made me suffer since it's after midnight and I'm super sensitive every time anyone talk about food. My tummy connects my mind so well, and it growls sadly every time it feels like eating...
I ordered 3 pieces of chicken and a piece of chicken liver. I ate a piece of chicken and the liver, so I still have 2 more pieces of chicken which I will eat tomorrow for my lunch and dinner :)
I think I were a cannibal in previous life. I was born in the year of rooster, I shouldn't eat chicken as much as I do. Eating chicken means eating my own "people".
I'm waiting for Indonesian Idol on TV in less than 30 minutes.
I can't describe how I feel now. I think it's more sad than happy, but not really sad. Just hopeless and sad. Not hopelessly sad :)
So it's not really bad.
And this is Agek. A friend of mine that lives nearby. She wasn't my friend before she became my friend Maya's sister-in-law, because that's how we met :)
She will be more than happy to kill me if she knows I post this picture on-line. Hehe.
My in-land phone line has been broken since last night, and it's getting fixed now. The wireless internet is being slow, too - so I can't upload these pictures in their original size. Had to resize it up to 500px :(
I'm looking forward to get my soto mie later when Reza comes in the evening. Yay! More foodie!
