So this is a Malaysian dish which my mom thought me when I was younger.

It tasted so good yet with so little ingredients!

My husband LOVES it.

It’s supposed to be spicy but you can make it less to suite the taste bud.

(also, the taste of the dish is really based on …. “I think it taste good” gut feeling ☺️)

Ah! This dish requires you to constantly stir it to avoid the oil from coconut milk to break which leaves you with a very oily dish. So blast some music or Netflix to keep you less feeling bored. 😅

This is basically my attempt on trying to cook different type of dishes and make my husband the guinea pig on testing them out.I do like to cook sometimes and I just need an avenue on where I should document my journey (both failed and success ones). Cause some of them will be on repeat and I won’t remember all of them. (except rice. its easy to cook rice 😅)Also, my husband and I are from 2 different cultures (Brazilian vs Malaysian) so it'd be nice for him to try out some of the Asian dish that I'm familiar on eating (not cooking). Hopefully it tasted good.I'll give a shot on cooking some Brazillian dish as well soon. Wish me luck!
