Thanks to My Little One (MyLO)

I'm close to 30 now and honestly i have failed my attempts to cook rice without using the rice cooker. whenever i tried and succeed it would be because of my mom who will be there in the kitchen to monitor. and i admired my mom for her cooking skills. when she's awake at 3am in the morning and can't get back to sleep, she'll bake. all you know, there'll be a sponge cake or fruit cake with tea for breakfast.

and yours truly has not inherited mommy's cooking skills. N.O.N.E. now that i'm away from home country, and am pregnant and having a very 'patriotik tekak' (selera malaysia jer), i have no choice but to learn how to cook malaysian food. that's one thing i miss about being home, the food. the nasi lemak, nasi kerabu, chee cheong fun, keropok lekor etc..sabar je lah.

last few weeks, moi was unable to cook due to the hormonal changes. Daddy-To-Be (DTB - formerly known as Mr Husband) was 'ordered' to have his lunch outside. Thanks to DTB kind understanding. Until, one day DTB said outside food sangat tak sedap and moi pulak can't cook. So, after like almost a week, moi start to cook again cos MyLO feels like eating malaysian food. Another thanks to DOMPY (short for DOMPERIDONE - prescribed by doctor to counter nausea).

These are moi's menus for the past few days:

Nasi Ayam (Chicken Rice)

DTB feedbacks:
- chicken's great! (yay!)
- soup is tasteless (*slurp* and a-ah la...i lupa letak garam ke?)
- ur rice lembikla (ha!!!yg ni i mmg dah agak dah)

Nasi Lemak

DTB feedback:
- i makan sikit only, kenyang lagi

moi's feedback:
- MyLO loves it so much!
- almost perfect except teh sambal is manis instead of pedas (so co-incidence doc tak bg makan pedas, so oklah kan..)

Thanks MyLO for making mommy wanted to eat macam2. so now mommy's learning.

Itu nasi masak atas api, bila sudah basuh beras, make sure itu air tinggi dari beras tidak lebih daripada you punya jari telunjuk punya lines... ahhh macam mana mau cakap haaa.

Tu jari kan ada garis garis yang tanda joints untuk bengkok jari tuh kan? Just make sure when you deep your finger, the level of the water from the beras does not exceed the first line lor. Ini especially kalau masak dlm rice cooker.

Tapi because you masak atas api, kasi lebih sikit sikit takper because dia heat so lagi cepat wap. Letak api jangan panas sangat. And jangan tutup tudung dia. Only tutup bila you dah nampak air dia dah macam kering sikit no more submerging the rice. Baru tutup.

Tutup api after like five minutes or so, atau bila you ada bau hangus.... hahahahahaha!!!
