Many years ago I, I made this roasted prawn during my family gathering. A tasty recipe. And my family like it. After that, I haven't cook the recipe anymore. Until now.

My mom makes this nasi ayam or chicken rice around once a month. Especially when her grandchildren come to our house. Many of them and my far living cousins also loves my mom's rice chicken. To me, it's is a really decent rice chicken. I also like it just the way they are.  My mom's chicken rice comprises of cooked flavored rice, fried chicken, chili sauce, soy sauce, chicken soup and vegetables like cucumber, tomato and lettuce.  Actually my mother's fried chicken is dark in color because of the soy sauce used to marinade them. But my father doesn't like it. So my mum marinate those chicken with turmeric. But I still have the soy sauce to add the flavor to the chicken later.  My mom make nasi ayam or chicken rice with malay and home style. It is a bit different than Chinese style chicken rice.

Pancake is an ordinary dish in our house since I was a small child. But it is not the pancake the western people eat. Our pancake is a version of our own. We call it 'lempeng'. It is solid and soft. Sometimes it can be crispy, depending on the ingredients used and the method of cooking.  Our 'lempeng' or pancake is soft and a little bit salty. It is because we put margarine and salt in it. Yes margarine is not really healthy but we have been consuming it for decades.  I am not really a fan of plain lempeng pancake. My family eat it with sugar or condensed milk. Sometimes I eat it like that. But sometimes I eat it with curry or kurma. And many times, I add some vegetables in it.  Some of the vegetables I add in the lempeng pancake are Chinese celery, carrots, onions, cabbage, capsicum, chili and potato. This depends on what I have in the kitchen. Sometimes I just add Chinese celery only. Sometimes I add several vegetables in it.  Usually I eat my vegetable lempeng pan...

Recently I am eating cabbage more frequently. It is because I want to improve my health. And cabbage can stay longer in the fridge compared to some other vegetables like spinach and mustard greens. It is easy to prepare too.  However I sometimes don't really like the thicker part of cabbage. Usually I cut it smaller and thinner.  Recently too I frequently saute cabbage with turmeric and anchovy. I love to eat it with white rice and curry, with white rice and chicken in soy sauce, and many more. I think it is suitable to be eaten with rice and curry.  This dish I called sauteed cabbage with turmeric is made with onion, garlic, anchovies or anchovy cube, chili, mustard seeds and of course turmeric. I love the taste. It is inspired by Muslim Indian restaurant menu, but I don't really sure and don't have the recipe of their cabbage dish. So I invented my own sauteed cabbage with turmeric instead.  So lets see the recipe. This recipe is for 2 servings.  Ingredients 1...

It is usually eaten raw and fresh.  In Malaysia, there are many dish made with banana. Most of them are sweet dish, often eaten as dessert or breakfast. There are also banana curry, a dish from northern peninsula. Indian and Malay rice are also prepared by putting the rice and meat on a banana leaf.
