So what i did with the leftover chili paste from Curry Puff? Chicken curry of course. First buy half a coconut(grated) for RM0.80

pan fried potatoes so that it get cook faster later. here is 1.2kg, i kinda go over a bit. However, didn’t like this potato, as it is too floury, keep sticking to the pan and not browning properly. All this 1.2kg comes from 4 big potato, next time should buy the smaller ones, less floury ones i guess.

fry chicken in the chili paste, it looks hot here, but it really isn’t

two coconut presses: left it first press, the the right is second press.

put in the second press of coconut (more diluted one)

put in potato

put in the first press coconut towards the end.

Verdict: chicken curry has definitely seen better days. it is not spicy at all, taste like curry, but not spicy at all, taste slightly sweet(could be the onions in the chili paste…), not aromatic. disappointing.

Salad, Lamb Curry (a tad too spicy for my taste), some dhal and curry which comes with the naan/chappatti

delicious BBQ chicken wing, it is a potluck party, i brough fruit salad(canned peach + cubed apple + grape cherry tomatoes) but forgot to take photo.

Neat BBQ area. the wings and prawn are really tasty. yumm…

was invited to bf house christmas eve’s dinner. Would i have give up a chance of going there early to see what is cooking, nah… hahaha, anyway took leave tat day not because of wanting to check out the food, but had been working so much lately, and wanted a break from it.

Ingredients all chopped up (onion, tomatoes etc)

Dark sweet cherry for making cherry-tomatoes-onion chutney-like jam.

Sundried tomato, an acquired taste to get used to or discern.

Chopping up smoke salmon and chives for the cream based linguine.

Meringue for cake.

Chopped up: celery, leek, carrot, onion, garlic, sun-dried tomato and chinese sausage.

Bistro brown sauce powder – sauce for roast pork.

Sweating onion till it is translucent, take care not to brown it. Add in garlic when the onion is done.

Add in some all purpose flour to make a roux, for thickening the cream based pasta sauce. Roux is more stabilised and also cheaper than using all whipped cream for the sauce.
