Gulai ikan talang masin with nenas

M out of town.  So I am seizing the opportunity.
Recently, sis #1 told us that mak wanted to eat gulai ikan kering. To be honest, the dish is not really my favorite but I can indulge into it.

You know, the once in the blue moon thing.

This is the tumis darat kind. Was not the tastiest Gulai Ikan Talang but enough to satiate my craving.
I wished the sambal belacan is spicier. But I am out with Thai chilies and it costs about CAN$5 for a small tray in Maxi.

I can get double the quantity at chinese store. M going to Ottawa anyway. I know he made it very clear that he will go to the chinese store if he has the time. But knowing him, he will go there for sure.

Anything for the lady

Chicken rendang & sticky rice

I am in raya mood.
Craving for rendang big time. I have to say that pulut (sticky rice) is not one of my favorite food but rendang always goes well with it.
In a way, I kinda relief that at least I know how to cook many type of Malaysian dishes (though not perfect or as good) and the fact that my nose is 50% functioning, I dont have problem cooking while carrying junior inside my womb.

You are going to have a 100% malaysian palate my lil' one.

Instead of the usual rice cooker to cook the sticky rice,  I steamed it and added coconut milk at the end and mixed them up until the sticky rice fully absorb the coconut milk.
I heard that it will give less side effect for gas. So they said.
I still wind up with the headache.
M ate the pulut and rendang like makan nasi. he's having headache and bloat.
The rendang is a bit spicy. I have to spice it up a bit.
Else, I will have this after taste and it will trigger my panic attack.
M didnt complain. He needs to go to the WC anyway.
