My 1st Nasi Lemak - Happy 56th National Day

-

On Singapore 56th birthday, I took up the challenge to make nasi lemak for the family that day. In order not to rush myself and end up failing, I prepared the lemak chilli a day before. Even marinated the chicken wing a day before.

On the actual day, I only need to go down to Mustafa and look for a good basmati rice for my nasi. We went down not knowing which brand to chose so we asked the native there and they recommended me 2 brands and we decided one and got the small pack home.

My mum came over, so I asked her to help me test my chilli and it needed a bit more sugar. I didnt rush myself too much because i only need to cook some vegetable dishes, fried the chicken wings and cook the rice.

Going in 4 cups of basmati rice and I think my rice cooker is too small and since 1st time i didnt really check the rice. When I opened the rice cooker, I noticed the rice on top doesnt look well cooked. I decided to scoop up all the rice to check. The bottom rice is well cooked so I took up the top rice and let it continue to steam under those that are well done. In the end, nobody notice the not so well cooked grains.

I followed the youtube recipe to marinate the chicken wing but i didnt like the outcome of it. It was too much of the india spices. 

I am not 100% happy with the chicken wings but I love the chilli I made because it was not overly spicy and the older kids are taking it well.

Infact, our table is full of foo...

I always dream to go for it but I hate running/jogging. I dun have the stamina to do even a 1km run. How to go for 10km? I must be crazy! Yes, 48 now and I dun start having crazy thought and things I will never get to do it. The begining of the run was because a colleague who hardly exercise said he will join so people like me of same category also signed up to support him. Furthermore, he will be walking and not jogging, which is same as me. WALKING. We started late because we waiting for you and me. Starts around 7am, the race for 10km run started at 6.30am Feeling shiok because you only got to walk like a big "boss" in the middle of the road as if you own it at this moment. Must enjoy it.  We still walking to the starting point which like we walk for another 1km. Take a photo before we start.  Taking picture along the way since I am walking. I feel like a tourist then doing a race but I have doubt how am I going t...
