Sure, no problemo My kitchen can become the central kitchen.

The only thing that I don't have is a convection oven and electric batter/cake mixer.

For halal meat e.g. chicken, I volunteer.

Yup, the MUIS guideline on halal food is a gd one for reference. Next time if your workplace need to get halal-certified catering companies for buffet or parties, can just check the MUIS database.

Hee hee..paisey..I usually cook simple meals like western (pan-fried chicken with mashed potatoes and steamed veggies, that kind or pastas).

Even Assam Laksa I also dunno how to cook, let alone Rendang.

For putri salat, it's usually my sisters-in-law (I got 6 of them), to me they're the experts in Malay dishes, pastries and kuih-kuih. If you want the recipe, I can try get it for u.

[applefreak 1]

yes yes please

now got to pay cut-throat price at bangawan solo but theirs really nice loh

i like mashed potatoes also, but not sure should steam or boil the potatoes before mashing them

then got to add cream or milk or butter to make it smoother?

and the sauce is the trickiest part, have no idea how to make that

talking about food makes me so excited, and my stomach start to rumble liao

better go kitchen to search for food

Ok, I'll ask my SILs for the putri salat recipe next weekend ya.

Yup, Bengawan Solo one is very nice based on my friends' feedbacks. Just too bad though, they're not gonna apply for halal-certification due to certain critical ingredients in their famous kuihs. I think they're afraid that their taste/secret recipe will be compromised should they go ahead with halal-certification.

For the mashed potatoes, there are several types and versions. Mainly it's either the "sinful" version (aka nicer taste but more fattening) or "not so sinful" version (aka healthier, less fattening, suitable for kids too). U can choose to steam or boil the skinned potatoes until cooked soft. Usually I use the washed-potatoes in a bag kind - for its whiteness and faster-to-cook properties, not the loose unwashed potatoes commonly used for curry.

Mashed Potatoes (Sinful version) for 3-4 adults:

- 2 bags of washed potatoes, skinned and boiled until soft

- One Bulla Fresh Cream 45% fat in 200ML container

- One block of unsalted or less salted butter

- Ground black pepper, to taste

- Sea salt, to taste

Method: Boil or steam all the potatoes until cooked soft. When fully cooked, if boiling - drain off excess water from pot, and then put pot of potatoes back to stove and heat up gently & stir potatoes until all moisture dry up in pot. Turn off heat when done. Mash the potatoes while it is still in the pot, as the remaining heat is sustained. Pour in the Bulla Cream and drop in the butter, mash and stir together until smooth and no more lumps. Add in ground black pepper and sea salt, to taste. Serve warm.

Mashed Potatoes (Not So Sinful version) for 3-4 adults:

- 2 bags of washed potatoes, skinned and boiled until soft

- One to two cups of fresh milk for smoothness (whole or skimmed, is up to you)

- 3-4 tablespoons of virgin or extra virgin olive oil

- Ground black pepper, to taste (For kids or tots, can opt this out)

- Sea salt, to taste.

Method: Same as the Sinful version.

Brown Gravy (Chicken-based) for 3-4 adults:

- One whole chicken, cut into smaller pieces, leave skin on.

- 1-2 tablespoons of virgin olive oil.

Method: Pan fry chicken pieces (with skin on) with a bit of olive oil, until brown. Remove cooked chicken pieces from pan/pot and slowly pour in corn flour (pre-mixed with plain water and stirred until smooth and no more lumps) on gentle heat (stove). Stir until boiled gently and lower heat, keep stirring until thicker consistency. When colour change slightly, sample abit to taste if need to add in salt. If salty enough, no need to add in any salt, as the sodium from the cooked chicken fat/oils are already salty enough. Pour into a bowl and serve warm. Can also reheat in slow, gentle fire or microwave for abt 1 minute.
