Cooking up a storm

After going to 5 different supermarkets yesterday, today we are going to cook nasi lemak for the very first time. Here's the list of things to cook:

A rather ambitous and lengthy list. Hopefully it will turn out yummy... Now, i have not cooked most of the dishes before except curry vegetables. So it's my first time cooking most of the stuff.


Here's the otak in the blending process. See the chili? That's chili padi.


Here's the end product...


And not forgetting the otak of course.

Comments on each item:
Coconut rice: Need less coconut milk
Chili: Forget about it, i'm terrible at cooking chili. Need to find another receipe
Sambal sotong; Pretty good
Curry vegetable with toufu: Pretty good
Ikan bilis with peanuts: Pretty good, should have cooked more of this.
Otak: Not bad, looks rather yellow. Need to add red chili powder.

Now, this is another dish that i'm adding to not-going-to-cook-again-any-time-soon. Too much work and seriously, all the coconut milk is not healthy. How i wish i'm back in Singapore, where i can just buy nasi lemak from the hawker center.
