Ayam masak lemak cili padi

I love curries, chicken curry, rendang, mutton curry, you name it. But my favourite is this: Ayam masak lemak cili padi. Being a lazy bum (and a firm believer of ready-made curries), I cooked this for lunch using ALIF's Kuah Masak Lemak Cili Padi paste. All I need to do is to add chicken, potatoes and cili padi for the oomph!

Didn't bring back my camera, so I took this pic from someone's blog.

Can't wait for lunch...

Kacangma

Kacangma is a dish which consist of kacangma leaves, ginger, chicken and langkau/tuak. It is traditionally a confinement dish but is now a popular dish among the people of Sarawak. They can have kacangma for lunch, or dinner or in special events such as wedding or a pot-bless.

Not everyone in the Peninsular (in my opinion) will like Kacangma as it tastes slightly bitter. The one I cooked a couple of days ago had brandy instead of tuak. Never use 'arak putih'..tasted horrible!!
And I put too much of the leaves (which meant for 1 whole chicken not half!) which make it more bitter than the the usual Kacangma. Nevetheless, husband rated it 7/10...hehe..not bad for our 1st attempt cooking Kacangma.
