Ayam Golek Risha - Recipe

Last nite I slept quite early, at 12 midnite. Well, dalam kamus aku, 12 mlm tu very early, normally I'll sleep around 2am-3am. I'm not a morning person,tersgt la jarang bangun pagi. Bila bangun lambat, of course tido pun lambat jugak kan. Today aku bangun awal though, pukul 6.30am dah siapkan breakfast untuk anak2 aku. Bila mama and abah are not morning people, maka anak2 pun sama. Selalunya bangun pagi, dia orang takan breakfast sebab tak biasa. Breakfast yang I prepare today, memang tak bersentuh. Cuma bawak as bekal ke sekolah KAFA.

As promised, recipe Ayam Golek Risha as below. I forgot to add turmeric leaves masa masak. Mintak maap ler ye cikgu Risha :)
