Ayam Berempah Bawang Goreng & Butter Rice

Actually the ayam berempah tu aku masak semalam. Memang purposely masak 1/2 ekor so that boleh simpan sikit untuk today. Ye la, semalam berbuka without hubby, semua tak lalu makan. Hari ni hubby dah balik, (aku takyah tido rumah mok, yahooo!!!) so aku masak butter rice to go with the ayam berempah.

The idea to cook the ayam berempah came after tasting the ayam yang sedap sangat2 kat Restoran Syed. I like the ayam yang jual kat Syed tu, cant remember the name. I thought to myself, I got to try concocting something similar to the ayam Syed  tu. I went to Jusco to buy rempah and daun ketumbar, balik rumah, terus masuk dapur. Excited giler nak masak the chicken. Sadly, aku takleh rasa. So main agak-agak je la. Nampak macam sedap, but aku kena tunggu dengan penuh sabar til iftar to taste the chicken. The verdict was, "Sedap sangat2 Mama. Macam mana Mama masak ayam tu?". Those words came from our food critic, Iffah.. hehehe.. I was ecstatic!! Ye la, recipe yang aku reka cipta menjadi, sedap pulak tu, especially bila makan dengan butter rice and served with cucumber & tomato salad. Hubby pun suka sangat, siap bertambah 2 kali, Alhamdulillah :)

  2. Wow, I'm honoured with those lovely dates 'presented' to me! Thanks! (wink,wink!)

    Shidah, memang sedap nampak ayam berempah tu. Kalau dah biasa memasak, all it takes is just one bite from others cooking and you can almost always have it right! Ever heard of "cooking without a recipe?" Well, that's my trait! Hopefully it is yours too. :)

  5. k.lili,

    jenuh i nak ambik gambar.. hehe.. but once dah rasa kan, memang taknak dah makan dates yg lain :)

    that ayam berempah i think memang kena dgn selera we all. alhamdulillah.. so far memang kalau masuk dapur, jarang guna recipe sebab kadang2 nak cepat, leceh baca recipe. but some dishes, kena ikut recipe betul2,kalau tak, tak jadi. i guess bila adik beradik ramai ni, nak taknak, kena jadi creative bila memasak. manjang nak ikut recipe, tak berasap la dapur. :D

  6. ayu,

    please, go ahead, print it and share it. sharing is caring. nak prepare the chicken senang je, and sedap! kalau rajin, boleh buat acar timun. but i'm too lazy, makan dgn salad letak italian dressing je. :D
