Been wanting to do this for weeks but did not get the chance. Today, after slogging for hours with the exam papers, I decided to make Roti Betawi. (The exam papers are still incomplete. He! He! He!)
INGREDIENTS:
Sardine from the tin (I like the one by TC Boy. It seems to taste better. For the small loaf of bread, I used nearly the whole big tin of sardine. Mash it up using a fork.)
Onion (Half would do. Dice it. Then mix it into the mashed sardine.)
Fresh Chilli (Preferably the red one. Slice it thinly and then add into the mixture.)
Limau Kasturi (The small lime but not sure what it is in English. I used two. Squeeze out the juice. You should extract the pits first.)
Loaf of bread (take a slice and place one not so thin neither should be so thick row of sardine. Then roll it hard.)
Two eggs (beat the eggs. Dip the rolled bread into it.)
Oil (The amount of oil you use should allow only half of the rolled bread to be sunk in. Place the rolled bread nicely into the oil - careful not to let the bread unroll. Let both side brown.)
Cucumber (the fried bread should be sieved so that excess oil could drip off. Slice the cucumber then stick it to the bread by snipping two parts of the bread.)
**Why no pictures? You might ask. Too hungry to think about taking photos.

Bee Hoon Soup
The easiest dish ever.Today appeared to be rather hot so a soupy dish would be nice to break our fast. After thinking of the dish, as usual I dashed off..not to TESCO but to TODAY'S.
INGREDIENTS:
Chicken ( Boil the chicken in a big pot. There should be plenty of water. Once the chicken is cooked, take it out and scraped off the meat.Put back the bones and the meat into the pot.)
Carrot (Cut the carrot into the size of toothpick. Put that into the pot.)
Chinese Cabbage (Separate the leaves from the white hard thing. Put the white-hard-thing into the pot. The leaves should be toward the end.)
Che Poh (Not sure what you call this in English though. do not put too much as it is very salty.)
white pepper
Salt (Do not put this a lot too as you have used Che Poh.)
Sesame oil (This is important.)
Bee Hoon (You need to soak this in hot water but should be too long as it will get very soft. the soup and the bee Hoon should be place in different bowls when serving because if you put the bee Hoon into the pot, it will get soggy.)
The Sauce:
sliced chilli (Preferably the small and hot one.)
Slice garlic (Fry this in a pan. do not use too much oil. add in the chilli when you could actually smell the fried garlic. Pour in the soya sauce when you see that the chilli has changed colour.)
Place the sauce in a small bowl.

Kuey Teow
My eldest son requested for Fried Kuey Teow.Since the other two sons screamed for it as well, I had no choice but to go to TESCO for the missing ingredients.( It is a good thing that TESCO is just 5 minutes drive.Very convenient)
INGREDIENTS:
Chilli Boh (Need to add a little bit more garlic. Fry it but do not use too much oil.)
slices of chicken Flesh (Add this into the wok)
Half peeled prawns (This is important as it sweetens the dish but add this when you see that the chicken is about to cook.)
cuttlefish (This should be added towards the end as if you cook it too long it will harden.)
Kuey Teow noodle (Need to separate the pieces first before you add them in an I usually rinse them a bit.)
Beansprout (I peel off the ends. Having a lot of kids make your life in the kitchen easier. Things that you do not like to do like peeling off the ends of beansprout - just get the kids to do it.)
soya Sauce (I use Cap KIPAS LEMAK MANIS. To me, it tastes better than other brands.)
white pepper (To make it spicy. Mix them well.)
Garnish the dish with slices of spring onions, slices of red chilli and fried shallots.

Soya Bean Ice-cream
My husband and I took the children to Shah Alam - to see the replica of Rasullah's sword. We left early in the morning. After the musuem, we headed towards KL. We had Lamb and Chicken Mendy at an arab restaurant - near Pavillion. They did not have Greek Salad. So we had the rice with Arab Salad instead. After our late lunch, we went to Pavillion for Soya Bean Ice-cream. The one that we had is called Sesame Sensation. 
Garlic Bread
We had spaghetti last week but it felt as if not enough. So I made garlic bread. No pictures taken though cause too hungry to think anything else.
The ingredients:
Margarine (about two scoops.Either you leave it to soften or keeps on pressing it with spoon)
Oregano (Add a few dashes of this into the margarine)
Garlic (At least two cloves. Pound them and then add it into the margarine)
*Mix everything well. You could either toast the bread first before spreading the mixture or spread the mixture first onto the bread then toast.
