Tea Time : Malaysian Way

Seems like steamed food will be a frequent feature in this blog. Why, we had this hankering for traditional desserts more often nowadays! So brace yourself with another yummy delights... 

Old time apam beras has been one of many popular breakfast or tea time delicacies in Malaysia. It comes in variety of colors though the traditional colors usually in white (natural), pink or yellow. But my sisters were being creative with their coloring so we had that lovely baby blue, light green, soft pink and lavender color for the apams!

Must Have Second

The holiday was the only time family got together. And it is only fitting to have a special dish cooked during the days. In our house, one menu that always fits the bill is the Arab Rice a.k.a Nasi Maqlubah. 

It is a one pot meal or rice dish that serves with a side of refreshing salsa. 

Rice, meat and vegetables mix with savory herbs completing the comfort food description for our family. It's the fragrant smell of the dish that always remind us of home.

Pretty Hard to Mess With

Do you have any idea how good it is to eat a piece of freshly baked bread? 

I'm pretty sure you know this. But in case you don't, let me tell you. 

It's good. It's EASY and very satisfying. I know it is. Now my sister knew too. She got me to teach her late one evening. So we got down to business. Step by step, I let her do it all herself. The measuring and everything. Getting all the ingredients ready before you start is the key to success. Besides reducing the risk of forgetting to add an ingredient, it also helps you organised. 

This recipe should be fool proof. If I haven't fell in love with it already, I'll do so now. The sweetness is just right. The chewiness is just right. As corny as it may sound, this is THE BREAD. Yeah, okay. That statement is open for debate.
