Iftar Day 5

oven baked dory

Prepared simple dish for Iftar Day 4. Oven baked dory fillet + oven baked chips + grilled chicken sandwich. My excitement to prepare iftar dish has reduced since yesterday. Hence the simple iftar today.

Iftar Day 4

grilled chicken sandwich

During my good old days back home, grilled chicken sandwich is a must during iftar. The original recipe was  bits of fried chicken+cucumber slices sandwiched between plain bread which was spread with butter+chili sauce. Might sound simple and boring to some but I treasure every piece my mom's dish and surprisingly, after all these years, her cooking never fails me, not even once. Every son/daughter would say the same about their moms, wouldn't they? 

Iftar Day 3

My first onde onde attempt

I'm back to having Iftar alone today. I came back early from work as the meeting I attended ended early. Considering the ample time I had before Iftar, I challenged myself to make onde onde/ kueh buah melaka. This might be the simplest and easiest kueh to prepare on the whole wide world, but to me, it was not as easy as I thought it would be. The whole process of making a round shape was horror and time taken to make 14 onde onde balls was about 30 minutes..Glad that it was a success..a great achievement!

Iftar Day 1

I don't know what strikes me this Ramadhan. I have the sudden urge to prepare a list of dish/pastry/kueh. From kueh bongkol, onde-onde, seri muka, it's all trapped in my head.

As for iftar today,I was doubtful whether I should be making onde-onde or chicken pie. Considering the fact that I'll be having iftar by myself on the first day of Ramadhan, I settled for chicken pie. Leftovers can be eaten the next day.

So I wrestled in the kitchen to prepare the said pie as early as 3 p.m.and three hours later, this is the outcome.

the first batch

i hope they taste good

Looks a bit off, I know..but for an amateur and first timer, I would say that it was a success. Taste wise, is yet to be determine as iftar is 75 minutes away.
