My very first bundle of joy, CHICKEN RICE!!


Chicken Rice from Tak Chee House









One of the best I've had. Ever since I left home I always miss the taste of good chicken rice, or at least chicken rice that taste like home. Until one day my friend brought me to this shop, Tak Chee House in Northbridge. Beside chicken rice they also have many types of malaysian hawker food there. It is worth a go.

Hence my passion to perfect my chicken rice making skills. 
Here, I want to share the very first dish that I made after leaving home for further studies.
This is my grandmother’s AWESOME chicken rice recipe.

Things you need!
1 Whole Chicken
Rice
Garlic  (blended)
Ginger (blended)
Shallot (blended)
Chicken stalk
Salt

How to make:
1.      Boil the chicken in a pot.
2.      Once chicken is cooked, take it out and rub salt all over.
3.      Leave the soup aside, for later.
4.      Heat up 2 tablespoon of oil in wok.
5.      Add in shallots, garlic and ginger, fry until slightly brown.
6.      Add in uncooked rice, fry until spices are evenly coated.
7.      Turn off the fire and add chicken stalk and mix well.
8.      Put rice mixture in a rice cooker, then add the chicken soup and let it cook.
9.      While rice is cooking, cut the chicken.
10.   Once rice is cooked it is ready to serve.
Extras:
Chili Mixture:

Blend dried chili, ginger, garlic, vinegar, ‘cili padi’, and a bit of sugar.
