Cooking Photos

So I said I started cooking.. and that I will remember to take photos of the nasi goreng (Indonesia spicy fried rice) with thai fried chicken and emping (a form of cracker made out of a flower seed from the land of Indonesia) on the side. Yeap, all Asian :) Well, as for the photos, I forgot... I was too eagar to gobble them all up to test how bad or good it was. There's only a photo of my purchases from the Bastille street market (above) and the marinated chicken (below).

Being a newbie, the emping was over-fried so it was dark (some close to black). Who would have guessed that frying keropok like emping could be this difficult. Some turned out alright I guess.

Next, the thai fried chicken was undercook :( Had to nuke it for another 3 minutes so that it becomes edible. Hmmm.. you must be like thinking.. ok, now, what's wrong with the nasi goreng? Ha! Nothing! Well, I think this is the only ok dish.. passable! Yeah me! Not too bad for a newbie right?

Stubborn people like me never give up.. so the next day, I tried cooking the thai pork porridge again. My first try was bland... but hey, this 2nd try worked!! I think this is the taste I am looking for... tasty enough and definitely my comfort food! Happy that I got one thing right!

Dodo, what do you think? Is your stomach asking me to stop?
