For tonight dinner I made Hainanese chicken rice. A regular dish I made almost every weekday. Even though I am a bit sick of chicken, as there have been few too many chicken over the weekend that are going nowhere fast, but I had to.
Why chicken rice? You see I'd to cook while Adam is away for his playschool. Or I don't get to cook at all. I have so many things I want to do in that short period of time. That is the time where I get to go for a jog. That is the time where I get to leisurely browse some books in the library or trying out new recipes. And that is the only time where I get to play with my lens.
...and that explains the chicken rice. Simple and quick. I can do several other things while boiling the chicken. Laundry, mopping, cleaning, take a shower, and even catch Ellen or Dr. OZ on TV, beside those listed things I mentioned in the previous para. It spelled E.A.S.Y even though it's chicken and I am sick of it. I'll try to subs it with fish..we'll see how.
Above is Adam's plate. Believe it or not, he finished the whole plate. :D
PS: I'm not sure where my writing is going as the 3 hours break is almost over.. :P
PPS: The recipe is taken from Steamy Kitchen.
Suka sangat tgk ayam tu...mulus dan nampak sempurna....

Your chicken rice looks great. But with too much rich food over the Chinese New Year celebration, my family are crying for something very simple like Teochew porridge.
