ROASTED CHICKEN

Salam.

Tetamu dari Perak?? Tetamu maya atau tetamu realiti? By the way, my aunt will stay at my house for 2 days and she will reach here tonight (can't wait, btw!). She has been requested 'Kerabu Sotong' few months back. According to her, she would like to have it during her visit. Just because of her pregnancy, it is my pleasure to fulfill her requisition :) Kang mengidam pulak kalau tak di buatkan kan? hehehe

I bought few roses last three months from Sungai Buluh nursery. Punya lah rambang mata tengok pokok-pokok bunga. Tapi niat memang nak beli ros aje, jadi takde lah bocor poket I hari tu.

I bought two colours, this colour and another colour is red. Tapi red colour belum blooming lagi jadi malas nak snap picture dia. Nanti nak beli lagi lah hehe.. bagi penuh halaman rumah dengan rose bushes :)

Haritu (sebenarnya bulan January 2013 haritu. punya lah lama kan?) masa kat Kayangan Heights masak Roasted Chicken for lunch sebab tak rasa macam nak makan nasi. Jom kita layan gambar and recipenye.

Gemuk betul ayam ni kan?

6. Water to boil

Method

1. Boil the water and add potatoes. Cook until tender but firm, drain.

2. Add in butter and cream cheese, mash until smooth and creamy. Season with black pepper and salt.

I love the crisp chicken skin but tender inside :)

As you can see, I use lot of lemons.

I buat gravy dari jus roasted chicken ni je. Cuma tambah black pepper sikit, garam sikit and cream sikit. Yummy!

Agak-agak, boleh lawan Uncle Kenny Rogers tu tak? hehehe suka sangat berangan di siang hari.

Oh ye, one of my friends from Singapore request for Laksa recipe. In shaa Allah, I will slot in the recipe by this weekend or next week. Serene, please be patient okay? :))
