Hi Dora1, actually any type will do these days aye? There are so many in the market. Before every other thing came boxed up, i used to enjoy my running errands for mumsie especially getting the freshly grated coconut. The smell is craaaazzzzeeeyy yummy ya know wat i mean? :drool: Brings you places where the likes of chendol.. pulut hitam with extra coconut milk.. all the yummilicious kuehs and what nots.. uh-huh.. yummy. Aniwaes, i'm currently with Kara.

The smallest (square) box of Kara coconut milk on the extreme right suits my old Tefal rice cooker; cookin' 2.5-3 cups of rice.. i am generous with my pandan leaves and i also add freshly grated ginger in too apart from salt to taste.

Too much it'd curd up loads over the cooked rice or end up soggy-soft.. too little won't be nicely coconutty and a tad dry. That's why i mentioned how it suited my old rice cooker. New rice cookers tend to cook on the dot with +1 mark up of water over the number of cups of rice. But mine may need 1.5 to 2 marks up. So, must also marry the cooker with enough coconut milk+water according to the one you have at home. It may take a few tries to get it just right but if ya don't try, ya never know.

Hi buds

Thanks for the reply! Good to know that I dun need to hunt for the freshly grated coconut. I normally buy the ayam brand low fat coconut milk to cook curries, just to reduce the guilt a bit hee hee.
Thanks for the instructions, I’ll try next week and let u know!

Sutchi fillet pan fried after it was soaked in simple batter of corn flour, water, salt and an egg.

Buds, the sutchi fillet is the frozen ones or the fresh ones from wet mkt? I tried to pan fried fish nuggets - both boys did not like it. Please share the batter proportion :thankyou:

sutchi fillets usually used for fish and chips…unless cooked well, there is a fishy smell and taste is bland.

Tingkat business for 5 to 10 ppl mebbe can. More like (small scale) ta bao business. :rotflmao: I can cook in big quantities like for a home party or celebration. Before i had the boys, i had quite regular play dates at my place. I'd cook and everyone of my girlfriends bring their children over to play. Which reminds me that my friend says she still remembers my http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/content/know-thy-neighbour from our last (very long ago) play date. I normally ta bao for them (adults and kids meals) so my friends won't need to prepare their dinner for that day... can hang out at my place from morning till before dinner time. So when they reach home, just need to re-heat and have dinner with their family.

Hmmm.. mebbe time to organize another play date this March hols... just to chill. :idea:
