I used both chinese rice wine and Xiao Shin wine.

Fried Dry Prawn Sambal (Sambal Hairbee)
I cooked this using two of these recipes:
As for the lemon grass, I chopped it small and blended it with the wet ingredient.
Fried the dried prawns seperately and then fried the wet ingredient till it's almost dry/dry and add in the dried prawns and keep frying until it is dry.
Caution: Easily burnt, so you need to keep on stiring. And it sure takes a lot of patience cooking this.....a longggggggggg..time..... to cook.
Tips: Get good grade dried prawns. Mine were left overs and tiny....
I ate my first portion with a piece of white bread..oo la la...

Chicken Curry Pie
Suppose to be Chicken pie but I substitute the ingredient with chicken curry puff filling..so should I say the Malaysian version of Chicken pie ala Curry Chicken Pie? :D The crust is not bad considered that it was so simple to make. Taste more on the butter side but it's ok.
For the recipe - Chicken Pie:

Looks so easy to make, I thought it would fail but it's not bad. worked well with the curry paste as it wasn't soggy (paste was dry).
As for the chicken curry filling

Braised Pork Belly
Yes sinful as it looks.....braised pork belly.
I suppose it will taste better cooked in a claypot.
I added in the Cinamon stick, anise and brown sugar and it was SUPERB, but very very sinful....full of fattttttttttttt

Pancakes
I found another pancake site - which explains more about making fluffy ones - don't use oil to fry them. :D
http://www.malaysiabest.net/2008/11/26/recipe-for-fluffy-pancakes/
Tastes nice too....
Top it with honey and strawberry jam or just anything, even savoury stuff like ham, chicken...whatever you can imagine
P/s It's not what you imagine or think, ok! Don't be naughty!

Kuih Kodok
Malaysian version of fried banana. It's so easy to make but I still think it will taste sweeter with Pisang Raja (type of banana normally used for cooking coz it's sweet).
Yummy....

As for the chilli sauce, you could use the bottle ones or simply make it with chilli, garlic, ginger all blended and with a touch of lime/lemon juice.
