My mum surprises me sometimes.... when out of the blue she cooks something fabulous... (she's a good cook, but sometimes she will spring a great dish that makes us see her in a different light). This time, it's the Sambal Eggplant that we get to eat at Indonesian restaurants... my mum's indonesian maid said she called home to indonesia after eating it and cried to her husband that she has never eaten such delicious sambal eggplant before!! so drama... but it really happened!
This afternoon my mum made Sambal again and I could see that her maid was really over the moon with glee.. haha.. but I almost fell off the chair laughing when my mum was dictating the sambal recipe to the maid!!! it went something like that :
xx dollars of dried shrimp
20 cents of brocarass
50 cents of blue ginger etc etc
*FAINT* told my mum that the taste of her sambal will change with the economy ... kekeke
Tonight I had eggplant, egg fried with silver fish and loads of mum's sambal chili for dinner.. and it was indeed fabulous.. :)
