Chicken, Pineapple, n Milk !!!

I happened to have both of my chicken n milk (almost 1 litre) to expire almost …. immediately The milk is today n chicken tomorrow. So I had to figure out some way to get this done. uhm … chicken … milk ?!? U know I was thinking chicken cooked in milk … like milk-stewed chicken .. just made it up I went googling for “chicken milk”, and I saw the recipe by Jamie Oliver. Oh yeah !!! He … almost saved my life I actually just wanted to see if chicken can really be cooked in milk, and to have a general idea of how it’s like. And then, I came up w my own idea :-> Yah hay !!!

When I was “inventing” the dish, several dishes came up to my mind, for example grilled/fried chicken with five-spice, or some different versions of stewed chicken. I was also thinking that “chicken and milk” sounds kinda … sweet and buttery, I need something tangy, something sour to give the dish a balance. Luckily I had some canned pineapple stacked in my kitchen for a while (since they had it on sale ) <–> that’s perfect !!!

In the end I came up with this, chicken marinated in five-spice, pineapple juice, then stewed in milk for about 1 hr. Uhm.. it must be yummy, I though to myself … and indeed it was !!!!

Satay Chicken w Glutinous Rice

I am going to leave this place very soon (well for those who are curious, roughly 3 months haha) and in my kitchen there’re still so many things untouched, or unfinished: some vercimelli, some rice noodle, some paste, powder or sauce. I still have half of the satay bottle left so I decided to do sth w them. I just want to clear up my kitchen as soon as possible
Recently I extremely love cooking chicken lol I really don’t know why but whenever I think of sth new to cook, I think about chicken. While I almost go blank thinking of options to cook w pork or beef, I can see there’re numerous ways to cook with chicken. Everytime we change the amount of seasoning, or add sth, it turns out a total new dish.

This time I use satay

Chicken n Sweet Potato Curry

Sorry so much u guys, who have been following my “as old as hell” page for a while I’ve been really busy … relaxing n of course studying as well I spent my whole 3-week break in France and I really enjoyed myself travelling to different places :X Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday :X I’ve been to Bordeaux, Toulouse, Lyon, Strasbourg (in Xmas) n Paris!!! Les villes sont tres bon!!! After the break, I came back to this deadly boring city in Jan 5th, which was also the first day of my spring semester. 2 weeks has gone by, n I’ve already been through 2 exams, 3 case studies, n 1 research plan due yesterday :-&

Anyway, those were not really the case why I almost quit cooking n baking. I have some other personal reasons, which I’m gonna tell u guys later when I have more time gossiping ’bout myself

Fortunately, a friend n I have recently made a win-win agreement, which allows me to cook anything I want – once a week. Believe me this’s like heaven to me – when I’m allowed to cook and dont have to eat/do everything alone !!!! Today is my first day being my friend’s personal cook / haha It sounds interesting huh ?!? )

So… let’s get started, again !!! This version of chicken curry is not an Indian or Malaysian original, it has been Westernized n requires only a short time to cook.
