Delicious Malaysian chicken curry infused with herbs from Thailand I came across Leemei and her famous blog ~ My Cooking Hut , in early 2008. I was her silent reader... who would browse through her blog, looking for recipes as well as admire her amazing photos; the food she cooked, and the places she traveled to. Then in 2009, I 'broke my silence' ... and started to communicate with Leemei through her blog... followed by email, Facebook, and Twitter... we became friends in the cyber world...  let's hope that one day, we'll meet in the 'Real' world...

I am so excited to be invited by Rosa of Rosa's Yummy Yum to write and share with everyone about a traditional Malaysian delicacy, Lemang ... (pronounce as Le-Mung ).  Lemang is a 'must-have' dish during Eid celebration. Being far away from home, with only glutinous rice, coconut milk and banana leaves easily available, I managed to re-create Lemang at home... To my fellow Malaysians who reside overseas...and at times have that 'craving' for Lemang... fret no more... you too can make Lemang without bamboo and a huge bonfire in your back yard. So let us head over to Rosa's Yummy Yum  blog to enjoy my Homemade Lemang. And while you are there, do check out Rosa's exciting photographs of her mouth-watering food and her beautiful homeland of Switzerland... Everytime I look at her beautiful photos .... I was somehow lost in the land of my imagination... and kept on seeing Maria singing away with Von Trapps children... (ne...
