The recipe.

The ingredients.

The chicken ribs.

All mixed up in a zip lock for marinating for at least 1 hour.

1 hour later, preheating the oven.

Setting it to roast for only 10 minutes.

10 minutes later. Ate one, kept one for tomorrow’s lunch.

It was damn delicious. MIND BLASTING!

I actually brought the remaining gravy to a boil and used it as a dip for the vegetables.

Dinner.

Every year, Chinese all around the world, especially Hokkiens will pray to the Sky God during the 8th night of Chinese New Year. This night is called Pai Ti Kong in Hokkien and many Chinese Penangites celebrate this occasion. The only thing I like about this occasion is the many, many fireworks that light up the sky half an hour before and after 12am.

This was my first time and there is no better place to see the spectacular view of fireworks than at the foot of Kuan Yin statue in Kek Lok Si temple. Any building with high ground would do actually, but I can only think of Kek Lok Si.

Actually, when we reached at about 11pm, the fireworks carnival in the sky has already started. We could actually hear the noisiness while checking out the newly built shade around the Goddess of Mercy.

The height of Kuan Yin is 30.2m, the 42nd tallest in the world.

The newly erected pillars.

The plaque at the back of the Kuan Yin statue.

Felt like a tourist. Anyways, after checking out everything that was new, we found myself a nice spot and

enjoyed the sea of fireworks.

After that, we went to Air Itam market to eat the MOST DELICIOUS duck rice in Penang for supper. I rarely come by as Air Itam is relatively far and it only opens at 12am.

Nevertheless, downing this entire plate was MIND BLASTING!

Was in Tesco, waiting for a car to come out from behind.

My signal was on.

As soon as the car I was waiting for left, this mother fucker zoomed in and took my spot.

I was so furious.

An Indian man in his 40’s with his daughter who kept persuading him to move his car as she saw me earlier waiting.

Confronted him but the pukimak was like “too bad, I didn’t see you” and walked off.

I wanted to scratch his car but the smart mother fucker took a picture of my car.

As he knew my number plate, I was helpless.

Fucker.

30 g of black glutinous rice = 1 big bowl
444 g = 15 big bowls

Quite cheap at only RM 4.

A sieve.

Place it above a a dry container. A bowl will also do.

The black glutinous rice.

Pouring it into the sieve.

The mini crap that comes out from the other end of the sieve onto the box.

A wok for frying.

Frying is supposed to bring out the aroma.

5 minutes on a high fire will do.

A big bowl for boiling.

Although it looks shallow, it will fill up the entire bowl in the end.

Cut up some pandan leaves. A MUST HAVE item.

3 leaves.

After cleaning it with water for 2 rounds, the water should be clear like this.

Tying the pandan leaves into a knot.

No idea why but it just felt right. =P

Let it cook for 1 hour.

Gula Melaka is the best sweetener to use for making black glutinous rice.

About 100 grams would do.

You can still add more if it is not sweet enough.

Chopped up Gula Melaka.

I actually mixed white sugar with Gula Melaka.

Started boiling 15 minutes later at

01.41 pm.

With the lid closed.

About 20 minutes later,

water is added as the level dropped.

1 hour passed since it first boiled.

Ta da! Black glutinous porridge in 1 hour.

It goes well with coconut milk. Fresh if possible, otherwise the ones off the shelves of supermarket will also do.

The recipe.

Everything together.

The steak.

Fat removal.

The ziplock bag.

Steak in ziplock bag.

Marinate for at least 1 hour before cooking.

Today’s dinner is spaghetti and yesterday’s tuna.

The spicy spaghetti gravy all mixed in.

Wet spaghetti in a bottle.

The two to be mixed in in the end.

A quarter broccoli.

Raw bell pepper with cherry tomatoes.

The tuna all mixed in.

Boiling the spaghetti and broccoli together.

Dinner.

My wrists have been feeling pretty painful for about a year already. It’s probably due to poor ergonomic positioning at my computer table. Anyways, I made a choice bought myself a trackball mouse, hoping that it would help by having my wrist move less by moving the pointer from a stationary position.

The Logitech TrackMan Wheel.

Now I know Logitech’s the biggest trackball producer in the world.

Let’s hope it helps.

Boiled a piece of potato.

Ate it with the skin on as most of the nutrition is found near the skin. Wouldn’t wanna miss out on that.

Mashed it.

Metal steamer ring.

The bowl of broccoli.

TC Boy tuna in extra virgin olive oil.

Took about half can for this meal.

Added scallions and parsley.

Raw cherry tomatoes and a stalk of celery.

Dinner of the day.
