My favorite recipe - Curry chicken with the chicken marinated in "Kari Basah"

The essential ingredient for delicious curry chicken - "Kari Basah"

I spent most of my childhood time in the kitchen watching my mum prepared the meals for my family instead of hanging-out in the playground with other children. Even though my mum is just an ordinary housewife who never attends any cooking class yet she does great cooking with her own secret recipes that accumulated from years of experience. May be that is the only explanation to my big tummy since I was small.

After years, I only managed to memorise a few of my mum’s great recipes. With that few recipes I cooked for my friends who desperately missed the Malaysian cuisine while we studied in UK. It was a precious enjoyment to have the spicy curry or hot bak-kut-teh with my friends in the chilling weather far away from our home country.

After back to Malaysia, I did not have much chance to cook simply because kitchen is strictly my mum’s territory all the times. It was until I moved into my own house about a year ago that I managed to pick up my wok and recall those secret recipes again.

Beside photography, cooking has become another leisure activity for me over the weekend. Simply spice up my life….
