My favourite Sambal Belacan

A lot had happened during the absence of me typing in this blog. I've been busy with Ramadhan and Raya celebrations. Third week of Ramadhan, I managed to make my favourite 'sambal belacan' for fast-breaking at Eija and Cyn's place. My 'sambal belacan' was quite different from sambal belacan that usually served at any stall or restaurant in Peninsular of Malaysia. Why? Because i used a lot of anchovies (ikan bilis) and shallot (bawang merah). For those who want to try, here are the ingredients:



And here was the menu for that day...
* Sup tulang and udang masak sambal - both cooked by Eija.
* Sambal belacan and ulam-ulaman - prepared by myself.



I love eating home-cooked meals and i wish i will get a chance to try all the foods from all over the world. I have a friend who can’t appreciate any food that is not cooked her hometown way and I think it’s sad. She’s missing her chance to try new things and it also makes she not-so-exciting company when eating out. Whatever!!
