Yay I finally could upload my entry for this month’s masbar. Don’t know why my spirit to blog has dropped a bit lately. I still cook and bake and take photos too but just lazy to upload it into this blog… :s Hopefully it wouldn’t be long until I found my mood back again.
This month’s theme is chicken dish from North Sulawesi. Chicken is my favorite meat and dishes from North Sulawesi is usually hot and spicy. I love chicken in any way and my life would be bland without my spices and chilies, so I was more than happy to make this dish.

– Pound spice paste ingredients until smooth.
– Heat up oil in a pan, add spice paste, ginger, lemongrass and kaffir lime leaves when the oil is hot.
– Fry until the spice is done, add chicken pieces.
