Made this for breakfast and lunch boxes of Mama, Papa and Aiman today. Others do not bring their lunch boxes as they have been begging Mama to pay for school dinner today. Why Friday? Cos Friday is pizza day in school. So Mama had to dig out 5.25 pounds from my purse. Sekali sekala bagi can kan. Boring jugak hari2 makan makanan sejuk kan? At times when I get bored with my own cooking, I would sneak out to Birm U Medical School Cafe for Halal Jerk Chicken or chicken curry. Well I can tell you the chef is quite good. Perhaps one day I can bring you kids for lunch there but this is not a promise yea.
