Singaporean Rice


II'll be sharing a recipe for Singaporian rice with u today,
and i'm not even sure if there is such thing as Singaporian Rice in Singapore :D
But I made it today, And enjoyed every bite of it.

This is not my recipe, its a recipe by a great chef/designer and the person who inspires me to cook
Farah Jahanzeb Khan.
You can check out her group here.
I've adjusted the recipe and the ingredients slightly to suit my taste.

This recipe has a lot of prepping and a lot of steps, 
you'll have to be in the kitchen for a long period of time. 
But in the end, when you are done and you come to table for dinner, you'll be happy
and when you can a bite of this, you'll want to make it again !! :D

So yea that sums it up to how delicious this dish really it !

  1. This looks amazingg... but I have a question...
    which I've always had for this dish...
    wouldn't spaghetti and rice together be just plain weird?
    I've always wondered that because I can never imagine having the two together... EVER!

  11. Well the sphagetti and vegetables can be mixed together to give the noodles a bit of flavour otherwise the top level of the dish will be bland.
