Dear Earthlings (and disguised Spacelings),
Not really in the mood of writing so I will just share another home-cooked recipe today. If you ever noticed from my posts on Eids, this is one of the must-have Eid recipes in my home. Usually it would be Mom to prepare this dish on Eid's eve for every year. But now I can finally cook it (almost like Mom's) after she taught me how.
Anyway today's recipe of Daging Masak Kicap Pedas or Fried Beef with Soy Sauce and Chillies is best eaten with Ketupat Daun Palas or Glutinous Rice Cake Wrapped in Palm Leaves for Eid. During normal days, this kind of meat dish is just as tasty as to be served with a plate of plain rice as a side dish. This one calls for my most favorite beef dish ever. It is an easy family recipe so do try it; you will never regret.
