Notes

Note - You can add more water and steam your rice softer. It is all up to you. I am only making this by descriptions of taste by a group of classmates from Kuching. However if I make for my mother I would add a touch more water when steaming to cater for her 70+ years teeth and maybe fry a little bit less. Please read through my pics for the TIPs <3
Oh and I added Heabea sambal for hubby
