Kala Nasi Telah Menjadi Bubur... Cari Ayam

One of my favorite breakfast foods or even for lunch back home is bubur ayam (chicken rice porridge or rice congee). Depends on where you live, all you have to do is find your favorite vendor...hahhaa They are widely available from chinese restaurants in the mall to cart vendors who would go around certain area in the morning until they run out of their porridge. Another way of getting it is from someone who knows what they are doing a.k.a. my auntie or my mom.

Well, since I am here in a place where there is no chinatown nor cart vendors, the only way to get it is when I have the mood to make it...hahahhaha So when it is Saturday morning and the weather forecast is not looking good, while there is chicken breast in the pot that no one wants to eat, it is porridge time!!!!

I made mine today like my auntie used to do, but I am pretty sure she had more stuff that goes into hers. Mine is less messy -- with chicken and coleslaw mix. However, since it is time consuming with occasional stirring; the porridge turned out pretty good (although that maybe my biased opinion)

This is how it looks like...

Once a surprise, now a happy quick snack

Once upon a time, when I was still working outside the home and was still getting paid..hahahhaa I told my hubby that I wished I could walk to the market and buy me lumpia goreng like in Pasar Blok A. Later that night when I got home from work around midnight, I found lumpia goreng on the kitchen counter... Freshly fried, by my BELOVED hubby!!! Wow that was one of priceless moments I would remember for the rest of my life.

Well apparently making lumpia goreng is not hard. Just like anything else that I like to eat, I would figure out how to make it. Since I don't like cutting vegetables, I thought lumpia would be something with more preparation than I want to do. Apparently, I was wrong.. (Again)....

Making lumpia is as easy as opening a ready mix of coleslaw from the bag, put them in a bowl, put your seasonings and then wrap them up in the egg roll wrappers. You can get them all from the salad section of your local grocery stores.

The only problem now, since it is easy to make and I am the one having the cravings....Well, you know the rest...hahahha
