Hi Amelia,
DeleteThanks for your compliments! If you see me cooking this again, means I am lazy lor!! Hee....
i love one-pot meals ^^ this is perfect for the lazy me who have to (sometimes) cook ^^
ReplyDeleteHi Hui
DeleteI loves to cook one pot meals; like stew where I have meat and vegetables all in one pot. After cooking, less scrubbing and cleaning of the stove too. :)
This is my first time seeing Taro in mixed rice! I love it. The weather has been cold especially in the evening and I've been making mixed rice (we call it takikomi gohan). This sounds really yummy!

DeleteWe used to eat this Taro Rice at the food court/food stalls but nowadays it is getting costly per bowl. Well, it is always good to cook it at home. It must be coming to autumn now at your place and good to have steaming hot rice on the table!
looks delicious, plus very nice pictures!
ReplyDeleteMartha,
DeleteThank you for your compliments!
Hi, Mel, simple is good! This dish has proven all. A bowl of rice can come out to be so attractive, well done, Mel! In the following weeks, I'm also going to post some home cooking chinese dishes! Please pass me a bowl of rice please! To be return later, haha!
ReplyDeleteHello Jessie
DeleteI am looking forward to your home cooked chinese dishes. Aiya, let me know earlier, the rice finished. I let you cook this time. And happy cooking!!
