Lunch @ A's apartment - Home Cooked Dishes

We have had a home cooked casual session @ A's apartment with the "aim" to prepare simple lunch for three in an hour.

What we've cooked:

1. Fried chicken/mushroom/black fungus with ginger and dark soya sauce.

2. Fried vegetable

3. Fried egg with Ikan Bilis Sambal

4. Corn and chicken soup

5. Rice (light brown rice)

A's kitchen is quite complete. I had many surprises there. One of them is the "discovery" of Melaka ikan bilis sambal. It served very well with fried eggs. I love it (and felt quite nostalgic). We have cooked really simple dishes, but I think everyone is satisfied because everything is finished in an hour or so. Maybe if we can have ice-kacang after the lunch meal will be perfect.
