Lemak Cili Api Ayam

ALLAH IS GREAT....

This morning, I received a text message from hubby's niece, Azie, asking if I have any extra tart casings that she can buy for her mom. Since she and her hubby, Ewan are in Kuala Lumpur, they thought they'd drop by and collect the tart casings if I have any in stock. And they are in luck as I have one extra container of 50 pieces tart casings to spare them. Since they'll be reaching our place around noon, I told hubby that I am inviting those two for lunch. Just as I've said out my intention to hubby, Iddin, Syahmi's friend came by our house with his mom Saey, with a container full of fettucine in white sauce. Alhamdulillah. I haven't even started cooking for hubby's niece and hubby, but ALLAH already 'paid' for my good deed. ALLAH HU AKBAR!

Thank you Saey for the yummy fettucine.

These were what I had served for Azie and Ewan. Thank you for dropping by Pak Long's and Mak Long's house and for the lovely water chestnuts that they've brought along and that will be well enjoyed by me, of course! Hahaha...

Thanks to Zai for being my 'talian hayat' when trying to cook this following recipe. To some, it's not a big deal to prepare this meal... as easy as ABC but not to me! Hahaha... Here's the recipe....
