Aromatic scent of lemongrass, coconut milk, bay leaves and kaffir lime leaves slowly filled our kitchen as we steamed the jasmine rice with added turmeric to naturally give its distinct color. The spiced tempeh was well seasoned: salty, sweet yet spicy with a hint of acidity from tamarind. We made our own sambal with garlic, shallot, chilli, and diced tomato; slowly reduced it to intensify the flavour. As we tasted, we knew it’s going to be a badass when there was a smack in the face straightaway. This punchy yet addictive condiment would definitely pair well anything from eggs to fried chicken. Mom’s corn fritter also made its appearance, adding some texture with its golden crunchiness. On the other hand, twice cooked fried chicken tried to win the competition by bringing along crispy crumbs. We finally completed this dish with some warm salad of green beans, spinach, carrot and beansprout tossed in spiced coconut dressing.
