Tomato Rice

I always told my hubby that I loved having my family always with me at all times.. I guess what I've wished had come true. Thank you Allah for granted my wishes.

Yesterday was indeed a blessed day for me as now that my parents stayed with us.. All my siblings get together at my humble nest... And most of you know how much I loved having people at my house..cooking, chatting and in the end its all about having good food with the people you loved.


So yesterday, we cooked tomato rice, dry curry prawn, lamb in chili, tomato gravy/kambing masak merah..we all having fun in the kitchen cooking together mum, me, sister in law and my elder sister;

Look at this delicious, juicy dry curry prawn! Its just so amazing with flavors!

Preparing your tomato rice its so easy and plus it's delicious :)
