近来很少爬部落，没时间上贴没心情写文章选新食谱，名单排位虽然没落得倒数第一名但也惨不忍睹! 经营了八个年头， 心如冷了那还能谈些什么，今年还是要加把劲，多上几道好菜肴!
I like to eat Bak Kut Teh (pork rib garlic pepper soup) with Taro or Yam rice, how about you? This cooking was done last November, still a long list of back log to clear.
This dish is not complicated but there are a few steps and lot of slicing need to be done before hands. However, after stir fry the ingredients I moved it into rice cooker and let it continue the other half of the cooking process, so it is really painless to cook Yam Rice \^o^/ It was an attempt worth trying as the end result is satisfying aromatic yam rice! I love to have my yam rice with Bak Kut Teh! Recipe from Rasa Malaysia.
