My KIDS call me MOM

Colours of my Life

You'll never know what's the future has in store for you. I used to pictured myself as a career woman once. But now, I'm a 24/7 housewife and mom. I managed to work for 2 years though, but lost my job at 6m pregnancy with my 1st child. Since it's so tough to get a new job, I'm just better off at home.

The minute I held & cradle my baby for the 1st time, I couldn't imagine anything that could held me back from being there besides her throughout her growing years. Not for a split second I thought of leaving home for a carrier life anymore.

So that's when my never ending story as a mom begins.. Despite all the hardship I went through raising my kids, I still can stood tall and proudly announce I'm a mom of 2 adorable kids. Never did it occur to my mind that I regretted leaving behind all my years of studying and working. My kids meant more than that.

It's one tough job being a mom n raising your own kids. Every mom has a different story to share. Different child has a different tantrums that will later developed into their personality... I'm still, and forever will be learning and challenging myself to becoming a far more better mom. Many tips I learned and would gladly to share with other moms out there..

Homemade Fried Chicken

Now I can make my own Kentucky fried chicken, W/OUT any instant flour or any MSG added... Just simply marinate your chicken with any spices of your choice. I just marinate mine with oyster sauce , crushed garlic and a few pounded spices. If its big chunks of chicken, its better to stab the flesh here and there and leave in for a few hours before frying. If its just small bits of chicken, a few minutes of marinating it would do.

Next, which is the main reason for all the crispiness is the extra cold beaten egg/s and some shortening in the cooking oil as stated in this link http://chefgunawanmalaysia.blogspot.com/

I simply had my own version, as usual. Instead of mixing some ice cubes in the beaten egg/s, I just put in the beaten egg/s in the freezer a few minutes, then dip my marinated chicken in it. Next is to roll the dipped chicken into the flour (1 multipurpose flour : 1 cornflour ) and here' s where you can add other extra flavors to it such as paprica powder, oatmeal, or just be creative with your taste buds. :-) then simply shake off the extra dry ingredients, make sure that each and every chicken is fairly coated, then fry them using any cooking oil of your choice. I simply add a little planta in my oil for that extra crunchness.. Fry till golden brown. Toss it and enjoy your homemade finger lickin' good chicken.. Here's how mine turn out... :-)
