Salt baked chicken!

The people who ate the dinner I cooked last night are still alive.

Well, it looks that way anyway.

The menu:

Salt baked chicken stuffed with pandan leaves (my very first baked chicken!)
Braised bean curd with mushroom and mince
Stuffed peppers (capsicum)
Steamed ladies' fingers with anchovy sambal
Cuttlefish with onions and sweet-spicy sauce
Red bean soup

The last two items were contributions by mom. In any case, people who cook, I presume, will know these are all easy dishes to make. Therefore, if I can cook, so can you!

A special occasion, you say? Well, we bid farewell to a friend from faraway who's going faraway today, so I suppose it was. Because I loath flying, I won't be visiting that faraway place. So bon voyage and may we meet again, someday ... older, wiser, but still entertaining, I hope.
