It looks so colorful and delicious, isn't it? ;)

That is one loaded chicken stew! Looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteI'm so hungryyyyyyy
ReplyDelete@ Bussingbee: there are two kinds of koya. This one is used a mixed of shrimp crackers and ground fried garlic, so the taste savoury, garlicky and shrmpy.
how to make koya powder:
ReplyDeleteone packet of shrimp crackers, 3 cloves of garlic (sliced n fried til golden brown), sugar/salt to taste. Mix all ingredients in food processor til turned into powder. easy!!! ;-).......i am a bit naughty though by putting some msg in it haha
