meimei Hot Sambal Cili

feel like having sambal ikan bilis with plain rice (not coconut milk rice), for healthy concern :P but once in awhile is alright ;)

decided, go buy ingredients at jaya grocer which near my house; all the food, vegetables, meats, fruits and grocery are very fresh and clean there.

from start chopping to end cooking, it took me about 1.5 hours. no rush, steady and enjoy :)

enjoy cooking :)
