De one with Pineapple Rice

Humid

Today's been a great day. Went jogging in the morning. Managed to complete 3 km after 4 days of rest and exam preparations.

Empty stomached, I went to the library. Just in time when I reached, the door opened for admission. Hehe..save my time waiting. By the way, I didn't gel my hair.. Kinda like the natural look of my curled hair.

Today I revised two chapters of MKTG: Marketing Channels and Retailers & Wholesalers. I'm proud to say, I'm left with 3 more chapters to go. I did Accounting, to get familiarised with it again. Managed to learn a few more things I didn't realised during my revision for the last two weeks. Delightful event of the day, I realised I'm starting to have the passion for Accounting!

I went home early to try my first attempt cooking Pineapple Rice! Well.. disappointly, Mama was at the hospital visiting Uncle. She didn't tell me she have brought the neccessary ingredients for the dish. In the end, I went out to Thompson Plaza to buy raisins, Cashew nuts, Coriander. Since I couldn't get the real corianders, I bought the grinded type. Practised some creativity today. Decided to add my favourite macademia nuts besides the traditional cshew nuts.

Phew... I realised marketing skills and accounting does help. hehe.. I realised whatever I studied was really relevant and appropriate in real life. Realised there are so many products available. Pick..let's say.. Peanut Butter spread. There are so many brands.. each offering at different target consumers. Low fat for the health conscious... additional flavours for the variety-seekers.. Well...although these are "Fast Moving Convenient Goods", marketers have spoiled the consumers with a wide variety, increasing consumer's time spent on evaluating before purchase.

I must admit, I've changed in my consumption behaviour. Usually, I just grab whatever I desired. Unlike present, I dedicate more time considering the availables, compare the nutrientional informations ("labelling") and then, prices.

Ok..back to the cooking. With the help of ah-ma (my granny), we managed to follow the instructions on this "seasoning package".

1: Cut everything into small bits.
2: Add 1-2 teaspoon of VEGEATABLE oil. (Healthier choice hehe)
3: Stir-fry the shallots, onions, prawns, chicken meat (improvised)

Ah-ma taught me, to sitr fry the shallots and onions first. Until it's "qiah" (in Hokkien meaning crispy) before adding the meat. Although the instructions told me to put the vegetables in the end, poured in the baby-corns (substitude for the mixed vegetables), all the nuts.

4: After which, put the rice and the seasoning.
5: Having stir-fired the dish for a few minutes, put in the pineapple cubes.
6: Sprinkle the corianders.

Wah-la! Yummy!!!
It's delicious lor!!! It's really tasty.. I ate 3 korean-bowls of rice today.

Of course, pineapple must have accompanying dished. I fried a scrambled egg and cooked this made-to-ready Blackpepper Chicken.

Ser-dup!
