Chicken Rice

Ace only has a few favourites when it comes to meals.. it is either Sushi, Sauce Mian or Chicken Rice.

Recently he become even more 'high class' and wants "nai nai's chicken rice'.

Initially I did not understand what he means.. and so i told him that I don't know how to cook Nai nai's chicken rice and spent alot of time trying to persuade him to eat something else..

Then one day, by pure chance, I found out that what he means by Nai Nai chicken rice is merely rice with something that looks like mock meat where the rice is put into a bowl and put upside down back into the plate so that it is round...

But leh, you cannot just give him the bowl shaped rice.. cos he will ask, "Where is my chicken?"

So it has to be with the vegeterian chicken of any sort.

Sometimes becos we are so bored with the few places that we visit for food, we go to those normal zichar stalls and ask them to fry vegeterian food for us. There was once we went there and since there was no veg chicken, we ordered fried rice and toufu.. and then we put toufu and mushrooms at the bottom of the bowl and top up the rice and turn it over...

And just to make it very attractive, we give it a interesting name and call it Treasure Rice.. because you can see the treasure hidden inside when you top it upside down..

Luckily, Ace is intrigued by the idea as he loves surprises... (during xmas, he asked me if I can buy a surprise present for him and wrap it when I am in school.. given a choice to choose something he wants and a surprise, he still chose a surprise) and so, we are able to get away with eating some other things using 'Treasure Rice'...
