Then we shifted house, and the Slim Lady lost the recipe. She also claimed that she couldn't recall how to cook it without the recipe, easy as it was.
Anyway, I'm feeling kinda adventurous today, so I googled and found some recipe for Chicken Stew. There was no better time to make guinea pigs out of my family. That's it! That would be today's lunch! The result? Well, not too bad really, but I still prefer the one from the Slim Lady's doctor though. I don't know what's missing.
Ingredients (for a family of 4)
- 4 strips of carrots
- 6-8 potatoes
- 3 onions
- garlics
- 2 Knorr chicken cubes
- oyster sauce (optional)
Method
- Fry onions and garlic till fragrant
- Add carrots and potatoes
- Add chicken
- Add Knorr chicken cubes
- Add oyster sauces and fry the mixture for about 3 minutes
- Transfer mixture to slow cooker and let it simmer for at least 3 hours on high heat.
- After 3 hours, turn the heat to low, and the dish is ready to be served
Easy to prepare, economical (only $4.20 for all ingredients!) and yummy. *slurp*.

Very good, Chris. You can cook this chicken stew plus the pumpkin noodle for our forthcoming X'mas get-together. $4.20 only? So cheap? Liddat don't even have to share out the cost. :p
Victor - Oopss... I forgot to factor in the chicken... which is about $4. You're absolute right, I have no head for figure!
Evan - yes I'll put up the recipe for the pumpkin noodle shortly. But what's worcestershire sauce ahh?
worcestershire sauce? umm, its a kind of sourish black seasoning sauce. some ppl call it lea & perrin sauce, example my dad. ring a bell? mayb the old, i mean, senior folks are more familiar with that name. anyway, this site has a detailed explanation of what it is :

Evan ah... you forgot the slim lady is a nurse. She chaperones different doctors, some nice, some not so nice and some downright nasty. It's one of the nice ones that share the recipe. U think suka suka can go GP and ask for recipe ahh? LOL.
