It happens like the previous tomatoes rice that I cooked but at least this one is already 80% cooked. The cook button pops up after a minute I have open the rice lids to stir. Damn, it’s so frustrating! So I steamed it in wok for another 10 minutes. To those of you who have cooked rice with coconut milk or other liquids or stocks, you will probably know the frustration of not being able to get the rice to cook properly. Next time I should add in the coconut milk only later when the rice is half cook and still wet. Btw, I just get to know that if you wan to recook the rice, you need to add in more water. Perhaps I should try Nasi Lemak v2.1 soon. Curry of Life v1.1 is an upgraded version as I added in several more ingredients such as lemongrass, tomatoes, onion, chili padi and sugar. With all the additional ingredients I have put in, this v1.1 is a little heavier in taste which is of course produce more fragrant, spicier or simply more ummppp or kick. This is definitely for heavy taste bud person. However, I still prefer the previous curry as it is more lite version.
