Beef Stew

This recipe is not hot(pedas) . The kids and bapak kids also can eat.. but if those who like pedas, this dish must go with sambal belachan...so I made myself the sambal tumbuk ikan bilis(fried first) with red,green and birds eye chillies and pounded coarsely. Baru boleh jalan..

Next week the kids will be having their mid year examinations...Mr Hubby, sounded...'hmm jangan blogging aje'..hehehhe I just laugh , got the hint...must make sure, the kids prepare themselves for the exam..kalau tak budak dengan mak budak sekali kena 'guyu'(cina cakap kena butter kat backside'...hehehe..
