CHICKEN RENDANG


RENDANG
Rendang is a spicy meat dish which originated from Indonesia, especially the ethnic group of Minangkabau, and is now commonly served across the country. One of the characteristic foods of Minangkabau culture, it is served at ceremonial occasions and to honour guests.

Rendang is also served among the Malay community. Rendang is traditionally prepared by the Minangkabau community during festive occasions such as traditional ceremonies, wedding feasts and Hari Raya (Eid al-Fitr). Although culinary experts often describe rendang as a curryrendang is usually not considered as such in Indonesia since it is richer and contains less liquid than is normal for Indonesian curries. In 2011 an online poll of 35,000 people by CNN International chose rendang as the number one dish of their "World's 50 Most Delicious Foods (Readers' Pick)" list

CRISPY CRABLETS RECIPE


CRAB
Crabs are decapod crustaceans of the infraorder Brachyura, which typically have a very short projecting "tail" (abdomen) (Greek: βραχύς, translit. Brachys. usually entirely hidden under the thorax. They live in all the world's oceans, in fresh water, and on land, are generally covered with a thick exoskeleton and have a single pair of claws. Many other animals with similar names – such as hermit crabs, king crabs, porcelain crabs, horseshoe crabs, and crab lice – are not true crabs.

DAGING LANDAK MASAK KICAP


LANDAK
Landak merupakan sejenis haiwan mamalia yang unik. Landak dikenali sebagai "porcupine" dalam bahasa Inggeris yang terdiri daripada gabungan dua perkataan Latin yang bererti babi berduri.

Keluarga landak terbahagi kepada dua iaitu Hystricidae dan Erethizontidae. Landak di Amerika adalah dari keluarga Erethizontidae sementara landak di tempat lain adalah dari keluarga Hystricidae.

Secara amnya, landak mempunyai bulu keras yang meliputi bahagian atas badan mereka. Duri landak ini merupakan salah satu alat pertahanan landak yang berkesan. Sekiranya landak diserang atau terasa terancam, landak akan cuba melarikan diri dengan pantas ke dalam sarang mereka yang biasanya terletak di bawah tanah.

Tetapi bukan semua spesies landak mempunyai bulu yang keras. Terdapat juga landak yang mempunyai bulu yang lembut seperti Trichys lipura di Borneo.
