Yellow Glutinous Rice With Dry Shrimps Curry


















This is something I would love cooking for the family and yet not allowed to eat more that this portion :(  Yellow glutinous rice with my favorite dry shrimps curry !!! This rice reminds me of my childhood whereby an elderly lady would peddled on her bicycle and sell this rice wrapped in banana leaves to the neighborhood where I stayed. We have to be early or the rice would be sold out. I remembered my mom would wait outside the house very early in the morning before the sun is even up  to buy us this for our breakfast :)   Mom's love is the greatest in the world !  

















I used to live in Teluk Intan, a town near the Perak River and during that time, this town was famous for its yellow rice with dry shrimps curry wrapped in banana leaves. And the shrimps were large ones  too !  And today, I try to replicate the same rice with the dry shrimps curry and I am pleased with the result :)  but  then I am still not happy BECOZ'  I am not allowed to eat more than this small portion !!!  That is very  frustrating isn't it ?  :(
