Never too much rice
Whenever I cook rice, I always cook much more than I need. Mainly because my rice cooker does not handle small portions of rice too well, but also because overnight rice is great for nasi goreng.
Did the same when I made nasi lemak. Lemak rice for frying? why not? (It actually tasted great, especially when fried with eggs)
Rice fried with eggs and broccoli (left over from the salmon chowder), served with home made Char Siew.
Rice fried with beans and pork slices, served with a Bull's Eye (sunny-side-up?).
Other than swapping the broccoli with beans, both the dishes used essentially the same ingredients.
I just realised that the new location of my apartment has altered my cooking a little. Now that the shopping mall is so close, I no longer need to do a week's worth of shopping. Instead, I go more often, and buy enough for just a couple of days.
Points-- : I end up using the same ingredients for a few dishes in a row.
Points-- : I'm spending more on shopping
Points-- : Source of cheap beer is near (temptation!)
Points++ : I use fresher ingredients.
Points++ : I'm more likely to try new ingredients more often.
Points++ : Source of cheap

agree! Left-over rice (that is a bit dry) is the best for fried rice. Looks nice :) Need to eat breakfast now!
rice is nice! my staple diet. anyway, glad you like your new place, with some -- points except the beer, haha. i'm shifting too coincidently. hopefully i would then go to the pasar nearby it more often!
