Hi! My name is Rose and I really love cooking and baking and experimenting with new recipes. After recovering from Breast cancer about a year ago (in 2005 now) I decided that I really wanted to share my favourite recipes with people who also love cooking and baking. I have a large compilation of recipes – some are my own, some I have found. I am in the process of transferring all of them online so that my family and everyone else can have access to them. I really don’t want these recipes to go to waste! I hope you will enjoy these recipes as much as I have. Comments and Feedback are always appreciated. God bless! – Rose

Hi Rose,
Thank you for this sambal chilli for nasi lemak recipe. i was searching all over for a good sambal for my nasi lemak as my hubby and kids does’nt like their fried anchovies mixed with sambal. I will try some of your other recipes too.
Hi Auntie,
Thankyou for your recipes. I would like clarification on a couple of things. Do you make the chilli paste fresh or is it from a jar?
Also approx how much belacan is used in this recipe in tbsp?
Best Wishes.
Hello Aunty Rose,
I am a Malaysian living in Australia at the moment and I totally love your blog. I am grateful that you are sharing your mouth watering recipes. It has been very comforting to be able to cook local Malaysian food at times when I get homesick. I find your recipes easy to follow and my sambal chilli turned out great at first attempt though a little too spicy as I did not remove the seeds from the dried chillies.
I have added a link on my blog to yours for the convenience of my friends. I hope that it is ok, if not, please let me know and I will remove it.
Dear Rose,
I am a Malaysian living in UK. I love char kuay teow but just wondering how to make the chilli paste for it. Do you grind dried chillies? I would appreciate the recipe for the chilli paste pls.
Auntie Rose, I have been searching for the recipe of the good sambal chilli. Please inform how to do the chilli paste. Thank you
Auntie Rose, please let me know how to make the chilli paste and how much or how big is 1/4 piece of belachan?
Thanks
Auntie Rose, what’s the brand of the chilli paste to use? As I am living in Victoria, Australia and going to Malaysia during CNY holiday, is there any chance to attend your cooking class over that period. Wishing you A Happy and Prosperous New Year. Thank you.
Regards
Lily
Dear Rose
How do you make the chilli paste for Nasi Lemak? Do you just soak the dried chilli and blend it? If yes, what is the ratio of dried chilli and water?
Thank you

Chilli Paste- I normally soak a bunch of dried chillies in boiled water (hot/warm)for about 5 minutes to soften it up, remove and blend it with some garlic and a pinch of salt. Incidentally, I also use the same chilli paste to spice up my Char Kuew Teow.
Hi Micheal,
Thanks for sharing. God bless.

Hi Rose,
I made nasi lemak for the first time this week and it turned out quite well.
I had a problem though: the chilli in the sambal tasted very spicy/ raw even after cooking for an hour. I used Michael’s recipe to make the chilli paste (thanks, Michael), using only 8 dried chillis, minus the seeds. How can I tone the spiciness down?

Boiling the dried chillies (minus the seeds) for approximately 30 mins – 40 mins before putting ‘em in the blender, helps to reduce the spiciness.

My Dear Rose
