This is a favourite recipe that Mak always made when we were growing up. The whole combo, I mean. The rice, the ayam masak merah, the acar rampai, and the dalca ayam. But most of the time I would just choose the ayam masak merah and the acar rampai only with the rice.
I especially remember Mak making this almost every weekend when we first started living in Kuantan. It was back in 1993. We had no relatives at all there, and there were nothing much in Kuantan at that time. Yang paling best pun Kompleks Teruntum and Parkson Ria (small). So we spent most of our weekends at the beach.. strolling there, taking in the scenery, and bawak bekal nasik tomato Mak. Sedapp..makan sambil kena angin laut.
Well those were the memories.. and so I would want to be able to cook Nasi Tomato as good as Mak makes them (the whole combo) and I would want my son (hoping for 'children' in the near future, insyaAllah) to love my cooking as much as I love Mak's.
Here's the recipe :
