What a week?!
I haven't been able to cook much these couple of weeks
Just can't imagine, how many things will come across my life in the next couple of months.
Anyway...
This month, I joined this event again.. MASAK BARENG YUUK!!
I love the fact that I will have to cook something that I never cooked it before..
Today, I cooked sweet corn chowder...
I was inspired by
Nigella lawson, so I added the corn tortilla chips..
and, It does taste fantastic... It really does..
Here is the recipe..
My sweet corn chowder

1 tbsp oil
1 tbsp semolina
2 slice of bacon, chopped finely
1 small brown onion, chopped finely
1 tbsp parsley, chopped
1/4 tsp chili powder
Plain tortilla chips
Red leicester cheese, or use cheddar cheese, grated
Directions:
1. Pour hot boiling water to the frozen corn kernel, set a side for 3-4 minutes, drain
2. Combine the corn kernel, and minced garlic, and blender it roughly (you want some become mash, and some still hold its shape)
3. Add semolina to the corn mixture, mix well, set aside
4. Heat up the oil, cook the bacon, and onion until the onion soften
5. Add in the stock, and cream, and the corn mixture
6. Add salt, pepper, sugar to taste

2. In a baking tray, scatter the tortilla chips, top it with grated cheese

I also sprinkle some paprika on top, as a garnish
