Curry Chicken 咖喱鸡

Looking out the window, it is all hazy outside. The PSI hit an unhealthy level of 138, some buildings located further away from the house had become unrecognizable blurry grey patches. Every year around this time, when the rain is scarce, forest fire burning in Sumatra and Kalimantan bring upon serious haze problem to its neighboring countries, especially Singapore and Malaysia. The fires are caused by their land clearing and 'slash and burn' agricultural practice.

So what can we do? Nothing much as a civilian I guess. At the very least, close the window and turn on air-purifier!

With all the windows shut and dishes being cooked in the kitchen, the smell of the food can easily fill the whole house. So technically speaking, curry is not an ideal food to cook unless you would like to choke everyone in the house with its spicy aroma. But again, why not? ;P
