When you come to a new place, there come a lot of new experiences along with it.........right??
New people, new surroundings, new foods, new markets, new weather........new, new, new!!!
I am surrounded by "new" right now, and honestly I am thoroughly enjoying it.
I am experimenting with food mostly, and loving going around the markets, exploring new ingredients.
I dont know how many of you enjoy a certain sweetness in your food. Sweetness as not in desserts, but sweetness in your main course, your curries?? I certainly love that tinge of sweet in my curries. I almost always add a little sugar to most of my cooking, especially gravies!! Yes thats a secret.
I had Honey Chilly Chicken at a nearbly Chinese Restaurant the other day, and honestly since then I have been craving to have my own version of the same. So here it was, and it tasted great, appropriately flavoured to my own liking....

1/2 kg boneless chicken - diced into small cubes
1/2 cup - cornflour
