Tomato Rice ... 番茄饭

After cooking  'Ayam Masak Merah', i am interested to cook Tomato Rice.
Since the linky is reopen for linking some have not linked post i took this opportunity to cook this. 
煮了香辣红番茄怎么可以少了番茄饭呢!!
趁着linky从开, 由于要link上没被link上的一些贴子. 我就趁机煮这个番茄饭. 

This Tomato Rice is very flavourful and the texture is very nice. 这饭口感很爽口,味道也超棒.

I sprinkle some fried shallot for extra aroma. 加了点炸红葱, 味道更香 ^_^
