I story abit ok (with my broken english). The first time I tried this recipe wen i was in sec 2 ... dat was 14yrs ago. This recipe has gone through alot of modification. Wen I was in school the recipe is very simple. Diced onion, minced meat, salt and pepper ONLY (shepherd's pie filling)... den it evolve ... hee hee ... I mix here mix there ... trial and error until I am satisfied with this recipe. This recipe is flexible can use it as a base for fried rice (which I intend to later today), or as popiah filling, or puff filling, or tart topping ...
