Chicken Curry Kapitan (Kari Ayam Kapitan)

Kari Kapitan (Captain's Chicken curry) has a unique, rich and aromatic flavours.

This Malaysian ~ Nyonya Kari Kapitan/ Nyonya Kapitan Chicken Curry post was scheduled to be "Published' last week, but BLOGGER decided to play up.
I admit that I am not 'well-versed' in computing... all that jargon scares me.
Changes, updates, and upgrades in software freaked me out as I feel that 'something' is lurking and waiting to pounce on me anytime.

It took me a while to finally click on that 'Upgrade to Blogger New Interface'... but the story did not end there!. I soon found out that my current IE does not support the new Blogger format, hence I reluctantly made my migration to Google Chrome.

I was happy for a while.. discovering the new format, happily typing with my 2 fingers for this post, inserting photos....clicked on 'SAVE' button, with the intention to review before 'Posting' the next day.
That 'Something' did pounce on me.
I returned the next day to review before clicking on the 'PUBLISH' button, and to my horror, everything was GONE!
What's left was just the title!

I am clueless about what happened.
Was it me or Blogger?
My question to all my Blogger friends/experts out there: does this sound familiar?
And has it happened to you too?
I am in the dark, appreciate if someone could enlighten me on what is going on with new Blogger format.
Now that's out of my chest.

After a few posts on International food, I need some spice and chillies in my weekly diet.
I am back with our favourite Nyonya Cuisine ~ Kari Ayam Kapitan.

Kapitan is a Nyonya-Malay word for Captain.
Kari Kapitan is loosely translated, Captain's curry.

Preparations prior to any Nyonya dishes are always laborious, but the end result is always satisfying!
Almost finger-licking good.
