In my last post, months ago, I gave rave reviews to New Moon Muar Otah.

It is something I always have in my freezer.

Another item I always have in my freezer is bread. Bread rolls, bread loaves or baguettes.

On lazy afternoons, with no enthusiasm to whip up something complicated in the kitchen, I go to my trusty freezer and pull out a baguette and otah.

Just follow the instructions for each item on their packaging. Stuff otah into hot, crusty baguette with salad of choice (or none at all).

The husband reckons I could make money selling this.
