Satisfied

Dear Readers,
Today I was so happy with my morning workout class. From stretching, through 'Aspalela', Tai Chi, Zapin, Joget, Poco-poco, some lose focussing but overall, they did well. I gave them encouraging words " bagus" " cantik" " you are so good""nanti kak N balik tentu dia suka". Next session, must do better, more improvement!

Ahhhcuuum


Dear Readers,

Bibik is frying some sambal in the kitchen, achhuuuum, acchuuuum. Bibik sedang masak ikan goreng sambal pecah! That's why banyak sneezing, the aroma terangkat hingga tercucuk hidung!!! Now she's sneezing, weeecthum !weeetchum!.. The sambal goreng pecah is made from fresh red chillies pounded with some bawang kecil and a piece of bawang putih(if you like lah) with red tomatoe (to get the sour taste). Then fry till pecah minyak, must stir all the time. If not,burn lah.Hangus!Then put in the already fried ikan, Mix or gaul well.Or you can put the fried sambal on the fish. This dish goes well with masak lemak kobis. But I like to eat the sambal with kicap. Gaul dan gaul dan gaul dengan nasi putih (cara orang Melaka makan dah, must gaul the lauk with the nasi!!). Orang Minang suka sambal goreng ni. Acchhuumm ! There I go again!!!!
Bibik tutup semua ikan dengan sambal goreng!

Nasi lemak bungkus

Dear readers.
Last night we had Nasi Lemak bungkus for dinner. Mr Sor brought home about 10 bungkus for 3 adults, 1 teenanger, and 2 kids! Imagine that! Mana boleh habis dah... This nasi lemak (picture below) is special. Well known, jual di rumah, a Malay house at Kampung Morten a.k.a Kampung Baru. And sold only in the evening. Taste nice, very the lemak-lemak, served with sambal, fried ikan bilis, slice of cucumber or some kangkung, telur dadar (omelette). All these are neatly put on a piece of small square shaped banana leaf. The nasi lemak together with the 'extras' are tightly wrapped with banana leaves(daun pisang). This is to get the aroma 'rasa'. Then the whole 'thing' is wrapped again with paper. But, it would be better and hygienic if plain paper is used, not printed paper or newspaper. Remember the carbon? To cut cost? Anyway, the paper can be done with. No problem. Just have the 'nasi lemak bungkus daun pisang'. Sometimes, some nasi lemak sellers use plastic to wrap the nasi instead of banana leaves. Taste not same mar...Maybe need special banana leaves not the any ordinary ones, lor..

The nasi lemak special, (four finished already). Gave away some bungkus to h2h 's S-I-L.

What it looks like. See the triangular shaped telur dadar?

And dear readers, people in Kuantan is familiar with ZAMAN, benchmarking for famous nasi lemak bungkus. Served hot for breakfast, some more. The nasi and the sambal, together with slice of cucumber and a piece of hard boiled egg (telur rebus)...so...uummmph! ZAMAN is so crowded in the morning that you have to wait for vacant seat. Sometimes, if you are the impatient ones, you have to go to the kitchen to get the nasi lemak bungkus yourself. That famous!! Now, where is this place? At Bt 9, Jalan Gambang.. Promosi nampaknya?

Pinky, pinky

Dear readers,
Recently I was given 4 essays to be evaluated who's the best. Essay writing competition mar...Dah lama tak periksa karangan, so faham-faham je lah. Frankly I dozed off as soon as I started reading the first one. Really a medication for those who have sleeping problem... Maybe of the heat! But I managed in the end. And as a token, the organizer gave me the above pinky, pinky bath towel, 'especially for you'! Terima kasih, ye.. You can count on me..
