harum manis ikan bakar

i just came back from '3-day bengkel' at Arau. apart from attending that serious and formal bengkel, we took the opportunity to relax our mind jalan2 perabih duit sambil makan2, hehe. alang2 pergi perlis, round kawasan jap. i havent be there,seriously. once we arrived there, checked-in hotel, and then, yahoooooo..Padang Besar, im cominggg. bunyi sohor sgt padang besar, try gi lah. but for me, it's not as best giler as i heard (sorry perlis people). biasa je. similar to rantau panjang or pengkalan kubur or bukit bunga in my hometown. there are pakaian, kerongsang, beg, toys, makanan which are mostly made in thailand sold there. i bought kacang gajus bakar je. sedapp, RM 10 per 200gm.

the next evening, we went to kuala perlis, tried laksa kuala perlis. the most suggested one, kedai kaksu, selling the one and only menu, laksa. the kuah is more or less laksa penang la. but here it's called laksa kuala perlis with its own ingredients i bet. the taste was nice for the first try. next try, it became more tasty and tastier sampai tk sedar dh habih. the kuah was so pekat. i like it, but kalau kurang pekat, lagi i prefer.. weekend ni nk masak laksa penang lah. slurrp.slurrp.

the 3rd night, we went to the most awaited agenda, the first thing came in mind after heard that we are going to bengkel. yess, makan ikan bakar kat kuala perlis. yumm, yummy, yumm. we ordered ikan jenahak bakar, sotong celup tepung, kerang bakar, tomyam and kailan ikan masin. sedapnya sampai menjilat jari. the cost only RM 70++ for 5 persons. worth the price la. nak dtg lagi ngan family nanti.


makan ikan bakar kuala perlis

dh datang perlis, tak sah tk bawak balik mempelam harum manis. yeahh, i bought 10 kilos of harumanis, sala and nam dok mai mango. we all did actually. sempat lagi tu. thank you to puan Che Aminah for supplying the mempelam. nasib baik masih lagi musimnya. kalu tak, tak merasa la harumanis. i also bought ikan masin, kerepek and beras pulut susu. buah tangan dari perlis. next week, im off to kampung. boleh la bawak balik kampung sikit.

p/s: lots of thanks to kak liza and kak mai for the treat, kak naimah, kak fizah, encik razak. congratulation to all for successfully undergoing the bengkel. good for me for the first try. nak pegi lg kalau ada peluang.

malam ni nak makan...hmmm

petang ni nk masak apa plak?hayya..i bab masak2 ni susah nk decide. sebab tak tahu nk masak apa (bukan tk reti, tp dh boring, sume resepi dh try.hehe). tanya abe pun, dia jawab "ikut lah, i makan je ape2 pun". tu yg maleh nk tanya dia tuh. hmm..bagus jugak dapat life-partner macam dia. yelah, mkn tk memilih. semua makan, tolak batu n kayu je. ok. the entry today  focus specifically on night-meal (dinner + supper la). you know what?we skip heavy meal at night (nasi la tu) for own good. so far, asyik biskut cicah air teh/kopi/nescafe. abe pulak, kadang2 mkn oat+susu+kismis. kids of course makan nasi la. sampai satu tahap, tiba-tiba abe berkata, "make sekut cicoh air sokmo". hehe. oleh kerana itu, i pun googled lah. suddenly, i found recipe on how to make karipap (credit to myresipi.com) . hmm, ok gak kalau buat karipap. maka dengan semangat berkobar2, balik keje, i beli gandum (bahan2 lain dh ada). bertungkus lumus la menguli doh dan masak sardin. dlm resepi, inti dia lain. i tukar inti jadi inti sardin. boleh la dalam 20 - 30 biji karipap/sardin gulung. menjadi jugak cobaan pertama i. so-so la for the first try.

macam pisang goreng je karipap aku nih


tu karipap. hari sebelum tu tau tak i masak ape?i buat tepung pelita. pernah makan/dengar tepung pelita?. tgk gambar kat bawah ni. kuih ni i blaja drpd mom-in-law. dulu2 buat menjadi. tp yg baru ni mcm tk menjadi.hehe.silap bubuh tepung beras byk.keras dn pahit jadinya. tp ketidakbest-an telah di cover dgn rasa gula cair kat bahagian bawah dan juga santan di bahagian atas. byk juga i buat. 10 bekas kalau tk silap. sekarang ni pun ada lg dlm peti.hehe.tk sempat nk mkn. byk mknn lain lagi. balik ni baru nk perabih.


tepung pelita

semalam pulak, i try resepi baru lagi. yg ni utk lunch. saja ubah selera. i masak ayam padprik. asyik makan padprik kat kedai je. ape kata buat sendiri. boleh tahan jugak rasanya. adik ipar siap amik resepi lg dr i. dia tanya cmne resepi padprik ni, sup pun dia tanya i cmne nk buat. sup i resepi ori tau. tk guna pun sup bunjut tu. apa yg i taruk?alaa.. guna bunga lawang, kayu manis ngan pelaga hindi je. i rasa la (tk tahu la org lain), yg ni lagi sedap drpd guna sup bunjut tu. tak caya acu cuba try test. tmbah lg perah asam limau, daun sup, bawang goreng ngan cili. slurrppp. hirup dia je pun sodap. apatah lg mkn dengan mi/bihun/kue tiau.

ala-ala nasi goreng USA


nk masak ape plak karang?yet to be decided. to be continued.

yeayy. i managed to cook 'bihun soto' this evening (menjadi jugak). 2 hari boleh makan tu. i buat byk. ingat weekend ni nk buat lg sebab rempah2 dia ade lg dlm peti (lebihan masa buat hari tu). sedap sehingga menjilat jari. kids n abe pun suka.

sedapnya nampak pengat pisang nih


p/s: nk masak yg simple2 je kalau boleh.kalau dh kena blend, kena bubuh santan, tu dh kira susah dh tu.hehe. sebab tu sup sayur/ayam/daging is among the top list in my menu for weekend. simple n easy n best too.hehe

next, it's your time ~ teachers

last weekend we celebrated mom special day, followed by jururawat's and now we'll be celebrating teachers day. wahai cikgu, pendidik, pengajar dan yg sewaktu dengannya, "SELAMAT HARI GURU".

during my school time long time ago, my parent didnt bother about what to give to teachers on their very special day. till i was in standard 6, then i thought to give something to 'selected' teachers (hehe). dh semua org bagi hadiah kat cikgu, takkan aku ketua pengawas tk bagi hadiah kot. and you know what, i only gave to cikgu maktab (lelaki you), special thing to special teacher, butang baju melayugelenya sungguh masa tu. cikgu lain tk terfikir pun nk bagi hadiah.heheh. times moved on and this special day passed by just like that during my secondary school either. no gift from me. dahsyat sungguh aku nih.

but now, i realized something, in order to boost children's success in school, we are supposed to appreciate our children's teachers. we can give small mug, pen or even just send them wishing card. im doing this for azami's good. i bought something and let him wrote his name on his own (he is 6 and already know how to write his name, alhamdulillah) and told him to give to teachers next week. he said, " ok "(smile). perhaps this time he just suka2 nk bagi hadiah kat cikgu. one day, he'll understand that it is a kind of appreciation, to appreciate what they have done all this while which actually have no value at all. THANK YOU TEACHER.

p/s: happy teachers day to my abe, nini, in-laws and all of you moms. we are also teachers at home.yeahhh.

just for you - jururawat

SELAMAT HARI JURURAWAT kepada semua misi2 kat luar sana.

sebut pasal jururawat, mesti kita terbayang mereka yang beruniform putih, pakai tudung ada line, kerja kat hospital, klinik atau di pusat kesihatan yang kerjanya membantu merawat orang sakit. mereka yang disebut2 td tugas hakikinya sememangnya merawat orang sakit. dah termaktub. tapi ada lg mereka yang tidak beruniform putih, tdk bekerja kat hospital, tp kerjanya merwat jugak, malah semua kerja dia buat. yaaa, betul. dialah ibu,mak,umi, mama, mami, mom dan sewaktu dgnnya. dia merawat luka2 kecil si anak dan jugak si bapak. check suhu anak masa anak demam, tak tidur malam berjaga apabila si anak demam. pendek kata si ibu jadi jururawat jugaklah. jadi, mak2 kat luar sana, SELAMAT MENYAMBUT HARI JURURAWAT jugak untuk ibu2 sekalian.

p/s: baru tahu ada hari jururawat sedunia. diknor, selamat hari jururawat

Happy Mother's Day ~ 9 MAY

'IBU, IBU, ENGKAULAH RATU HATIKU'

All mommies, not to forget, moms-to-be, this day is special for you ~ 9 May.




for me, hari ibu is celebrated to acknowledge, to give honour to our beloved mother as they are the best person in the world, the one and only person who is willing to sacrifice everything to the ones she loves, who cannot be replaced with anyone else except herself. as saying, wife can be changed but not a mother. Yes, it is. you guys can choose whoever you prefer to be your life-partner, as many times you like (limit 4 only), but your mother, she's the only one you have in the world with that title, your blood-mother. having this special day every year, at least, we remember that we have a mother to be appreciated to and free ourselves to be with her if we could, or at least calling2 tanya khabar. yes, it should be everyday that we should remember her, show to her that we care. but, with this very special day once a year, those who claimed that they are very busy, please, show your caring and love on this day.  

i wonder how come we heard such bad news of bayi di temui dalam tong sampah, bayi ditinggalkan di atas tangga. is there no feeling of love anymore?or it's more on feeling of aku belum kawin, macamana dh ada anak. to make it easy, just leave the baby when no one is around. ada yg siap tulis nota lg. just remember, what this baby could ask/do in another world after this?

Child is a give from Allah. Those who are so eager to have them, even a child is ok enough, tak dapat pulak. those who are given them, tak nak pulak, or they just ignore them as if they can grow up, learn something on their own. sigh. just thinking.s

enough. lets come back to this entry. i wish both of my moms read this (i know they wont). so do my children (dh kecik lagi, tak reti ape). they are not like me, like us, the mom-bloggers, celik komputer. but i just one to type this. to have a written-record on this. to say that, I LOVE U MOMS, I REALLY REALLY DO. im very lucky to have u both till today. what will happen to me if u r not here anymore?i dont know.i never let this feeling comes in my mind. kalau perasaan tu datang, aaahh..malas nk fikirmacamana agaknya mereka yg tidak ber-ibu (bapa).

BERBUAT BAIKLAH DENGAN IBU BAPA
SEBELUM MEREKA MENUTUP MATA
CALLING-CALLING SELALU...
