AYAM MASAK PALEMBANG

Assalammualaikum Wr Wb...

SALAM SATU MALAYSIA DAN 

SELAMAT HARI KEMERDEKAAN BAGI RAKAN2 DARI MALAYSIA!!!!!

Sungguh tak kena ucapan ni dengan tajuk entry ni.

Tapi bukankkah ini satu keukhwahan?

Yang tulis orang Singapore, masak lauk Indonesia, 

lepas tu beri ucapan pada rakyat Malaysia.

Class kan!!!

Maaflah sangat2 kerana kita begitu sibuk hujung minggu yang lepas.

Semalam pulak memang tak kuasa nak buat apa2.

Sibuk dengan apa?

Sibuk dengan projek2 kita Cik Kiah oi....

Sabtu dan Ahad, ni jelah mampu kita buat....

Itu semua adalah tempahan yang orang2 buat melalui kita.

Terima kasih lah pada semua yang sudi tempah kuih tart ni dan juga di atas kepercayaan anda.

Kalau sedap, tahun depan order lagi ye!!!

Mestilah sedap pasal dah test try lepas tu order kan!

Heheheh..iskh! takbur takbur....hiyakdush!!!! (pada diri sendiri)

K k....dah jauh dah melalut...

Sabtu lepas kita buat Ayam Masak Palembang.

Itu jelah masanya kita buka stove.

Ahad dan semalam, Bazaar Ramadan Jurong jawabnya. 

LOL!

Resepi ini pun dapat dari, biasa jugak, tak lain tak bukan, Kak Ayu.

Maaflah tak de gambar bahan dan cara2 langsung.

Pasal kita dah kelam kabut buat lauk ni.

Ada story sikit.

Mula2 ingatkan tak jadi lauk ni.

Masa kita taruk santan, terus pucat jadinya.

Kita ingatkan salah, pasal Kak Ayu cakap taruk 2 cawan santan.

Kak Ayu tak cakap santan cair ke pekat.

Kita pun taruk je santan pekat.

Tetiba je jadi pucat.

Berkat pengalaman yang tak seberapa ni, kita decided to wait.

Dalam 5 minit gitu, baru warnanya jadi kemerahan.

LOL!

Nasib baik, kalau tak...telefon dah standby da nak call KFC!

Kak Ayu punya digoreng kemudian kuahnya disira di atas.

Kita punya goreng jugak lepas tu humban terus dalam kuahnya.

EMANG DASAR!!!

I admit that I am full of flaws.

I admit that it was you, who despite of your young age, guided me back on track.

It was because of you that I came back to my family and my friends.

It was you who were there listening to me as I pour out my thoughts and feelings.

It was you whom I leaned my head on as I cried thinking of the pathetic state I was in.

It was with you that I spent my lonely days with.

And for all that, I thank you.

I admit that I fell for you because of your maturity.

I felt safe and secured having you by my side.

But we've made it clear that it was impossible for both of us.

We came to a conclusion that as and when I needed you, 

you will be there for me and my whole trunk of emotional baggage.

And because of that too, I believe, you think that I owe you big time.

You felt superior to me.

"...Aku baru 19 tahun tapi kau, 27 tahun, dengar cakap aku..." may be what you were thinking.

You felt that I was at your beck and call.

Well....

For the record, I purposely lowered myself to that extent.

Never did I realise how much of a hypocrite you were until now.

I was warned but I unheaded the advice.

Perhaps it was my bad fortune everytime to go through every shit once before learning my mistake.

You claimed not to be like your friend whom we both knew.

In fact, you were worst.

Luckily, fate has it that you only had the few chances you had, to scrap me off my money.

You've brainwashed me, and others too, regarding you ex.

I pity your ex becuase your ex has to put up will all the shit.

You've succeeded in making people hate your ex.

My heart goes to you, EX.

But your ex is one strong person who pushed everything aside and moved on.

While you did not.

I met your ex and we told each other what needed to be told.

It all started because I wanted to know how you were doing.

Although I was angry with you months back because of your reply when I looked you up,

I still care.

I ended up being more furious.

I remember warning and telling you regarding certain things.

You obviously did not listen.

I questioned myself why.

Looking back, you did the same to me and I believe you did the same to whoever it may concern.

WHOM happened to be my arch-enemy.

How much more remarkable can things be...

Well...

if you think that I am inferior as compared to you,

you are very wrong dear.

And I don't need to prove it to you.

Time will tell.

You've got nothing.

Really.

NOTHING.

You are just a shadow of everything and everyone else. 

However, beneath all that, I miss you.

 And I do want to carry on befriending you.

Possible or not, I leave it to Allah Almighty.

What really pissed me off right now is that, I can't believe you would stoop so low

just for a watch and jacket.

 

If I continue typing any longer, I will just burst and names will appear.

Forget it.

KUIH TART SANA SINI

Assalammulaikum Wr Wb...

Maaflah tak update beberapa hari ni.

Bukan malas tapi dah over rajin buat order kuih tart untuk Hari Raya.

Dah alang kepalang, buat sekali order kuih makmur.

Adunan nya sama pun.

Nilah dia nak tayang kita punya

HOME MADE KUIH TART.

Ini adalah kuih tart kita yang original standard size.

Yang ni pulak adalah mega kuih tart. LOL!

Design dia lain sikit.

Cuba perhatikan.

Yang standard size tu biasa punya kuih tart, tepinya di kepit.

Yang mega kuih tart tu pulak, tepungnya dibentuk pakai acuan.

Tapi pada kita, bezanya setakat bentuk.

Inti lebih kurang sama banyaknya.

Ini bermakna kita tak lokek inti.

LOL!

Alhamdulillah banyak yang order.

Selalunya untk Hari Raya orang banyak order yang biasa punya.

Yang mega tart tu selalunya bila orang buat majlis.

Sembaranglah lah...asalkan orang order, bayar dan puas hati, Alhamdulillah...
Terima kasih pada semua ynag menyokong.

Dan untuk pengetahuan, kita masih menerima order bagi kuih tart dan kuih makmur.

Untuk maklumat lanjut, sila ke sini.

K lah....hingga jumpa lagi.

Kita nak gi Sholat Jumaat.

Salam hujung minggu.

Wassalam

WARKAH UNTUK RAKAN KU BERDUA

Assalammualaikum Wr Wb...

Saya pernah cakap,

"...niat nak bina masjid tu mulia. Tapi kalau asasnya tak kuat, lagi bagus jangan teruskan.

Biar masjid tak jadi, biar ditanggung 'rugi'.

Lagi bagus daripada masjid tu runtuh bila da siap.

Ramai yang akan cedera nanti..."

To you, like I said, it is better that the relationship ends now. 

Rather than in the future when much more is at stake, many more will be hurt.

Dear, use this opportunity to reflect on what went wrong.

Who really is at fault.

Only you, him and Allah knows.
Perhaps Allah took him away from you so that HE can give you someone better.
  Allah tahu apa yang terbaik untuk kau.

Whatever it is, you are still my friend.

Really, you are.

Remember what I told you over the phone.

Cuma satu je aku mintak.

Aku pohon....janganlah membenci.

Aku berdoa agar kau diberi kekuatan untuk menempuh dugaan ini dan dibuka hati kau untuk memaafkan sesiapa yang perlu di maafkan.

Aku sayang kau.

Well...as for the other You.

I have no say in your decision.

It was solely your decision to marry someone else.

It was also your sole decision to find a replacement that soon.

I don't blame you or whoever.

Dah jodoh.

Ketentuan Illahi.

Aku cuma boleh doakan yang terbaik.

BUT.....

the way you approach the whole thing, the way ou ended off the whole relationship is absolutely wrong.

Sorry to say but I think it was way too much.

Zalim sungguh.

Kau ambik dia dengan cara baik. 

Sepatutnya kau akhirkan pun dengan cara baik,

Well, what's done is done.

However, you owe her an apology bro.

Slowly...but please do.

To the both of you,

it pains me as much that your relationship ends the way it is.

Both of you know how nuch I love the both of you.

Albiet everything that has happened 

both of you are still my friends.

Ini semua ada lah kehendak Allah.

Just to let the both of you know,

I am not going to side anybody.

I will just be with whoever that needs me as and when he or she needs me.

Jodoh.

Easy to say, complex to understand.

ROTI BOYAN part 2

Assalammualaikum Wr Wb...

Did Roti Boyan again.

But this time, I used Bro Rozzan's (click) recipe.

The potatoes for the fillings are thoroughly cooked and mashed.

The last time I did, there were chunks of potatoes in my fillings.
Uncooked some more!!!

Blackpepper Beef with Capsicum.

Tengok pat blog dia macam menyelerakan.

Ala...semua yang dekat blog Che Mat semua sedap2.

Cantik2 pulak tu gambar nye, betul punya membangkitkan selera.

Kalau dibandingkan dengan gambar2 kita,
sigh...

 Che Mat ibarat kejora di awangan

Kita sekadar sebutir pasir di tengah lautan....

LOL!!!

Resepi kita ni takde capsicum memandangkan kita masak pukul 3 pagi untuk sahur.

Ala2 basic je kita punya blackpepper beef.

Tapi rasanya Alhamdulilah sedap.

Resepi yang kita sertakan ini adalah asal Che Mat Gebu punya yang complete.

I will state though which ingredients I omit out.

Harap maklum.

10 THINGS

Assalammualaikum Wr Wb...

No.

This entry is not about me cooking 10 dishes at one time.

Giler kaper!

Kalah catering orang kahwin.

LOL!

This entry would be one that has nothing to do with cooking nor baking.

This would be a pilot entry to many more future entries regarding random 10 things.

Thought that it will be a channel for this blog's readers, if there's any, to know me more.

And definitely a breath of fresh air when there's too much recipes at one go.

Today's entry would be, since we are in the middle of Ramadan,

10 Things I Like about Iftar & Sahur.

1. The abundance of Kueh

    During Ramadan, all sorts of Kueh which seems to shy themselves 

away throughout the year, suddenly appear in abundance. 

Especially at bazaars.

Apart from the normal putri salat, kuih lapis, etc, customers alike will suddenly be enticed to buy near-extinct kueh like jongkong, lompat tikam, badak berendam and many others.

The table at home will definitely be full.

This apply to recipes blog as well.

Tetiba macam2 resepi kueh keluar.

Rajin sungguh,com!

2. Ya-Karim song at Warna 94.2 FM after Maghrib

Listener's alike would definitely recognise it's melancholic melody

and the lead singer's tarik tinggi2 part tengah2, if thay listened to Warna long enough.

The song has been played ever since I can remember.

Until now I don't know the title and who sings it.

Lagu ini dikategorikan sebagai lagu musiman.

Hanya dapat didengar di bulan Ramadan sahaja.

3. Kurma

Eating kurma during other months seem to have a different effect 

as compared to having it during Ramadan.

Perhaps it's because we have been without food for a whole day and to have something sweet to break our fast is definitely more satisfying.

I swear by Ajwa, or what is called Kurma Nabi.

Arwah Nenek said that during Rasulullah SWT time, 

Ajwa was the cheapest and was known as the peasant Kurma.

Deemed inferior as compared to Safawi, Medina, Majdool.

However, Rasulullah choose Ajwa to be his kurma of choice

and after his passing, prices of Ajwa soared.

Demand rises as people wants to follow Rasulullah's steps in almost evrything.

4. Air Katirah

Maybe it is sold during other months as well but I for one, have NEVER seen and drink Air Kathirah except during Ramadan. And if I rajin, 

my Kathirah of choice would be the one sold at Bussoroh Street by this old lady, presumably of Arab descent or DKK and wears huge shades.

Glamour you...makcik jual Air Kathirah.

She has original flavour and other twists as well, such as corn, durian and avocado.

First tasted her Air Kathirah in 2000.

Was passing by her stall and she tried selling it to me.

I fall for her words.

"...anak..beli air kathirah nak...InsyaAllah sedap, tak basi. 

Kita jual bulan puasa ni tak bagus tipu2..."

I was sceptical in the beginning but when it was time to break fast, I tasted it...

I was at her stall the next day, and many days after, and many years that follow. 

Till today.

5. Chance to meet old friends during Iftars.

Childhood friends, kindergarten friends, primary school friends, secondary school friends, poly friends, JC friends, ITE friends, University friends, old workplace friends, 

and other friends yang sewaktu dengannya.

Selalunya kawan2 dalam kategori ini jumpa 2 kali setahun.

Once for Iftar, and once for jalan beraya.

For gathering sake.

After that, their numbers are safely stored in our phones and

will only be rung when the time to Iftar again the following year comes.

Thanks to Facebook, gatherings are much more frequent and we constantly know how they've been.

6. Post sahur feeling.

The air seem cooler and the atmosphere much more calming and serene

after sahur while waiting for Imsak.

Usually I am done with Sahur by 5 am and would have a good half an hour to just sit down, 

inhale my 'vitamin C' deeply (lol) and soak in the serenity while waiting for Subuh.

 I usually do a lot of thinking during this time.

7. The chance to practice recycling habits in the cooking sense.

This applies for those who cook at home during Ramadan.

With enough sense and a dash of creativity, 

unfinished food can be 'recycled'/turn into another meal.

Myself for example, left over white rice from sahur/buka, I use it for fried rice.

Left over stir fried potatoes with eggs, I mashed it up to make fillings for Roti Boyan.

Left over chicken from whatever dish,

I washed it, fried it and it will join in the Ayam Sambal Tumis dish.

Whatever as long as there are no wastages.

8. Morning faces.

I come from a family which places much importance in appearance.

Not all of us in the family are born with a perfect chiselled face, yours truly included.

However we are taught to at least keep our appearance neat.

Do not aggravate an already disastrous situation. 

Means - kalau da tak hensem/cantik, sekurang-kurangnya kemaskan lah diri agar nampak teliti.

Thus, it is with great anticipation in my family to see 

who comes to the table with muka pecah seribu.

It's comforting every morning during sahur to see someone who looks coiffed 

and well groomed all day long, 

looking like a survivor who just emerged from a wreck site dragging himself/herself to eat.

9. Everybody on the table.

Sahur is the only time in the whole year when everyone in the house can eat together.

Iftar varies because not all come home at the same time.

But sahur is definitely full attendance.

10. Lipton tea.

Laugh all you want.

But yes, I drink lipton tea in abundance during Ramadan.

Especially sahur.

To me, it helps increase the sugar intake in me to last me the whole day.

It is heaven if I have lipton tea when I'm doing No.6 (above)

Wassalam

AYAM MASAK MERAH BEREMPAH

Assalammualaikum Wr Wb...

Yes.

A chicken dish. 

AGAIN!

Did this before Sahur just now.

It's actually for Iftar later.

Got an errand to do later on and I don't want to forgo my sleep earlier.

Thus I did it way much earlier and now, it is ready on the stove, awaiting to be re-heat.

Got the recipe from Kak Ayu.

Again!

Jangan marah ye Kak, asyik masak resepi akak je.

2 reasons why.

One, I will be confused thus undecisive if I keep referring to other blogs.

Two, all of Kak Ayu's recipes kena dengan tekak semua dalam rumah ni.

I think I will just finish doing all her recipe before moving on to another blog.

LOL!

This dish I guess is best eaten with Nasi Minyak.

The taste is a tad too sourish for me.
