Dalam pantry kat rumah ni ada berjenis2 beras for the different dishes that we normally cook. Yang paling selalu we all guna obviously is the SunRice long grain rice. Then we also have basmati rice (imported from Pakistan), SunRice medium grain rice for my risotto and SunRice koshihikari rice for my sushi and jasmine rice for my Thai- influence meals :-). And on top of that ada gak kadang2 we all guna brown rice so ada lah jugak that stock. Pastu not to forget beras pulut and also our instant ketupat (which is beras jugak kan, hehehe). So, memang penuhlah jugak the pantry tu dengan segala macam jenis beras, kira boleh lah bukak kedai, hahaha....


Since duduk kat Australia, kenalah guna locally grown rice kan :-). Masa I first dapat tau yang Australia does grow its own rice, rasa macam tak percaya aje pulaknya, hehehe. Ye lah, tak pernah ternampak sawah padi kat sini macam sawah padi kat M'sia tu so tu yang tak boleh bayangkan mat saleh kat sini ada jugak tanam padi, little did I know hey! Dah more than 80 years the Australians have been growing rice, that's a long time right! But since OZ ni memang very dry banding dengan M'sia so the way they grow rice lain lah sikit. I've never been to an Australian 'rice paddock' so far but it would be fun to visit one kan. But unfortunately, they only grow rice in NSW & Victoria so kalau setakat nak travel ke NSW from Perth ni just nak tengok rice paddocks tu memang lah tak berbaloi, hehehehe. Tak sanggup wei nak drive 4000 kms across the country just nak tengok 'sawah padi'.


So, awat nya lah I cerita pasal beras ni kan. Saje je sebab tak tau nak cerita pasal apa malam ni, hahahahaha :P. And we also had nasi malam ni for dinner. Ye lah bila sekali sekala makan nasi so special lah kan. Pastu lauk malam ni pun special sikit. Kenapa special, sebab I buat kari kambing biri2/ lamb and yang membuatkan dia special sebab ini kambing aqiqah. Thanks to the generosity of Siti and family , 2 weeks ago we got 2 ekor kambing biri2 (lamb) aqiqah you. Bukan sekilo dua, 2 ekor terus, hehehe. But I gave seekor to Sheri so tak lah sendat my freezer dengan daging kambing. Tapi sekor tu pun dah banyak sangat2 so berbulan2 lepas ni memang lah we all tak payah beli kambing lagi at the butchers, best kan, hehehehe. But the 'bestest' part is that kambing2 ni dah siap dilapah and tanpa kepala, hooves, organ dalaman or kulit which made my job so much easier :-). Kalau dapat seekor belum siap lapah, I memang lah dah surrender awal2 and dah nangis awal2, wahkahkah..


So, inilah our dinner malam ni. Nasi putih with kari kambing, telur goreng, tumis sayur n tahu jepun in oyster sauce and for Mummy, tahu goreng and sambal kicap, hehehehe..... Paling sedap lah makan kari ada tahu goreng and sambal kicap ni! The other half tengok I makan sambal kicap sikit pun dia tak terliur, heran I. Kalau I lah tengok orang makan sambal kicap dengan tahu goreng, memang akan ngences abis, hahahaha........ ( memang dasar Jawa kan :P)
