Miss 5 was so excited to see me when I picked them up from school today. Masuk2 aje kereta she straightaway said, “Mummy, I’m still fasting now! I didn’t eat my lunch at all and I’m not even hungry!” Punyalah sukanya dia tadi. Every day during Ramadhan ni, I bekalkan dia lunch aje and told her, kalau dia lapar, she can eat masa lunch. Kalau dia nak, she doesn’t have to eat and continue fasting until she comes home. So, tadi dia sikitnya excited sebab she didn’t have anything to eat masa lunch and terus tak makan nor minum until berbuka tadi. But it wasn’t a real fast sebab pagi tadi dia tak sahur tapi sarapan, hehehe. Esok dia kata dia nak sahur, nak bangun dengan we all at 4.30 pagi, we’ll see whether she can wake up or not :-).

Tadi I nearly nak menitiskan air mata sebab we had a small crisis. We couldn’t find our cds of lagu raya (well, my cds, not ours, hehehe)! I thought I had them on my computer because they were on it last year but tadi cari kat ‘my music’ tak jumpa. Then cari kat all the cd cases, tak jumpa jugak. Dah nak menitik dah air mata I masa tu sebab macam mana nak rasa aura hari raya kalau takde lagu raya kan. Even The Little Misses pun tolong cari kan sebab diaorang tengok Mummy dah sedih semacam aje, even though they had no idea what the cds look like, hahahaha. Sayang jugak anak2 I tu dengan I ye :-). After semua drawers kena selongkar, baru lah jumpa the cds, happy terus I sebab dapat nyanyi lagu raya this year :-). Tak best lah kalau nak buat tart nenas nanti tanpa lagu raya kan. Yang syiok nya, sambil buat biskut raya, sambil dengar lagu raya, baru lah bertambah2 sedapnya biskut raya tu, wehehehehe…… (mana punya ajaran sesat lah ni ;-)).

Anyway, for Iftar hari ni, Miss 5 requested (ye lah, sebab first day kan ‘pose’ penuh) kuih keria (again!) and nutella scrolls (again!). I dah naik muka tengok kuih yang sama aje but The Little Misses and The Other Half still makan beria2 lagi. Memang lah diaorang ni, tak muak agaknya ye. But tadi The Other Half dah bisik2 kata dia dah teringin nak makan buah melaka again. Ish, nasib baik lah I memang tau buat keria, buah melaka and lopes ni so senang hati I dengar, hahahaha….

And for main meal, we had fish, calamari and chips with raw veges. I bought ling fish fillet today, first time I tried buat battered fish guna ikan ling ni. It was a really really tasty fish. Even The Other Half said, it was the best battered fish he’s ever tasted (kembang semangkuk sekejap, hehehe). Ye lah, sebab ling fish ni New Zealand mari (tanah kelahiran nya kan) so tu yang dia rasa sedap sgt2 agaknya, hehehe. Nostalgia zaman budak2 makan fish n chips dulu kot ;-).

lemongrass said...

mrswongjowo,
I lah yg suka buat kuih sambil dengar lagu, lagi terasa mcm nak raya, hehehe

Ara,
teruskan usaha murni membodek itu hingga berjaya, hehehe...

Kak Ina,
itu lah kan, lagu raya tu aje lah yg buatkan sy rasa macam beraya kat M'sia :-).

Shiela,
kat Dubai dah pasang lagu raya ke? Ke tak pasang sbb nak raya kat M'sia? hehehe

Irma,
disebabkan lagu raya, tetiba berlumba2 orang beli tiket kapal terbang balik kampung ye :-)

SUe,
lah, siannya you :-(. Dulu2 masa I student klu dengar lagu raya mmng menangis. tp skrg ni maybe sbb 'alah bisa, tegal biasa' so siap boleh nyanyi sama2 lagi lah. Maybe 1 day you'll be able to listen to Raya songs again without crying...

Azieda,
Memang kan, masa the kids kecik ni lah yg Raya seems so exciting. They can make everything that's mundane and dull seems exciting and interesting, hehehe

AuntieJah,
wehh, banyak no request, hahahaha... My hubby tu suka mkn tempe tp pelat nya still tak macam Jawa lagi lah, nak buat mcm mana tu ye? ;-)

Am,
I takde recipe yg betul. My keria is the shortcut version.
I masak my keledek dlm microwave so dia tak berair sgt (susah nanti nak shape klu berair).
Then I mash and biarkan dia sejuk. Dah sejuk I campur dgn tepung gandum n a bit of sugar n a pinch of salt. Measurement tepung tu I main agak2 sampai kuih tu I boleh buat bentuk lah, slalunya I buat bulat2 aje.
Then I goreng sampai masak.
Bila nak sira tu, I akan masak gula+air sikit dlm kuali bersih. Biarkan sampai dia menggelegak or berbuih2, then baru masukkan kuih yg dah digoreng tu. Then just kacau until semua kuih bersalut dgn gula and gula tu kering kat kuih. Guna api medium aje ye.
Ini cara I lah, tak tau lah klu orang lain cara lain, hehehe

Lia,
tu lah kan, sedih aje kan baca bila hilang cd tu, hehehe. Klu tak jumpa, mmng I akan download aje. But thanks for the thoughts anyway :-).

Ayu,
banyak sgt drawers kat rumah ni sampai lupa yg mana 1, hehehe.. Ikan ling yg I beli ni dah siap siang n fillet so mmng lah tak tau rupa asal dia, wehehehehe...

CikSom,
you memang dah terkenal dgn rajin nya, hehehehe... :-P

KB,
Glad to hear you've got the stuff already but not glad about the chocken pox. Poor you, dah besar baru kena kan, sure lagi siksa. Anyway, take good care so nanti boleh lah you raya betul2 :-).

Thanks a lot!

mmuahhh!

fazid said...

akak...am drooling over ur fish battered.... please share the recipe...plz plz plz :D

lemongrass said...

Fazid,
I guna recipe kat taste website. Dia panggil beer-battered recipe. Kalau kat Brisbane ada non alcoholic beer, use that, memang sedap rasa nya. Kalau takde non alcoholic beer tu (kat sini pun jarang jumpa :-)), guna aje soda water. Soda water ni carbonated water without any flavour. It makes the batter light and crispy. I'll give you link to one of the recipes ok...

Akak..thank you :D...camtu guna soda water aje laa...bleh buat sirap bandung sekali..hehehhehe
