It’s still not as nice as hers….

I have a friend who’s famous for her potato bake.

Everytime ada get together makan2, she will always bring her potato bake along.

Orang lain will always bring something different everytime.

She even says that she doesn’t know how to make sweet dishes and what not, she only knows how to make the potato bake.

But her potato bake memang sedap sangat2 pun.

Kalau dia buat function kat rumah dia, The Other Half akan makan her potato bake banyak2, hehehe.

And everytime (well…the few times I tried making potato bakes), The Other Half mesti kata yang rasa dia tak sama and tak sesedap macam the potato bake my friend buat tu.

Mesti ada kurang something!

So, I pun tanya lah rahsia dia.

She told us that she uses the packet scalloped potatoes powder mix that’s sold at the shops!

She only needs to slice the potatoes, sprinkle the powder mix on all the potato layers, pour cream on top and bake it until tender and brown.

hahahaha……

Mati2 I ingat she made it form scratch Smile.

So, tadi for dinner I pun masak sausages with scalloped potato bake using the powdered mix and garden salad with croutons.

For me and Miss 9, dah sedap sangat2 lah the potato bake.

But The Other Half said, “It’s still not as nice as hers. There’s something missing. Hers is creamier. maybe she uses more cheese….

Cittt!

I made it exactly the way she told me how to ok! Takde guna cheese apa2 pun!

Next time you masak sendiri! Tak larat I! Eye rolling smile

Assalamualaikum LG,
Byk kan sabar. For me anything from the heart.. dah sedap sgt dah.
Tp ada masa Sham pun jerit jugak dr dapur.. "kalau dia punya lagi best.. you pindah sajalah rumah dia". But that was only 1 time experience.. ever since, Cik Asben dah pandai "ber-skima" kalau nak say something about my cooking..

p/s; sorry ya.. tp mmg Sham gelak masa baca your story.

Selalunya kalau kat rumah orang apa yang dimasak mesti sedap berbanding yang dimasak sendiri.

Nampak sedap potato bake yang lg buat.

sis LG,

sometimes hubby memang camtu kan...hubby saya kadang-kadang cakap macam tu juga, then I'll reply back:

"bersyukurlah u ada makanan dan ada orang nak masak untuk u, cuba tengok org Afrika atau Somalia sana...."

terus dia tersenyum...kihkihkih

kak Kasih,
kureng2 pun dia tetap makan sampai habis which is I guess sedap lah jugak kan, hahaha :-D

Sham,
Waalaikumsalam. Hubbies memang mcm tu kan. Kalau kita suruh dia masak, baru lah dia tau susah nak bagi rasa sama sedap mcm yg dia suka tu, hehehe

Kak Zai,
memang betul tu. Saya suka pergi makan2 kat rumah orang sbb dpt rasa air tangan orang lain yg bagi saya semua sedap, hehehe

blu4sky,
hikhikhik...tu lah kan. oven pun tak sama jugak :-P

Zarin,
good suggestion. Next time I order dari dia and tengok apa hubby I ckp, hahaa

Mulan,
cepat sewa tongkang datang sini, hahaha

Nina,
diaorang ni kan kadang2 banyak suggestions utk menyedapkan the dishes tapi bila kita suruh dia masak, tetiba tak reti pulak kan, hahaha.

Meera,
I pun tak suka potato bake yg potatoes dia kurang masak. Terus jadi tak sedap kan :-)

Miss layaleya,
betul tu. but this one uses ready made stock powder so patutnya samalah kan rasa, hehehe

Mixed family in the house,
hahaha...hubby I memang macam tu. Diaorang memang patut bersyukur sbb kalau kita tak reti masak langsung and hari2 diaorang kena pergi beli makan kat luar, baru diaorang tau kan, hehehe

ummisara said...

relax LG :)

sebenornya, potato baked yoru friend tuh sedap ialah kerana it was a potluck kan...so ramai nak rasa...dapat pun sorang sikit...

cuma berlambak...tak der nya sesedap mana pun...n bila dah cuba yang sikit tuh, balik rumah dok ingat...hehehe

betul tak?

p/s: edelweis2006@gmail.com - pls drop me a line so that i can reach you...mana tau tersesat ka, senang lah i nak call tanya hahahah. Will be there esok pagi insyallah

Unknown said...

Hahaha..kelakar pulak. I tak pernah buat potato bake. Or maybe pernah kot masa zaman student dulu (kes tengok Singaporean friend buat and I tried to make one, too...). Hmm or maybe that was a different kind of potato meal that I made. I belum google lagi haha..

norhidana said...

Hafizah Mohamad said...

lemongrass said...

Ummisara,
Dah sampai Perth ke? :-).
Actually, I rasa sbb memang dia slalu sgt2 buat potato bake tu, tu yg sedap sbb dah terer, hehehe.

SOHO Mama,
I think I should stick to food yang I slalu masak lah kan, so they'll definitely turn out good, heee ;-)

Dana,
Nasib baik lah I ni jenis tak kisah sgt hubby nak cakap apa pun sbb I tau dia still akan makan sampai habis walau tak sedap, hahaha.

Hafizah,
air tangan orang yg dah expert dgn air tangan orang yg baru first time masak guna recipe dia :-D

Kniedaz,
Salam Aidil adha.
I takde recipe sbb guna instant powder yg jual kat kedai aje :-)

Chekgu Azrine,
Orang pantang jgn masuk sini nanti asik terliur aje, hehehe

RDimple,
nasib baik I jenis tak kisah bila dia cakap mcm tu, heeee....
