Menggoreng belacan in a Mat Saleh house

Aggghhhhh….. Blogger ni memang buat darah I go upstairs aje.

But, bila fikir yang it’s only a small trivial matter compared to other issues worldwide, tak jadi my blood nak go upstairs, hehehe.

Hopefully, one day, they’ll find a solution to fix it. In the meantime, I’ll just twiddle my thumbs .

Hari ni I puasa ganti yang baru aje sehari, hikhikhik…

Ambik kesempatan sempena Maghrib early (5.22 petang dah berbuka you all!) and The Other Half takde untuk bayar puasa.

Selalunya bila I puasa for the first time after dah lama tak puasa, I’ll get a migrain yang teruk sangat2 from noon to night time.

Alhamdulillah, puasa I hari ni went without any hiccups. Susah jugak kalau dapat migraine and no one to pick The Little Misses up from school. Allah dengar my doa .

And of course lah kan, bila puasa, macam2 terasa nak makan.

And what did I make for dinner?

Sayur lodeh, ikan bawal goreng and SAMBAL BELACAN!!!!! Heeeeee…

(I know my ikan goreng tu sikit nya besar ke the kepala but we all tak makan kepala dia, semua tak sanggup nak makan bila tengok the fish’s eyes, hahahaha)

Punyalah lama nya I tak buat sambal belacan ni sampai I terlupa sekejap apa ingredients dalam samba belacan ni, hahahaha.

Laki I suka pedas tapi dia tak ngam dengan sambal belacan or sambal kicap ni. Tu yang I buat bila dia takde thus lama giler tak buat .

I goreng the belacan on the stove top sebab malas nak bakar such a tiny amount in the oven.

Miss 7 suddenly said, “What’s that awful smell! It’s really really bad!” Sambil kerut2 muka macam nak termuntah and dah siap tutup2 hidung dengan her jumper .

I forgot lah yang I’m living with Mat Salehs ni! (Baru bau belacan goreng dah nak termuntah, hehehehe….)

Kalau you all dah try makan sekali, memang akan terkenang2 seumur hidup wa cakap lu!

(You rasa the whole neighbourhood agaknya macam nak termuntah jugak ke sebab I bukak the windows wide masa goreng tadi, hahahaha.)

And then for dessert, I made pengat keladi+keledek.

Hari tu I beli frozen taro which I thought was keladi but it wasn’t the Malaysian keladi that I know. I think it was the taro that the philippines and the islanders like to eat. I was so disappointed sebab my pengat hari tu tak jadi .

Tadi, I pergi another chinese shop and I found another frozen taro which kali ni resembled our kind of keladi. I pun beli lah 1 packet which was 1kg (banyak giler but they didn’t sell smaller packets). 1kg frozen taro/keladi was $5.20. I also bought purple yam which also looks like keladi cuma purple aje, hehehehe.

So, mana lah I tak confused kan! Keladi is taro, keladi is also yam, taro is also another type of root vegetable…..

My colourful pengat. I letak keladi, purple keladi, orange kumara and purple-skin sweet potato(tapi isi dia putih melepak, go figure!).

Harmoni sungguh I rasa pengat I ni, macam2 kaler ada, hahaha.

Miss 12 memang tak nak langsung rasa. Miss 7 suka sangat2, but dia cuma suka hirup kuah dia aje, all the keladi and the keledek dia tinggalkan untuk I. Sharing is caring kan, hikhikhik….
