Pasar Tani di sini dan di sana

Dari kecil me suka ikut bonda ke pasar tani. Kalau diberi pilihan untuk memilih, di antara pasar malam, pasar basah dan pasar tani, me akan pilih pasar tani. Antara sebab me pilih pasar tani adalah pertama, kerana pasar tani tak sebecak pasar basah, kedua pasar tani diadakan di kawasan lapang, parking pun senang dan ketiga, pasar tani macam pasar malam, macam-macam ada, tapi dibuat di sebelah pagi. Lagi satu kenapa me suka pasar tani, sebab barang-barangnya segar dan murah. Kat pasar tani ni kita masih boleh beli barang-barang secara longgok; ikan, sayur, telur, sama ada seringgit atau dua ringgit selonggok, kecuali barang-barang authentic macam cendawan kukur, satu pot tin sardin yang kecik tu lima ringgit you.

RM1 Ice-cream

Since we have moved to Nilai, many things has changed. Miss y and miss t are still schooling at BSP because we have yet to transfer them to schools in Nilai. Thus, on Friday, en. e will bring the kids to BSP and we will have lunch together.  En. e has to return to Nilai to get ready for Jumaat. Since, it is still early, I will bring the kids to our old apartment, while waiting the time to send them to schools. Usually, I will send them around 1.30pm and then I will return to the office.

Handwriting

In my kitchen diary, Tuesday is Pasar Malam Day. This means that I will not cook anything for dinner or next day lunch (if I'm smart) on Tuesday. On Monday night, I will prepare the shopping list. Usually the list is divided into two sections. One is listing the groceries, and another is for the food that we will have for dinner. Once, I wrote all the things that I would buy at the pasar malam, including food for dinner, I will asked everyone in the house what they would like to have for dinner. Until one day, I'd just partially finished listing the groceries items, and have to leave the list on the kitchen counter for urgent matter. When I walked into the kitchen to finish the list, I saw someone wrote "ayam stick 2" on the list. It was so funny, and I have no idea when did miss t came in and wrote it down. I knew it was her because who else would be asking for "ayam stick" if not her. I regretted that I didn't took picture of that list as a momento.

And since that day, I only list down the groceries item. Then I will draw a line, and let the kids write whatever they want for their dinner and lunch under the line. Here is a picture of the pasar malam list wrote by me, miss y and miss t last night.

Yes I know my handwriting is the worst.

Yee Mee tapi tak sizzling lah

Dah lama nak masak yee mee. Resepi pun dah print out lama dah. Sizzling yee mee is one of my favourite. Kalau pergi food court mana-mana, me akan carik sizzling yee mee, atau claypot dahulu. Kalau takde baru carik makanan lain.

Semalam akhirnya berjaya buat yee mee nie. Yee mee tu dah lama beli, masa bulan Ramadhan haritu. Tapi nak buat masa tu rasa berbelah bahagi, sebab bulan Ramadhan kita nak masak something yang orang suka makankan. Yee mee nie pulak belum pernah cuba sebelum bulan Ramadhan. So I have to postpone cooking yee mee then.

Mandikan anak-anak bulu

Budak-budak bulu nie me mandikan mereka 3 atau 4 minggu sekali. Takdelah kerap sangat tu kan. Me kena mandikan sebab budak-budak bulu nie suka lepak atas katil dan sofa. Terutama si Didi tu. Kang kalau kita baring atas katil, tetiba aje dia memanjat katil dan naik atas badan, kemudian massage. Me pun OK je mandikan budak-budak nie, because it is consider an exercise for me. Bukan ape, diorang nie mandi bukan gheti duduk diam. Kalau tak wrestling dengan mereka nie memang tak sah. Buatlah macam mana cara pun, peganglah macam mana cara pun, hata pegang kat tengkuk diorang tu pun boleh lagi meronta. Punyalah tak suke air mereka nie.

Projek kraf saya: Kad Ulang tahun

Besok harijadi en. e. Minggu nie semua sibuk, miss t nak exam minggu depan, miss y pulak sibuk dengan homework dan tugasan sekolah. Dari awal minggu memang dah ingat, eh minggu nie birthday en. e, I must remind the kids to do something. Lepas tu tenggelam semua niat dan harapan, sebab sibuk. Pagi tadi baru teringat balik, alamak belum bagitau budak-budak nie lagi, adoiii (panic).

Penyudahnya, kenalah me juga yang buat sesuatu. Jadi habis aje meeting tengahari tadi, berlari kejap ke MPH, hajat nak beli kad sahaja, malam nie minta miss y dan miss t tulis aje kat dalam kad tu. Tetapi, aduh tidak bernasib baik, MPH kat Bangi Gateway tu tak jual kad. Jadi me pun mundar mandir dalam MPH, tengok kertas, tengok pen, tengok apa-apa barang kraf yang ada kat situ dan *ting* ok buat kad sendirilah. Dah settle beli kertas warna, marker sikit, me lari ke bawah (just figure of speech aje) beli kek untuk jamuan raya miss y, kemudian terus balik. Untuk lunch tak payah risau, sebab ada nasi lemak daun pisang ada orang belanja untuk ahli meeting tadi yang me simpan untuk lunch. So sampai bilik, time lunch hour tu, dalam gelap, dalam kesunyian ofis, makan cepat-cepat, kemudian me keluarkan tools, gam, gunting, pen, kertas dan bermulalah projek kad ulang tahun en. e 

[Dapurkuofiskeduaku] Sotong goreng kunyit bajet.

Hujung minggu lepas beli stok makanan untuk seminggu. Me tengok kat Giant Nilai tu ikan dan sotong dia segar, jadi me beli ikan tenggiri bunga dan sotong. Alahai kociknya ikan tenggiri dia, kenalah beli dua ekor. Seekor masak lomak cili api, seekor lagi masak berlada. Eh bukan sekali masak tu, hari lain-lain. Sotong pulak, masak tempura dan sotong goreng kunyit. Eh sama jugak, masak untuk hari lain-lain.

I baked Oreo Cheesecake

Dah lama rasanya tak buat cheesecake. I can't remember when was the last time I baked a cheesecake nor I remember the type of cheesecake I last baked. Yup, pretty damn longggg time ago, maybe I was still in Brissie. Anyway, with the new kitchen, and new kitchen organisation, I feel 'hungry' to bake.

Working mom have to think and work smart

Oh dear, dah lama betul tak menulis di sini. My last post was a year ago. Teruk betul.

OK better not talk about why I didn't update this blog.

Dan, sudah semestinya, a year has past and there are many things happened during that period. And the big turning point was, we have moved to a new place. New house, new environment, new life and a lot of new stories, cuma tak sempat, or rather, hilang idea and skill untuk mengarang. I tell you, since I had stop writing the thesis, I have practically lost that writing skill. My bad.

But I still have that urge to write in here.

Semalam dan hari nie semangat dah kembali. And I have a lot of idea and story to write in here. So hari nie, kasi warm up sikit. Today I will share a story about food.

I missed....writing

I missed.
I missed writing.
I missed writing something.
I missed writing about my family.
I missed writing about my cats.
I missed writing about my favourite books.
I missed writing about my favourite recipe and cooking.
I missed writing about that mundane stuff.
I missed writing stuff.
I missed writing.
I missed.

I baked Japanese Cheesecake

Japanese Cheesecake atau nama lain Souffle Cheesecake nie memang sangat lembut, dan ringan. Teknik membuatnya adalah lain seperti pembuatan cheesecake yang biasanya sempoi aje. Cara membuatnya seperti membuat sponge cake, iaitu perlu pengasingan telur putih dan kuning. Telur putih dipukul seperti menghasilkan meringue.

Kerana tertarik dengan teksturnya yang lembut, licin dan ringan. Saya mencuba membuatnya. Hampir tidak jadi buat kerana dua sebab, pertama, perlu memukul telur putih untuk menghasilkan meringue dan sebab kedua, cheesecake ini perlu dibakar menggunakan teknik bain-marie. Maksudnya saya perlu membungkus dulang pembakar kek itu dengan kemas supaya air tidak meresap masuk ke dalam dulang pembakar itu.

Masa mula membakar, agak risau, takut teknik bain-marie salah diaplikasi. Tetapi, selepas satu jam, alhamdulillah, jadi juga kek lembut ini. Dan terus menjadi kesukaan orang-orang dalam rumah ini.
