Pulut lemak & kari udang

Tengok gambar to betul-betul. Look closely, closely, closely.... What can you see? Yes, it's the glutinous rice served with prawn curry - itu bahasa orang putehnya, Bahasa Melayu kita 'Pulut Lemak dengan Kari Udang'.

Have any of you tasted it before? This is my first time. My husband went for breakfast shopping one morning when we were at my hometown, Kg Pertama, Permatang Pauh, Pulau Pinang. He bought few packs of 'nasi lemak' (as he thought so). To be exact, he bought 10 packs!!! Amboi! Sarapan pagi sampai 10 bungkus????? Well, the packs were so small, kata orang tua, dua kali suap dah abis. 60sen je sebungkus. All of the 'nasi lemak (as he thought) were packed differently. Some in pastic and newspaper. Some were packed in the banana leaf like the one you see above, and there are also some that were packed in banana leaf and newspaper. We understand that different packaging means a different content - the varieties of nasi lemak. We were wrong when we found out that the one packed in only banana leafs is a 'pulut lemak' not a 'nasi lemak'. Hmmm.... this is my first encounter with such a dish. Adoi!!! Dah tua-tua ni pun tak kenal makanan kampung sendiri. Malu betul!!

According to mak, they used to eat the pulut lemak like that (with curry) long time ago. And alhamdulillah, I had the opportunity to taste it last week. Bukan tak pernah balik kampung ye! Tapi tak pernah 'ter'beli yang macam tu. Anyway, it's delicious. Hope to eat it again some other time. Hmmm... yummy, yummy, ... Pulut Lemak dengan Kari Udang dan Kacang Panjang.

Kebab

Good morning!!!! Let's make a different today. (At least for my kitchen). Done with cereals, nasi lemak, lempeng or mee goreng, lets have something different this morning. Considering the kids only had something light for their dinner last nite, I resort to making an instant kebab!! Mmmm .... Amacam? Terliur tak? Well, very easy to prepare. I used all the instant ingredients. Onion - diced Ayamas Chicken burger - suitable for grilling, defrost and sliced (do not take too long to defrost it as it is difficult to slice it later) Olive - sliced Tomato - diced Olive oil Oppss... don't forget the bread - I use Gardenia's rolls. 1. Heat the pan with olive oil. 2. Fry the sliced chicken burger till cooked. 3. Add onion, tomato and olive. 4. Add seasonings - salt & pepper. 5. Cut the roll in the center vertically, but do not separate it. Apply butter onto it. 4. Toast it over the burning stove for a while (to replace charcoal burn). 5. Stuffed the chicken burger. 6. Garnish wit

Masak lemak Daun Kaduk

Assalamualaikum Pokok kaduk tumbuh membiak di sekitar rumahku dengan suburnya. Adakalanya terpaksa dicantas buang kerana telah menyesakkan pandangan. Tertanya-tanya juga apa lagi yang boleh dibuat dengan daun kaduk ni. Kata pepatah, "Malu bertanya sesat jalan". Dalam bersembang-sembang bersama rakan sepejabat mengenai pokok-pokok herba ni, beliau mencadangkan untuk buat masak lemak daun kaduk, Sedap, katanya. Well, why not? Inilah hasilnya. Caranya: Balik dari pejabat, aku memetik beberapa helai daun kaduk (sebab ini peringkat percubaan makanya tak boleh masak banyak, bimbang jadi pembaziran pulak). Ada la dalam 20 helai daun kaduk.  Dicuci bersih.  Kemudian dicelur. (Celur untuk mengurangkan baunya. Kalau OK dengan baunya, tidak perlu celur) Sementara tu, aku mula mengopek bawang merah dan putih.  2 biji Cili api dipatah-patahkan aje (sebab malas nak menumbuk) Seterusnya, rebuskan saja bawang, cili api, ikan bilis dan serbuk kunyit. Kem
