Well, I wasn’t really into cooking all my life. It’s not that I don’t know how to cook, cuma malas mungkin. I was too lazy to learn from my lovely mother who is a wonderful cook. My mum always moan that her daughter never takes much of an interest in cooking. My standard answers to my mum are:

  • “Kakyong nak kemas rumah, mak masak lah ye”
  • “Nantilah kakyong masak bila kakyong dah ada dapur sendiri”
  • “Kakyong nak keluar la arini..”
  • “Nanti kakyong blajar masak bila dah nak kawen ea”

Now I own a kitchen, ahh at last - my kitchen - a good place for trial and error, I’m beginning to show an interest in cooking. Cooking needs practice, then you develop instinct. Below is one of my attempts:

UDANG GORENG BUTTER

Bahan-Bahan:-
Udang harimau 400 gram
200 gram buttter
4 biji kuning telur dipukul perlahan
3 gram cili padi yg dihiris halus
1 batang serai dihiris halus
20 helai daun kari
4 sudu besar, gula, sedikit garam & serbuk perasa

Cara-Cara:-
- Goreng udang dengan minyak yg banyak
- Kacau butter dengan api yg perlahan
- Masukkan kuning telur yang telah dipukul
- Masukkan gula, sedikit garam dam serbuk perasa
- Gaulkan sekali dgn cili padi, serai & daun kari

This is a sector of my wet kitchen. Very basic eh. Oh I’m officially a fan of induction cooker. It looks intelligent because it’s shiny and has buttons =P. It’s extraordinarily easy to clean too. For a start, I bought the Philips single-zone induction cooker, I plan to upgrade to twin-zone cooker in the future.

And suddenly…I miss those days I forced my siblings to eat what I cook! Hahaha
