Kasih ibu..

i alwayz felt 'penuh kasih' syg whenever i came back..mum or who i called ummi alwayz asked what ever dishes i want..puding..lauk..kuih..kek..everitin..sumtimes i felt very 'terharu' wif umi berusaha, struglling try to get tht dish i request on the table..but she's the 1 yg so eager asking me what i want..umi..i love u..terharu sgt..

since i came back..i tried puding raja, rojak 'kateh', jala mas, mas je'put, kepor lekor, sate, pengat pisang, talam keledek, puding tapai..peh! umi..i cant stop sayinghow much i appreciate what u have done..itz not the food, but ur kasih sayang tht make me realise, much u love me..and of course i love u more=)

nway last nite we were having salmon steak and sirlion steak which i marinated tht noon..the salmon bit less fresh compare to Oz as the meat is bit pale rather than pink or red..while as i forgot to put some pure cream/ yogurt in the marinate, the steak come out less tender or perhaps bit chewy..huhuuh!! but its fun doh!! 'masak2' wif ummi @ dapur..

this is Snake fruit, or in Malay it called Salak (but actually some foreign country called it Salak aswell) or it scientific name Calamus zalacca..my father bought it yesterday at Merapuh, border of Kuala Lipis and Kelantan..itz been a while i havent sunk my teeth on this sweet yet bit acidic exotic fruit..itz texture bit like apple where its combination of crumbly, moist and crunchy..nyums!! it taste like unripe apple or perhaps banana with bit of "kelat" taste and hint of sweetness at the end..thts so unique!! huhu!!

MErapuh Salak is known for its taste and quality which put it on par or perhaps better than "Gula Pasir" - Indo Salak..well for me..as long itz not tht sour..MAsyuk!! huhuhu!!

notice itz reddish-brown scaly skin which gain itz name..careful!! it bit sharp which can sumtime cut ur skin...

P/s: Too bad now itz not Durian season..if not..i might overnite @ my dadkebun waiting for the Durian to gugur..huhuhu
