Apakah masakan pertama yang anda masak dan bilakah anda mula memasak?
Actually I can't remember. Would goreng ikan and goreng keropok be considered as masakan? Yang tu primary school dah kena buat but my guess, a full-fledged dish would be cucur bawang sebab when I was anak dara pingitan kat Assam Kumbang Taiping nun, my Mama selalu suruh buat teh and hidang whatever finger food yang ada or boleh masak kat dapur untuk her friends and my Opah's friends yang bertandang kat rumah and there was always someone coming especially dalam pukul 3 tu when it was so syok to take my afternoon nap. So kalau dah nampak kereta neighbours masuk gate jer, saya pun kena memulakan tugasan paksa rela itu and the easiest to be done in a jiffy would be cucur.Sapa yang menggalakkan anda masak…
Hmmm....at first cooking was a chore, and selalu kalau my Mama suruh masak, ada jer alasan...yang paling kuat is of course nak buat homework. But I suppose since I'm the only girl in the family, dari kecik dah kena tolong Mama/ Opah kupas bawang la, kukur kelapa la (ni paling saya tak suka ok), kopek ikan bilis la....maybe the interest sedar tak sedar melekat juga seeing that my Opah is a fabulous cook and she reigned as the Master Chef in our family for many-many years until her numerous strokes rendered her immobile and my Mama takes over. My regret is not compiling my Opah's recipes when she was in her heyday. The recipes are all in her head and she goes around cooking by agak2x and always the dishes would come out perfect. When she was well, I once asked her whether we can switch brains and she just laughed it off.
Masakan yang paling anda suka masak dan digemari orang2 kesayangan anda
If it were up to me and my kids, I like cooking western dishes, savoury and sweet dishes alike tapi hubby dearest is a Nasi Man....pening dia kalau tak dapat his daily dose of nasi such that the rice cooker is our constant companion kalau berjalan. Masak nasi dalam toilet pun jadi to avoid the smoke alarm being trigerred. Ada sekali tu tak ada plug point dalam toilet so berselimut la rice cooker tu with a wet towel while happily bubbling away.

There were always guests kan kakyong during those days. Makcik2 yg datang and our mums would say how terrible a perangai we are compared to other gadis kampung yg lain, haiyaa! But you were examplary coz I never saw you saying No to your mum or pulling a face.
ReplyDeleteYes, I wished we could have collected all the recipes from opah but at that time we were busy running away from the kitchen.
I love assam Kumbang for the land behind the house despite the millions of kerengge, the noise makngah made when pakngah was late at mowing the lawn and there were so much of grass to mow pun kan, the blue kitchen cabinets which sometimes goodies could be found hidden way back. There were always food coz there were always coooking done in that humble kitchen but what I love most of all is when we sit together at the big table eating and sulking when yeop always got the best part of everything. Benc! tau but that made the memory more memorable.
And now, having said that, it has become our time to take the lead in the kitchen departmentand behind you I stand helping the chef dishing out great comfort family food. See you at the next family reunion kakyong!
Ija...you make my heart ache for those wonderful carefree days. I used to kukor nyor and cabut kaki togeh, etc kat that patchy cement just outside the kitchen door while daydreaming bila la my knight in shining armour nak come rescue me. And when you guys come over yes how we enjoyed the berkelah bawah pokok rambutan, BBQ evenings or just plain sitting makan2x and gossiping kat meja dapur tu. Yes, we sulked when Opah always bagi Yeop choice parts and everything letak depan dia but I still love Yeop then despite that. Always tagging with him dari kecik. And goodies way back in the blue kitchen cabinet tu selalunya tempat Opah sorok. Sorok punya sorok kadang tu sampai berkulat!
ReplyDeleteYes, now it's our turn in dishing out the food. Adoihhhh....somehow Raya now is not as enjoyable as when we were kids. Mana tak nyer...now kena contend with the cooking and basuh pinggan especially kalau Bibik tak ikut balik. And I have got to turun padang 2 houses ok ie my Mama's and MIL. Ni la problem sama kampung..penat haihhh...lari sana sekejap, sini sekejap.
Anyway, so glad that we're one happy close-knit family albeit a kecoh one. Looking at how my Mama, aunties and uncles together take care of Opah, it warms my heart and hope that my children will also do the same for me when the time comes. We're more like bros and sistas than cousins. For this I thank Opah for providing the spirit and basis for the close relationship since we were small. I love you guys!
hahahha the thing is yeop never perasan pun all these things going on in front of him. He was always blurry and oblivious of his surrounding.
ReplyDeleteHe is still blurry kakyong, trust me.
wah kak Fina! I miss popiah basah. Nak try buat la. nom nom nom
ReplyDeleteZura...meh la dtg rumah weekend ni, rasa ada sebiji lagi sengkuang tu (kalau my hubby tak habiskan colek wth the kuah rojak la) which I bought dekat Chinese shop dekat Den Hague last week. Kat Hannover ni tak jumpa pulak. Boleh I buat another batch of popiah for you. Plus tekak ni macam nak makan mee kari, dah lama tak buat, so ingat nak buat weekend ni. Do buzz me kalau u want to drop by. You have my handy no. kan?
ReplyDeleteKak YOng, thank you so much for doing the tag. By the way Fasha baru je bangun dari pengsan sat tadi sebab ternampak popiah basah kesukaanku!! OMGGG!! I have been wanting to make this popiah but I don't know what has stopped me from doing so. Tengok Kak Yong buat terus bersemangat. Unfortunately takde lah pulak diorang jual sengkuang kat sini but I think I am going to substitute it with Kolrabi. Thank you kak Yong for sharing this wonderful recipe! Oh I saw the last entry when Jaja came over. Seronok tengok you all berjalan sakan!
ReplyDeleteTake care dear and kirim salam buat your beautiful kids and baik hati hubs!! HUGSSSS!!
Fasha...look at my latest posting. Towards the end of the posting Kak Yong ada bagi latest version of the popiah recipe which I've tweaked here and there, boleh dapat around 24 keping kulit popiah. Yer la....I think boleh kut substitute dengan kolrabi, dia pun ala-ala sengkuang kan? Hugssss kembali!
