Capati Kuah Sardin

Kuah sardin 

For Breakfast


Sardin!!! dah ada..cuma idea nak masak belum ada... kalau makan capati berkuahkan sardin...woish sedap jugak. Oklah ..breakfast kita cuba buat capati, yang buat nya bukan saya tapi sepupu-sepupu saya, mereka ni memang gemar mencuba memasak beranika jenis masakan, saya cuma membantu sekadar yang perlu. Tapi kalau saya yang masak,,,tepi!! tepi...dapur saya yang control. Apa yang kita perlu sekarang doh capati seperti di bawah. Kalau anda payah sangat nak cari bekas yang rata untuk uli doh, guna saja belakang talam seperti yang kami buat tapi bersihkan dulu ye..:)




















Kanak-kanak kena cuba dulu, kalau banyak mereka makan ertinya sedaplah capati yang dimasak. Tengok dari air muka , nampak gayanya sedap.  Makan pula dengan air kopi tongkat ali!!! Saya sendiri makan 4 , kalau boleh nak lebih

Morning Market


What a re we going to do today??? well I was wondering if  you are interested to know about Nat  - it's a Thai word for Pasar Sehari  / morning market ) and it' s only takes about 4 minutes from my village. Morning market  operates on Sunday, started early in the morning and finish around 12.00 in the afternoon . Well..there are so many things that you can find here, people from other village also comes here to buy  fruits, fish, vegetables, traditional food (kuih) , clothes and as for me I love to buy ULAM . WHAT IS ULAM ? Looks like I have to answer the question by myself :- Ulam is a type of vegetable dish that is consumed fresh and raw . It is eaten with rice and other dishes as an appetizer and ulam is high in vitamin and minerals and it has anti bacterial and anti oxidant properties.






Petai
My Favourite Ulam Petai...nyum nyum!!!..You can eat raw or cook , its all up to you. Its contains extremely high potassium yet low in salt, making it perfect to those who have a blood pressure. Petai also high in fiber and it helps to restore normal bowel action. Just don't eat to much or you may end up in the rest room for a very long hours..:-)



Peria Katak (BitterGourd / Bitter Melon )

Soursop  (Durian Belanda) 



Soursop flesh is white, soft and very juicy and has a delicous sweet sour taste. Embedded in the flesh are a large number of dark brown seeds.When nearly ripe, the fruit will have to be picked because if it's allowed to fall, it will be smashed. It will take a few days to fully ripen. 
well well durian durian!!! some people love it and some people dont' and I am sorry to say that I am not durian's fan ....but  I might consider eating durian with glutinous rice , steamed with coconut milk and served with ripened durian. Anyway  I would rather choose durian jam  to be eaten with bread or with glutinous rice, because the smell of durian is not so strong when we make it as a jam. 

HOW TO MAKE DURIAN JAM

1 cup of sugar
2 cups of coconut milk
Enough pulp ( ripened durian flesh)
2 pandan leaves ( tied )
Salt to taste

Combine all ingredients in saucepan and cook over moderate heat until it thickens. Eat with glutinous rice or bread.


Pandan Leaves






About Pandan Leaves 

Pandan is a type of plant that grows in tropical areas of Asia. Pandan leaves have a sweet, unique flavour to enhance both desserts and savory dishes and its being used in many Malaysian foods and desserts. 


                                                         
In this market you can also find species of marine life such as king crab (horseshoe crab) , this animal is a marine arthropod body shape similar to the steelhelmet troops and has a long tail and sharp and they also have an amazing immune system. Only certain parts can be eaten and those who really knows how to cook can prepare the dishes because its can somehow provide the sense of discomfort (dizziness). Some people say that the belangkas or horseshoe eggs is delicious. I have tried once but i could never tell how its taste like because i was very young at that time. So How does it taste Like?? Does anyone know??

siput mentarang
If you are seashells lover. you must try the siput mentarang, masak lemak cili api or you just wash mentarang thoroughly, boil some water in a pot, adding some onion, lemon grass, chillies, a bit of salt and cook for about 15 to 20 minutes or until the skins open and say hey i am ready...just kidding.


















Kuih muih tradisional dan makanan tradisional juga ada di sini sperti kuih talam keladi, bengkang ubi (bingka ubi), kuih keria, bahulu, lemang, emping jagung, emping ubi, macam-macam ada . Cuma perutnya terlalu kecik nak masukkan semua makanan tersebut. Sekarang bila usia semakin meningkat, permakanan kena juga jaga.Malaysia kita memang terkenal dengan beranika jenis kuih muih, semuanya sedap . Selalunya yang sedap mengundang padah, jangan salahkan pada kuih pulak, salahkan diri sendiri, bila makan lupa tempat berpijak, tau tau dah habis sampai lupa orang belakang.

Kemana Kita Hari Ini??

Selepas penat bershopping di Padang Besar , kami pun bertolak balik. Dalam perjalanan , teringin pulak nak makan jagung.





Rancangan seterusnya hariini nak main bowling di C-Mart Changloon. Kami sampai di sana lebih kurang pukul 1.15 t.hari, cari surau dulu , lepas solat zohor baru boleh main puas-puas. Pertama kali main kat sini, kalau tak silap cuma ada 13 lane, manually control. Kami cuma main 1 game sebab sudah ada perancangan lain, nak mandi kolam tapi apakan daya kolam renang sudah ada orang yang booking jadi kami singgah makan laksa  berhadapan dengan Politeknik Syed Sirajuddin sebelum pulang.




Laksa special RM2.50 sepinggan 





Pada  sebelah malamnya pula  , saya mengerah tenaga kerja sepupu untuk keluar mengambil gambar pemandangan waktu  malam. Lokasi yang terlibat ialah Pauh, Kangar dan Kuala Perlis. Selesai solat Ishak kami pun bertolak....
