RM15 project & Asam Pedas Talapia in Westham,London.


Hulooooo...aduhhhh sedapnya meniarap atas tilam sambil menaip kat lappy ni;) Hee..hee the two girls already tergolek on my left and right.We chit chat at the end of this entry ya:) 

Well today,we were camping at home from morning,papa had to finish his homework and it was really teruk until our best escapade today was a 1 hour trip to Pasar Taman Tun:) My request to go pasar seksyen 6 Shah Alam was turned down:(;( The man has to finish his homework..but Pasar TTDI is terribly expensive i finished my RM200 buying basic things for the fridge..except Ribbon&Cottontail food,balloons and bubbles for the small ladies.How i wish Cameron is near..broccolis,cauliflowers,tomatoes were so cheap there..here is like 'gourmet food'..The malay section is expensive too..i bought daun gajus,petai,jering emas,tempoyak,terung telunjuk,bunga kantan,serai,cencaluk,pucuk pegaga ..i think that's about all and it costed me RM41.00..cekik darah betul..anyway nak makan kan..tak boleh lah marah2 next time ada masa pergi seksyen 6 .My good buy was all the pound things,i bought cilipadi,kunyit,bawang putih,merah semua dah siap blend and it costed me RM10.00..this is good and it helped me masak cepat betul..you can whip a finger licking good masak lemak cilipadi in 10 mins or less..kid you not:):) p.s we met Munirah Triplets plus one at the pasar with her cute wonderful kids:):)


Less than 10 mins finger plus cheeks,chins and elbows licking good masak lemak ketam with tomato..heee..heee..dulu ramai yang tanya macam mana nak masak ketam santan tak curdle atau pecah.Ketam ni dia kalau masak banyak buih also banyak kandungan garam..so benda macam ikan masin,sawi jeruk kalau masak bersantan tak betul cara santan memang pecah dan tak cantik.To avoid it you can either cook the ketam with the bahan tumbuk (cilipadi,kunyit,bawang) first until buih dan air kering then baru masukkan santan or duduk lah tepi periuk tu kacau..jangan biarkan mendidih tanpa kacau.Kalau betul cara gulai ketam sangat sedap epecially kalau ketam segar dan manis.So uwan makan bertambah-tambah today.




Petang nak buat project sikit..Tia kena nose bleed pulak..then Mia lapar,so we had early dinner..i prepared fish,hash brown,buttercup salad and we had some french baquet and cheese too.It was a hot day today but the two nak makan kat luar so we had to eat at the bench under the tree.




Tia can eat salad ..she will dip in mayonnaise and eat it:)



We have all kind of dippings/seasonings just choose which one you like.


Gendang gendut tali kecapi,kenyang perut suka hati:)


Pokok cili kat garden pun dah masak betul ni..boleh lah petik..ni kita bagi tugasan kat uwan untuk petik.


After tea/dinner i started my little project..bukan apa pun mengganti alas rack kat wet kitchen..dulu kan kotak2..now munga2 pulak..i somehow like the 70s feel kat my wet kitchen..that explains the triangle shape alas;):) My old alas habislah koyak rabak dek Heni...dia cakap Tia/Mia tarik lah etc,etc..tak apalah time to ganti jugak.He..hee..my lesung batu ada 3 biji now  happily landing there:)


The table cloth is RM15 only, i bought from Romantika..balik i potong and beta-bega kan untuk alas rack..sedaplah tu my eyes;):)..wet kitchen kita kan..kejapkotak2,kejap munga2..asal hati senang;)


hulloooo..what are you doing? Yang ni kalau dengar i ketang ketung guna hammer and tool box dia..memang dia tak senang hati,so he came down and immediately been assigned a task by me;) Our wet kitchen tiny island/trolley kaki satu dah haus due to kena air basuh lantai selalu. I went to look for replacement at ikea..goshh it is expensive now..near RM600 for a tiny thing,the rest of our trolley still okay,cuba tak stable sebab kaki tempang sikit.  MY hb is a real corporate man..he is helpful kalau di suruh but he sometimes can't really figure out how to fix or do certain things. I somehow is quite handy since i was small selalu tengok my father buat reban ayam,kambing,bench,rack at our kitchen..so i am familiar with tools and i can design many things in my head;) So kaki trolley patah ni hubby susah jugak lah nak figure out how..i ada few wooden chopping board tak pakai kat kitchen sebab dah lama,so i asked him to cut the solid wood according to the trolley tu punya kaki and then lekatkan lah..he was skeptical first..tapi bila i nak buat dia cepat2 ambik alih..turned out to be effective..now dah okay and we jimat RM600 kan:):)


Setia menemani si papa;):)..kesian dua hari duduk rumah asyik kena leter suruh berkemas ajer..tiap 5 mins keluar pen,kertas..mestilah kena kemas balik;) 


Pisang emas harga emas beli kat pasar TTDI...so tak adalah pisang emas di bawa belayar sebab tak ada budi..dah mengata ngata kan;):)


RM7 napkin stand from Romantika D Amor..hee..he..Romantika ni tak class macam SSF,lower dari KK orang cakap..tapi i suka jugak pergi cari benda2 merepek..tadi i menung2 dah tengok tea set dia..cantik sebab teko besar..senang sikit nak hidang kat orang;)


Finally malam barulah dapat berehat..ni hb buatkan teh susu..tak kaw pun tak apa lah..yang penting ingatan;)


If i have time i do like to read..i like to repeat my favorite books.




I love to read traveling books from Insight Guides,i bought Lonely Planet,APA but i stilled prefer Discovery by Insight Guides.


Unlike many other women..i tak gila sangat membaca novel but i do love Kinsella..tapi "Remember Me" ni pun tak habis lagi.


and suka jugak membaca magazine kisah2 orang ni..ni macam baca blog orang jugak ni..dapat tengok anak,rumah,fesyen orang semua;):)


Ada orang tanya..suka and pandai memasak sejak bila?Entah i pun tak ingat..masa kecik2 dulu tak lah masak sangat..ni gambar 12 tahun dulu kat West Ham,London..masa ni jalan London-Paris with my friend Yatie..London we tumpang duduk kejap kat rumah her aunt..masa ni i dah suka masak:)Tengok tu kat dapur orang i bergumbira main pisau..we went to the market and i bought a red talapia,okra,bitter gourd,soft tofu,cuttlefish,belacan and mangga muda..dasat betul pasar kat west ham ni..kalah TTDI..heee..heee...balik i masak asam pedas talapia with okra,goreng bitter gourd,sambal sotong,steam soft beancurd with soy sauce and sambal belacan with mangga muda.


Auntie Yatie tengok food banyak dia pun panggil neighbor dia an African man and his late husband to makan..my lauk pulak masa tu pedas yarabbi..but sedap lah i guess until these two europeans makan hingga tak ingat.But kesian perut this mat salleh..tak tahan..pukul 3 pagi dia tak berenti pergi jamban..hee..hee..both me and yatie masa tu tidur on waterbed kat living room...we terkekeh kekeh ketawa..hee..heee..kenangan manis:) we tinggalkan our bags kat sini dan esok paginya we naik eurostain kat waterloo station 3 a.m excited gila nak pi Paris for first time masa tu;) duit tak berapa nak ada tapi happy;);) after 4 days in Paris..we balik London pi duduk Radisson SAS sebab big boss tak boleh duduk kena panggil balik Malaysia..apa lagi bilik best halaluya kita orang kat London:)


Huishhh terus teringat London..tapi dulu2 travel selalu January..so sejuk gilerrr:)..grrrr..grrrrr


Tapi yang paling best one day kalau ada duit pergi Disneyland Paris..masuk "Small World" terus jadi budak kecik..sangat seronok;);)


To AnnHuzi yang tanya i buat apa dengan bricks..actually i letak keliling the rabbit netting..supaya dia tak boleh sorong kepala dia untuk keluar..:) memang i buat kan area macam ni sebab kalau dalam cage kesian pulak dia dah tu very leceh nak bersihkan cage..macam ni kalau setakat nak balik kampung 1 or 2 days bawak maid pun  no problem..tinggalkan ajer extra food..settle.Also senang nak bersihkan tempat sebab kat atas tanah kan.Hanis tanya akar pokok ke kat belakang bunglo tu;):) hee..hee yeap akar pokok..suka pulak the rabbits nyorok kat belakang tu)


To Salmi yang tanya mana beli this emergency candle..i bought from a Hardware/DIY kat ground floor ikano,tak ingat pulak nama kedai tu.Tapi kat rack belakang bahagian camping,outdoor.It is priced at RM38 for two plus matches..nama jer candle tapi dalam bekas tu ada liquid and sumbu...after pakai simpan balik:)




budak ni happily lepak kat tilam atas lantai masa papa buat kerja..now dah tengah malam kan..tiba2 i ingat tadi suruh Heni rebus ketupat segera,esok i nak buat lontong..but i rasa dia tak buat..sebab dengar kat bawah senyap jer..so i turun bawah kejap tadi tengok ya lah semua orang dah masuk bilik masing2..so now i dah rebus the nasi impit kena tunggu masak lah pulak..nasib baik kampit kecik2 tu so not so bad:)

Dear Zu,

Gambar lama tu tak jauh beza pon dgn gambar sekarang...still sama slim nye. Zu, semalam i pon pon one whole day kat rumah. Homework anak nak di pantau, buku2 tuition nak dibalut. Anak i ni boy, so agak kurang berdikari bab wrapping buku ni nak kena ditolong jugak though dah sekolah darjah 3...then sepanjang hari mmg lah mengemas, mengelap,ironing...(kena buat semua lag A-Z since mmg i ni takde maid)...Lucky, husband prepared breakfast and lunch so dptlah i berkepak siapkan kerja2 lain..mcm u, i pon sgt suka dgn kerja2 rumah ni, mcm theraphy jugak to me. Boleh leka jadinye though badan penat..

fiezachommel said...

Salam Kak Zu,
Bestnya lontong.....

Nadiah said...

Zu,

Sekarang ni I prefer do marketing di Pasar segar depan rumah kita - tepi Vichudda restaurant.
Seafood and ayam dia memang fresh sangat and i found ada 2-3items barang kering dia cheapers than Giant or Cold Storage.Murahnya dalam 50-80cents.Vege pun banyak pilihan.
Tapi kalau you nak beli ulaman kampung I advise pergi satu gerai dekat sekolah Sek 6 closed to Surau.Memang banyak sayur2 kg dia jual kat situ.
I sudah sebulan tak pergi Pasar Taman Tun sebab susah nak dapat parking and mahal tapi tak dapat dinafikan ikan2 di Pasar Taman Tun memang fresh2.

Liney said...

hmmm.... sedap nyer gulai ketam... weekend ni harus cari ketam ni... hehe... thanks 4 the tips sbb kuah lemak ketam yg sy buat selalu berketul2 mcm letak telur... huhuhu

nae said...

Adusss...drooling tgk ketam masak lemak...my fav tu. I buat campur dgn nenas selalunya.
Pasar section 6 pun mahal juga...I pun spent almost Rm200 for one week supplies (inc fruits). Tapi takde all things blended gitu, except cili kering. Nasib baik ada grocery store near my place yg jual blended cili padi /serai/ lengkuas/halia/bawang semua tu..kalau tak terbantut juga acara masak express i :)

hOtMaMa said...
