Hari ni nak cerita masak2 sikit since auntie Fasha,kawan blogger mama from Stuggart yang ada dua boys paling cute tu tanya.Dia cakap kat Stuggart ada petai fresh..wahhh sungguh best stuggart..auntie Fasha ni pun "terrerist in the kitchen" jugak tau:)
Sebelum tu nak ceritalah sikit incident semalam yang ada kena mengena dengan masak ni.Mama kan masak tiap2 hari..selalunya sebelum balik petang mama turunlah cafe kat office tengok apa kueh yang ada beli kat uwan, kadang2 kalau ada lauk sedap belilah sejenis buat tambah lauk pagi yang dah masak. So semalam ni masa isi lauk rendang limpa dalam plastik ada pakcik guard tegur mama "bungkus lauk ke..kalau masak sendiri lagi cik abang sayang"...wahhh mesti pakcik ni ingat mama tak pernah masak ni..hmmm macam nak geram and geli hati jugak..hai cik abang semua kalau nak tunggu bini masak tiap2 hari baru nak sayang,tu namanya sayang tukang masak tu..baik kawin ngan tukang masak jer..sayang ni tak der syaratnya..itu konsep kasih sayang sejati..kita masak tu sebab sayang yang dah terbina dan dalam menjalankan tanggungjawab bersama..kalau itu jadi syarat susah lah,macam kita cakap "kalau cik abang beli gucci handbag tiap bulan lagi cik adik sayang..agaknya cik suami suka tak kalau kita letak syarat macam tu. Kalau sayang terletak atas syarat mesti masak,mesti cantik,mesti bagi duit banyak,mesti handsome,mesti berpengaruh susahlah jadinya sebab tu semua tu tak kekal..kalau semua syarat tu dah tak de ..maka hilanglah kasih sayang..ishhhh pakcik salah konsep berkasih sayang pakcik tu..haaa..kan dah bersyarah pulak mama haaa..haaa.
Buat pakcik guard kalau nak bini sayang gila habis-habisan cubalah pakcik masak sekali sekali..haaa ni recipe saya bagi ni cuba pakcik buat..wahhhh suka bini pakcik makan ni..petai ada enzym boleh kuruskan badan tau..selain buang angin dia lawaskan perut..mulut cik abang dan cik adik pun tambah wangi nanti:).
Okay lah habis membebel dah jom masak : GULAI KEPALA IKAN MASAK LEMAK CILIPADI BERPETAI.Gulai kampung ni bahan2 dia simple jer,bahan2 yang boleh dapat keliling rumah tapi secret dia lies in the method of cooking it..sebab tu zaman bebudak dulu bila pergi surau,setiap rumah bawak nasik dan lauk,kadang2 sampai ada 3,4 lauk yang sama,tapi mama masih carik gulai uwan..kenapa? lauk yang sama sedap dia berbeza..kat surau dia orang cakap "gulai acu minah sodap"..so mari belajar gulai acu minah ni.
BAHAN2
Sebijik kepala ikan merah or jenahak..kalau ikan merah ada dua type,satu jenis yang merah pudar tu keras..
Segenggam petai segar bugar yang meruntun perasaaan dan nafas anda.
8 atau 10 biji cilipadi kampung ikut ketahanan lidah..cili padi kampung adalah yang terbaik,rupa dia bulat dan bundar..cili yang banyak kat supermarket panjang2 tu kita panggil cili akar..tak berapa sedap dan pedas..bila nak masak elok campur yang merah dan hijau nanti colour kuah pun cantik.
Santan segar or packet..sebenarnya tak de beza..ada rahsia macam mana nak masak santan packet jadi macam santan segar.Santan segar kalau kita masak kuah jadi macam nampak bersinar2 ada sedikit minyak tu yang sedap and cantik..so kalau nak hasil macam tu sila baca di bawah lagi cara2nya.Sebiji kepala ikan guna sepeket santan or sebijik kelapa.
satu inci kunyit..pilihlah yang tua macam kat atas colour dia cantik..tak boleh terlebih kunyit selain ada bau..colour yang terlalu kuning pun tak menarik..colour sebenar masak lemak cili padi tak terlalu kuning..
Dua ulas bawang putih.
Dua ulas bawang merah.
2 ke 3 biji tomato..lebih enak kalau dapat camput tomato hijau dan merah untuk rasa masam2 sikit.
CARA2NYA.
Tumbuk cili padi dan kunyit dulu..petua untuk senang hancur taruk lebih garam sikit..bila dah hancur,masukkan bawang dan tumbuk lagi.Potong kepala ikan toskan,masuk ikan dan bahan tumbuk dalam periuk,hidupkan kan api dan gaul2 sampai kelaur bau wangi sedikit..kalau guna santan packet..masukkan santan dan jangan tambah air dulu..biar lama sikit sampai santan berminyak sikit dah tu baru tambah air,air pulak biarlah cukup untuk tenggelamkan ikan jer,tak boleh lebih.Belah petai dua,supaya aroma dia lebih menyerlah,masuk petai dalam gulai,biar mendidih,tambah garam dan satu asam keping,5 mins sebelum gulai diangkat masukkan tomato yang dah potong 4,biar masak kejap dan bergaul mesra dengan santan..kalau di masak dengan betuk dan penuh kasih sayang tak bersyarat,hasilnya.......
Gulai kepala ikan masak lemak cili padi berpetai acu minah yang paling sedap dalam dunia..heee..heeee..selamat mencuba..p/s kalau cik abang allergy petai..this recipe will not work:)
Where is this? Paris? La Chateau?
Bonjour..
Bienvenue...
This is mama's favourite pick :) We are cute? Merci,merci.The background : the girls were sick for the past one week,mama was exhausted to the maximum,both vommitted and purged throughout the days,we went hospital several times and adding to the long and tiring week one of family member had to go for operation. Earlier mama had booked 3 days 2 nites stay at Colmar, as everybody was exhausted and the girls had been laying in bed for week we decided to go for breakaway.After the had a slight improvement on Monday we went to Colmar, the stay was cut short to one nite but it was a good one,the girls were happy and that contributed to the speedy recovery.
Mama had been to colmar few times during single days,it was with uwan,maklang and kak ikin. The French Theme Place is a nice place if you appreciate French heritage and all it things. On Monday before heading to the Hotel we stopped at the Rabbit park at the feet of Bukit Tinggi,it was at 2.00pm and due to the Global warming it was really hot but the girls were okay,they were so happy to meet rabbits. 
Tia loves rabbit but Mia was a bit scared.
The kind tourist gave us their pet food so we gave it the rabbits.
It was hot but we had a good time
Tia non stopped complaining about the sands that get into her sandal..its okay mama obliged,as long as you feel happy.
They are lovely kan Tia..
It was a good start at Rabbit park,hopefully we will have more fun at Colmar.
We checked into one bedroom suite, all the blocks there are named after the French flower, ours was Gazania.The girls were busy checking the dressing table.
The bathroom was really french classic like the one you can find in old hotel in France.
Some of the furniture and lamp were imported from directly form France..well Berjaya Group got tons of money.
Mama loves their breakfast table..
Especially a detail like this which they have at the back of the chair.
The bedroom was painted in French linen colour,it was bright and cheerful.
The drapes were made from the heavy french material and Mia is checking the room to make sure it conforms to the French standard and the fee we have paid:)
After taking bath in the French bathtub we went down to have fun..
We went to see the swans, both had been reading ' The Ugly Duckling' book and mama been telling them that the ugly duckling is actually the swan's baby..now they want to look at the swan.
Yeah.. that's the swan.
We bought the bubble pistols and both had a very very good time with it..they really enjoyed it..so happy to see their smiling and laughing faces after a one difficult week.
We sat at the field next to the swimming pool..the weather was good.
Tia is having big smile on her face.
Colmar has wonderful blooms.
and they made best effort to ensure the garden look and feel like "France".
It was a fun evening..colouful and light,breezy and nice.
The typical french window with planter's box outside the window.
La Blason Resaturant has a very French feel.
After a good evening we went back to Gazania..and both were in happy mood,they continued with drawing at the breakfast table.
Mama loves this wall light, once you turn it on the french linen wall turned into olive green colour..it was beautiful.
The wooden bedside lamp is imported from France too.
By 9pm everybody already dreaming in the King size bed..luckily the bed is big enough to fit in 4 of us.
Petit de junour breakfast for petit girls at La Blason.
Nice place to have breakfast.
Wahh the picture is a bit spooky..like in the scary movie:) it was Tia at the fire place.
The girls at La Blason restaurant.
After we filled our tummies with food we are ready to have more fun. 
Sian the girls..they wanted the ducks in the pond behind them,the ducks were not for sale,kena play the fishing the duck game to win the soft toys..hmm mama tried several time tapi tak menang pun:(
Since the ground at colmar are all covered with cobble stones it is better to wear shoes than sandal.
This little French lady is ready to go through " an evening in Paris" 
The French man, with the French lady hat and two petit ladies:)
Having more fun at the bridge.
It was drizzling a bit but the girls degil tak nak wear hat.
met Mr Big bear lagi...
mama already broke so you just watch the bear okay girls..
The Colmar Tropicale.. a French lady living in a hot tropical country.
Pretending that we are at the train station in paris..waiting for our train to take us to London:)
Stopped for some reading at the information centre.
Finally we had a break in front of the stage waiting for the day performance..you are so cute here Tia
Mia is cute too..
Bye..see you in Paris next time:)
