Sekembalinye ke dapur..

It's been a long 2 weeks since i haven't had the chance to hold a knife or a spatula. as most of you would've probably figured, i just arrived safely from the Holy Land 2 days back, and ever since i've been terribly jetlagged. bila malam tak mengantuk, bila siang tido mcm kelawar tak hengat dunia. hahahaa..well, it's been a while since i travel long distance ni, so i guess i might have lost the touch quite a bit ;P. nak pulak masa smpai2 je msia hari tu, dan2 tu jugak i terus rasa nak demam..sorethroat, batuk, selesema sumer dtg at one go. mmg perfect timing la since i mmg doa kat sana spy kesihatan baik until i keluar dr tanah suci tu..


Although my biological clock is altered, tgn ni rasa gatal sgt nkmasuk dapur. the day we got home of course la we all tak larat nak masak, so my sister bought us food from the bazaar je. on the second day, mommy and i cooked jugak..but simple dishes je, since my dad dah kepingin sgt nak makan home-cooked meals. maklumla masa kat Tanah Suci tu our food were catered by Indonesians, so their style of cooking was a bit different la..sayur segar takde sgt, almaklumla kat tgh2 gurun sana mana ada sayur hijau kan..plus masakan dorg tak pedas, so takde kick sgt la..tu yg balik2 je msia terus carik cili padi buat ulam je you! :D


since semalam tekak tak rasa best sgt, i rasa mcm nak makan sup2 ni..tetibe terpk nak buat bakso daging plak..huhu..mungkin sbb hari tu kat Mekah our Indonesian caterer tu ade masakkan bakso daging, rase sedap plak..plus dah lama gila tak makan bakso ni..so i pun korek lah resipi bakso daging drp sifoo cik mat gebu..hehehe. tp rempah sup tu i just pakai instant soto nye paste je..mintak maap cik mat sy terpaksa menderhaka lagi kali ni :P ape pun tak kesah la, asalkan dpt gak bersilat kat dapur smlm. rase gumbira tak terkata. :D hehee


bakso daging with meehoon.


my sister yg dulu blaja kat Indonesia kata my bakso tak berapa original mcm Indonesian punye (caitt sempat lg die mengomen tu!hmphh). she said kalo org Indon betul2, daging bakso tu lebih byk tepung drp daging. mcm i punye tu, i sgt la generous bubuh byk daging and sikit je tepung. lagi satu Indonesian slalu pakai mee mcm mee maggi tu..tp i tak bape suke la kalo pakai mee maggi, dulu masa mula2 belajar mkn bakso kat Kedah org kedai tu hidang bakso dgn mihun..so i pun pakai je la mihun. ok gak pe :D



lagi satu abnormality nye bakso yg i buat ni, cube u folks tgk, ada begedil kentang tgh berenang2 dlm sup bakso i tuh! hahaahaha..mmg penderhaka betul i ni kan? ;P



ni lak sambal cili kicap as pencicah. baru ade 'kick' pedas2 ni ;)

ni gmbr bakso daging i tgh beratur elok2 lepas digentel & sebelum di rendam dlm broth nye.

haaa..ni plak gmbr mashed potato yg i steamed for 15 minutes - then added chopped red chillies and chinese celery to it. also i sprinkled some black + white pepper. dulu i used to have problems with begedil yg asek relai/pecah je bila digoreng. tp kali ni tidak lagi!!! :D nak tau rahsia dia? alaa...ni ramai org pun tau kot..huhu..rahsia utk begedil yg cantik & tak relai simple je : just add an egg yolk and about a spoonful and a half of wheat flour to the mashed potato.

...maka jadi la begedil i cantik molek mcm ni :P :-

takla lawa sgt..tapi ok la kan, atleast tak relai masa goreng.byk dpt begedil ni smlm sbb i gentel kecik2 je, ala2 bite-sized gitu ;)

haha ni sj je i nak tunjuk konon betapa lembutnye isi begedil i tu ;P.

pastu kan..ni i nak cerita ni..isk2..masa i balik umrah hari tu, tgk2 ade surat ni menunggu i:

nak tau ke ni surat ape? hmm..ni surat dr Suruhanjaya Perkhidmatan Awam (SPA)..kiranya surat tawaran kerja utk i la..huwarghhhh...this officially means my holiday is coming to an end very very soon :(( sedih...and i'm sooo not ready to work like a mad dog!!!

semalam pulak ada registered letter signed to my name. we weren't at home at the time, so today kene pick up kat post office. berdebar2 gak ni, takut2 kalau2 tu surat utk panggil i pegi induction. induction ni slalunye all new doctors kene pegi berkursus for 1 week, then the following week terus lapor diri berkerja kat hospital yg dah di assigned kan. i hari tu saja je tangguh keje ni sbb nak pegi umrah, ingatkan dorg akan panggil induction lepas raya..tp ni mcm lain mcm je..haishh...doakan la registered letter i tu bukan surat induction ye kawan2. or else my life will officially end and i wont have time to blog nor cook anymore :((


Hmphh..all the more reason I have to start baking cookies starting today!!! Eeekkk!! (mmg takleh tido dah la lepas sahur after this...sob22..).

p.s: fellow bloggers, mintak tlg doakan i tak dipanggil utk induction before raya pls? tq!
