Old Wishes Became New Hobby.

it has been 2 weeks i have kept myself busy at the kitchen. slowly but steady. the keyword is 'Just Do It', if borrowed from Nike's campaign. or i wud simply said and told myself "antam saja lah Labu ..".

the one dish that i proudly smile once it was served on the table is Puding Roti Coklat. :) hehehehe. thanks to budak bulat or cik Yatt for your assistance. berjayo gak den buek mondo kegemaran den ni. i always like this dish. everytime i go to Concorde Hotel coffee house in Shah Alam i wud be having its puding roti. but its was baked. mine was prepared by 'kukus' or steaming. too bad i don have the oven. if only i have it .... macam2 roti akan aku bake! next time wanna try cik yatt's punya style plak. just for the sake of seeing and doing it differently. yes, i have to agree with cik yatt, it wud be puding roti agar2. the seken time i baked it, its get better. but next time, probably tonite, it will be better and perfect :)). touch wood! been trying to upload the pictures few time but somehow cudn't do it. something wrong with my koneksi kut.

a few other dishes i have prepared actually. started with sup ayam. then sup ikan. then mee sup served to my fren and his wife that coming over to my house. them macam2 jenis sup including sup daging either with halia or without. latest ujikaji was ikan tenggiri goreng halia. while fried it with 'minyak bijan' bau nya enak sekali. but like all the other dishes that i prepared, i never actually sit and enjoyed them. except for the puding roti off course. tu pun a few bites only. how they all taste? so far my kids not complaining but complimenting. tak tahu lah kut they all saja nak suck up their father :) ekekekeke.

the best part is just like my mottoo, i just 'antam aje'. the puding roti for example. i asked and checked on various recipe and method how to do it. got them jotted down but i left it at my office. then i went to my office to get the recipe. only to leave my office empty handed, forgot to take it. once sampai rumah i just get busy at the kitchen. it was almost 1 am. then i started with all the ingredients. based on what i cud remember. but somehow while i mixed the egg with the sugar than with marjerine with a pinch of salt i knew i forgot one major ingredients. while slowly i stirred the mixture i tried to recall what it is. bingo! it was vanilla essence! phew ... kalo tak ingat mampuih tak shedap puding roti tu :)). by almost 2 am everything was done. slowly i whisked myself to bedroom. it was time for another hobby.

later i'll see how to cook japanese style. this is my long wishes actually. somehow i kinda like the japanese dishes. probably because the way the prepare and serve them.

but before that i must master the local basic dishes. next stop is ayam or ikan goreng berlada. but this evening probably daging goreng lada hitam. macam makcik-makcik yang memasak kat rumah tu i have to go and shop for the ingredients. after lepak kat kedai mamak petang ni i probably have to go to the Giant. kalo ada makcik2 yang frenly kat situ nanti boleh la den ringan2 kan mulut tanya petua barang sepatah dua. yang tak best nya bila they all jawab "ntah la ... saya pun tak reti sangat nak buat nya ..." like what the kakak Kedai Tani tu jawab when i asked her what else need to be used for the mee sup. ampeh je ....

note : later i'll post the pictures of puding rotu coklat tu. i got the 'blender' ready at home. next picture of puding roti would be a lot better. this i guarantee.
