Merapu

I went hot fix batu korea crazy today. Memula tu my colleagues started to pakai tudung jenis yg masuk sarung je with the awning..they were plain ones and these ladies decided to adorn their tudungs with those stones and what have you la. i thought i was too cool for it...until one day i decided to buy 2 of those tudungs, ingatkan nak buat pi pasar je (ceh kekwat nak mampus). Then i perasan yg muka i nampak kurus sikit and the beauty of tak yah iron tudung yg mesti di iron like tudung bawal tu, then awning yg sentiasa tegak tak terkepek like in cases when i put on scarves (how on earth people manage to have awning yg perfect with scarves pun tak tau la!) and not so panas as the leher is devoid of lilit2. Then i bought another 4, and another 4 hehe. Pas tu tengok plain nye pulak...i surfed the internet kot2 ada bebatu menarik dijual online...not so menarik since i can't picture what they look like. then i came across this mommy's blog who mentioned about this shop on Jln Tar..obviously la hati i digodek2, tak leh concentrate nak buat kerja, so tadi i pun pi la mengukur jalan tar berbekalkan tudung2 plain i. Had no clue where this shop was but i was determined...found it! And i was like monty kat pasar ikan. since i ni takde zarah seni langsung, i decided to upah the shop assistants to fix the stones for me...bila le pulak occasion nak memakai tudung i yg mengerlip2 ni. so over!

I made some fishballs earlier this evening. Anak2 i suka makan fishball..it's nearly their makanan ruji. Last week masa kat Car4, i scrutinised the packaging..mak datuk! Ada MSG you! No wonder le anak2 ku bots...(taknak ngaku keturunan nampaknya CIk Kiah ni). Then i remembered napa masa kitaorg kecik2 dulu fishball fishcake tak nah jejak rumah..mak i bising pasal MSG and pengawet semua tu la! My mum's like an honorary member of CAP. napa tak leh makan bubblegum? Colouring jawabnya. Napa tak leh makan vitagen? Colouring....(but i think it's our lack of coloured papers$$ yg lebih penyebabnya). Napa tak leh makan maggi? MSG. Napa tak leh makan kacang tumbuk? eii tak halal..napa tak leh main kalkitos? Takde pekdah! (hehe..ni dah keluar topic, i'm only explaining my lack of artistic talent gaya menampal). Anyway, back to the fishball, i pun google lah resepinya...what? ikan tenggiri, bit of salt, cornflour, water and muscles to uli..no sweat..i suka kerja2 menguli ni dan sangat2 terkenal dgn membuat doughnut, roti tanpa breadmaker hokay!

So went to the wet market after work (what work? kan aku ni tak berkeroje), got 2 tenggiri (tu dia, idakle nak bertesting dulu ngan anak tenggiri), had it sianged and filleted and ikutlah resepi bulat2. Bagai CK nak start mencarut you! Dari kul 7pm with break of one hour for prayers and mandi sampai kul 1030pm dough tu tak menjadi cam plastik seperti diwar2kan. Rasa cam nak gentel suap kat mulut bebudak bulu ni je. Then i thought, OKla, rebus je la dgn apa bentuk sekali pun..so i pun gentel la cam buat cekodok. walaupun i terlupa yg sebenarnya bila i gentel cekodok, bermacam ghope ada..kalau MIL namapak memang fail. Lama gak dok menggentel rasa cam nak buat ikut saiz penumbuk je, cepat sikit. i boiled them and tasted one..hish! rasa ikan betul! next time bila buat fishball lagi (errr...tahun depan ke) have to remember to buh banyak tepung..really hate the fishy taste..prefer the flour laden taste like those commercial ones.

Kenkadang i pikir, apsal la i have this urge to do things yg time consuming. For eg. i've tried making agar2 kering a few times, salted my own duck eggs and fish, have experimented with chicken eggs, make garbage enzyme and bedak sejuk. Sib baik la i tak suka dodol..kalau tak...next i teringin buat tapai pulak..recipe anyone??

Oh yeah i'm really into jering now. Please does anyone know khasiat jering?? I really want to know because nak counteract the mulut sentiasa rasa payau, kencing berbau and berat bertambah because makan nasik berpinggan2 dek ulam jering and sambal tempoyak. at least i can say, eating it ada khasiatnya. Btw, someone told me about how the taste of jering lagi best (not mentioning the bau yg lagi cam kencing kuda diperam) kalau dia ditanam dlm tanah. I did with a few..forgot about them, then last weekend i went digging..the act of digging itself is very fulfilling, rasa cam zaman caveman pulak. To peminat2 jering (Esah, it might be you!), yes, the taste is much better. Now am looking for some jering recipes, oi Cik Tijah oii..

OK la, ni dah cakap merapu sangat ni..
