kambing tonseng..i miss you

I pledge try to eat healthily

I need to, we need to.

But why is this "kambing tonseng" ( one of the yummiest food in Miri..for me la) haunting me..Lately, before i doozed-off, the menu would somehow "pop-up" in my mind..attracting me TO EAT THIS KAMBING TONSENG..or was it tongseng? can't remember.

rice with "kambing tonseng". teh tarik. :)

*Cholesterol* *Unwanted-fats*

Should i? should i not?

I just had a good dinner..which i think supports my wish of eating healthily..tomatoes as appertizer, and one big mug of milo + oats..not yummy i know.

will i be strong enough tomorrow?

la cucur bubuk

i do have allergies towards seafood, nuts, some spices..and i try as much to avoid eating/getting involved with all of them..its very very challenging.. TO NOT EAT!

there's this day sometime last week that one of my colleague "blanja" our section with one box of "cucur bubuk". Its musim "bubuk" now in Miri(bubuk is a small "udang" that people would use to make belacan, cencalok..). So, its the opportunity time to get fresh bubuk.

so my friends were being very nice..giving reminders.."x boley makan ni, nanti gatal"

so sad.

but dare to resist? its cucur with fresh bubuk/udang-kecik? of course..NOT! i gobbled a lot! :)
And...as usual i end up sneezing, and gatal-ness over my face..worth it anyway..hehe..it was soo yummy..

Ok, then there's this part...

A conversation with my friend..

Me: Jom try beli bubuk sendiri and buat cekodok sendiri nak?
Ecah: JOM!
Me: tapi tak pnah beli pon..pnah bli? Cana rupa bubuk ni? tadi dalam cekodok dia warna putih
Ecah: tak pnah beli jugak. warna dia pinky sket sblom masak kot.
Me: kita blasah jer la..x sabarnya nak beli

EXCITED!

So, after a few days, we tried our luck.

By just passing the stalls, we could smell the scent of bubuk already. Errr, not-very-nice-smell. Bought a few KILOS, and went back home. KILOS?? *tamaknyaa*

The smell made us so dizzy. I was driving, so i had no choice but to continue driving and babbling at the same time. My script: "the smell..the smell..busuknyerrrr..pening..pening..taknak beli bubuk dah"

We reached home, and was so hungry.

Thus, "projek pengurusan bubuk pun bermula". Our house on the other hand, turned to a house with the most-annoying-smell..grrrrrr.

We had to somehow ignore the smell anyway, project must still continue..(we must cook fast, to destroy the smell..thought it will work out..but NO, it didn't)

We made cucur/cekodok bubuk with levish amount of bubuk (aiyaa, cannot do business like this), some onions, no-egg (no stock at home, haha), a bit of curry powder, salt, and flour (nasib tepung ada). It turned out SOOOOO DELICIOUS!

Then, we made cencalok (kak ada's recipi)..

SOO KENYANG!

cucur bubuk, a jar of cencalok, chili sauce

On a good note, it was a fun experience..on the sad note, THE SMELL. i don't think i would like to go through the process again..maybe, the bubuk that we got might not be that fresh..oh well..first timer :)

Food-lover

I thank God for blessing me with such a big appetite, alhamdulillah.
I can eat almost everything (yg halal la)
Apa2 konsep pon boley. Western?ala-ala kampung?chinese?indian?instant?vegetarian?

But i prefer untuk makan secara meramu. Ape tu meramu?meramu ialah aktiviti makan sikit tu, sikit ni, sikut tu, sikit ni. campur2 segala macam sampai perut terkejut. macam konsep buffet ataupun pergi makan open house raya siapa2.

I really am a food-lover.

So today, alhamdulillah, i got the chance to meramu again @ Eastwood. Gembira. Too much of kambing inside me now

Nanti carita lagi pasal makanan
