The Sights of Malaysian Food

It happened yesterday...I was in the kitchen cooking...n I heard this sound..somebody was vomitting in the bathroom... It couldnt have been baddin coz he was playing in the living room..Hatice was in school..so it must be Saime... Thru the bathroom door... i asked her..

Simah: *Iyi mısın?* (r u alright?)
Saime: still coughing n vomitting
Simah : *koku sana mı dokunuyor?* (is the smell bothering u?)

Saime: *galiba* (perhaps)


I laughed silently...while spraying *oust* (air freshner) all over the house..


THAT smell my friend was the smell of me cooking the sambal ikan bilis!!! hahahahahahaahaha..see i told u türks cant take our food smell much...but then it serves me right..i was trying to sakat everybody with the turkish cooking..n i was the one yg kena sakat heheheh..

there i was browsing thru several blogs.. n i saw this roti jala made by lollies...i remember the recipe in syikin's recipe blog... after *celup*ing the recipe (thanks syikin).. i had a go... i was not good in *menjala* the roti jala.. (hey! it was my first time trying cooking it ever..)...the shape was there though... made minced meat dhall as the sauce...(halil liked it)..though i wished i had made the curry sauce..but there was no chunk meat or chicken..so i had to do with dhall..n then called my mom to ask her her recipe of sambal ikan bilis..(ala mak..mana nak cari asam keping or asam jawa?? so i squeezed the orange n greyfruit instead hehehehe..iskh kurang asam...lemon sikit..:0)..tibaii)....and started cooking....the smell heheheh memang menusuk hidung.. i bet the whole apartment were cursing me heheheheheh...

The ikan bilis tuned out totally overly pedas...(so i will have to eat it bit by bit).. still not so bad... at least for my standard since i dunno how to cook Malaysian food... still i try..masak tak susah..kena practice aja la..betul tak kengkawan bloggers? by the way.. 2 days ago i cooked tane tane ..butir butir pilav! yeay!!!!..bravo to myself..


This time i dont plan to menyakat anyone...these pictures r for my own benefit...so if ur posa *kurus*..it will be no fault of mine *chuckles*....some of the food i would like to see for my own benefit..:0) If u r not a Malaysian.. enjoy the sights! if u r a Malaysian...these r the things i would ask my mom to cook the next time i see her (or she will just probably buy them from pasar malam......Enjoy!

Simah ... macam orang mengidam!!

I love daging masak hitam too. Last night buat ayam masak hitam sebab daging tak ada. Nak tahu my recipe? Hahahaha, I buy premixed paste - but this is homemade and it tastes very authentic!! All I need to do is add santan & salt. Sedap nyum nyum nyum. The same lady also sells all kinds of premixed spices - senanglah raya nanti (or whenever)I nak buat rendang tok, rendang minang, rendang padang, masak merah, pesamah, mee rebus, laksa johor, daging dendeng, laksa asam, soto, satay, asam pedas, prawn mee, curry mee, mee bandung, green curry, etc etc. HEHEH, saja ak torture Simah .....

Sensitivenya hidung orang Turkey! I am usually okay with foreign foods asal tak meloyakan ...

Queen of the House

sakat jangan tak sakat akak.. ..saya dah biasa tertorture so no hal kalau akak nak sakat :0)

*chuckles*..i teringin nak mengidam lepas balik mesia *wink*..kalau Allah izinkan lah ..tak nak mengidam lagi...*wink*

Akak..if i go back to Malaysia one day insyaAllah...we will have to meet so that u can introduce me to ur premixed paste seller!! nak borong banyak banyak...bawak balik pi turki n letak dlm freezer so that it will last long...

my brother dulu ada poskan pre mixed paste..(maggi brand kot).. n memang berguna....bila kempunan..saya masak tu..dia siap pos kunyit serbuk lagi...hehehe..sweet sweet brother..i am still treasuring the asam mo far kor yg dia hantar dulu..

hidung orang turki memang sensitif..tu depa tak bau belcan lagi... ari tu bau dodol durian pun depa loya.. saya tak tau la if it is general.. tapi zaim family n those around me depa memang tak tahan bau makanan kita..cuma halil yg dah terbiasa sikit..

Hehehe SImah, bayangkan kalau Simah goreng ikan pekasam, mahunya pengsan satu apartment building tu kot!!

My SIL gets the pastes from a friend of hers. They are sold frozen and have to be kept frozen sebab rempah ni jenis basah, not dried serbuk. Kaow betul ..... terasa serat serai lengkuas semua. Insyaalah nanti Simah boleh try ....

psssst ... bila nak balik?

QOTH the paste queen! hehehe. dulu pun my mom ada bawakan prepacked paste tu. Boleh tahan jugak lah. tapi tak tahulah same company or not.

For my emergency use, i keep Brahim's Masak lemak cili api and Masak asam pedas. tu guna kalau betul2 desperate je. (sayang wooo mahal and precious) tapi sedaplah bagi tekak saya.

Simah... saya mahu ketam!!! ketam oh ketam!!!

Hi Simah,

I visited your sometime before but had to go in hurry and did not manage to leave a note, till just now. Thanks for your visit to my blog dear.

I enjoyed the piece on your daughter, Hatice in School and am already in love with her. I love little girls as I do not have any, but blessed with wonderful nieces.

Boy yummy dishes on your blog. I think the Turks have european taste buds..so sambals and belacans take a lot of doing on their part..ha ha.

Have a nice berbuka puasa with your family.

Wah...different sunggguhnya rupanya Turkish ni ye.
Teringat cerita my sis tumbuk sambal belacan guna lesung (students mmg siap angkut lesung & kuali dari Mesia) di Cairo -
datanglah mak Arab complaint - nak kasi runtuh bangunan ka?
Tahniah with your pilav! And sambal..so what's next? Heheheh
