Weekenders

How was your weekend? Ehe, I know it's kind of late to ask but I'm still asking.Hehe.


Did you get to berbuka with the people that you want? Me..humm..I even get to berbuka with my big families as in grandma and aunties. Is that good or bad? Dunno.


So what did they cook for the family-session berbuka? Roti jala, seri muka, murtabak and few other appetizers [appetizers ke? Entah]. After maghrib prayer we ate nasi with masak lomak ikan, toghong bolado, kubis and err..ayam mawi [yeah, my aunt my up a recipe for her love of mawi]. Despite those mouth watering dishes, there's one dish that really make my cornea bigger. Kuih jongkong.

Haha, yes, the nama is a bit keji but the taste is..uhhhh..Ag told me that the kuih tasted like tepung pelita but noooooooooo, it does not taste like tepung pelita. Hmm.I swear I can see him making faces while reading this entry. Bukan..dia tak rasa macam tepung pelita ok.


Actually it's a sweet dessert. The green thingy is made from tepung beras and the kuah is made from gula melaka. The taste? Swoon. Kuih jongkong can only be found during fasting month. Am not sure whether it's available elsewhere but one thing for sure, because of this, Hulu Langat rawks!


Anyway, on Sunday we went to OU since I haven't get my Raya shopping done. We picked Mark's cafe even though OU is surrounded by lots of salivating shop because ag feel like eating curry laksa. Even though we had our meal for berbuka, later on he suddenly feel like mengembalikan kenangan semasa silam. So we ate at this supposed-to-be-kopitiam hut in jusco. That place also sell yik mun's pau. Dia ni, kalau aku ajak makan pasta kat stall seblah pon, mesti nak order pau kaya yik mun jugak, tak paham aku. Besides that pau, he had roti kahwin [ keji kan nama] and hainan kopi o. The roti kahwin, bapak sedap ok, the mentega were all fat that when u bite the roti, they crammed into your mouth with hot buttery feeling. Now, I don't drink coffee be it Colombian, Brazilian or even if Tom Ford made the coffee himself because.. I just don't drink coffee.

Kopi o and roti kahwin

ala..tak nampak asap dia :(

But...can I say no to that aroma, the smell of my late grandma during every evening? The noise of crickets and the taste of hot ubi kayu? No, I can't. Despite being a coffee hater I had a sip, Ok, I lied, I had few sips. The taste..remind me of my childhood years, the time when my mom forbid us to main senja-senja coz there will be hantu tetek and momok, the time when I laughed after seeing my late grandma without his false teeth.It tasted like sweet memories.


But..inside the car..I had the usual-coffee-drinking-stomach-ache..


Huh.
