2. put item 10 and cook until dry n beef soft
3. put item 7
4. followed by item 2 n cook until dry up

p/s: it's my 1st raya with hubby n baby (still inside - no need baju raya yet :)); next yr raya our theme colour will be pink (follow baby)...hihi boleh kan abg syg? ;)

nyum...nyum...

actually i'm desperate to write s'thing here since it's almost the end of june n i only hv 1 post so far for this month...soo lazy la me...well i'm so desperate that i don't know what to write actually n i decided to put up a recipe here...it's from my MIL...she's from noghori n i love this food sooo much (erkk cam x relevant je ;p) n i want to record this recipe somewhere so that i can cook it anytime i'm feel like eating it...if rajin la kan ;p anyways, here is the recipe for gulai tempoyak pucuk ubi...not really a gulai...maybe a very pekat gulai...hehe...

so the ingreients:
1. pucuk ubi
2. daun labu
3. daun kunyit
4. cili padi
5. ikan bilis
6. pati santan
7. tempoyak
8. sugar n salt secukup rasa
9. petai
10. serbuk kunyit/kunyit hidup

it's depend on u on how much to put for each ingredient...hehe kira everything is secukup rasa la...if u want more pedas then put more cili padi, if want more tempoyak then put a lt of them...but from my observation (ye saya hanyalah tukang observe pada waktu itu) the pucuk ubi is the most to be put (hence the title of the recipe la kan ;p)

so how u do it? it's very simple actually...i mean very very simple...just cut item 1,2,3 into very very small pieces...while u hv somebody to do that (hehe it's quite time consuming), u can tumbuk ikan bilis, kunyit hidup (no need if u use serbuk kunyit ;p) n cili padi n put in the kuali...then put all ur dauns n pucuks which had been cut into the kuali as well...followed by petai, pati santan n tempoyak...then turn on the gas n stir slowly until it's cooked...n don't forget ur sugar n salt...n that's it! ready to be served :)

for the moment i don't hv the pic...finished all already b4 thinking of taking a pic...see la if rajin next time i cook it, i'll try to remember to snap a pic n upload here k...the last time my MIL cooked it (well it's more like the first n last time for me as of now), that time i was still in miri...i came back for the weekend n she packed me one tupperware of that for me to be brought back to miri...n i ate them for 3 straight days without the feel of boringness of the dish...hihi niceeee...the memory brings back all the saliva in my mouth now...nyum...nyum! now wondering when again my MIL will cook it...hmm...

p/s: preggy update - now having a severe backache almost everytime, everywhere...but just enjoysss la kan :) oh n also sneezing n coughing are also accompanying me everytime, everywhere...anything for my baby :)
