TOURIST IN TOWN
 

THE SLEEPY TRAVELLER
 AS SALAM,
MY FAMILY I WERE JUST BACK FROM THE RAYA HOLS. MY FAMILIES BACK HOME WERE GREAT. MY KIDS AND I WENT OUT SHOPPING (AS IF THERE WERE MUCH TO SHOP !)  AND SIGHTSEEING. ACTUALLY, THERE'S NOT MUCH CHANGE AROUND BUT WE STILL HAVE FUN ACTING LIKE TOURISTS.

O/HOUSE AT MY MUM WAS GREAT. ALL MY SIBLINGS AND RELATIVES CAME FOR THE GET-TOGETHER. I THINK MY CHILDREN GOT CONFUSED AS TO WHO'S WHO COS SOME OF MY RELATIVES DIDN'T SHOW UP LAST YEAR BUT CAME THIS YEAR.

THE BEST PART IS STAYING OVER AT MY IN-LAW. MY CHILDREN GOT THEIR SHARE OF PREPARING FOR THE FIRST DAY OF RAYA AT A DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENT. EVERY YEAR WAS AT MY MUM'S. WE SHARED FIREWORKS WITH NEIGHBOURS AND THE KIDS SLEPT LATE. THE OLDER ONES SPENT THEIR TIME INSPECTING EVERY SHOPPING MALL IN TOWN(ONLY A FEW EXISTS, MAYBE ABOUT 3 OR 4,I GUESS). AND LATER TOWARDS THE END OF OUR STAY, THEY EVEN WENT FISHING OUTSIDE TOWN! MY ELDEST IS SOOOO CRAZY ABOUT FISHING THAT HE BROUGHT ALONG HIS OWN COLLECTION OF FISH RODS!
 NOW, WE ARE BACK TO OUR HOME AND TO WORK!...AND SCHOOL!
JUST LOOK AT ALL THE DELICACIES, THE FAVOURITES OF EVERY RAYA...
MORE STORIES TO COME.

AS SALAM, I WENT TO A PASAR MALAM NEARBY, JUST ABOUT 5 MINS DRIVE FROM HOME. AND OFTEN. THERE'S ONE TYPE OF FISH WHICH WE USUALLY FIND BACK IN THE KAMPUNG AND VERY RARE HERE. BUT THIS PASAR MALAM HAVE IT EVERY WEEK. WE COOK THIS FISH IN MANY WAYS. SOUP, FRIED DIPPED IN FLOUR, ASAM PEDAS KUNYIT. AND WE EVEN HAVE SALAI IKAN LUMEK. MY CHILDREN LOVE THIS MENU. THIS FISH LOOKS VULNERABLE WITH SOFT AND TRANSPARENT FLESH BUT TOUGH MIDDLE BONE AND SHARP UGLY TEETH, WHICH OF COURSE WE DON'T EAT. IF YOU FIND THIS FISH IN THE MARKET, DON'T HESITATE TO BUY. JUST FOLLOW THIS SIMPLE MENU: FOR 1 KG FRESH FISH, CUT THIN SLICES 3 RED ONIONS, 2 GARLICS CRUSH AND CHOPPED, THIN STRIPES OF ABOUT I THUMB OF GINGER, 1 CUBE CHIC STOCK. ALL FRIED TILL WANGI YELLOW AND POUR ABOUT 1 LIT WATER. ADD MORE IF YOU ARE A SOUP LOVER. WHEN SOUP IS BOILING ADD IN SALT & FLAVOR AND FISH. JUST AS SOUP IS ABOUT TO BOIL AGAIN ADD IN LADA PUTIH AND CHOPPED DAUN KETUMBAR/SUP/BWG. COVER POT AND SWITCH OF...
