AWAY FROM HOME

THE FAMILY
AS SALAM

RECENTLY WE WERE AWAY DURING THE EARLY PART OF THE WEEK. OFF TO PERAK TO SEE ONE OF MY SON COMPETING IN THE SPORT EXCEL GAMES. GOLF.

WE STAYED IN A PLACE  NEARBY TO WHERE  HE PLAYED. THE WEATHER WAS HOT IN THE MORNING AND RAINING HEAVILY IN THE EVENING. AND DRIZZLED THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT.

THIS WAS SORT OF A FAMILY OUTING. I BROUGHT ALONG MY YOUNGER NIECES JUST TO GIVE THEM SOME FUN FROM WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN DOING LATELY.

FOOD WAS SO GOOD. WE HAD LUNCH AT A PLACE WHERE THEY HAD LOTS OF BBQ FISH AND LOTS MORE. AT THE SAME TIME WE BROUGHT ALONG OUR OWN FOOD, RICE COOKER, PORTABLE STOVE....ETC. THIS IS JUST EXTRA JUST INCASE WE NEED TO COOK AND EAT AT OUR OWN LEISURE.

I HAPPEN TO STOP OVER AT ONE OF THE GAS STATION TO LOOK FOR SOME LIGHT REFRESHMENTS AND GUESS WHAT I FOUND. THEY SERVED  SET BREAKFAST, WAFFLES,
WHERE WE WENT
EGG ON TOAST AND MORE. ...AND I REALLY NEED THAT BREAKFAST! ( I  MISSED TAKING AN EARLY ONE  BECAUSE  I WANT TO FOLLOW MY SON'S GAME FLIGHT THAT MORNING.)





BREAKFAST AT THE GAS STATION!

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
