AS SALAM,

...AND OFF TO WHERE THE HEART BRINGS. ITS ALWAYS AN IMPROMPTU AFFAIR FOR THIS FAMILY. YOU CAN SAY, IT'S A LUCKY DAY SHOULD EVERYONE HAVE DECIDED A DAY EARLIER.

LIKE TODAY, DECISION TIME IS  APPROX 8:00am!

AFTER THAT, EVERYONE ABOUT 12 OF US SCATTERED ALL OVER THE HOUSE GETTING READY...3 BATHROOMS FULL ALL OF A SUDDEN, A FEW TO THE IRONING BOARD,  THE REST TO THE KITCHEN....KNIVES, SPOONS, STOVE, SALT, SAUCE , PEPPER, FISH, TURKEY , MAGGI MEE, POTS, GRILLER PAN, DISP PLATE & CUPS ALL PACKED INTO BASKET. ONE IS MAKING FRIED RICE, ANOTHER FRYING BREADED CHICKEN, AND ANOTHER TUMBUK SAMBAL BELACAN....

..AND YOU CAN HEAR CHAOS AMONG THE CHILDREN ASKING EACH OTHER OR RATHER TELLING ABOUT WHAT TOWEL TO BRING , SHOULD I BRING EXTRA SHIRT..WHAT IF I DON'T GET INTO THE RIVER, SHOULD I BRING MY SHORTS, INSTEAD, JUST INCASE...AND ONE EVEN SAID "DON'T FORGET YOUR PLASTIC BAG " THAT IS TO PUT WET CLOTHES AFTER BATHING IN THE RIVER!!!

MY FAMILY GOT THEMSELVES WELL PREPARED THAT DAY. SO AT 11HRS EVERYONE IS INSIDE 3 CARS AND OFF WE GO.... I AM PROUD OF THEM!
 JUST LOOK AT WHAT WE HAVE BROUGHT ALONG FOR THE PICNIC....FANTASTIC...

UNPACKING FOOD

...........FUNNY.!  WE START TO EAT AND HALFWAY THROUGH ,WE REALIZE WE FORGOT TO BRING OUR DRINKING WATER !!!!!!SO, UNCLE WENT TO THE NEAREST SHOP ABOUT 15 MINUTES AWAY FROM PICNIC AREA TO SAVE THE DAY!

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
