From My Kids

March 2008, we when for a holiday in Bandar Bersejarah Melaka. Having a lot of fun in the city. Having a very good lunch in a very nice restaurant. Imagine 6 kids from 7 to 15 jumping, laughing and enjoying the trip. After filled up our stomach with seafood steamboat, we when for windows shopping. Tired of windows shooping, we walked out to the hotel. Later I saw my wife running like hell. During that time I still did not  realised, one of the member gone missing. I asked  one of my  daughter, “What has happened?”.  She said, “Ain tak ada (Ain gone missing)”.

I relief myself, when I saw my wife walking towards us with Ain. Phew! I will never let this thing happen again.

Today, Muslim around the world are celebrating Iedul Fitri after fasting for a month.

I received a lot of short messages since yesterday. Below is one of the message wrote in Javanesse.

Crocodile hunter nyekeli boyo,
endas singo tugu singapuro,
kulo sekeluargo ucapne selamat hari royo,
keluputan seng ahkeh-ahkeh dingapuro.

Godong kupat janor kelopo,
mangan jenang karo silo,
baju royo mu werno opo?,
ojo madani langsir kulo.

Baju ne kuning sempen ni ijo,
sarapan gemblong tutulle koyo,
seng okeh eleng nyowo anak bojo,
ati-ati nek mandu neng dalan royo.

Selamat Hari Raya,
Maaf Zahir & Batin

My kids love spaghetti more than they like rice. This must have something to do during my pregnancy period. I love to eat Deli’s food such as spaghetti, lasagne, mushroom soup and lamb chop. I’m getting good making all those dishes and I’m proud to say that sometimes mine is better that the one that they serve at the restaurant.

Funny thing is my mother in law also know how to make the dish and she’s very good at it. She learn how to do it because she knows all the grandchild love it.

For those who like to make homemade spaghetti, you can follow my recipie.

4 clove of garlic

8 tomato (large size)

4 white onion (normally the amount of onion should be the same with the tomato)

1 stick of Ramly burger mince meet (500 grams)

1 can button mushroom

1 small can tomato puree

1 tblspoon oregano

2 pieces of bay leaves

I packet of spaghetti

Method:

Chop the garlic. Dice the tomato and the onion. Slice the mushroom. Pour oil into the pan/wok enough to cover the onion. Fry the onion and garlic until tender. Put in the mince meet, make sure that it separated . After 2 minutes, put in the dice tomato, slice mushroom and tomato puree. Let the sauce simmer until the tomato is tender for at least 20 minutes. Add a little bit of sugar to get rid of the acidic taste of the tomato. Lastly, put in oregano, bay leave, salt and black pepper for taste. DON”T forget to boil the spaghetti. And make sure it al dante and not to soft. GOOD LUCK!!!!!
