today i'm left along at the clinic. all the other dentists are away. 1 already taken leave for Deepavali, and 3 others went for FYDO course. my specialist is at Hospital Kulim today and the other one is away in US. almost all appointments are canceled for the day...just left 4/5 appointments and i'm on standby for casualty cases. and while doing so, i'm free to browse internet the whole morning n update on all that matters to me.

my parents have gone to Mekah to perform their Hajj. it's been one week now that i'm left home alone. but my lil bro is at home in between his exam papers. i figured out that now is the best time for me to practise cooking. i basically know the theories but rarely do so.. as my mom is a housewife and i dont get the chance to cook (n refuse to do so) when she's around.

so lets see what i managed to cook in the past one week.

so for the first attempt mesti la start from the bottom, and simplest,
that is sardin. sardin from tin n the tomato sauce, add in
cabai mesin, bawang besar and cabai hidup. (org kedah use
cabai instead of cili ok) n eat with nasi putih n timun + salad
rasa ok, but should have been lighter, iaitu lebih berkuah
as my mom would do. now that i'm writing..baru teringat.
my mom will only masak sardin once in a blue moon, and
selalu serve with telur cabai bawang. y didnt i think of that
the other day?!

the next day i cooked this sayur air fo chu. slalu we pronounce
as sayur pucuk ja. when i bought the ingredients at tesco myself
baru tau yang sebenarnya ejaan ialah fo chu. n the campuran
include suun, bunga lili and cendawan kering. walaupun masak
tgk recipe yg amik dari mak...somehow it doesnt seen btl2 sedap.
huhu. and knp tah kuah dia jadi terlebih pekat. i think it's from
too much suun. maybe that's why selalunya mak x letak too much
suun walaupun i always ask her to put in extra!

my first attempt at ketam cabai. masak sekor saja ketam bcoz
takut x jadi. before this i've tried sotong masak cabai, but the
sambal x jadi. but this ketam cabai i made..i'm proud to say that
menjadi...mcm mak masak! yeay! i sent mms to my sisters and
both said dah tau jadi just by looking at the pic!

nasik goreng ikan n bunga kobis. kurang rasa. looks rather pale kan. hurm..

for dinner. ayam masak kicap, ikan bawal
goreng and chinese choy sum in oyster sauce

for dinner lagi. prawns in oyster sauce and bawal goreng

weekend breakfast. corn nugget dibaluti oatmeal. and hash brown.
x abis makan nugget tu. in fact i only ate one. nugget mmg not my fav
n apatah lagi covered with oatmeal plak tu.. hihi

this is all i managed to cook in 1 week plus. other days tapau saja from restaurant nearby or me and adik eat out. but there's still plenty of frozen raw foods in the fridge. ni yg rasa stress sikit. takut if lambat masak the bahan2 all will turn bad. as of now i think there's still plenty of sotong, ikan (xtau ikan apa..xreti tgk apatah lagi bila di chop isi2 saja), then ketam lagi 3 ekor..plus the sepit2..then chicken whole leg..dlm 2... udang i've managed to finish em all selepas 3 kali masak. siap bwk bekal lagi nasik and udang in oyster sauce semasa ber-locum di gurun... hebat kan..=P
