NAK MAKAN UBI KAYU KE... NAK MAKAN NASI MINYAK...

AL-KISAH UBI KAYU DALAM BAKUL SIA BULUH ANTIK/ANTIQUE

NAK MAKAN UBI KAYU KE.. NAK MAKAN NASI MINYAK

What will be your answer if you were asked such question? 

TAPIOCA/CASSAVA or SAVOURY RICE..??

Apakah jawapan anda apabila ditanya.. 

UBI KAYU atau NASI MINYAK..??

Mengapakah perbandingan sebegitu boleh diketengahkan?  

Adakah UBI KAYU melambangkan suatu kehidupan yang menyeksakan?

Ataupun NASI MINYAK itu melambangkan kehidupan yang mewah?

Once upon a time, di zaman penjajahan Jepun.. mungkin nenek moyang kita serik dengan segala yang berkaitan dengan UBI KAYU..

Sarapan apa? Ubi kayu rebus…

Makan tengahari apa? Rebus pucuk ubi aje.. 

Makan malam apa? Hai ntah lah…  Ubi dan ubi dan ubi lagi…

Antik kah yang bernama UBI KAYU itu..?

Kalau antik, harganya tentu antik juga..

Kalau antik, pasti menjadi rebutan..

 Kalau antik, pasti berharga..

Kalau antik, pasti ada sejarahnya..

Berbalik pada NAK MAKAN UBI KAYU KE… NAK MAKAN NASI MINYAK…

Hari ini, kami makan tengahari , Masak Lomak Cili Api Pucuk Ubi dengan Tempeh.

Minum petang.. Ubi Kayu Goreng

Makan malamnya… apa lagi, ulang tayang la Masak Lomak Cili Api Pucuk Ubi dengan Tempeh.

Darurat ke..?? Tak cukup ke bekalan makanan..??  Hinggakan ubi kayu menjadi hidangan..

  

MUNGKIN TIDAKKKK

Dewasa ini, ubi kayu bukanlah lagi mencerminkan derita dan tangis.. UBI KAYU yang putih melepak, telah diwarnai dengan pelbagai warna dan rasa,  menjadi pelbagai rupa kerepek ubi kayu.. tapai ubi kayu…  bingka ubi kayu.. lepat ubi kayu.. pengat ubi kayu.. ubi kayu rebus.. talam ubi kayu… macam2 lagi. 

Blog-walking lah.. blogger2 masakan pasti mempunyai pelbagai resepi yang berkaitan dengan ubi kayu..

Malah sesetengah negara menjadikan UBI KAYU sebagai sumber pendapatan. Ubi kayu ditanam secara komersial untuk menghasilkan tepung ubi. Tepung ubi kayu juga digunakan dalam industri makanan setelah ia diproses menjadi monosodium glutamat (MSG) terutama di negara Timur Jauh dan Amerika Latin.Tahukah anda, untuk menghasilkan satu tan MSG, ia memerlukan lebih kurang 2.4 tan tepung ubi kayu atau tepung kanji.

`

Nyatalah.. UBI KAYU mempunyai nilai komersil yang tersendiri.

Maka, kalau dahulu ubi kayu akan mengingatkan kita kepada zaman penjajahan Jepun.. 

Kini, masih adakah lagi yang merasakan mereka teraniaya seperti di zaman Jepun apabila menjadikan UBI KAYU sebagai juadah..

Kalaulah ADA.. KEJAM sungguh..

ATAU.. adakah tuan yang mengajukan soalan itu melambangkan ubi kayu sebagai satu-satunya makanan pilihan sekiranya berlaku masalah mendapatkan sumber makanan lain, ATAU seperti ketika musim tengkujuh atau malapetaka awam, ATAU semasa darurat ATAU semasa peperangan..

Semoga kita tidak ditakutkan dengan fenomena memakan ubi kayu ya..

Tengahari tadi, blog-walking kat dapur Cik Mat Gebu @ Dapur Tanpa Sempadan. CMG pun masak pucuk ubi juga.. tapi CMG letak kerang.

 I guna ikan bilis dan tempeh… Tempeh lagi…
Tak pe, kan ANTIK..

Bukan ke mak kata "makan tempeh, nanti jadi pandai"

SAMBAL GORENG BERLADA ANTIK DALAM BAKUL ANTIK

Kenapa SAMBAL GORENG BERLADA ANTIK? 

Bukanlah sambal tempeh ni dah antik usianya.. Baru je siap dimasak..

Cumanya.. tempeh, kacang tanah & ikan bilis ni macam dah sinonim dengan orang Melayu or shall I say orang Malaysia.

In other words,  Sejak dahulu lagi..

Kalau dulu orang kata, orang Jawa aje yang makan tempeh.. Tapi, sekarang ni orang Jepun pun makan tempeh.. Worlwide gitu.. 

Namanya je glamour sikit.. Fermented Soybeans

A little bit introduction of Tempeh or Fermented Soybeans. Tempeh is originally from Indonesia. It is made from cooked and slightly fermented soybeans. It looks like is a patty formed veggie burger. It has a textured and nutty flavour. Tempeh is  very high in protein and calcium.

Kata emak, makan tempe banyak2... nanti jadi pandai & kulit pun cantik. 

As for me, it is very subjective.. Betul tak? Secara saintifiknya, tidak dinafikan... kacang soya memanglah kaya dengan protin dan kalsium.. HEALTHY FOOD.. 

 Goreng Berlada Tempeh, Bilis & Kacang Tanah

Back to ANTIQUE.. 

Saje2 aje nak laramkan goreng berlada ni dengan Bakul  Sia Antik Baba & Nyonya ni.. Manalah tahu, kot ada yang terpaut hati pulak.. 

Bakul Sia Baba & Nyonya milik I ni, memang dah berusia.. Appearance dah kurang sikit.. Al-maklumlah, barang lama.
Tapi kan, ... apa dipandang kepada rupa..???

It was made of bamboo, wood and covered with leather.
Very popular among d Malaccarians.
Bakul Sia Baba & Nyonya could be in 1tier, 2 tiers and up to 3 tiers.

During those time, it was custom made.. The size, design and look shall depend on d purpose and usage.. as per d owner preference.

ogyep's HERITAGE NASI LEMAK

Selamat bersiaran di hujung minggu. 

May you enjoy your weekends after hard days throughout d weeks..

Nasi Lemak is a common breakfast for Malaysian.. Some could have it every days.. But some would have it alternately and maybe, those who are health conscious would think twice to have it as their favourite dish. However, to me.. moderation is always a healthy habbit.

Well, this is my Mom's heritage Nasi Lemak. 

As Nasi Lemak is a common menu, somes may found the recipe quite similar here & there.

A little advise from my mom is.. "A nice sambal tumis should be cooked under a slow heat until it looks shinning and oily".. By the time you're done with d sambal tumis, your stove will be very messy with all the splashing sambal & oil..

"Nasi Lemak anyone..??."

My hubby's always said that my sambal tumis tastes like no others sambal tumis. 

Even though, I m totally copying my mother's recipe, my mom's one is still doesn't taste like mine. As for me, my mom's is still d best.

No two are alike.. 

I believe 'air tangan' will make the difference..

Even, my daughter always ask me.. Kenapa nasi Nasi Lemak Mama tak sama dengan nasi Makcik2nya yang lain.. Baunya. Teksturnya.. Rasanya.. 

I m not trying to give credit to my Nasi Lemak.. To me, apa yang orang masak, selalu sedap.. may be b'cos dah jemu makan masakan sendiri.

What I m trying to stress is..

Air tangan seseorang akan memberikan effect yang kuat kepada rasa sesuatu masakan. We could copy d recipe 100%, but d result will b a little bit different.

May be you guys out there could comment a bit on this..

As sharing is caring.. Let us view  d recipes.

D Japanese Boy

Salam everyones outhere?

Lama tak update blog.. Lama tak 'go-blog'..almost 'goblok' gitu. 


But still blog-walking around..

Not in a mood to update blog. After my last entry, I've misplaced my "Japanese Boy" thumb drive which I keep & save all my recent photos to be uploaded in d blog.. FORTUNATELY, it was found again by my 4 years old son, yesterday.. Alhamdulillah.. Thank God..

It's not end yet.. 

Double disasters.. 

As I was bz with the house-chores, I got my 2nd daughter to help me to download few more photos from camera to d Japanese Boy before I could upload them in my blog later.. and.. UNFORTUNATELY, by accident I guess, she had deleted all my photos in d Japanese Boy... I was really mad and sad.. 


The Japanese Boy have everything inside (the last 3 weeks photos), inclusive recent birthday  photos of my eldest daughter.

So, I guess there should be hikmah (hidden good) of all those incidents.. Try to take things easy.. InshaAllah.. but still God knows how I feel..

So, this is d Japanese Boy.. so cute yet so full..

So, LESSON LEARNT..Allah knows better.
