Why am I writing about pumpkin, u asks?

Hmmp. I love pumpkin, I mean, who doesn’t right? It’s sweet, soft and melt in your mouth taste makes you ask for more!

I always requested umi to make me pumpkin dish. Thinking that it is simple and easy to make. After all, it’s just pumpkin.

Besides being a hearty meal, people always use pumpkin to describe sweetness. For example, my pumpkin pie, pumpkin patch, my pumpkins!, owh my little pumpkin, and all things pumpkin la.

In Malay, pumpkin can also be a teaser, like, iyelah labuuuuuu.

So, the other day, we wanted to serve pumpkin dish, for our guest, it was my idea of course, cause I thought, it’s sweet, nice and nyummy & suppose to be simple and easy!

My task was to peel the pumpkin. I said to myself, senang je, nantila peel. After I am done with peeling shrimps, potong bawang, slicing the meat, blending the chili, and etc. etc. {dalam hati I, peel pumpkin macam peel potato je kot}

So, by the time I am ready with the other task in hand, it’s time for me to peel the star of the day, the Pumpkin. took a knife, sat on the chair at the table, with a round riped orangey coloured pumpkin, I’m all ready and set. Once the knife reached the pumpkin skin, my heart SANK literally. It is so DAMN FREAKIN’ HARD TO PEEL A PUMPKIN, I tell you! Cuba you pergi cari pumpkin and pergi cuba peel it, SUMPAH SUSAH!

It’s far from like peeling a potato. a potato is so easy to peel, siap ade the potato peeler lagi. I haven’t found any pumpkin peeler anywhere, wujud ke ha? Ntahlaaa.

After the first three peels, I was already complaining hard, and opah had to do something about it, coz I guess she knows that my mouth won’t shut until she do something to the pumpkin. So, she cut it into three piece, and told me to only do two of it. *siap bagi motivation* ;p Barula I rasa semangat, tak payah habiskan satu labu haha.

While peeling, my nails almost break and my fingers jadi so rough and muddy. Urgh. I took almost an hour just to peel the 2 per three pumpkin. Haih, memalukan okey! Lepas habis, I ask opah to cut it into pieces, I don’t want to handle it anymore~

Now that I know how hard it is to make a pumpkin dish, I will value it more later. And if I ever stumble upon any pumpkin dish at someone’s house, I’ll ask who peel the pumpkin? cause she surely deserve a pat on the shoulder! ;p

p.s. no wonder pumpkin is so yummy. sbb susah sgt nak dapatkan isi dia. hehe.
