kitchen lesson 101

i always thought umi is being over-ly perfect when it comes to the ingredients used in her cooking. i mean, bawang merah kecik pun, she'd choose the smallest one to make her gulai. and with her perfectionist attitude makes us her children kinda malas nak masuk dapur sebab if salah potong potato pun kena marah! like seriously okay.

but now, dah rajin rajin kan diri jugak masuk dapur because dah rasa perlu? ;) and seriously bebelan itu la yang banyak membantu bila buat kerja sorang-sorang kat dapur. like, this tips : bila anda di tugaskan untuk kupas bawang banyak2 punya, always start with bawang putih and end with bawang merah. to avoid you from crying kupas-ing all of it! hee.

so,

umi : don't buy the kuew teow yang thin and soft tu, beli yang besar and kasar sikit tu. {for me semua jenis sama jeeee, but for her ada type2. urgh! but the other day, when i was walking on the mee-isle at the supermarket, to my surprise i found it! ;p and yes, by that time, i know she knows best!}

umi : buy the cili padi yang kecik sekali, jangan buy yg besar punya.
me : okay. {confidently, because by now, i already know that there is the smallest one yang paling pedas sekali. by watching afc and her bebelan of course}

but, i mintak tolong syg to go and buy it. because i was lazy nak turun just to get that. and guess what?

he comes back to the car saying, cili padi ni je ade. and i was like itu besar punyaaaa. he said ala, semua sama jeee. pedas jugak.

me : speechless, i really do understand where that comes from. owh owh.

p.s. at least now, he can't teased me tak reti masak lagi, haha ;p
