of books and food

of books
went to kinokuniya yesterday. had a list of 6 books that i planned to flip thru b4 deciding whether or not i would buy. one of them i struck out of my list after reading the first chapter.

tried searching for the rest using the kino navi but it is so darned annoying hving to use that touchscreen of theirs – so i gave up after using it to search for 2 titles.

malaikat_iblisended up leaving the store with 3 books (only one of ‘em was in my original list) and this photo. i saw the cover and wandered ‘what de heck??‘. it looked familiar – then it hit me – dan brown’s angels and demons – translated to malay. very funny la the title. as it was placed near the payment counter and i’d already paid for my purchases when i noticed the cover – went back in line just so that i could get the shot :razz:

of food

sambal tiputhis, my friends, is what my parents called my ‘sambal tipu’. why sambal tipu? coz i cheat a bit when i prepare it. but hey, maggi even made a commercial of the method i used in enhancing the flavor (“takde ni, tak sedap mak”)

recipe:
a.shallots
b.garlic
c.belacan (whaddya call ‘em in engrish aaa..? i forgot)
d. chilli paste
e. sugar/salt
f. tamarind juice
g. anchovies (of course!) – make sure these are fried until crunchy
h. maggi (or knorrs’ .. whichever rocks ur boat) chicken stock cube/granules
i. onions (sliced & diced)

how to:
1. pound a + b + c until all mushy (the proportions i let u figure out for urself)
2. heat up some oil in ur trusty wok and saute the mushy lot until fragrant
3. put in the chilli paste – make sure the whole lot is cooked well (it should turn into a darker shade of red – be careful not to leave it too long until it’s burnt)
4. sprinkle a bit of the chicken stock at this point (this is the part that my parents claim as cheating)
5. then put in a pinch of salt and also a dash of sugar (in my family’s case – it’s more than a dash – 1-2 tbspful is normal – jawa you know)
6. add some tamarind juice to the whole mixture to taste (or u can substitute with apple cider vinegar – i had to once.. ran out of tamarind)
7. finally mix in the fried anchovies + sliced & diced onions. (prolly onions first)

and walla!! u’ve got the sambal tipu. i dun mind the name – amir likes it enough. the rest of family too. dunno though whether my liberal use of chicken stock would result in us growing larger boobs (due to the hormones injected to the chickens that is)
