I tried my hand at cooking something for Ayie last Tuesday night. Despite the migraine, I made Ayie fetch me from work and off we went to Sheng Shiong to buy stuff for the dinner...
What did I tried cooking??
Ayam masak lemak cili padi.. I was doing the shopping and then the recipe said 1 litre coconut milk and I almost bought 1 litre of Kara coconut milk and Ayie was shocked..
Ayie: Yang.... mana ader pakai byk macam tu.. kecik nyer satu sudah lah..
Me : Betol apa?? Recipe cakap satu litre... Ikot jer ah...
Ayie: You gie call mak.. Tanya Mak..
So I called mom and my mom say the small 70 cents packets enough..
Wakakak nasib baik aku tak beli satu litre.. Nak masak brapa ayam jer..
So reach home, I super semangat.. Ayie said he will help me but he was busy answering the phone in the room only to come out later saying wow.. best nyer bau.. I can smell it from the room.. I was like yelah you boleh bau.. Tolong taknak.. So now you masak nasi but unfortunately the rice finish already so just as he was going out to buy some, his sister came back so my husband gladly delegate the job to the sister.. Pandai dier..
So seriously, the food was not looking appetizaing eventhough it tasted nice.. I kept stirring and stirring since my fren said that if we don't stir the santan will pecah. I found out then when the santan dah masak tak payah nak stir sangat since it won't pecah oredi...
So we rest a bit while waiting for the rice to set and when we came back.. wah the food looks better lah.. Maybe when it cools dowm, the thing somehow got settle..
So presenting my Ayam masak lemak Cili padi...

Ayie gave it 8 out if 10 and he said for first timer, I did an excellent job.. Yippee... I think I did pretty well but it would be good if I added a bit more tumeric for a better colour and chilli padi for more oomph.. But in a way lesser chilli padi is good as I get heartburn whenever I eat anything spicy.. (Oh and teh photo didn't do justice to my chicken because the colout is paler than it should be due to the flash of my handphone.. I hate Samsung..)
And also my Mixed pokok..

Got pokok hijau and pokok putih..
Ayie said thank you for the meal.. He say he very happy and full and he hope this is not a one month kinda thingy..I said of coz not.. It's a whenever your mom is out of town kinda thingy so it could be once in many months.. LoL.. He say he cannnot tahan me.. I told him I am not comfortable cooking when MIL is around lah.. He say it's okie.. Hehehehe..
Oh Ghafur's wife, Nur, popped.. The baby is gorgeous.. masyallah.. so cute.. I wanna kish kish and cubit cubit lah.. Plus gigit gigit also..
Yesterday night despite being tired, I went to join Ayie at East Coast for Amir and Hetty's Chalet.. Abg Pen was nice to fetch me from home and then send me back.. It was nice chatting with him since we have known each other like way back..
When we reach home, Ayie and I tros lepak.. Penat dok..
Ayie just called. He told me that the price of petrol is up again.. Almost by a ringgit... It used to cost him like RM30 for a full tank and now it is RM43. That's RM13 diffrence.. Too much man... Now his expenses lagi go up.. Aiyoyo..
Ayie applied for biometric so now he can zoom past the long queue.. That is provided I am not around..
Tonight I would be all alone at home since Ayie is going back to work after class.. Awww... I am missing him already...
