My latest craving

I love to read cook book. Read, not looking for any recipe to do. Yelah, mana tau tiba-tiba tengok gambar and datang hidayah nak buat kan. I took majalah rasa from my mom's room and started to look at the recipe. Actually, the picture. hehe. Majalah rasa at that month were showing juadah jamuan raya. And i saw nasi ambeng. And i suddenly drools.. Orang jawa cakap ngences. haha. To be frankly, i never knew about the existence of nasi ambeng until i meet my husband. He told me about it when he was away on offshore. And that day was during fasting month. I remember the day i went to bazaar ramadhan in subang. I saw nasi ambeng for the first time so i bought it. Beli kat subang memanglah mahal kan. Bila time berbuka, rasa nasi ambeng for the first time.

"Sedap..." But again, i thought because it was breaking fast, apa pon sedap. For those who didnt know, nasi ambeng consist of plain rice, lauk either ayam goreng or kicap, sambal goreng jawa, ikan masin, serunding, kerabu, meehon/mee. Frankly, i was shocked to eat so much lauk with nasi, takde kuah and meehon/mee. Mana pernah budak bandar ni makan nasi berlaukkan meehon/mee. Jakun kejap.

Then after that, bila dah kawen, makan dengan en suami. Teringat rasa nasi ambeng tu sekarang..Makan kat kampung, pure orang jawa yang masak. Memanglah sedap. And again, masa tu buka puasa. And i remember that we went back to kl during fasting month. So we decided to start our journey petang-petang sikit so that tak rasa haus and lapar sangat. hehe. We went to the bazaar and bought some food which include nasi ambeng. Masa half journey, berenti bukak puasa, and both of us berebut-rebut makan nasi ambeng dalam kereta. Hehe. And when i asked my husband whether he remember that moment, he said he remember and that is one of our sweet memories. And lesson learned, makanan akan jadi lebih sedap kalau kita makan berebut-rebut dengan orang yang kita sayang. hehehe.

So ya, my latest craving is Nasi Ambeng.. Mana nak cari kat subang ni rasa yang sama macam orang jawa buat ye.. Tak susah nak buat tapi nak dapat rasa yang sama tu susah. Haih..
