Hahhhh…ambik engkau,
sekilometer panjang dah
tajuknya!
Okay……
yesterday, I was trying
out a new recipe…
but I couldn’t do this
without my domestic help,
so, I brought in my little
helpers….
two of my students; Eranie
and Laie…..
MTZ : Eranie, Laie…kamu
berdua tolong cikgu memasak nanti ye..
(Eranie, Laie…you are going
to help me cook afterward)
Laie: Baik, cikgu…
(Alright, teacher…)
Eranie: Nama ka’ dipanduk
di’ lagik cigu?
(Apa
yang nak dimasak nanti, cikgu?)
(What are you going cook later,
teacher?)
MTZ: Ayam…tapi special
sikit!
(Chicken…but it’s going to be
special!)
So, the gang and I got
everything ready for cooking.
MTZ: Eranie, kamu tolong
ambilkan serai lima batang….
(Eranie,
get me five stalks of lemongrass…)
Laie pulak…kamu tumbukkan lada hitam
ni.
(Laie, crush these black
peppercorns.)
Laie: Habis, ayam ni nak
buat macamana cikgu?
(So, what are we going to do with
this chicken?)
MTZ: Ayam ni cikgu lah
yang potong.
(I’ll cut the chicken.)
So, here’s the recipe for “Thom
Yam and Lemongrass Chicken”
sliced chicken breast
meat,
diced lemongrass – about
five stalks, only use the white part
crushed pepper
Thom Yam stock cube
sliced onion
ginger
sugar and salt
chili sauce and tomato
ketchup
MTZ: Dah sedia?
(Are you ready?)
Laie&Eranie: Yah….
MTZ: Okay…panaskan minyak
dulu…
(heat the oil)
Laie: Minyak…..
MTZ: Kemudian, goreng isi
ayam ni dulu…
(then, fry the chicken meat…)
Eranie: Bah, nama ka’ di
gaga’ ku?
(Dah…apa
yang saya kena buat?)
(What
about me…what am I going to do?)
MTZ: Eh..eh..jangan la
marraaa….kamu tumiskan bawang, halia dan serai ni….
(Eh,don’t grumble,you are going to
fry the onion, ginger and lemongrass)
Eranie: hehehe….
When the chicken meat is
about brown enough,
just transfer it into the
wok with the fried lemongrass, ginger and onion..
MTZ: sekarang gaul sampai
ayam tu nampak cantik bergaul dengan serai tu…
(now, mix the chicken with the
lemongrass until the it looks beautiful)
Eranie: Pei..pei…manuk

chicken becomes beautiful! Hehehehe…)

ketchup, thomyam cube, sugar, salt…)
Laie: Laju amat…endak
