White Shoes & The Couples Company – Suburbia

Di suatu senja di sebuah stasiun kereta
Di sudut kota Jakarta
Peluh bercampur lelah terlihat dimuka
Masyarakat suburbia
Dan kuteringat dalam memori
Perbincangan dengan dirinya

Sustainable marine conservation topiknya
Terbuai ku dibuatnya
Coral transplantation dan illegal fishing methods adalah diantaranya
Dan kuterbayang
Dia bagaikan m’Alfredi di laut lepas

Kini gelombang
pesan lamun
Nyala harapan
mungkin sekan

Andai Professor Emmett Brown
Membuka celah
Peristiwa yang berlalu lalang
Akan kutemui dirinya
Merespon kemarin perbaiki nadaku reda

Kini gelombang
pesan lamun
Nyala harapan
mungkin sekan

Kini gelombang
pesan lamun
Nyala harapan
mungkin sekan

Kini gelombang
pesan lamun
Nyala harapan
mungkin sekan

Makan : Puding Biskut Osborne

hehehehe....
sesajerrr jerrrr nak share gambar
puding biskut Osborne ni...

actually, 
i don't know the exact recipe
but i'm guessing it is much the same 
as you would make bread pudding 
with custard cream
except...this is made using biscuits
some kind of tasteless biscuit
not creamy, not salty, not sugar-coated
really....bland and tasteless biscuit.

so...as you can see from the picture
the biscuits were all broken to small pieces
and layered with some sort of creamy custard.

best eaten warm.....
heavenly when served chilled...
with a cup of warm tea;on the side. 

hehehehehe.....

Makan : Peasant Food Fit For Kings

very simple breakfast 

my sarapan...this morning
mi goreng kosong
dengan lempeng tawar
dan puding biskut Osborne

sedikit trivia....
lempeng tawar dalam bahasa-bahasa etnik 
Melayu Sarawak  - disebut 'tumpik'
bahasa Iban - 'tumpek'
bahasa Melanau - 'tupek'

tambahan trivia lagi
biskut Osborne pulak...
bahasa Melayu Sarawak - beskot keben
bahasa Iban - kuey penat kibin
bahasa Melanau - koi kiben

sori yerr...kawan-kawan berbangsa Bidayuh, Orang Ulu...
i tak tau apa panggilan dan sebutan untuk 
tupek dan koi kiben...kalau sudi...tell me please.

anyway...
simple kampung style breakfast like this 
is wayyyyyyy more satisfying
that is when you know...you're home.

peasant food...fit for a king.
gtewwssss

tak pasal-pasal hancorrr diet u'ols

hehehehe....

okehh...ni dia Mi Sup Daging Berlada Putih


cara-cara nak membuat nyerrr ye bangg
abang kena tumiskan dulu 
seinci halia yang dihiris nipis-nipis
bersama sebiji bawang besar yang dah dipotong halus
abang kena tumis sampai naik wangi 
dan bawang tu caramelized sikit.

dah tuuu...abang masukkan semangkuk setengah air
didihkannnn sehingga wangi serumah...hahaha
then...abang masukkan sebijik sup bunjut 
atau sebijik rempah sup tulang
rebus sampai semakin wangi rumah abang tu.

kemudian, humbankan sepaket daging lembu kisar
i guna yang frozen jerrr bang...senang lagi.
kalo abang nak kisar sendiri daging lembu...dipersilakan. 
rebus lagi...hhmm...say about 15 minutes..
oopss...kecikkan api dulu.

kemudian, masukkan kiub pati daging lembu 
sebanyak 2 bijik...
dan masukkan sesudu lada sulah...
didihkan lagi....boleh ejasss masin manis sendiri....

yerrr cik abanggg...sebelum menghidang tu...
abang boleh asingkan uncang sup bunjut tuuu.

celurkan mi laksa ataupun mi kuning...
i suka lagi guna mi laksa...
sebab dapat rasa sup nya.

okehh...sukahati abang laaaa
nak tambah sambal cili kaaa
perahan limau kaaa
kicap manis kaaa
nak letak daun sup kaaa
daun ketumbar kaaa...
terpulang laaaa pada citarasa abang yerrr...

and you might wonder....
why did i address u'ols as abang this time around
because....most of the time...this type of noodle soup 
suits men...bored men with nothing to do 
during the weekend...
when there's no football match on the telly

i nak sharing-sharing is caring-caring laaa
cerita tentang sambutan Hari Guru 
peringkat sekolah i yang telah dibuat 
pada 24 Mei yang lalu
iaitu minggu lepas. 

sambutan yang serba sederhana 
dibuat pada minggu terakhir 
sebelum cuti semester pertama.

kitaorang tak dapat nak buat 
majlis yang besar-besaran macam 
Academy Award ceremony gituuu
sebab everyone was so damn busy
during the last two weeks...

tak laaa tergapai-gapai dan terkenang-kenang 
kerja masa cuti kannnn......

so, majlis hari guru di sekolah i 
dibuat dalam tiga peringkat.

i akan ceritakan peringkat pertama
sambutan hari guru SERENGKA...
iaitu majlis sebelah pagi. 

majlis pagi dimulakan sesimple-simple nyaaa

Makan : Resepi Bakso Mamarock yang paaaliiing simple di dunia..

Good morning class.....
Good morning teacher.
How are you today class?
We are fine, thank you. How about you, teacher?
I'm fine too. Thank you for asking.

hehehehe...set induksi sekejap yerr...

okeh...ni nak sharing is caring 
about a simple dish
that i made a few days back.
this is my own version of 
Indonesia's favourite street food.

this is bakso...
with a wonderful beef broth
and kick-in-your-gut spicy chilli
plus yummy meatballs.

well, my version goes like this
get ready to copy and paste.

for the beef broth
fry some chop garlic and shallot 
with a little oil
then pour in half a liter of water 
let it boil for thirty minutes
and add in beef stock cubes...say...mmm..four cubes!
the authentic recipe will require slices of beef
some spring onion and coriander leaf to be sauteed 
before you pour in the water....
but this is entirely up to you...hehehehe

for the chilli sambal....
simply crush some chillies 
with some sugar...just enough 
to make the chillies
more crushable (deduct my mark for grammar!)
then, pour in some vinegar.
add more sugar or vinegar 
to suit your taste.

for the meatball
simply open a packet of frozen meatball 
and add them into the beef broth.
let them simmerrrrr for say...thirty minutes more.

serve with a handful of glass noodles
and some sweet soy sauce...

mmm...and enjoy.
well, remember, this is my version
for bakso...if you want the authentic one
go ahead...just google "recipe+bakso"
hehehehe....
