Exploring The Taste

I luv cooking is not the right phrase for me.. but i enjoyed cooking... But that doesn't mean that i can cook great food tho.. And tak de la rajin masak jugak.. Kena ikut mood..Masak suka2 boley la.. :D, I remembered about 5 years back when i was filling forms to apply for my degree, I asked a fren;


Me : How if aku amek hot-cat instead of taking courses which is related to my dip?

Her: Ko giler ke apa? Klu suka sgt masak, tu dapur mak aku tu ada.. pg la belajar masak ngan dia

Frankly thinking my work experience in the field that i am working, i don't dare to switch to other field pon.. Plus all the financial commitment that i've made, lagi la..Terus terkubur niat aku... hahahhaha... Actually bukan suka masak la kot.. but i enjoyed seeing people sitting together, enjoying the food and having a great chat..


I like to try out recipes.. and creating one.. selalu nye when i cook i just based on what i've tasted. Macam buat experiment kat sekolah... klu this time buat rasa dia ada kurang pape, the next time i will ulter until it suits my taste bud.. Just make do of whatever i have in my kitchen.. It is interesting especially when u try to combine things from 2 sides of the world, and it ends up very delicious... and you'll be satisfied... more than satisfied i must say...


Most of my favourite dishes are very easy to prepare and using simple ingredients.. Kalau yang leceh2 tu mesti malas nak buat... That's why i like Jamie Oliver very much... He makes cooking fun.. It looks soo simple and easy.. :D


i believe to produce a tasty dish, it's not the recipe that matter, but the sincerity, passion and love you put in the process of preparing it.. That's why people say nothing beats mom's cooking. Because mom always prepare food with love and for the people she loves. No matter how simple the dishes are.


Whenever i went outstation, be it for work or leisure, i really wanted to try the local dishes but i guess being a muslim, i can't really explore the food as i wish.. I think everywhere on earth they shud have a halal food restaurant that serves the local dish. Baru la boley rasa food ikut cara the local have it... Ini tak, ada halal food tapi Arab's la... Turkish la... but not the 'country you went to' nyer local dishes.


When i went for a business trip to Senegal last 2 years, we were brought to a france restaurant a few times. And yes, they serve pork and definitely semua pon tak sembelih kalau pon ada ayam n daging.. and by right i can't even eat there sbb all the cutleries pon bercampur, but i don't have a choice.. So i ordered poisson(fish) all the time.. had enuff poisson when i was there.. Eventho Senegal is a muslim country with 95% of the population are muslim, I still have doubts in the food they served..


On our wayn back, our flight transit in Paris and i got a chance to jalan2.. My superior was already too tired because it was a packed schedule from the day we left, so he decided to go to slumberland and leave me to explore Paris by myself. Dengan map and one day pass ticket, i managed to get myself to most of the tourist attraction places and enjoyed the architecture of the city of romance. So dari 7am till midday berjalan, mesti la lapor kan.. :D.. so carik la dlm map halal restaurant, dalam map memang jumpa.. tapi kat atas tanah tak jumpa... dah naik lembik dah berjalan.. Last2 i bought 2 pieces of plain croissant. Maybe aku yg bodo tak reti baca map.. hahahahaha

Okey la, enuff of all the merabanz
