when ebi becomes nana tanjung and nani finally makes makmor

hari raya is just around the corner so i have decided not to spoil the festive mood. and that includes not to entertain nana tanjung's remarks about me not needing a maid when i move to penang.

as far as i can recall, i did survive without a maid for quite sometime...at least about two, three months or so. hmm...but then like i said earlier, i am willing to let nana tanjung get off the hook this time, only because i have found an interest to do something else right now...

earlier today yuz and i were talking about my the prospects of me relocating. while weighing the pros & cons, the conversation somehow took on a different route altogether-what are we cooking for raya (this is another one-of-those-not-perculiar-thing-to-happen-in-a-jhora-family). the good news is i get to have mama kg pandan's soto (yummy) which i remembered lasted me the entire day last raya haji. and then we talked about papa's favourite kuih raya-makmor. so i told her not to worry coz mama (that's my mil) already made him some.

when the call ended i rushed out to ask mama exactly how many she made for him. mama said "Banyaak.Ada dalam seratus biji". Uh-huh.somebody mustv'e forgotten to relay an important info to her. seratus biji would mean it would be gone even before puasa enam habis.you see, if i'd known my uncle well, there are only two things that he looks forward to eating during raya. and that is kuih makmor and kuih kapit...so, due to the unavailability of kuih kapit, i suppose we can make it up to him by supplying more kuih makmor. time to get my hands dirty...

obviously, mama's version of kuih makmor is very much fit for fine dining, while mine is err...tastes ok la but just close your eyes and pop 'em in!
