Food, Glorious Food.....(Aidil Adha Eve Part 2)

Macam-macam ada......
Karaoke session

19 Dec (Wednesday) 2007

We reached Klang (at about 2.00 pm something) with 3 batang lemang (bought at Bukit Rahman Putra), trifle and peach clafouti. Much to our delight, the rendang, sup tulang and kuah kacang were already cooked by Mak Su and Mak Cik Noridah (hubby's sisters). Cik Ju (Mak Cik Noridah's helper)was in the midst of preparing kuah lodeh. Since there's not much to do.....hubby was hooked with the karaoke set until 6.30 pm......Stopped for prayers and giving chance to Ariff for a few songs....and they continued singing after dinner.

Woke up early to cook the nasi minyak and acar timun. Fitri cooked curry ikan tongkol......(just like the nasi dagang style). By 7.45 am everybody was ready for the Aidil Adha prayers at Surau Al-Ikhwan. Mak Long arrived early and she brought along some grapes and bananas...perfect, since our house lacked of fruits.

The prayers started at 8.30 am and the surau was packed with people. I guess not many of them balik kampung this year.....The khutbah touched on the meaning of qurban and our role in berkorban towards Islam, parents' responsibilities, the challenges in raising children,the maksiat that are happening in our society...........
I felt good that morning, the weather was crystal clear and the sun was shining. The atmosphere was serene and people were happy and greeted each other in ukhwah spirit.
Back home, we quickly took out the marinated chicken that I prepared the day before and deep fried them. Tossed some salad, lined-up together with the nasi minyak, curry ikan tongkol, acar timun, trifle ~ kuah kacang, rendang, lemang(we packed from last night's dinner) and we had our raya feast .........

Salam Aidil Adha everybody....

Peach Clafouti.....Aidil Adha Eve Part 1

This is not my peach clafouti .....taken from a webpage instead...I forgot to take my clafouti photo ....

19 December (Wednesday)

I took leave to prepare for the get together dinner with Hubby's family at Klang. I've already prepared my trifle the night before. Hmmm...since I felt I need to bring something else which doesn't take much time to prepare,.....I quickly browsed through my recipes collection (taken from magazines).....Then, Yahooo!!....A recipe worth trying...From one Mak Datin who lives abroad....she said it is easy to prepare this Peach Clafouti.....just blend in some milk, flour, eggs, sugar and pour over a greased pan with arranged peaches on it....and put into the oven and bake for about 40 - 50 minutes or golden brown....There you go, it's sooo easy......what can go wrong...??? The clafouti can be eaten warm or cold and you can serve that with ice-cream. You can even substitute the peaches with other fruits.....
