The eve of Ramadan...

Bila sampai eve of Ramadan, orang semua mula beribadat... tetapi...!! gua, lain ceritanyerr...

4h00pm : decided to go to Abu Dhabi to try out this Indonesian Restaurant - Sari Rasa. Khabarnya memang enak banget makanannnya... so drpd menunggu forever and ever bila nak sampai ke Abu Dhabi (terutamanya memikiokan bulan posa start esok, lagi lah tak sanggup nak ke Abu Dhabi), have decided to go immediately that evening... caling2 dua tiga orang geng, then...

7h00pm, ciao gi Abu Dhabi... sanggup tuh,...!! semata nak makan nasi padang... bawak sorang kawan Indon ni, sebab dia pun dulu keghojer kat Abu Dhabi dan tahu kat mana restoran tuh... so senang ler tak payah nak tercari2 kat mana restoran tuh...). Tambahan pulak, sebab memang buat kerja gila, have to be back in Dubai by midnite, coz need to pick up a friend who is arriving at 12midnite...

8h45pm : sampai restoran tuh... what a disappointment... Nasi padang buffet dah abis... restoran also very the "underground" one... litterally...!! haha... well, for anyone who thinks that the restaurant would either look like Singapore Deli or Mutiara, well, be prepared to be disappointed again... It looks like a small cafe (definitely bigger than "City Moon" cafe for sure)... Since the nasi padang buffet was out, we went "a la carte".... Waiter service was big fat ZERO... in the whole restaurant, there was only 1 menu which was being passed around... Waiter couldn't understand English...

We ordered :

• satay kambing
• satay ayam
• tahu goreng
• tongkeng kambing (some kind of "masak kicap" dish...??)
• Pecal (what's the Indonesian version of sayur pecal...? lupa la pulak... ouh ya... Gado2)
• nasi putih
• nasi goreng Sari Rasa (take away)
• mee bakso... (take away)

Instead of sending the food all together, the dishes came in 1 by one... and since we were thinking of eating "berhidang", kongsi2 the different dishes with rice, well, we were a bit disappointed...

However, after eating the various dishes.... MasyaAllaaaahhhhhh...!!! Enak banget the very bangeeeet..., wa cakap luuu...!! sumpah tak tipu never bohong oneee....!!

memang sedap...!! sarap...!!! enak...!!! terubatlah jugak rasa disappointed tadi... (tetapi, perhatian... "waiver" - gua suspect the very strong one, that depa banyak guna MSG... suspect jer laa... )

10h00pm lepas kenyang makan dan minum, kita orang siap2 nak balik Dubai (I have to pick up a friend at the airport at midnite, remember...? kan ker buat kejer giler, wa cakap lu awai12 tadi...). So, this Indonesian friend gave instruction on how to get back to Dubai, masuk kiri, masuk kanan, lurus & terus, kiri, kanan... then masuk highway, dia kata, just go straight, we will reach Dubai... so hepi2lah bawak kereta sambil sembang2 dgn 3 org geng tuh dlm kereta....

Guess what....? 1hour 30mn after that.... we suddenly reached to this town which looked so different... where got another town in between Abu Dhabi & Dubai...? gua dah syak something wrong oledi.... True enough, we found ourselves in the city of Al Ain....!!!! aper lagi, kelam kabut sent sms & call the friend at the airport to tell him that I couldn't make it (after mintak maap profusely), and bukak balik map mencari jalan utk pegi ke Dubai...

Hancus sungguh ko Kris...!! orang ajak ko dtg sekali supaya tak sesat, gua siap belanja makan lagi....! mengharapkan dialah utk pegi dan balik Dubai - Abu Dhabi - Dubai.... tengok2, langsung jadik Dubai - Abu Dhabi - Al Ain - Dubai.... Basically, we did a triangle route... It took about another 1hour and a half to reach back to Dubai from Al Ain... reached home at about 1am...

siap2 apa yang patut... then by 3pm, went to sleep... tak sahur pun...

First day of Ramadan went well... berbuka posa dgn makanan yang di"tapau" dari Sari Rasa resto kat Abu Dhabi... Utk sahur semalam, decided to cook sambal udang again (sempena nak menghabiskan udang yang dah terbeli banyak a few days ago..., simpan lama2 busuk lak kang...). Sambal udang dimakan bersama telur goreng, dan nasi puteh jerrr....

Jangan tanya resepi camna buat...!! Blog ini blog caca marba, so style masakan pun a la "caca marba" jugaklah kan... bukak cabinet dapur, tengok aper yang ada, potong2, tambah2 campur2, kalo rasa semacam, then modify2... campur2 again, rasa2..... then voila....!!

very successful (as usual, ahaks...!!) bukan ramai orang boley masak like that one you know...!! haha... orang semua guna resepi, gua guna bakat dan instinct.... hahaha...!!!

Saraaaappppp....!!!! Sedaaaaappppp....!!!! Enak banget....!!!!!

masa ini masih tak berapa menjadi, terlalu acidic (sebab guna "sambal oelek" yang sememangnya tersangat masin )



to counter the acidic taste, gua campur santan sket... hahaha.... biar on the stove for awhile, then rasa2... huaaa...!! memang kaw power punya...!! pedas ada, lemak pun ada...!!
syabas beteh....!!! :)
