Opah is the best cook for me

  Salaam children ,

 Have i told you all before that opah was the best cook ..even though she has passed away for me she is still around us..it is not her body ...mind you..but her spirit ,her determination...i will always miss her kuah tauchu even mak alang cannot challenge her cooking..when i was small kuah tauchu and kuah lemak chilli api were our favourites..these two kuah were always on the table..atuk always asked us what kuah we wanted on that day..as usual the answer was kuah tauchu ,lemak chilli api...but sometimes opah cooked asam pedas ,pajri nenas or pajri terung ,kari ,sambal tumis petai , goreng berlada..all were and still are our favourites but opah is not going to cook for us anymore..

 We are not rich you know , but atuk always make sure there were at least two types of kuah on the table for us..i know..i know..you will ask ....atuk masakkkkkkkk?  no.no..no ..the answer is no ,,,no,,,no..opah was the cook but atuk always asked opah what ikan she wanted that day..aaaaaaaahhhh...those beautiful and wonderful days with my mater and my pater are gone...gone also those lazat and delliciuos kuahs...do you know children for different kuah opah usually used different ikan..for example ikan gerut ,ikan chencaru and ikan mayong were for kuah tauchu..ikan kembong for kuah lemak chilli api..and ikan belanak was special because this kind of ikan/fish opah used for both kuahs....aahh ..i really miss opah and her cookings

  Ramadhan was and still is associated with mee goreng /fried mee..who else if not opah..we can buka puasa everyday with mee and yet not bored with this dish..atuk always asked...nak buka apa /you want to break your fast with what dish....meeeeeeeeeee.....we always answered in chorus no matter where we were at that time ..sometimes under our blanckest..sometimes under the mempelam tree playing marbles..

Enough of kuah tauchu and kuah lemak chilli api children..of course all of us can cook these two kuahs but not as perfect as opah my mater..maybe you can learn how to make kuah tauchu from mak lang when we meet her during this eidulfitri..hahahahaha...just wishing you know...like i told you before this year pater is celebrating eidulfitri with his parents.........

I hope you have good news for me ..as usual please read your quran everyday..never miss it ..solat as soon the azan ends..cover your aurat like a good muslimah...adios ..see you soon.....
