The Loves of My Loved Ones.(1)

My first born, came into the warmth of my arms , some 30 years ago. Had us waiting for almost 3 years before this bundle of joy came. .......After shaking off his love for Heinz Baby Food, his love was for rice with Hati Ayam Goreng dengan Kicap, which Mak Tok had to hand feed him everyday until he grew tired of it when he reached the age of almost two and a half..........

Hati Ayam Goreng Dengan Kicap

Hati Ayam - cuci dan tos kan

Garam kunyit

Serbuk lada hitam - suku sudu kecil

Kicap manis - 2 sudu kecil

Bawang Besar di potong bulat

1.  Gaulkan garam kunyit ke ayam.

2.  Goreng hati ayam dalam kuali seperti menggoreng ayam. Bila masak, angkat.

3.  Dalam kuali yang baru, masukkan minyak tadi sebanyak 2 sudu makan sahaja.

4.  Masukkan hati yg telah digoreng, serbuk lada hitam, kicap manis dan bawang.

5.  Goreng2 kan hingga kicap bersalut (tambah air sesudu agar kicap tidak hangus),

      tutup api dan sendukkan kedalam pinggan.

Then, when we moved to Shah Alam, my baby's love changed for Udang Goreng Kicap......and the prawns had to be big and juicy !!!.......so again, Mak Tok had to send the stock from Alor Setaq to Shah Alam for her precious grandchild's daily meal (Mama dengan Papa mana ada duit nak beli udang RM40-50 sekilo time tu......dua2 dok blajaq lagi.....tu pun kadang2 kena SOS Mak Tok for house rent....susah la katakan.....). So, everyday, Kak Yang had to goreng 2-3 ekoq for his consumption - 1-2 for lunch and 1 for dinner.

Udang Goreng Kicap

3 ekor Udang Kertas (sepanjang 6-7 inci)

garam kunyit

kicap manis

bawang - potong bulat

asam jawa sebesar ibu jari (jadikan 2 sudu besar air shj)

minyak untuk goreng - 3 sudu besar

1. Gaul garam kunyit ke udang, dan goreng.

2. Bila masak, masukkan kicap, air asam jawa dan bawang.

3. Kacau hingga didih (tambah air secamca-dua jika kering) dan angkat.

For Iqwan Nazrein Ibrahim, this was the beginning of his love for food......as years pass by.....his consumptious needs for variety grew .........
