Cousin's Wedding @ Lenggong

Di dalam perjalanan ke Lenggong Resthouse..

Hasilnya... muka yang sangat ceria selepas menyedut bau segar itu..

Lupa nak snap gambar resthouse tapi berjaya jugak cari gambar Rest House Lenggong dekat website ni http://pdtlenggong.perak.gov.my/. Silalah masuk website ni ok. Mane tau boleh bagi idea untuk cuti2 Malaysia. Sangat impressive untuk sebuah pekan ada website seperti ni. Macam-macam maklumat tentang Lenggong ada tau dari sekolah ape ade kat situ, tempat penginapan, klinik-klinik dalam pekan tu, ekonomi kat situ, tarikan perlancongan & macam2 lagilah. Siap gambar lagi tu. Tetibe rasa bangga sebab pernah menjejakkan kaki ke Lenggong sebab die ade website yang penuh informasi tu. Haha..

Inilah die rumah rehat Lenggong tu. Food kat restoran dalam rest house ni sedap. Tukang masak die memang pandai masak la. Maceh yea.. Owhh die punya bilik2 kira ok la. Semua harga below RM100. Tapi untuk makluman bagi sesiapa yang nk booking resthouse ni, saya syorkan klu nak ambil bilik, ambil bilik yang terletak di bangunan ini, atau bangunan belakangnye. Yang bangunan berdepan tu kurang elok la tak tau kenapa. Ye lah, ekceli rest house ni best tapi bangunan depan tu je yg x best. Kan da bagi impression yg tak bagus. Kerana nila setitik rosak susu sebelanga. Haa.. tengok da potpet2 yg tak berkaitan topik, sekali skala blogging mmg berjela2.

Oklah, ke majlis akad nikah & berinai pula (11 Dec 2009)

My cousin.. Azmin, pengantin lelaki

His wife, Nur Fadhilah yang chantek

Tema kedua-dua belah pihak, Hitam & Putih. Forza Juve... Sukalah orang tu..

1st time tengok pengantin lelaki menepung tawar pengantin perempuan. Ke.. I je yg x pernah tau..

The happy couple..

Keesokan harinya... Majlis bersanding (12 Dec 2009)

Akak baju purple pon tumpang 'enter' frame. Hi abg camera..

Raja sehari.. Gorgeous, tall & slim ... (sighhhh). Pengantin lelaki pon tak kurang macho..

Lepas majlis ni, kami makan ais krim yang dijual kat seberang jalan (pandai cari pot yea...). Seriyess sedappp aiskrim tu. Bapak pengantin pon makan ais krim tau.




Rupanya tak la macam ni. Tapi still sedappp sangattt...

Kundang Jeruk

Had been introduced to 'Kundang' about 1 year ago. Never knew of its existance before. Does this mean the fruit is exotic simply b'coz I'd never heard of it before? Extinct may be?

Since we are regular visitors of Gamin, we got very familiar to the huge trunk of Kundang tree (mighty, shady, comforting tree - aged almost 100 years I guess) just outside the kitchen. It's one of the best Kundang breed bearing just the right combination of sweet & sour Kundang.

There are 3 ways that I know as to how to indulge the fruit.

1. Sambal gesek with Kundang muda

2. Dip them with Mak Bee sauce (the one which is hot & sugary) - muda / masak tak kisah

3. Make pickles - of course with Kundang muda

So this time it bear some fruits & I thought since there are too many why not I make pickles out of them, although I'm not a pickles' fan. Never made any pickles before but just hoping anyone, just anyone would eat my pickles. Bak kata orang 'asal tau sudah'. Klu mls nk buat lepas ni takpe tp 'pernah' juga buat pickles kan...

Methods

1. Cut the fruits into halves, so you'll see the purple seed inside.

Eh, biar betul color purple... perhaps this is where purple crayons come from?

2. Korek itu purple kasi buat crayon.

3. Soak the fruits with warm water mixed dgn sedikit kapur or is it calcium carbonate? May be for 30 mins? Belasah lah.

4. Change the water, put a few spoonful of salt. Ini pon belasah. But to be on the safe side, put a bit more. Let it soak for 2 or 3 nights.

5. Drain the water. Put the fruits into an airtight jar. Drown them with sugar. Kasi taruk saja, the sugar will melt by itself. Ikut sesedap rasa. No need to add water coz it'll come out of the fruit the next day or so.

Peminat2 asam / perempuan mengidam pasti sukakannya..

Selamat mencuba ...

Next time must show you the gigantic tree. I guess I can claim that it's my favourite tree.
