it was a weekend. the kids were home.
she started cooking after Dhuha. she was elated to cook for her children. always was.
the dining table at iftar ended up filled with fish bergedil (for bill who doesn't eat ikan kembung and everybody else's fave too), sambal tumis udang (request fr dhyra and everybody's fave), lobak masin (bill's and naj's fave), ikan kembung goreng (q's, dhyra's, naj's and ma's fave), salad telur (bill's and q's fave), bendi goreng (fave of naj and dhyra), bak choy sos tiram (a request fr dhyra), sambal telur rebus yang digoreng (q's fave), masak cuka ikan kembung (ma's fave), nasi lemak and watermelon juice .
though the dishes nearly numbered 10, they were all in small portions, just enough for all. just like tapas that she loves. no excesses. empty plates at the end of iftar. except for the fried ikan kembung (a favorite in the family). these fish leftovers she cooked into masak kicap the next iftar with onions, tomato slices, green chillies. delicious.
she was so happy seeing the kids digging sumptuously into the food.....
