Assalammualaikum wbt,
I love cooking and cooking has been my forte, luckily since I was young. Heck, I even took Culinary courses during my Diploma for the love of food and eating #perasan. My instagram feeds are full of food, majority my own cooking, #proud. It's my passion but depends on mood juga. If I were so lazy, I would rather sleep and call for pizza delivery. If I were extra rajin that week, I would cook something special. Just like last week, I cooked Nasi Minyak and Ayam Masak Merah. Yes, it was good man! My husband went to tambah, not just him, myself also tambah nasi few times, that good I tell ya. Hahaha.
For Malaysian cooking, I mostly get the recipe from my favourite cooking blog, Azie Kitchen. I always trying out her recipes and so far, hers are the best! Although the steps are quite meticulous but the results are the best! I also love to check out Instagram with cooking videos to get the recipes and learn other people ways of cooking. They may have different style but theirs may be better. And now, I have a habit whereby I always stalk and watch videos after videos on Instagram for cooking tutorials.
I've been uploading my cooking tutorials recently and kind of addicted to it. Haha. It's kinda hard really to record using Ipad because of its size. Yeah..my phone is very basic lousy one, I rely most on my Ipad all time.
Another bad habit I had all along, is to spend time at imported food aisle. Well, when I was still a student especially where I could be standing there, reading the ingredients and admiring, and dreaming that I would buy them all for my own kitchen one day. Well, I don't have a kitchen yet (my house isn't ready yet) but now I tried not to spending too long in the market for particular aisle because the shopaholic in me would just grab it and that would cost a bomb later at the check out counter. Sometimes, I lost myself and sneaked in some expensive stuff, well, one or two. I would buy a prime steak meat just to make a sambal daging out of it hehehe. Or the imported milo from Aussie because they tasted better or chocolates/chips or some organic stuff.. It is ok I think to spend a little for some good stuff right? The only thing I contain myself from buying is imported ice cream and juices because we're sharing house at the moment with other kids as well and I prefer not to share those hahaha #kedekut.
I overall think, at least it is good for someone to have a basic cooking skill, for survival. My father could cook too although very rarely but now he would spend his time in the kitchen helping my mother peeling onion. Awww..that is so sweet. I still remember my father fried chicken in a pot when we were little whilst my mother was away for Umrah, hahaha. It was funny, but the logic behind it, it cooked faster and save oil at the same time, smart move, Abah. My grandfather is a good cook, his signature nasi goreng is the best and I am lucky to be able to do it just like his. Even my mother can't, or rather do not want to, I don't know which *rolls eyes* My Atuk could cook dishes especially those sambal and goreng-goreng ones. For gravy-gulai type, he can do it but under supervision of my Nenek from afar. My nenek, of course, hands down to her, the best cook everrrrrr. There are so many dishes I still don't learn yet from her especially those masak lemak cili padi, rendang and complicated ones.
Harap-harap sempatlah, InsyaAllah, Amin. I think cooking is now not only for women, but for men too. Boys should learn how to cook, at least basic ones. Now is easier than ever, there are Google and Youtube. If you can't understand recipe, Youtube it instead and watch step by step, it just no excuse guys..
