Anak mencari ibu| Baby search for mother

Bapa, ibu dan anak berkumpul | Father, mother and new born baby reunites

We went to Langkawi and of course we visited my uncle who owns a resort there. 

He also conducts cooking sessions for tourists who interested in traditional Malay cuisines. I did saw about him in magazine/TV but never had a chance to tell him about it.

Visiting them are always interesting, island life, everyday looks like they're on vacation even though it is work for some. 

We stopped by at the resort but didn't visit his Malay designed house which is beautiful to many. 

At that time, the resort was almost ready, we listened about their plan about the end of  the village resort. Kind of impressive as they received bookings from all over the world. The cooking session is `Cook with Shuk'. the resort name is Hujung Kampung Resort. 

On the way back to our hotel, we bumped into a 'happy family', adik was so excited calling 'sweety, sweety, sweety' to the mother, and more overwhelmed when the baby walked slowly to join his mama, could see adik was enlighted how she expressed it, it's the best stop ever for us, not the zoo, not the safari but real life by the village road side. 

Let's prepare for a happy holiday. ❤️

Kami pergi ke Langkawi dan semestinya melawat pakcik saya yang mempunyai sebuah resort yang bernama Hujung Kampung Resort. 

Pakcik saya juga membuat kelas memasak makanan melayu tradisional buat pelancong pelancong yang berminat iaitu 'Cook with Shuk". Pernah melihat di majalah/televisen berkenaan pakcik saya tetapi tak berkesempatan untuk memberitahunya lagi. 

Melawat mereka memang menarik, kehidupan pulau setiap hari adalah ala percutian, walau kerja kata mereka.

Kami singgah di resort yang hampir siap masa tu, tak sempat singgah di rumah pakcik yang berkonsep rumah melayu lama untuk kali itu. 

Kami mendengar  perancangan terakhir pembinaan resort yang berkonsep percutian di dalam kampung, terpegun kerana ramai dari luar negara telah membuat tempahan awal.

Semasa menuju pulang ke hotel, kami terserempak dengan 'keluarga yang cantik dan bahagia', adik begitu teruja siap  memangil 'sayang, sayang, sayang' bila ternampak si ibu. Lagi kagum dan teruja bila ternampak si anak berjalan ke ibunya, aha baby iaitu si anak yang baru lahir katanya, meh ke ibu, come to mama, kesian pula bila dengar balik terlalu ceria penuh expressi bila suka hati.

MashaAllah! Begitulah kami terasa rezeki tak sangka dapat dinikmati memerhati keluarga ini bukan di zoo atau safari tapi kehidupan sebenar di tepi jalan.

Jom rancang percutian yang indah ❤️

Waiting for food | Menanti makanan

Water cress/ Pegaga

Membuat pesanan, Menunggu

Order and wait

Menapak, mengambil  pula

It was a beautiful morning, but I was not so hungry. However, I had a craving for an authentic Malaysian food from a  restaurant at the nearby mall. 

As for mall outlets, normally we only can place order at 10 am.  

The restaurants that cater breakfast really early in the morning are only few that I knew of. Indian nasi kandar food which also known as restaurant mamak provides early  morning meal; Or elsewhere there are McDonald's or Coffee Bean & Tea leaf and even Starbucks.

 

I'm craving for food from the shop at the mall, but they don't open until 10 am. While waiting, I went to the kitchen and take out the garbage from two bins and in the basket for recycle items. The feeling of taking out the garbage its like detox and to make the

house smell good. Went out with the garbage, walked straight to the bin box. 

While walking I saw the pegaga herbs is also a type of water cress blooms beside the grass. I pulled them from the root and transfered to pots. This herb is quite well known for it's 'stay young' properties amongst Malaysians (or elsewhere too?) 

I walked back into the house, washed my hands, and quickly made an order for food. Approximately 20 minutes later, the nasi lemak daun pisang arrived, oh! such a relief and satisfying taste. The reward of patiently waiting.. mmm even birds had early breakfast :) 

Bon appetite! ❤️

Pagi indah yang tak berapa lapar.  Selera dipagi inginkan makanan autentik dari restoran di pasaraya yang berdekatan. Pasaraya hanya akan dibuka pada pukul 10 pagi. 

Restoran yang menyediakan sarapan yang saya tahu, kedai mamak atau nasi kandar, selain dari Mcdonald's atau Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf malahan juga dari Starbucks. 

Dah tekak teringin yang special hari ni jadi saya sanggup tunggu.

Sementara menunggu, saya pergi ke dapur, ambil bungkusan-bungkusan sampah, terus keluar dari rumah dan buang di kotak sampah.

Semasa berjalan balik menghala ke rumah, saya ternampak pokok pegaga merunyut tumbuh bagai cendawan tumbuh lepas hujan. Saya cabut dari akar, pindah anak pokok ke pasu. Herba ini memang terkenal dengan 'awet muda' nya dikalangan warga Malaysia (dan mungkin warga lain juga?) 

Selesai menanam saya masuk dan basuh tangan, terus tekan pesanan. Dalam anggaran masa 20 minit, Alhamdulillah sampailah makanan yang dinanti iaitu nasi lemak daun pisang yang oh! sedap, dan puas hati. Itulah ganjaran bersabar menunggu, mmm.. tengok burung-burung pun dah kenyang. 

Selamat menjamu selera! ❤️
