Bag of Goodies

Had a pleasant surprise yesterday, when we got a bag of goodies from Denso, Bangi at the toll plaza. There was rather a long queue at an off peak time leading to the 'tunai' lane. My children were saying this might be due to people balik kampung for Raya (and we were heading home after school!!). Nope, it was not. The cars had to slow down to get the Denso yellow bags.... Filled with road safety pamphlets. Part of Denso's corporate social responsibility.

We'll be heading to our kampung soon, and will see if we're lucky to get any goodies along the way. :-)

Selamat Hari Raya to all and take care.

Nasi Ulam


We had a simple nasi ulam for berbuka yesterday. The nasi was the usual boiled white rice without any santan added (some recipes use santan). The ulams were either from our backyard garden or bought. The ones that we used were serai kayu, daun gajus (Noni), limau purut, daun sambung nyawa, selasih (basil), mint and we had to get bunga kantan from the sundry shop. All were finely sliced plus also some onions and desicated coconut (tumbuk halus sikit with garam and some people guna gula merah jugak).

My other half brought home 4 ikan keli from Beranang, that had already been washed and he prepared them whilst I, fried them! Our 23rd wedding anniversary had no table laden with exotic food but a simple nasi ulam which each and everyone of us enjoyed!
