hungryyyyy... want nasi lemak sambal kerang. i'd make some myself but i don't think i can stand frying the sambal, plus no kerang.

and i'm still thinking of my friend bai's mom's perut masak lemak cili padi. and paku pakis masak lemak...

nothing of my mom's yet... oh, oh... my dad's maggi goreng.

ah, the cravings have kicked in eh? must be doubly challenging sbb semua kena masak sendiri kat sana..unlike here, where u can just pop out n search for some good ol' nasi lemak sambal kerang...

i don't know what to suggest tho u cud try to make ur own versions of those foods when the loya goes away eh? but do eat healthy stuff like lotsa green veggies, fresh OJ (that's not hard to find in the US!), milk and fish--sardines and salmon are good..all that, i am told, is good for the baby :-D

P/S Bai's mom's masak lemak is DA BOMB..teringat kat masak lemak cili padi tempoyak n petai dia yg den makan kek kolo pilah! mmmh!

oops, sorry win..hope i didn't jumpstart a new craving.. :-D

am currently eating nasi goreng from the chinese place.

oh, win tak makan tempoyak but bai's mom's masak lemak is world class!!!

ahhh kak ellie, i'm about to melt reading your comment... tersangat la interestingnye. let's discuss bila masa sesuai : )... when is a good time for u dear??

i thought i could be strong tapi nampaknye kalah la dgn constantly pikir pasal makanan. kak ellie takde rasa macam nie masa mengandung ke??

Laa.. ciannyer dia. Nanti ler emmy carik kot2 I still have kerang somewhere. But if you go to Oriental store.. usually ada the thai version of sambal kerang. In the little can (like tuna can). The can color is pink. It's from Thai.. i think brand dia ada logo smiling fish, if I'm not mistaken. The taste is oklaa.. kalau setakat nak lepaskan craving for kerang tuh.. :)

Win,
Hope you are doing alright :) Craving dua benda baru ye? :)

win said...

ok kak ellie,
but let me confirm2 ok. let me talk to chot. dia pun agak sibuk sekarang nie. looking forward to ur cooking!!!

hey lin!!!
wuzzup!!! i send u an email eons ago to tell of baby news. must be tak check & busy.

hey, u guys duduk malaysia for good is it?? that is so cool. i envy the yummy food, kadang2 dread going to ur website bila ada gambar2 makanan, torture lin!!!

anyways, i try very hard not to think of yummy malaysian food, tapi ada la food yang degil tak mau leave me alone. i know i can think of more i want, but that would just torturing myself.

Laa.. kalau ada kerang boleh laa buat sambal kerang untuk Win..:)
And yeah.. I do have sebungkus lagi kerang. Kalau rajin.. turun ler sini from Omaha tuh. Or kalau lagik rajin.. mai ler sini on another weekends pulak hehe... ajak kak Eli sekali. Since my mum is still here.. boleh ler nak order anything yang emmy & madi tak boleh masak.. ;-)

win said...

hey emmy,

oh, u made me torn here, interesting... rasa nak pi sana pun iye. mak emmy boleh masakkan good stuff.

i know u asked me apa win terasa when u guys were coming to waterloo dulu, tapi i was trying to be strong and not be mengada2 mintak itu & ini. but now, macam2 win dok terkenang...

but we kindda have to be careful about travel & money... that nilai house of ours is making hidup sempit. kalau takde that mortgage on our head, every weekend kitaorang town hopping cari malaysian food : )...

bila mak emmy balik?? dah comfirm tiket?? maybe we can go visit, tapi tak leh nak janji ok. errmmm... maybe kalau mak emmy sudi buatkan nasi dagang, win ngan tak pikir panjang, pack bag sekarang jugak... hehehe... (joke 98%, truth 2%)
