Kitchen is the heart of the home!
Dulu tok aku suka juga cakap "Orang pompuan ni belajaq pi la tinggi mana kena jugak kona mai masuk dapoq"
...itu beberapa top mentioned statements yang at first aku ingat just complaints jer tapi sebenarnya ada udang di sebalik batu tau. She wanted me to cook for her. Sebenarnya time tu aku still take it lightly ingat kalau dan dengan masa yang ada aku masak la untuk dia, rupanya...no,no, Iliani. She expecting breakfast before she off to playschool and dinner when she came back from playschool. OMG!!!!!!!!
AM I READY??? - tu la persoalan aku but bila dia dah kerap compare environment here in KL dengan Aloq Staq anda rasa saya ada masa untuk berfikir. The answee is NO! It's time to jump into action ja.
So, aku start slowly (super slowly) with simple-simple dishes jer and luckily taste preference #keishakhadeeja ni acah-acah mat saleh so quite easy to start on. Tau la kan asian dishes high standard - rasa, aroma dengan herbs and spices tu mesti ngam, baru rasa dia kaw.
So among my very first dishes for her was...beetroot sandwich and she loves it so much even today and easy to prepare as well.
At a glance, semua bahan2 yang digunakan adalah...
Teringat balik time ni, nak sediakan semua ni terhegeh2 and ambil masa almost sejam juga la. #keishakhadeeja muka tahan lapar ja. Nevertheless, ni la beginning journey of #ilianishomecooking and aku hargai segala bentuk positive pressure for my little one sebab dia aku berani cuba keluarkan diri aku dari comfort zone.
"Agree or not?"
Aku pun betui2 belajaq to appreciate my kitchen when back then my first kid moved to stay with me.

Sebelum-sebelum tu memang ada masak but lebih kepada masak bila lapar or rasa bosan tak tau nak buat apa and tetiba ter-spark idea nak masak something.
Ok balik cerita my first kid #keishakhadeeja...
Her first 3 years was with my husband and parents back in Aloq Staq. And my mom is the best cook (of course semua mak kita is the best, kan!)
Mak aku a.k.a maktok kesayangan dia ni akan masak ikut selera dia and she just named it and zassssss maktok dah siapkan for her and my mom memang let her be in the kitchen and involved in cooking. So, bg dia kitchen is a her playspace too.
So, when she moved to stay with me, first few days dia macam OK dengan lifestyle aku yang kadang-kadang sempat aku akan masak and tak sempat tapau apa dia nak makan la. Her favourite food is Subway Sandwich Tuna.
After two weeks macam tu dia start with...
"Mama, you don't like to cook like maktok?"
"Mama, maktok said if we eat out, I wont become a cleaver girl"
"Mama, I miss maktok's cooking"

- Roti sapu unsalted butter and bakar (aroma and kerangupan dia budak2 memang suka)
- Sosej ayam (time ni masih beginner. Beli dada ayam tapi tunggu nak defrost lambat giler and she superb hungry). TIPS here which am doing it now, beli dada ayam perap siap2 and defrost sekali bahan. Nak makan for dinner pagi before keluar pergi kerja turun kat separa seju. Balik just grill it.
- Daun salad
- Capsicum/cili benggala hijau
- And last mesti la beetroot, dia tak dak rasa pun cuma girl suka sebab dia purple with bit pinkish. Yang ni aku selalu buat sama ada bakar the whole ubi atas api or pan fried bg dia lembut.
