Iftar Pak Dollah Air Tawar 4 style

Semalam had the chance to go back to kota tinggi for iftar. And a bit of shopping.
We do go back often since its dekat and secretly, I do it for the inlaws.
FIL n MIL dok berdua je at home and I can tell how lonely they are. Maryam is a therapy for them. its worthwhile to see them laughing at her antics, playing with her. If only I could do the same for my mom. The 500km distance that separates us...haishh..

aaaanyway, kat rumah my in laws food memang always in abundance. Tak pernahnya makanan x cukup or ngam ngam. they always overdo at meal times.taking iftar semalam for example,
the food were;

nasik putih
leftover bihun
ayam masak merah
udang goreng
sotong sumbat
tetel ungkep
kerang sambal (beli)
sayur lemak
telur puyuh sambal (beli)
ikan goreng leftover
almost 6 types of kuih
air teh o, laici, kathira
.
.
and only FOUR people were there.

crazy i'm telling you. My FIL is called pak dollah anyway, hence the title! hahahha
even husband was baffled at how much food there were
I tell you, the inlaws contributes to 40% of me being obese.
the other 60% was my own doing!hahahah
But the best part is we get to bring the food home for sahur.yeah we are cheap (and spoilt)like that. not to mention the tetel ungkep was faaaabbbbbb!

I miss having iftar with my mom. tahun ni mungkin sempat sehari je before raya.
The simplicity of it, my mom worrying if the food tak habis.
I miss home.

baby food recipe!

Seriously, the title above is a joke.
I am a bad cook for adult food, but i am really not bad in the baby food department.
But then again i think this self confidence really come from my baby enjoying the food i made so much.
But then again maybe because she eats anything n everything. (this she takes after me)

Weeeellll, assuming the food is actually goooood, i want to share the meals i made her.
There is no recipe. What kind of misleading title is this ,no? hehehehe

I loooooove feeding her fish though i try my best to stay away from large fish.
Foods that she likes most : fish, broccoli, mushroom (any kind), cherry tomatoes

I normally just dump everything in n add water, voila!
I stay away from salt n sugar so i make sure the vegetables used for the soup/stew has some level of sweetness to them.
I love giving her broccoli, cauliflower, enoki, pumpkin,cherry tomatoes, yellow onion, baby carrots, sweet potatoes, corn for these veggies are sweet on their own.
I always made sure there are at least 3 kind of veggie in one dish.
The combos i like are :

chicken, broccoli, onion, enoki, baby carrots

chicken, potatoes , baby carrots, oyster mushroom, onion

Fish, onion, tatoes, cauliflower, corn (the normal ones, not the baby ones)

beef, shiitake, baby carrots, onion, ginger, tatoes

chicken pumpkin, carrots, onion, cauliflower

well, the combo is endless, though i feel some type of veg n shrooms goes better with some types of protein, and not to have more than 2 sweet tasting veggie in a dish,or it will get a bit confusing for the palate!

once, a makcik comments on how i dont put sugar n salt in baby's meal, like so;

" we need to train their taste buds so that when they get bigger the dont find the salt n sugar taste weird. also they need the vitamin from sugar n salt so their body wont be derived off them"

*awkward silent*

What vitamin la makcikkkk..what are u talking about la..cock n bull.
