Great Kelantan's food

Sunday, 14 October 2007
I was so tired having traveled in the car for 6 hours (reaching Gunong at about 10.30pm last night). But at least, the traveling hours is shorter since the road is clear no traffic jam. I was told by Farah (my sis in law) that the day she went back, it was a hell of a jam. They left KL at 3.30 am and reaching Gunong (Bachok Kelate) at 5 pm! I had experienced this last year. NO THANKS for facing it again!

The next morning on second day of Raya, my mom in law made nasi dagang. I have to compliment her ikan tongkol masak lemak. Memang sedap! Normally I will not add more nasi but I had to this time (it's fat consumption day mah...hehehe). While in the afternoon, we were treated with laksam (Kelantan’s famous food - a flour in the form of Kuih Teow and eaten with fish gravy, slices of cucumber and herbs). I have never tasted the gravy that nice, having so much of ikan flesh made it more sedap. I am worried if I gain weight. I need to maintain my ideal weight which I have successfully achieved during the puasa month (dropping by 10kg) . Che ’ah (my hubby’s aunt) invited to her house right after his uncle’s house. Eventhough no doubt her cooking is good but I was too full with nasi dagang and laksam. Instead I watched this movie acted by Saiful Apek…hehehe I just love his jokes…..gitu, gitu!

We reached home in the evening. But got scolded by my hubby’s cousin (Kak Mah) for leaving Che Yah at her brother’s house. When we left his uncle's house, Che Yah was praying hence Kak Mah suggested that Che Yah followed another group of family who will be going to my mom in law’s house BUT she didn’t! I am very well aware it was not my fault. Leave it as that and it’s not up for debate.
