It’s a saturday and a fasting day in the holy month of Ramadhan. This Ramadhan’s resolution is to loose some weight. I can’t bear to look at those fat clinging on to my body and whenever i walk ..i feel them swaying from left to right . The beautiful part about this year’s Ramadhan is…i begin to develope the love for cooking. Hehhe I’m proud to say that since ramadhan started, I have not even step on the grounds of a Pasar Ramadhan. God…I’m so proud of myself (as usual).
Yep..i cook..i repeat..i cooked all the way. Be it kuih muih or the main dish.
So today..I asked Mr Darcy what he wants to eat and as usual..the common standard answer " hmm up to youlah…I tak kisah".
Pheww that really helps honey!
" mmm do you feel like eating kuih seri muka?",I asked.
Although I’ve never ever in my life make Seri Muka..
Oh my God i must be insane..I should have just told him to buy.
" ok..sounds good!"
Hearing that I jumped off my bed and walked slowly down the stairs heading towards the kitchen. Deep down in my heart i said to myself…wat a fool i am to have offered to make something that i’ve never done.
Picked up the phone and called my Recipe Helpline.
" Ma..what’s the recipe for Seri Muka?"
" Oh..u’re making it?..ok u need …bla bla bla", Mama said.
Wokey..Seri Muka..here I come….

I lifted the "tudung" steamer…and …Oh Man…loads and loads of steam attacked my face…huh..that reminds me…when was the last time i pampered my face with facial treatment?…hmmmm oh yeah….i did it when i wasn’t even pregnant with my second child…Gee…are all moms like me? Putting so much effort to ensure that my "3 loyal customers" are satisfied with my service and because of that i neglected my own aging skin?!!!
Okie dokes..I’ve put in the top layer of the seri muka…closed the lid and waited patiently for the end result.I left the steamer with my specimen in it and went upstairs to perform prayers. After praying i saw my chubby baby sitting on my bed with the "bathe me now mama" look.
After putting on amir’s clothes…eeeekk..i remembered my green specimen in the steamer. I ran down to the kitchen and found the steamer steaming with no water in it!!!. I quikly poured in a big bowl of water and continued steaming. hmmm it’s a sign…a bad sign..
6.45pm…almost buka time. I lifted the lid of the steamer. Well..it looks…errr ok to me. I hope it tastes ok too.
Finally ..it’s buka time….woohooo!.
After the main course..which was..meehoon sup utara…i presented to my Mr Darcy…ze Seri Muka i made. Carefully he took a bite of it….i just stared at him. Then another bite…still nothing came out of his mouth. And followed by another bite…
" Hmmmm I like it..macam Mak selalu buat"
Huh???I stared at him again but this time with my mouth and eyes wide open. Did he just say…it tastes like his mom’s? Oh my GOD!!! I was so happy, excited and speechless…and i felt as though i’m gonna faint when i heard his comment…
Hehehhee…yippeee!!! Thank you Dah-ling for the comment.
So that motivated me to keep on rocking the kitchen. My confidence has increased..i’m looking forward for tommorow, the day after tommorow and the day after the day after tommorow’s buka puasa.Let’s see maybe i’ll try buah gula melaka..tepung talam..kuih ketayap …puding karamel…=)
