Last night something happened that made me feel menggelupur to the max, takde kaitan dengan hantu. Tapi mama tak balik satu hari, enough to make me meroyan the whole night.
But I do not want to focus on that because if I do, I won’t be able to sleep. Which is not good because a ting tong chics is an angry chics, plus I need to settle a number of stuff the next day.
So to divert myself, I start to think about all those things that make me happy. Termasuklah 2 ekor kucing aku dan makanan. Tapi lama-lama fikir makanan menyebabkan aku sangat craving.
Tiba-tiba teringin gila umai and kacang ma.
The problem is, these two dishes can only be found in Sarawak.
Kacang ma is a herb, green colour. From my reading, it is usually served to ladies during their confinement. Selalunya orang akan letak white wine/tuak as one of the ingredients.
Tapi bila mak mertua aku masak untuk aku hari tu, she omitted the alcohol and add lots of ginger instead.
I fucking love it!!
Umai is a food from the Malanau. It is something like sashimi tapi the fish are not totally raw, macam half raw kot sebab kena perah dengan asam limau, cili and other ingredients sampai dia macam terfermented [aku rasalaa, tak sure]
I’ve never tried umai previously, not until my recent trip to Kuching. While staying at Damai, we decided to try one of the restaurant; Treez. I ordered umai and nasi goreng dabai. The nasi goreng was so so [the one at the homestay memang unbeatable!] but the umai totally blew me out.
Masam, berperisa kemudian di cicah dengan sambal kicap yang pedas. Fuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Berpeluh aku makan, tapi habis jugak.
Jadi ye, malam semalam aku berjaya distract otak aku dari berasa anxious memikirkan soal mama.
Tapi akhirnya aku tetap sakit otak sebab aku rasa lapar yang amat sangat. Hoh!
P/S. Mama came home this morning :)
