Salam,
Ok people one of the things which I love to do is cooking. When I was done with my SPM and hung out at home most of the time, I was trained by my beloved Mum, Ummi to cook Malay cuisine; usually with a touch of extra spice and hotness since it is a Minang kitchen :p

I even made my own 'recipe book' which consists of the photos of each and every dish taught by Ummi and their recipes of course. Since now is the holidays, which enables me to be a more frequent inhabitant of the kitchen, I think perhaps it would be a good idea to take step by step photos of how to cook these everyday dishes (according to what we prepare on that day) for the viewers of The Real Curhat Sue. Who knows that you might be interested to try these simple but insya Allah tasty dishes taught by Ummi. FYI, Malay cuisine is not that difficult to prepare as it seems, in fact once you try it, it is actually pretty easy. According to my personal opinion, cooking is only tough to those who are to afraid to attempt (or most of the time they are just plain lazy to cook!) cooking :p

So insya Allah, I'll try my best to update the recipes (if I am not lazy to update) and I'll prepare the recipe both in English and Bahasa Melayu titled under 'Dari Dapur Ummi!' (From Ummi's Kitchen!' :) What else, yes MUST REMEMBER that in my household, lesung batu is essential in replacing the blender, because Ummi believes that the mixture of the ingredients are much tastier if you pound them rather than blending them in a blender.

To start, below is the recipe of Kacang Buncis Tumis (Fried French Beans) which we cooked today. Hopefully it'll become menjadi if you try them and hopefully you would enjoy them :)
