Isetan Preview Sale & Sotong Masak Lemak Cili Padi

The truth is, aku tersangatla malasnya nak masak. But I dont have any choice but to cook sebab Hubby still on MC, and now that he's on Champix, keje dia makan je. Makcik Ton pulak telah aku export ke rumah mok sebab rumah mok penuh dengan cucu2, kesian mok, tak terlarat nak melayan cucu yang ramai, boys pulak tu. Dalam keadaan selsema dan sore throat ni, aku gagahkan jugak ke dapur.

Tapikan, hari ni, aku pegi SALE!! hehehe.. sebut je pasal sale, terus bersemangat. Isetan ada preview sale today. Mula2 aku nak pegi beli tear drop bowl by Pyrex which was being sold from RM29-34 depending on sizes. Pastu rasa macam membazir pulak. Bowls Pyrex kat rumah dah banyak sangat, kat mana aku nak sumbat kalau aku beli lagi bowl tu. Terus tak jadi nak tambah collection bowl aku.

We (mok, aku and hubby) went there at 10am. Bersemangat betul aku nak bershopping. Our 1st stop was kat tempat luggage. A set of 2 luggage bags (20" and 24") was selling at RM200. We bought 1 set. Luggage bag aku yang aku beli more than 15 years ago, dah tercabut tayar. Seksa nak mengangkut barang with bag yang tak bertayar. So kiranya that purchase was a necessity.. hehehe.. acceptable ke?

Pastu our next stop was kat tempat handbags. Mok has been wanting to buy a leather handbag. So tadi we managed to buy a Guy Laroche handbag at RM350. It was on 60% sale. Then mok belikan adik aku, Ayu, a Guess handbag for RM360. Guess handbag tu was on 40% sale. Then we went to children's department. Hubby bought a Rayban sunglasses for RM200. Masa we all sampai tu, dah almost 11am. Tak banyak choice dah tinggal for the Rayban sunnies. According to the sales person kat situ, ada sorang ni, pukul 10am dah terpacak kat kaunter sunnies tu, borong 10 pieces of Rayban sunnies. Without sale, the price ranges between RM600-900. Aku rasa mcm melampau betul orang tu, borong sampai 10. Dah la sunnies to limited to 30 pieces je. Ishk! kalau aku ada kat situ, memang aku sound kaw kaw punya.

Lepas dah beli barang2 for the kids, kita orang pegi kat supermarket. Aku takde la borong banyak pun sebabnya aku dah borong few days ago kat Sogo masa ada sale. Mok bought some fruits, aku beli sushi je. Then kita orang queue kat Express counter. Punya la panjang queue, ada la dalam 30 orang. The express counter cuma untuk bayar 5 items and below je. Counter2 lain semua penuh sesak dgn orang yang nak membayar. Masa aku queue tu, tiba2 ada sorang pompuan ni, cakap kat aku, "This counter is for 5 items and below only.". Aku pandang minah tu, and cakap, "Yes I know. I only have four items, and the rest belong to my mom." (aku letak barang aku and barang mok together dalam trolley)... Then dia cakap, "Oh! sorry ye". I was like.. rasa mcm nak je cakap, "I can read you know, I'm not blind, nor am I ignorant like some people". Tapi aku malas nak panjang kan.. EEE.... geram betul!!

Esok aku akan post gambar Ray-Ban sunny yang hubby beli tu. Now, aku post gambar Sotong Masak Lemak Cili Padi yang aku masak semlm. Hubby loves it! Dia tambah 3 kali nasik... Nampaknya lepas ni, memang aku takleh masak sedap2 la.. bahaya ....

My version of sotong masak lemak ni, sangat2 simple.

Bahan2
1kg sotong XL - bersihkan, potong 3, toskan.
1/2kg santan
1 batang serai
1 helai daun kunyit - koyak2kan

bahan tumbuk/blend
6 ulas bwg merah
4 ulas bwg putih
3 inci lengkuas
15 biji cili padi
1 inci kunyit/1 tsp kunyit serbuk
garam, gula

cara2
1. didihkan santan bersama bahan tumbuk. kacau santan sentiasa, jangan bagi berketul.
2. bila santan dah mendidih, masukkan sotong, serai dan daun kunyit.
3. masak for about 8 minit, masukkan garam dan gula, boleh hidangkan.

Sotong kalau terlalu lama atas dapur, akan jadi kecut dan keras. So, kalau nak masak sotong, make sure cooking time to just right. Selamat mencuba! :D
