Kerja and weekdays cooking. Resipi sambal kicap johor dan soto ayam!

Hi uols.

Assalamualaikum!

Ready for a long diwale hols? Im taking a day off on Monday! So we'll have a 4 days off! Coincidentally, Iman's school is off on monday as well so the unplanned cuti was unavoidable pun :) So let's all cheer up and celebrate! hehehe

These few weeks were really stressful. I had tones of work with tones of things to think of and analyze which needs time and brain use. So each day i came back home really tired. And doze off immediately on the couch 6.30-7.30 sometimes 8! Oh my. Then barulah i start cooking. Penat2, kalau masak for me is always a kind of therapy. Last two days i made ayam goreng kfc style. Smlm i made mihun soto! haaaa..tetiba je dah siap! terkejut my hubs..haha. I guess kadang2 bila stress the adrenaline pumps much faster. The rush makes you really do things quickly and somehow better. Betul tak.

Guys really dont get it kan when girls multitask. I can do few things simultaneously on my pc and still deliver the results as expected. And they are like, hey takbuat kerja ke? Padahal kita baru abes analyze data yg dia dh 3hari 3mlm hadap x paham2. you get what i mean? Lepastu sibuk nk kata kita. I bet every girl knows that guys a really great gossipers as well, betul tak? Working in a guy's world mmg kena hadaplah hari2 mcm ni. 

The thing is, i love my job. I can be happy on mondays doing my job but i really dont like to show it sebab nanti im the only pelik one. kikikiki. I love doing things at my discretion and judgement, that is a big freedom of choice i have. My boss is not the boss from hell tho sometimes i hate him and i feel he secretly hates me..hahaha. But he lets me do things the way i think and that's really really great. So yeah, the pay is the pay lah..dont expect 5figures in 10years, and marketing is doing nothing but yeah i like what i do, and that matters.

It's friday kan? Byk lah sikit bebel. Malas nk keluar lunch etc coz smlm dh puas bersushi. btw the rm3 per plate sushi king galore ended yesterday so nothing to hail out here dh today. hahaha. byk dh cerita, lets share the simplest soto recipe and sambal kicap ala johor that i used. boleh try nanti tau.

SAMBAL KICAP JOHOR

• Dengan menggunakan lesung, tumbuk 15biji cili padi, 3 ulas bwg putih dan satu biji kecil bawang merah.
• Tumiskan dlm sedikit minyak hasil tumbuk td hingga keperangan dan angkat
• Campurkan kicap, garam, gula dan air secukup rasa.

KUAH SOTO
