Penat pula rasa selepas berjam2 mengacau dan menunggu daging Rendang Kasturi tadi empuk. Mana tak lama, saya slice daging tu tebal2... lambat la ia nak empuk. Tetapi kalau hiris nipis2 daging jadi keras dan kurang sedap. So nak tak nak, kena sabar menunggu daging tu empuk. Kalau nak kurangkan masa memasak, guna daging batang pinang, atau gunakan pressure cooker. Kalau guna pressure cooker, bila dah empuk dagingnya tinggal keringkan kuahnya dan masukkan daun limau purut serta kecilkan api untuk bagi naik sikit minyaknya. Masakan Melayu ni selalunya cantik kalau naik minyak pada lauk pauk yang kita masak tu.
I love cooking as compared to baking. Why? Cooking consume so much less time in contrary to baking. Most of my dishes are quick-cooking. I usually come up with a new recipe at the moment I start cooking. I don't really like to be in the kitchen for too long. I think it makes me fat just by inhaling the aroma of all those tasty food thus disliking long hours in the kitchen. However, some meals need longer time to cook for example the rendang I cooked earlier this afternoon. Meat usually takes longer to cook as opposed to fish, squid, shrimp, chicken but meat like beef and lamb cooking produce very delicious meals.
My cooking usually takes short preparation and cooking time, I could create anything out nothing. Baking, on the other hand, requires measurement. One wrong measurement would spoil ur baking product. Besides, it takes quite a while to finish baking and it devours your electricity consumption! That, I had experienced when I was really into baking pies at one time.
I'm not a great baker, but I bake for fun and self-satisfaction. I don't bake anything classified as intermediate level and above. Cooking is more of a passion to me and I think I will stick to that for now. Baking?...errr... bake the chicken, pie, meat, fish, I would do that anytime...baking cakes...simple ones yes. Susah2 punya... I kena consider banyak kali dulu. :-)
