Sup Ketam Berapi

Salam..



Berjumpa lagi..actually the idea to share this recipi datang lepas masak sup tersebut. Almost a week a go tekak ni rasa nak makan udang galah jer.. Kat Alor Gajah ni bukan cam Tk Intan kalau gi pasar gerenti jumpa. Menyedari hakikat itu maka terpaksa le tukar kepada ketam jelah.



On Friday aritu , member ajak gi Kuala Sg Baru yang sememangnya terkenal dengan jualan ikan-ikan segar dll. Lepas breakfast yg udah nak masuk tengahari tu kami pon terus saja ke sana.



Sampai di pasar yang mengadap laut Selat Melaka dengan deretan bot-bot nelayan di hadapannya membuat hati rasa begitu seronok untuk membeli-belah. Melangkah jer kat kedai yang pertama terus nampak ikan besar ala-ala ikan duri aka mayong. Apalagi aku terus jer tanya telur ikan. Malang sekali si peniaga tu kata abang dia dah ambik telur ikan tu. Ah!!! melepas lagi ...



Lepas menjengah kat gerai sebelah nampak ler selonggok ketam bunga yang bersaiz sederhana.
Memang sedap dan sesuai sangatlah di buat sup ketam-ketam tersebut. Okay pada sesiapa yang ingin mencuba sup ketam ni boleh ler ikut resipi ini.

Bahan-bahan:

3 - 4 ekor ketam saiz sederhana
1 labu bawang besar holland
3 ulas bawang putih
1 inci halia
4 tangkai cili kering ( kalau nak pedas boleh tambah lagi)
2 tangkai daun selasih (Thai basil)
daun bawang utk hiasan
sedikit serbuk lada sulah
garam secukup rasa
Sedikit minyak untuk menumis
Air lebih kurang 1 liter ( nak lebih kuah boleh tambah air)

Cara memasak:

1. Bersihkan ketam dan potong 2 badannya
2. Potong bawang besar kepada lapan bahagian, hiris halia dan bawang putih
3. Tumiskan bawang besar, bwg putih dan halia sehingga wangi
4. Masukkan air dalam bahan-bahan tumisan, biarkan mendidih. Lepas tu masukkan ketam, lada sulah, daun basil, cili kering dan garam. Apabila ketam sudah masak masukkan daun bawang dan ianya sedia untuk dihidangkan.

Selamat mencuba

Basil leaves

My lil bike

Aha!!!! Finally i've purchased by dream bike..the Solaris.. As a beginner i assume it's suitable for me as i'm on a very thight budget. Early morning about 9a.m dah kuar rumah and heading to Bandar Melaka. On the way call up my agent to collect the claim form. Meeting point is at Subaidah, Jln Hang Tuah. After finishing 1 capati and still empty i've ordered for 1 piece of plain roti canai. There... the boy coming with a blurred face together with the claim form. Without any delay me and J straight to the bike shop.

We promised to Loi (the shop owner) that we'll be back to get the bike..today around 11a.m we're there. I chose the blue and silver solaris LeRun bike..the one that surveyed was white in color but today it turn up to be blue & silver..tapi tak kisah ler cantik jugak and it really look macho..hahaha..

Before taking home my new bike i had asked Loi to put on the lights on the bike. It will help me to cycling during night time later on. Loi is an active cycler, he's member of the environmentalist cycling club in Melaka. Good to know him..

With the total pice of RM 565, i took home the Solaris, luckily J drove his van for this purpose. Now i'm very proud of myself to have the bike as my new activity. Unfortunately, i did not get myself the helmet today. Tomorrow i'm heading to Masjid Tanah to find one..
