Cooking Is Just Campak2.. NOT!

Assalamualaikum..

Good Day Everybody!

I am not a good cook.. used to be so rajin in the kitchen in the uni years but not so nowadays.. bahaha.. but still, cooking is actually fun. it would be funner if you have somebody to help to prepare the ingredients and clean the utensils afterwards.. -_-*..

Well, so far i have experimented a few recipes in the kitchen.. i am not creative in cooking i must say. i follow the recipe exactly the way it is supposed to be. hence, cook books or downloaded recipes are definitely a big no-no.. i think the chefs who prepared the recipes assumed that everyone knows how to cook and cooking is just common sense.. I tell you IT IS NOT! i just hate it when people tell you that it is easy to cook because it is just campak2.. you need to follow some steps right because you could not possibly put in the chicken before the blended chilli paste is totally ready in the pan.. seeeeee? so don't tell a beginner like me that cooking is just throwing in the ingredients.. chaitt!

Therefore i strongly advocate for seeing is believing.. I asked my mum and dad how to prepare the dishes because they would tell me the exact measurement of something like the santan to cook fish curry.. the spices that you used to tumis something before you cook.. when to put in the ingredients.. what should go in first and what should come last.. things like that.. about the measurement of the ingredients, i don't get it if it's in the metric system.. hahaha.. i get the measurement from the mangkuk and the koleh that we have in the kitchen.. that works wonders tahu!

probably your cooking skills are far more advanced than i am and probably you have reached the stage of campak2 when you cook your dishes.. have a little compassion for the beginners like me. i mean be specific when you wanted to share some recipes online ok. because i might be interested to try but probably i just don't know how to do it.. haha..
