Mysanc's take on cooking

Mak was rushing to finish her cooking. Bapak was waiting outside, all set to go to the 'kebun' (orchard) to swing some 'cangkul'(hoe) and sabit.{ Nothing comes between Bapak and his 'golfing'.No, no! Mak's not the caddie. She's the swing consultant!}

Mak: Alamak. Dah lambat ni. Siapa nak buat sambal kicap?

mysanc:Meh mysanc tolong buatkan...

Mak:Haha. Lawak...

{mysanc found the situation hilarious, too}

It's not that mysanc is as blind as a bat {only rabun ayam lah}when it comes to cooking. It's just that Mak only allow her 'air tangan' in preparing meals for the family. As a result cooking by the rest of the family member is viewed as personal activity limited to the person's desires and consumption requirement only. But Mak expects that a plate of anything that her kids prepared would be reserved for her. Bapak wouldn't touch our labour with a ten-foot pole.

As for mysanc, cooking is more like:
1)physics experiment
- that merengue really does defy gravity {It's a wonder really that mixture of beaten egg whites whipped with sugar can really achieve such feat}.

2)having a bite of something that Mak doesn't bother to prepare; 'Bawal Masam Manis', Spaghetti,Pizza (well, more like Apam Pedas),'Murtabak Maggie'(Pokchu's specialty),Chiffon Cake{well, you can't waste the merengue, can you?), etc.

{mysanc once caught Pokchu sprinkling some tumeric powder onto the omelette he was preparing:

mysanc:Pasal apa taruk kunyit ?

Pokchu: Biar telur ni kuning...

mysanc: Haha. Lawak...

}

Once the dish has been approved by Mak to be included into the Family's menu, Mak would enquire about the ingredient and the method,and would take over any future endeavour of that particular dish.Mak once learnt from Mr Barney's Papa on how to prepare 'Ayam Kurma' and modified mysanc's method of 'Bawal Masam Manis'.

The only thing that prevented mysanc from joining the 'Tapau Nation' is that Mak insisted that we eat home-prepared food. mysanc doesn't have the heart to eat outside when Mak make it her mission to wake up at 4.30 am to prepare mysanc's takeaway to work.
