Sambal belacan...

“The more one judges, the less one loves…” - Honoré de Balzac


Last night, hubby complained again of his headache. The persistent pain started right after his deep water fishing outing with friends last weekend. Our initial diagnose was heat stroke, nothing more. While massaging his neck I complained of pain in my wrist.
'
‘Pasal tumbuk sambal belacan tadi…’
‘Sedap sambal belacan you, yang..’
‘A ah.. Sara pun menjilat jari he he..’
''

I have not tasted my own sambal belacan for a very long time and this is the first time I am using my new lesong. It is big and heavy. They said Penang makes the best belacan but I was using Melaka made this time with fresh red chilies, generous squeeze of lime and a pinch of sugar.

This morning before subuh prayer, hubby was in the wash room longer than usual. I peeked and saw him, one hand massaging his head and the other, rubbing his tummy.
''
‘sakit perut pulak, yang…’
‘mesti sebab makan my sambal belacan malam tadi.. he he’
''

With his current condition, how to enjoy this long weekend...

  8. Kesian ada dan nak tergelak pun ada bila baca post you ni.Siksa lah hubby you tu kena attack atas bawah.
    Hubby I ore utara, klu makan sambal tak bubuh belacan,just chili padi and asam limau.Klu nak makan sambal,dia tak sebut sambal belacan,dia kata tumbuk cabai melaka meaning chili padi.
    Nevermind nong, still can enjoy a quiet weekend at home sweet home..

  10. Ummi,
    Pasal dah berkurun tak buat sambal belacan, bila cuba buat dah jadi macam ni, malas nak buat lain kali.. he he…

    Kalau nak rasa sambal kak nong datang ler ke rumah…

    Babee,
    Apa tak ’terrer' nye. Tugas aku dulu buat sambal belacan tiap2 hari. Sambal tumis aku pun ok gak... Perut Abg Mus tu lain macam sejak dua menjak ni…

    Bila nak buat gathering lagi, boleh aku masak2…

    *****
    pB,
    orghe klatae mano makae sambal belacae ! sambal tumih pon banyok gula dari lado he he... kak nong minat solok lado…

    *****
    zino,
    memang lah sodap. Itu sobab makan sampai sakit perut. Meragam dua tiga hari tak baik2 lagi. he he...

    *****
    aNIe ,
    Itu kak nong tak pakai cili padi lagi, kalau tidak, lebih menyengat lagi perut tu… kak nong bab cili padi ni memang suka, lagi2 masak lemak… yum yum…

    *****
    Madam,
    He he … kena attack atas bawah yang nak tergelak tu. Sambal tak ada belacan, takleh panggil sambal belacan. Cili padi and asam limau tu sedap kalau makan dengan ikan bakar. Kena bubuh gula lagi best...

    Sakit perut pun, we had a good quiet weekend at the kebun…

    *****
    sue,
    Memang sekarang ni musim perut meragam. Perut kak nong pun sensitive kalau makan pedas2 ni.

    Doktor kata lining perut dah nipis… he he…

  12. Mama,
    kak nong pun sama. Ingat over long weekend ni nak menjamu selera ikan bakar di Melaka ke, mee bandung muar ke, tapi oleh kerana perut meragam tak dapat nak enjoy...

    Even balik rumah my mak pun, jamah sikit je ketam masak cili padi, selalu belasah satu periuk... he he...

  13. Hi Nong, first of all its not the belachan made in Malacca or Penang or Sitiawan, but the cook and her recipie, ha ha.

    Hey, get your hubby go see a doctor.
    He shouldn't be having a headache lasts overnight.
    Please make him go see doctor.

    When was his last complete medical checkup? X-ray, blood test, urine test, bowel test, etc etc?
    Best go for checkup ASAP, Nong.
    Best regards, Lee.

  14. Lee,
    You sounds like a doctor lah... Actually it is about time we go for our full medical check-up but we want to delay to after our long holiday in June.

    We don't want the results to spoil our holiday... he he...
