Khau Jhum on 30 Sept

Am trying to see if I can prepare the works spread over 2 days instead of 3 days prior to the 'day'. Finding it rather tiring, hectic and achieveable ^_^.

Started with Tuesday's morning, cleaning & deboning the fish; dry frying the cocounut & grinding it finely; and deep frying & packing the keropok in the evening.

Wednesday's morning - purchased the vegetables, plucked & sorted the herbs for the juices for cooking the rice on Thursday; packaging the required packet of budu sauce. In the afternoon, dry frying the deboned fish over low flame. By the time, I finished these, had a quick shower and then off to pick up my son from school. He finishes school every Wednesday at 3.30pm. Only this Wednesday, he bought his lunch from the school canteen.

Today, my dear hubby had an outstation trip. Got up at the wee hour of the morning, cooked the rice, and purchased the bean sprout from Tamu Muhibbah. My son had simple breakfast - cereal & a cup of milo drink. I sent my son to school @ 6.30am. After I dropped my son to school, I started packing and finished @ 9.40am. Then its off to deliver the 'Khau Jhum'. This include delivery for the 'brighton' clients as well - drove a total distance of 42 km from Lutong to Brighton.

Had a new client near GK Supermarket - wonder how she likes 'Khau Jhum'?

Chili - as part of the condiments for 'Khau Jhum'

Just finished pounding one kg of chili as part of the condiments for 'Khau Jhum'. Oh no, the chili is pretty hot! Am having burning sensation on my face and part of my body which I am not able to cover up.

Wish I have a face mask! Any idea where I can buy a face mask to cover my face ^-^?

'Balik Kampung'

Am back from 'balik kampung' with my budu sauce and keropok. Would you believe it - overweight baggage even after buying extra baggage at the last minute - 7 kg excess. Only knew of the excess after my luggages and baggages had gone into the loading zone otherwise would carry-on my son's luggage.

The next leg of journey from Kuala Lumpur to Miri, I carried on my son's luggage. Thank goodness, my budu sauce and keropok arrived in one piece. Guess my packing is able to withstand the minimum of tossing of baggage even with the fragile sticker on the boxes. ^-^

My next biz day will be 30 September with my signature menu 'Khau Jhum'. Have given an advance notice to my clients and received an immediate response of 2 packets. Mmmmm they must be indeed looking forward to it. ^-^
