not nigella's kitchen

If a klutz who can't dance is called a person with two left feet, what is a person who is entirely hopeless in the kitchen called? Two lefts spatulas ke, two left woks ke I was that once upon a time.

No, no I am not claiming to be a nigella or kylie kwong but I guess boleh lah...Edible lah, makan tak matinye. Sakit perut tak jamin though....

And through this never ending learning process I call whomever available or who has mastered the recipe (mother in law lah, sisters in law lah, sister lah, mother lah, friends lah) on how to cook a certain dish. And I just hate it when they go "Aiyah, so easy lah...", "Alah, senang jer..."

Memang lah easy if that is your signature dish & you have been cooking it donkey years or that is all you ever cook when the family comes back. But for someone who is just learning it or trying it for the first time, not so easy lah kan??

So next time I happen to call you to ask how to cook something, say "Aiyah, senang jer tu.." and see what happens...
