Mee Siput dan Sambal Goreng Jawa Khas Johor

Yang pernah duduk Johor esp Muar, pasti tahu this food.

Makanan yang di jual di kedai-kedai kat Sekolah, di letak kat atas news paper lama.

Then top up dengan satu sudu sambal kicap or sambal tumis...

Apa cube......

This is Mee Siput special noodle made in Muar, Johor. I used to call it Mee Gelung. Made from special noodle (I don't know) but only people from Johor who made it. None other region ever produce or have Mee Siput factory.

the original look of mee siput, with newspaper as the wrapper

I had this the first time in 2007 when my best college mate brought them in our study group, since then I am so addicted and everyone I knew back to Johor I will ask them to brought me some.

This is how the before fried mee siput looks like. And actually we can use it like other noodle such as Fried Noodle, Sizzling hot plate, or Noodle Soup.

But of course I like it crispy deep fried with sambal tumis as "pencicah"

Enjoy my mee siput at the office.

I bought them already goreng with sambal tumis extra pedas RM 1.50 each

Too lazy to mess around, I smash and mix with the sambal in the plastic

Now, nak tahu where I can get it in Kuala Lumpur?

first time makan sambal goreng paru at friend's open house.

Then I start search website who can send me Sambal Goreng paru online

Another food I knew from Javanese-Johorean is sambal goreng paru Jawa, 

to be honest, this kind of sambal goreng is actually not exist in Java Island Indonesia.

We have sambal goreng kentang, and sambal goreng hati. But not sambal goreng paru. 

Here is sambal goreng Jawa looks like, 

made from Thread Noodle (Sohun), tempe, paru (beef lung), cabbage, long bean, and crispy tofu.

All fried separately, then cook again together with the seasoning.

Don't asked me how... in the cooking that need more than 3 steps, I am fail.

So yes, I ORDER ONLINE... again..!!!

Here is the sambal goreng Jawa looks like

RM 10 / 300 gram.

Boleh makan 3 kali untuk lauk nasi.

Cerita Hari Ini, Cerita Minggu Minggu ini

Tengah malas cerita pasal travel dan makan yang ala-ala heaven, kali ini nak share luahan hati sikit.
Cerita the real me and apa yang sebenarnya hati ini rasa.

Office memang macam tu je... makin hari rasa makin tak best dan meluat kerana bes-fwen dan geng-geng makan berkurang satu demi satu kerana resign, satu melahirkan... satu lagi dah nak pergi.

Awwh..... sedih..?? of course, We life at one roof 8 hours a day, for 5 days a week. Means I spent my time with them more than I spent my time with family. They noticed thing without I told them.


Kepenatan bekerja melanda, mood pun jadi tak ada. Sib baik ada kawan ajarkan berniaga online sebagai pengisi masa. Kalau tak.... huaaah... bosan gila kat ofis ni.


Talk about online shop,
Happy jugak la I got a chance to learn how to sell. Thanks to my officemate yang super inspiring dan rajin mengajar kita macam mana nak berniaga... (bukan senang, bukan instant, dan bukan talent... its a something you need to learn and practice everyday)
Memang memenatkan... memang banyak pening, dan sangat complicated.
Kekadang I think... why lah.. people ni.. rajin sangat nak berniaga just for RM 3 profit.
Untuk nafas pun tak cukup...

My IG Shop yang sangat ku sayang

My Online Shop Address

Having online shop, dah macam having two jobs. Satu adalah kerja pagi yang sememangnya first priority dan Online shop sebagai 2nd job.

Amacam......???? PEEENNAAAAATTTTTT SIOOTTTT
yer... bukan dreaming about money je u ols.... penat itu memang memenatkan.
Luckily, I am surrounding by people who has online shop, real shop and regular job too...
So, tak rasa teruk sangat la. Because when we surrounding by orang-orang yang menderita,
penderitaan kita jadi tak terasa... betul tidak?

Satu niaga kain, satu lagi niaga pandora, dan me adalah pupuk-bawang yang baru cube-cube berniaga body scrub.


First batch of selling, memang tak menjadi huhu.
Semua carut marut tah pi mana. Stock dan duit tak taw kemana larinya....

Anyhow, I am not give up. Because berniaga online ni we learn a lot of thing about reality.
About how "money-is-not-free-petik-dari-pokok"
and how much sacrifice and effort I need to invest to make the business run.
Alhamdulillah, it start establish dan ader je customers yang datang nak beli ini dan itu.


So yeah, macam ini lah most of my daily activity.
Leave the house in Mont Kiara at 7.20 am, take RapidKL no U7 stop in Segambut.
Sampai KTM segambut, naik train until Mid Valley yang sampai sana about 8:30.
Lepas train, sambung balik naik RapidKL ke Old Klang Road.

The journey is not done yet yet, lepas turun dari bas... kena jalan kaki lagi about 500 meters to the office.

Sampai rumah.. mandi, sembahyang, basuh pinggan, masak....

Habis makan je dah pukul 9 malam.

After 9, ingatkan boleh relax eh.... Actually NOT.

Sambil tengok TV, sambil lipat baju... we did promotion dan reply-reply

My daily transportation

Sometimes terfikir juga,
alamak... tak cukup tidur...
alamak... tak cukup makan...
alamak... tak leh focus tengok tivi...
alamak... tak larat nak masak...

but again, its all fun and producing money..
Time cing... cing.. cing... arrived on my account, hilang la sudah kepenatan itu berganti dengan ucapan syukur.

Bersyukur kerana Tuhan bagi saya chance untuk earn rizky lebih...
Bersyukur kerana Tuhan tak bagi saya give up, dan choose untuk kerja lebih daripada melepak main henset...

kan....

Keropok pemberian another IG Shop

 Again, with having a super hectic work and life I learn to appreciate my free time more.
Kalau dulu, minum teh afterwork adalah daily activity yang normal dan "sememangnya macam tu.."
Now I feel that minum teh panas after work memang sangat enjoyable....

.

My mini pleasure collection

Having hot shower is kind of a big relief and enjoyable too...
I feel how happy I am can reach home in one piece, having hot water ready to splash my tired body, remove all my whole day problem.... Replaced with something what so call it...                                  

RELAX AT HOME AND HAVING QUALITY TIME WITH YOUR LOVE ONE

Dulu-dulu, weekend adalah perkara yang membosankan. Tak tahu nak pergi mana,  tawaf kat shopping mall pun dan berkali-kali sampai bosan. Now, weekend is something I really appreciate and look forward....

Jogging, mengemas rumah dan grocery shopping become new thing I really look forward,
Even lipat baju become so stress-relieving... (how weird I am, lol)

Anyway, itu saja yang boleh kita tulis untuk hari ini...
mengarut pun mengarut.... *sabarjela....


Nanti kita tulis lagi yang lain... Eh.... babay....

Stretching Ringgit Without Hurting

World become so expensive, and our buy lists are keep expanding compared to years before.

Bill getting expensive and the "kind-of-bill" is getting way too many.

I remember when I was kid we only pay two bills: Electricity and Phone.

We have jet-pump water to bring spring water out from earth as supply, we have garden to supply daily veggie, etc.

Now the "need-to-pay" list are getting longer year to year start from phone, gas, electric, water, maintenance, astro, internet, car, house, land, plantation, farm, bigger house, travel, etc etc etc... errgghhhhh...  seems like any single kind of salary won't be enough to pay.

I read many blogs about how to stretch the money to fill ALMOST all they need, and still manage to put some change aside.

1. BRING MY OWN COFFEE

Each morning, I commute from home to work. I took three different public transport start from Bus, 

continue to train, then take another bus. In between of waiting my bus I like drink coffee or munch something. Before, it cost me from RM 1.80, Rm 4.00 or even RM 12.00 depend on what I bought. Brought my own coffee only costs me about RM (I don't know) I made at home from my own good 

coffee, proper milk, and a jar..!! By the end of the month, my coin jar filled extra RM 50.00 just because I stop bought coffee from the store. 

2. SAVE THE CONDIMENT I GOT FROM FASTFOOD

At home only me who like to eat with chili sauce, the rest relies on ketchup. It seems to be wasting when I bought a big bottle chili sauce, and left them old which by the end I will throw before even finish it. With keeping condiment from Junk Food I bought, I can have my fresh chili sauce each time I want it.

Nando is also becoming all life time favorite, but call them for delivery when we want to eat 1-2 slices chicken sounds unfair for both the delivery man and for me paying too much delivery charges. One night I tried to imitate the roast chicken using Nando's peri sauces and it came not far away different *wink

I put aside RM 20 / month and say goodbye to both regular bottle of Heinz Chili Sauce and Nando Peri Chicken.

3. BRING MY OWN LUNCH

I need a proper carb and meat in my daily food. To cook them each morning would be a hassle. 

The easiest way to bring lunch is by investing on a nice Tupperware / durable plastic container, cook an extra amount for dinner, chill them, and reheat them on the next day. How much you pay averagely everytime you had a lunch around the office? The cost of lunch variety from RM 5.00 in economic mix rice up to RM 50 in Austin. My average lunch cost me RM 10.00 each day from the local stall. 

By bringing my own lunch, I put aside about RM 100 - RM 200 in one month. Nice, NO...?? 

4. ENJOY THE TROPICAL COUNTRY AND THEIR FREE ENERGY

Malaysia is a crazy hot country, still I wonder why I keep using the electric dryer for many years when nature provide me unlimited heat to dry anything. Start with buying the mobile rack, couple of plastic hanger and find the hottest spot at home, I manage to dry the laundry without electric dryer.

The best spot I found in the house is the spare bedroom window near the air-conditioning exhaust fan. The fan is never ending blow free hot air to the room too, make the drying activity twice faster.

I save RM 40 - RM 50  a month from paying the electric bill.

Not bad eh... 

5. SET AN ONLINE STORE

How much money I spent to purchase junk from online store. Start from craft supply, rubber stamp, cookies, waxing supplies, home-spa supplies, clothes, etc. After that, another question came: we always spent lots of money on online shopping, how about we make money from online shop?

I start setting up my online shop (Instagram) on Feb this year inspired by my officemates, plenty of them having a side business beside of regular job just to keep them RICH and easier to pay all the travelling money. 

Well, my online business doesn't really make me rich nor give me queue customers like iPhone stores in KLCC. But it makes my shopping activities cheaper. Most of them will give me reseller price (30-40% off from the market price) and I can earn a bit to add in money to pay travel expenses, extra food, extra munchies, etc. 

6. START SELLING OR JOIN A BAZAAR

Join a bazaar is kind of a way to make instant money on the weekend. We might be nervous about the cost of becoming a vendor sounds quite expensive (RM 150-RM 350/day) and scared if the sale can't even cover the expenses. 

Please don't be scared... when people gather around and creates a good crowd, they tend to buy without thinking. Especially if you sell food, drink and snacks. You make plenty amount on weekend without you even realize.

Try to run the life smarter next time....
