An evening...

Its past 6pm on the 31st October 2021 and tomorrow begin November 2021. I am sitting here at the Serambi just whiling the evening away and writing this. The sun is setting on the northeast throwing the light toward me. Soon it would disappears and night would fall, ending the day. Well at my age I noticed that the days leave us faster than before. Hardly you know it almost at the end of the year already. Asmah my spouse and I have been living here since 1974, raising 3 kids and now they are on their own living not that far away from our home. The grandkids too are married and have kids of their own(our great grandchildren). The month of November is significantly important to me since it was in November 1961 that Asmah and I met in Kuantan and got married the next year, just less than three months after. Now we have tied the knot sixtie years already and enjoying the golden years together. Alhamdulillah.  Well folks life have been good.

Its one dish that you can find in the Malay world, perhaps call by other names, nevertheless it is still Ikan Singgang. It is the creation of our ancestors where fish have always been their main protein source; sort of the wisdom of the old. A wise creation indeed and because of it we still kept enjoying it  I have always love Ikan Singgang especially when Ikan Aya [Tuna fish] is use but it always taste as good even with other fish like Tenggiri or Kerisi. When making this simple dish one herb/spice that is a must is Lengkuas [Galangal] for without it the Singgang is not complete. The above image of Ikan Singgang is made with Ikan Tenggiri. Delicious as usual. Taken with steamy white rice and Budu [Anchovies sauce] or Sambal Belacan [Shrimp sauce] it is heaven already.  I posted that image on Facebook and below are two informative comments made th...

The Flags in Colonial Malaya...

In this posting I want to talk about Flags. I was born in 1939 and grew up during the Japanese occupation of Malaya from 1941 to 1945. So the first flag I saw was the Japanese flag, the white flag with the red circle in the centre. With the return of the British authority the Union Jack was again flown everywhere. With the defeat of the Japanese and the return of the British authority in Malaya the school was reopened. Except for the Japanese school all other schools was closed during the Japanese occupation. In January 1946 I start schooling. I remember my father took me to Sekolah Melayu Teruntun at Jalan Gambut in Kuantan. From the shop-house at Wall Street [now Jalan Mahkota] where we live we walk across the Padang, then follow the path across the grassland behind the Kuantan District Office to the school. The school is across the road with a few Pokok Kelapa Bali planted in front near the roadside. Kelapa Bali is what the Oil Palm is now known. It was at the school tha...
