Selamat Berpuasa to everyone! How time flies...sekejap jer dah Ramadhan..Pejam celik in few weeks dah raya...hermmm...

This year 1st Ramadhan falls on Saturday, 22nd August 2009. It's a good chance to have nice lovely home cooked iftar.

Few days before fasting, i've stocked up my groceries...manalah tahu kalau2 semangat memasak datang...hahahahah :-P Lagipun, dengan kekalutan pendamic H1N1 ni, rasa a bit scared to go to Pasar Ramadhan.

Went to Tesco earlier, nak tengoklah kalau2 ada ilham nak masak apa...tapi nothing came up..Blur :-(

Entah macam mana tiba2 rasa nak masak Asam Pedas Ikan Merah...aha! It's been ages since my last cook of asam pedas.
