Digamit Rasa

I thought of my dad and I thought of this kuih. I almost panic when I fail to remember what its called - We call it kuih joko - but google knows it as kuih jongkong.

http://bumilangit.wordpress.com/2007/10/01/kueh-jongkong/ - pi - (empunya gambar juga beli di batu 14 hulu langat)

Tepung lembut, manis gula melaka and masin lemak santan cair- eat it cool (lepas sejukkan dalam fridge for 2,3 hours) and it is so heavenly. Taste like ice cream. Makan begitu saja tidak sejuk juga boleh but tidaklah rasa ice cream:). 


No, it does not taste like kuih pelita or lompat tikam, it is better than those. Yang bestnya bila unwrap daun pisang tu, tepung dikelilingi air kuah dia and you have to scoop both together. Hilang rasa tanpa salah satu. 


I have known this kuih since I was little girl. Since when it was only at 80 cents and last year it was at rm2.00/2.50. It was so hard to find anybody selling this. I never bought it. I never come across people selling it.


My dad yang beli. He would make a few trips to his hometown every Ramadhan to buy this - he would buy a lot - 10-15 packets for 2 days stock- for me, for my children. Sorang patut dapat 2 each. And for the 2 days we would eat a packet during breaking fast and a packet during sahur - sangat sedap, cukup manis yang tidak manis, cukup lembut yang tidak lembut. Cukup sejuk yang tidak sejuk. It was just heaven. Kalau ada balance sebungkus, 2 untuk esok, tu saya punyalah ye.


And I miss this kuih so much. Got to make the trip on my own this Ramadhan. Got to find it. And find it right- dari gerai yang sedap


I really miss you kuih. So so much. As much as I miss the person who always bought this for me. 


ps:
Yeah, maybe I dont really miss the kuih, I am just missing the person
