Yang Teristimewa

Salam Nuzul Quran :)


Finally, I manage to find this on my own. So special to me. I have been eaten this every Ramadhan since I was a little girl. Taste super extra yummy after 2 hours in the fridge.


There are so many  hawkers selling this kuih at pekan batu 14, hulu langat - (on the way to Sg Gabai and Sg Congkak ), depan masjid - only around here you can find this kuih - trust me - no other places in Klang valley (kalau ada, tel, tel me :), then I dont have to drive so far away). Again google call it kuih jongkong but my dad call it kuih bongkah or bongkoh ( tak tahu la which is which one, I cuma ingat rasanya sahaja :))




But of course this particular kuih from this particular makcik is extra special as this was where my father loved to buy it from. Just  meters away from his shops (ni batu 11). Depan Taman Desa Pelangi, ada dua tiga stall along the road on the way to Pekan Batu 11. I told the lady makcik that I come all the way from Klang  because my father used to buy it from her. She asked who my father was. Then she said, "ooo dia terus datang dekat rumah if makcik tak keluar niaga lagi". So I said that next time I 'll do the same as well- go straight to her house :). She will only run her stall at 430pm -so yesterday I have to wait for 1 hour. But sungguh berbaloi untuk tekak I yang teringin ni :D, al maklumlah tekak puasa kan hehe. I sempat survey sampai ke Pekan, memang ramai orang sana jual but I tak berani nak beli tempat tak biasa kan. Masa tu baru 3.30pm dah ramai orang start jual.


We managed to buy  26 packed in total, sebab ada dua tiga orang yang pesan. This year (or rather yesterday) kuih is very sweet as compared to what I used to taste before. Maybe semalam terlebih gula :), dalam keadaan gula mahal pun makcik ni tak kedekut gula  berbanding dengan kebanyakan kuih  kuih lain yang tasteless kat PARAM.


Next time, I really need to get out of the area before 430 pm to avoid the traffic jam everywhere. Sampai rumah sempat sempat ja time buka. Tak sempat nak sejukkan my kuih so I simpan dulu. Pukul 10 malam baru makan. Hmmm lajat bangat. Alhamdulillah. As sweet as life :)


Dina ate hers at sahur - muka ngantuk tu :)


Till later.
ps: I remember my facts wrong dalam post "digamit rasa" - i cakap harga dia rm2/ 2.50 now, salah tu, semalam I beli cuma rm1.50, sama harga tahun lepas but dulu dulu iya masa I kecil dalam 80 cent ja. Not so bad la kan.

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
