Our Spice Project

our dearie Spice project
requested by: JS
submission to be done by: ASAP
Submitted by: Nee Lee & Monkey
ohhhh thank u so much Nee Lee for helping me to complete this :))))

JS requested all his spices to be labeled and merchandised accordingly in his "spices pantry"
Monkey has got no idea wat spice is which is wat is where is why

I only know how to eat :D heheheheheheheheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

so when it comes to labeling....my expertise was to dash out and got the sticker labels
and the spice jars fr IKEA *all 20 of them*
shopped together with JS to get all the spices he needed

some packets were labeled in English some in Bahasa
T_T wasn't easy for me :P there weren't like in both languages

so for the past whole week of last week....Monkey had been harassing Nee Lee
Monkey: "What do u call Chili Flakes in bahasa?"
Nee Lee: *paused for sometime.....thought hard......* "Emping Cili Kering!!!!!"

Monkey: "U sure?????? I tot emping is like for snacks and cornflakes????"
well true enuff in Indonesia, for flakes, they use emping....

Monkey: "How do u translate Long Pepper?"
Nee Lee: "Lada Panjang?"

-_-" I am sure there's another name, it's called Pippali in Tamil....but at the end of the day.....
Monkey chose Lada Panjang hehehehe

then the rest fell into place such as
Coriander = Ketumbar
Fennel = Jintan Manis

Cloves = Bunga Cengkih

Fenugreek = Biji Halba

Cardomom = Pelaga

Cinnamon = Kayu Manis

Turmeric = Kunyit

Candlenut = Buah Keras

Cumin = Jintan Putih

Poppy seeds = Biji Kas kas

and the usual black/white pepper

and he needed them in seeds and in powder version
so there's biji and serbuk

Monkey went from knowing nuts bout spices to translating them English - Bahasa

"Why the hell u need so many stuffs and spices to cook????"
JS: "Coz I make everything fr scratch......"

T_T

"and what's this??? they looked the same!!!!! how do u even differentiate it??? same color, same texture, same size, same shape."
JS: "U recognise it by smell...."
smelled the same to me T_T

so folks if u wanna "giling" your chili or get your spices mix....u can go ask JS
he makes his own curry powder concoction for all his curries
only crazy cooks do this these days
but of coz the results were AMAZING YUMMY CURRIES!!!!!!!!
*this reminded me of another Si Fu who does this....everything fr scratch with floating chilis in his curries*

so u like our Spice Project?
I hope hope hope no more errors *cross mai fingers*

Thank u Nee Lee....:)))
