i went to Russell market this morning as early as 8. since today is India's national day so its a holiday, no clinical no classes so i was supposed to wake up late. i mean its mandatory to wake up late. come on...free Saturday for people like us comes only twice a month. YES PEOPLE TWICE A MONTH. so its a kind of privilege when we get holiday like this! but unfortunately (or fortunately) having friends who are very enthusiastic in going to MARKET at this very special day as early as 8 (as if its going to be closed at 9) they really don't give me any options. pfffftttt!
Russell market is basically a place where u can get anything under one roof. but the problem is that, its quite far from our house (as far as MG road. but the different is i go to MG for TOMMY HILFIGER but RUSSELL for what, fish???) ok lets pass that! u name anything u want u'll get it. from bunga kantan, tauhu, daun kesum, serai, kerang, ketam, and whats not. being in foreign country like this its quite difficult to find all these things but thanks to Russell, our problem is solved ;)
ohh and another thing about India. people here will do what ever they can to earn money. if u are just like me who hates to lift heavy things, going to market is not a problem anymore. why? because they have "kuli" service, who will carry all the things that you bought through out. of course i have to pay the man, but at least i don't have to hurt my hands ;)
because i don't feel the heaviness of all the things that i bought (thanks to u Mr.carry man) i keep on buying things unconsciously! so lets recall my lost today.
1) return auto fare: Rs 160 (+/- Rm 16)
2) crab MEAT :Rs 300
3) BIG prawns : Rs 250
4) squid (as long as my arm, SERIOUSLY) : Rs 120
5) fish : Rs 100
6) serai tauhu bawang kentang sayur2 cili etc : Rs 250
7) Mr.carry man : Rs150 (baik nya i ;)))
so the total is Rs1330. omg i spent like my mother now! hahah! ok but the funny thing is, out of all the fresh wet things i got in my freezer, guess what i had for lunch?? ikan goreng kunyit dan ayam masak merah semalam!! i cant believe this! what happened to raihan who went like " omg sedap gila udang masak sambal ni. omg sotong ni goreng pun sedap ni. OMG ISI KETAM LAAAAAHH" this is sad. so sad. oh come on im not lazy?? i just don't know what to do with them. and now i need ibu so bad ;(
any good recipes people? please, i dont wanna keep them for too long!
