Picnics are fun especiallly with loved ones. Food cooked and packed from home are less expensive then food you buy outside and taste better too. Picnic is eating outside of the house, in the fields, by the lakes, by the roadsides anywhere you like.
We had a picnic yesterday at Masjid Negeri Sarawak. Hajar's nasi lemak packed in the shape of pyramids in waxed paper. Sambal ikan bilis and bite-size pieces chicken rendang were put separately in plastic containers. We had 'celorot' for desert. It is a Sarawak traditional kueh made of rice flour, and most probably steamed into short flutes, made out of coconut leaves. It is so creative, cute and delicious too.
Today we had another picnic. This time by the roadside. Sambal tumis big prawns bought at Satok market early in the morning when we sent aishah to hospital ( at 5.00am!) , fried fish and masak lemak nangka muda. For desert we had kek lapis sarawak.
I plan to purchase a proper picnic basket as soon as possible, so that we can pack the food in a more orderly way and less spills.
I think picnics will be in many of our outing plans in the future., because sitting around a basket of food and eating together is to me, alot of fun.
