Kami ke Kedah, tanah tumpah darah ayah saya, pada 23 Disember - 25 Disember 2010 untuk menghadiri kenduri kesyukuran perkahwinan makcik saya, yang kami panggil Nyang. Nyang dinikahkan oleh abang sulungnya (ayah sayalah tu!) di rumah ayah & mak di Rinching pada 4 Disember 2010 yang lalu. Selepas nikah, Nyang dibawa pulang suaminya ke rumah mereka di Kuala Nerang, Kedah. Dan kenduri pada 24 Disember 2010 adalah untuk meraikan pengantin baru di Kuala Nerang. :)
Kami bertolak pukul 4 pagi, 23 Disember 2010. I was so sleepy that I slept almost all the way. Lucky my bloved husband tidur awal malam tu, so he was quite fresh at 4 am to drive us! Sorrylah abang, for not able to be a good co-pilot! ;P
We stopped at Tapah at 6 am for Subuh prayer and continued our journey. Anak-anak tidur dengan nyenyak all the way too, and only woke up when we reached Gurun exit (dah nak sampai!). We safely arrived at Tok Wan's house at Kampung Sungai Udang, Yan, Kedah, at 9.30 am. Langkah kanan sebab semua orang sedang breakfast, dan saya pulak sangat lapar! :) We had Bihun Goreng & Cekodok Udang for breakfast. Then, I took Rayyan for a bath and he was so excited to see the big 'pool' inside Tok Nek's bathroom! "Air banyak!" kata Rayyan. I laughed out loud when he said that. Actually, 'air banyak' tu dalam kolah besar! Hehehe...
Uncle & Ateh wanted to bring us to Perlis for the BEST CENDOL IN THE WORLD, kata Uncle. So, after resting for a while, we took off to Perlis at 12 pm. We reached Kangar at 1.30 pm and went straight to Fatin's Corner.
Uncle was right, the cendol was AWESOME! Mak, yang merupakan peminat setia cendol Jalan Reko, Kajang, pun kata cendol Jalan Reko kalah dengan cendol Fatin's Corner. Apart from that, laksa pun sedap, nasi ayam not bad, and bihun sup pun sedap! Memang puas hati makan kat situ, Alhamdulillah... Sayangnya, tak sempat nak ambil gambar sebab sibuk layan Rayyan makan (and sibuk makan as well... hehe...).
After that, we went to Padang Besar - shopping time! Nasib baik lah hujung bulan, duit pun dah tinggal saki baki, so, takdelah shopping sangat. (takdelah pembaziran berlaku! hehe...). Itu pun beli juga few stuff, tapi masih terkawal! ;P We went back to Uncle & Ateh's house at Jitra at about 5 or 6pm.
After maghrib, Uncle & Ateh took us to Aneka to bowl. It was fun, but lebih kepada melayan Keena & Rayyan yang nak join bowling sama. :D After bowling, window shopping sekejap kat Aneka and then off to Sungai Korok for dinner. The famous bihun sup daging lah jadi santapan kami malam tu. Yang tak bestnye, habis kaki saya digigit nyamuk yang sangat banyak! Huhuhu... Lepas makan, kami balik ke rumah Uncle & Ateh dan bermalam di sana.
I woke up quite early the next morning and had breakfast with my mom and Ateh. Yang lain-lain masih enak dibuai mimpi. Pagi tu kami lepak-lepak je kat rumah Uncle & Ateh. Cuma keluar sekejap ke pekan Jitra untuk beli kain dan kasut. :)
Tengaharinya, kami bersiap-siap untuk ke kenduri di Kuala Nerang. The kenduri was scheduled after Jumaat prayer, so the 'Muslimin' solat Jumaat at Masjid Kuala Nerang while the 'Muslimat' waited while indulging with ABC at nearby stall. Hehe.. best, best..
Di kenduri, kami dijamu dengan hidangan nasi putih, ayam masak kicap, gulai udang, ikan goreng dan kari. Lepas makan, kami lepak-lepak sekejap sambil borak-borak dengan Nyang, lepas tu kami berangkat balik ke Jitra untuk ambil barang-barang di rumah Uncle. Malamnya kami ada BBQ di rumah Tok Wan di Yan. The BBQ was awesome too! I had a chance to try out my sis-in-law's Udang Goreng Tepung's recipe here. And Alhamdulillah, it was a success! :D Tq Kak Teh for sharing the recipe! :)
As usual, we had so much FUN in Kedah, yup, we always do. Ateh & Uncle, especially, are always good hosts. So as Tok Wan, Tok, Nyang, Our new Pak Nyang, Mak Ngah & Pak Ngah. We also had a warm companions of Pak Su, Mak Su & Cik Jah... plus our happening cousins too! Thank you ALL for the GREAT time! :) Cuma regret sikit sebab tak sempat nak ambil pictures. Maybe I'll ask from my sister if she took some and will share them here later on.
