Sambal Belacan Mak

It was in October 2019.

It was just the two of us in the kitchen. The last portion of sambal belacan was long gone a couple of weeks back. That morning, I asked the helper to ensure there was enough ingredients so I could make a new batch that morning. 

Mak always said, "Senang je nak buat.. yang malas nak tumbuk tu."

Wah... lagi dua bulan je nak Mak ni gi umrah. 

Mak happy tak? 

Happylah! Kan Mak cakap, makan angin pegi sana sini Mak tak heran.. Mak nak gi Umrah je. Insya Allah Mak sihatlah.. panjang umur.. mana tau ni last Mak dapat pegi.

Apalah Mak ni... insya Allah tahun depan.. ada rezeki, Hah ikot sama eh? Tapi tu lah.. ni Hah tak kerja.. Mak doakan ada rezeki lah eh? 

Little did I know, that was the last time that I pounded the belacan whilst having that mother daughter bonding time. 

Mak, harini Hah tumbuk sambal belacan, tapi barang²nya macam ingat² lupa lah, Mak. Dah setahun, baru nak buat lagi ni. Nasib baik sedap.. tapi tetap tak sama mcm Mak punya lah.. Hehe. Ladanya pun, kasar² Hah tumbuk. :P
