Cooking Method Vocabulary
I believe we are able to connect our experience and language
depending on the scope and field we are exposed to. For instance, you can
connect more when you make doa in Malay rather than in English as you are being
taught to do so since you just a toddler. You can appreciate poem and
literature better in Malay rather than English. But, when it comes to serious
matter, like news, politics, academic and even blogging, you prefer English
more. Same goes to movies and drama series, you appreciate English-based
better. This is what I experiencing right now. Writing about food and recipe in
English, surely a challenging one for me. First, most of the time, I cook Malay
dish (Western dish is championed by Mr. Affan). Of course, the recipe in Malay
and what my mummy taught, in Malay. Secondly, I prefer to read recipe in Malay
rather than English. The familiar ingredients and steps become sooo alien
to me when written in English. Even until now, I still look up for the correct
words to use when writing this blog. But, it’s totally fine. I take it as
challenge for me to learn and excel.
Enough with the blabbering, now presenting the cooking
method vocabulary. At least, you know what are “tumis”, “celur” and etc. in English

Side notes:
I try to read more on food review and recipe blogs to get more ideas and insight. And, there's another one write up pending: Perak's Food Diary. Wish me luck to finish the write up :)
