#4: The most expensive Asam Pedas
This is gonna be a long post. Because I feel very guilty (to the max). If I didn’t take out my handphone and attempt on doing such a failure d*nut selfie… We wouldn’t be in a mess. I shall not elaborate more because it was too painful to recall, let alone reminisce.
Well, we decided to cook Asam Pedas Ikan Pari (Stingray Asam Pedas). We started off bright and early by running and heading over to the market to buy some of the ingredients. We were all set and ready to head over to his place…. and then it goes “Because you know I’m all about that bass, bout that bass, no treble…” and damn we bang into someone else’s big ass base. Luckily we no trouble, safe and sound. Just that we were couple of hundreds poorer la. There you go “Bang bang all over you…”.
