In my previous post, I mentioned that Ayam Masak Merah is a special dish for Malay weddings... and I shall continue with another 'Wedding Dish' ~ Nasi Minyak or Savoury Rice to compliment Ayam Masak Merah.

In villages or kampongs... Malay weddings are celebrated as a community activity. Relatives and neighbours would get together to help out in the preparations, cooking, serving as well as cleaning up after the big event.
Men are assign with back-breaking task such as chopping fire woods, put up tents, arrange tables and chairs while ladies help out in peeling onions, removing rice husks from the rice grains, clean and cut-up chickens and kilos of beef, boil hundreds of eggs, make litres of syrup.
Some would be in-charge of decorating the dais for the happy couple to sit and be blessed by elders and guests, and some would be in- charge with decorating the 'bridal' suite...
Big woks and pots are put to good use. Frying and sautéing would be done on the eve.. with major cooking are done early in the morning on the wedding day.

My nieces in their traditional wedding attire...

Left ~ the beautifully decorated dais for the happy couple. Right ~ the bridal suite...

A typical Malay wedding banquet in small villages...
Left ~ a beautiful diamond ring for the bride.
Right ~ traditional Malay musical instrument known as 'Kompang' to welcome the bride and groom 

As a kid, I loved to tag along my mom to weddings. I remembered Mom would put on her best Baju Kurung (traditional Malay attire for ladies), adorned in her finest jewellery. Then we would make our way to the wedding...

I would sit with my mom at the table... waiting anxiously to eat. The 'Mentara' or waiters/ waitresses would placed the dish... one by one... 
I would go 'eyeing' each dish... a typical wedding feast would have Beef Korma, Ayam Masak Merah, fresh salad of cut-up pineapples, cucumber, onions and chillies, Beef Dhal Curry or Dalca... and finally plates of Nasi Minyak or Savoury Rice would be placed in front of me...  

The aroma of Nasi Minyak wafting through the air was so irresistable....

The sweet aroma of ghee... creamy savoury taste of the rice would make my tummy go wild. But I had to exercise self-control and refrained from reaching out... must not start eating before the adults... and if I 'accidently' did... I would get a good 'secret' pinch on my thigh....

ouch!! shame on you


Bunga Telur signifies Fertility... guests wishing the newly-wed ~ a happy marriage and be blessed with offsprings

Finally... when everyone done feasting and chatting... the host would  present us with their token of appreciation by handing out 'BungaTelur' ~ a nicely presented hard boiled egg wrapped in a beautiful sachet filled with 'Bunga Rampai' (Bunga Rampai is made out of semi dried finely sliced screwpine leaves mix with rose petals and few drops of rose water.. its the Eastern 'Pot-Pourri').

I would go home, happy and contented that I had my fill of wedding feast... and proudly carrying home my fragrant Bunga Telur...

Last but not least.... I am submitting this to Sharon of Test with Skewer for her Muhibbah Malaysian Monday.

My thanks to my nieces and nephews for the wedding photos...

Hari Ahad lepas, baru balik dari Marang 

Ada majlis sikit kat kampung

Anak sedara kahwin, anak sedara bertunang, semua dah besar2 kan

Yang kahwin tu, masa majlis kat Marang majlis sambut menantu, nikahnya dah selesai buat kat Kelantan seminggu sebelum tu

Ibu, baba & Naurah tak pergi pun masa majlis kat Kelantan sebab baba tak dapat cuti

Dua hari sebelum balik Marang, Acik Pah datang ke Kuantan

 

Ibu kan tengah free jugak skang ni, Naurah pun cuti sekolah, jadi boleh ajak Acik Pah jalan2 kat bandar Kuantan



 Acik Pah datang hari Selasa, hari Khamis baru balik Marang

Sepanjang Acik Pah ada kat rumah, keje Naurah duk mengendap Acik Pah kat bilik sampai Acik Pah nak siap2 pakai baju pun susah, kejap kang nampak muka dia kat pintu

Sehari ada la 2-3 kali ibu dengar Acik Pah cakap 'Naurah gi tubik dulu gih, Acik Pah pakai baju dulu eh'

Pastu kang tetiba ibu dengar suara Acik Pah macam nak melalak sebab Naurah tak nak keluar

Dia bangun pagi2 seawal subuh, dengan suara serak2 bagitau nak pegi kejut Acik Pah bangun

Pegi la kejut, jangan pengsan tengok muka Acik Pah baru bangun tido sudah la


 Baba tengah sibuk masukkan luggage dalam kereta, kita bertiga sibuk amik gambar

 Sampai je kat Marang, terus Acik Dah bagi tugas, tolong sambung2 keje2 buat door gift

Tak banyak keje pun nak buat, kena klip2 bubuh riben je, yang lain2 semua diorang dah setelkan

Kita mintak sorry la ye sebab tak dapat balik awal, nak buat camana, baba Naurah keje tengah banyak


 la-la-la Sarahhh, seronok Sarah sebab ramai orang kat rumah, jadi banyak tangan berebut2 nak dukung dia


 Semoga selamat semuanya ye Piqah 


 

 Piqah ni kreatif sangat, yang hantaran tu dia gubah sendiri je, cantik. Ibu suka tengok, nampak simple and sweet


 

 Untuk majlis sambut menantu, masa keluarga pengantin perempuan sampai, kita mintak tolong Acik Pah payungkan pengantin even hari tu dia sakit gusi, kihkih


 Eh tetiba ada orang buat rondaan pulak kat depan pelamin


Yg kat depan pelamin tu bukan hantaran, tapi buah tangan dari keluarga pengantin perempuan. Hantaran diorang berdua hari tu kaler purple, tapi gambar yang Acik La bagi banyak yang tunggang terbalik ibu malas nak rotate



 Ni masa majlis kat Kelantan, lepas akad nikah


 Yg ni bersanding keesokkan harinya

Tahniah ye semua
