Sardin Masak Lemak Cili Padi ?????Pelik !!!!!!!Tidak pernah rasa!!!!!!! Begitulah bila menu ini dicadangkan oleh sepupu saya. Kebetulan saya berkunjung ke rumahnya di Kuala Lumpur dan secara kebetulan saya dan anak-anak puasa enam, jadi Sardin Masak Lemak Cili Padi merupakan menu buka puasa kami. Mula-mula saya rasa agak pelik, ya lah selalunya sardin dimasak asam, sambal tumis mahupun kari, tapi lemak cili padi belum pernah saya cuba. Tapi itulah ternyata sangkaan saya meleset sekali. Ternyata menu ini memang enak, pula kena dengan nasi yang agak-agak lembik dan panas, sambal belacan, ikan masih dan ulam-ulaman perghhh, cukup menyelerakan. Cubalah resipi ini tanpa ragu-ragu ternyata hebat.
