Cili padi? Kenapa tajuk I tulis hari ni lain macam je bunyiknyer? Ha…. Let me tell all of you the story..
Hari nih actually I plan nak bawak Diya keluar jalan ke Ikea kejap. I wanted to get her a box to keep all her toys organized cause lately she really likes small miniature kind of toys especially her “Happy Meal” gifts.. hehehhe.. and so I went to Giant; a nearby hypermarket alone. Neways while I was there I was able to get Diya some cute gardening tool toys for her to play with at grandma’s. I did met some nice folks too, they greet me and even chat a little bit while we all queuing to pay at the counter. So kira not bad jugak lah the neighborhood here but I still prefer my own place lah hhheheh.. I couldn’t get what I want (the box of cause, it was too expensive and I think IKEA is much more cheaper) there and thought takper lah later I boleh beli kat IKEA jer.. oh, I did get myself chocolate drink mix – Cadbury instant chocolate drink and thought to get caramel sauce too. To think again I remembered I still have whipping cream in the fridge. Whipping cream and hot chocolate drink? What else can be better than that? Ahaks…
Later I sampai rumah and lunch was ready. I rest a while and joined my family dine. Dishes were udang masak lemak belimbing, ikan tenggiri goreng and sayur kangkung goreng. I pun makan lah. SEDAP… Dua, tiga suap masih sedap lagi then later baru lah I mula rasa tak semacam! My mouth was burning slowly and it went through my throat to my stomach!!!! Pedas!!!!!! I looked at my plate and saw tangkai cili padi! I must have eaten one of it without noticing and mistaken it with buah belimbing tu. My eyes started watering and my head feels so HOT! I ran to the sink and gargle tap water.. still can’t, ran to the bathroom and put my head under shower for sometime while still I gargle tap water. I say bukan pedas tapi panas lah kot? Mulut tu rasa macam bengkak, tekak pedih sangat and perut panas. My mother felt bad for putting the ‘cili campak’ in the gravy and maid didn’t bother to separate the gravy for me like she usually does. Maybe she was busy that time as my uncle was on his way from Kuantan to stay over few days here. I couldn’t say anything as my lips were NUMB and still hot! I just close my eyes in bed and didn’t say anything. Everyone should know better I cant tolerate spicy food, not even a little bit. I used to LOVE spicy food until I had chemo. I cried once when my husband brought back chicken burger with chili sauce and another time when my maid got me chicken kebab which somehow tasted spicy. Ingat I main-main ker tak tahan pedas? Memang tak boleh tahan pedas tu, sikit pun tak boleh. Ingat I tak boring ke makan bland and tasteless food? I pun nak makan sedap jugak like I used to.. all those bihun tomyam lah, mee goreng mamak lah, char kuey teow la.. but what to do, I just cant tahan chili.
But after awhile Alhamdulillah pedas tu hilang and rasa menyengat tu pun berkurang. My throat still hurts a bit but manageable. Later my uncle arrived and his turn to have lunch, he offered me to come and join him my quick and fast answer “ish, tak nak.. tak nak” heheheheheh…. He wonders of cause and later my mom explained hehehe..
So moral of the story.. I can not makan makanan PEDAS!
