Nasi Lemuni

View dari bawah pokok ke atas (imagine i tgh mencangkung ambik gambar nie)

Ini adalah bunga lemuni, wangi

Belakang daun yang purplish, cantik dan wangi

Post gambar dulu.. Jap lagi cerita sikit ttf Nasi Lemuni yang diambil dari Daun Lemuni. Orang utara memang famous dgn nasi lemuni nie. Dalam pantang bersalin boleh makan sebab ada benefit dari segi kesihatan :D


[Updated]

Daun lemuni nie lebih terkenal di negeri sebelah Utara (Perlis, Kedah, Penang). Sebabnya aku pernah jumpa kat area seri kembangan tapi secara liar. kalau kat Penang, ada pokok nie di laman rumah dah kira glamer sbb akan ramai orang datang minta daun sikit buat nasi lemuni. Contoh ayat, " hang pi rumah mak cik biah, ala yang ada pokok lemuni depan ghumah dia tu."

Maaflah gambar masakan nasi lemuni tak sempat ambil, dah selesai, tak sempat ambik gambar. Pokok lemuni nie boleh membesar (tinggi), daun dia, bhg atas warna hijau tapi bhg bawah berwarna purple. bila di ramas daun dia, wangi baunya. Bunga dia pun warna purple. Selalunya daun dia (purple) diambil untuk masak nasi lemuni. Masak macam masak nasi lemak cuma daun lemuni akan diblend bersama kelapa parut untuk santan. Santan tersebut akan jadi warna purple.

Nasi lemuni nie merupakan herba yang dapat memanaskan badan. Sebab tu dalam pantang bersalin, boleh makan nasi lemuni nie. Selain daun, batang pokok lemuni nie, kalau ada boleh dibuat sudip nasi. sebab bila nak gembur (?) nasi, aroma wangi akan turut keluar selain utk tujuan perubatan. Nasi lemuni nie favorite saya.

Opps lupa, Nasi lemuni dimakan bersama sambal tumis ikan bilis (apa2 pun takpa asal sambal tumis), telur rebus dan timun. Makan masa hangat2, mama (mak mertua I) lalu pun tak sedaq. Ish kecur liur cerita nie. Sapa2 ada pokok lemuni kat rumah dia, bagitau saya boleh saya masak dan bagi sepinggan. Susah nak jumpa pokok lemuni nie. :D

Ducks Quack, Eagles Soar.....................

No one can make you serve customers well.

That's because great service is a choice.

Harvey Mackay, tells a wonderful story about a cab driver that proved this Point.

He was waiting in line for a ride at the airport. When a cab pulled up, the First thing Harvey noticed was that the taxi was polished to a bright shine. Smartly dressed in a white shirt, black tie, and freshly pressed black Slacks, the cab driver jumped out and rounded the car to open the back Passenger door for Harvey .

He handed my friend a laminated card and said:

'I'm Wally, your driver. While I'm loading your bags in the trunk I'd like You to read my mission statement.'

Taken aback, Harvey read the card. It said:

Wally's Mission Statement:

To get my customers to their destination in the quickest, safest and Cheapest way possible in a friendly environment.

This blew Harvey away. Especially when he noticed that the inside of the cab Matched the outside. Spotlessly clean!

As he slid behind the wheel, Wally said, 'Would you like a cup of coffee? I Have a thermos of regular and one of decaf.'

My friend said jokingly, 'No, I'd prefer a soft drink.'

Wally smiled and said, 'No problem. I have a cooler up front with regular And Diet Coke, water and orange juice.'

Almost stuttering, Harvey said, 'I'll take a Diet Coke.'

Handing him his drink, Wally said, 'If you'd like something to read, I haveThe Wall Street Journal, Time, Sports Illustrated and USA Today.'

As they were pulling away, Wally handed my friend another laminated card. 'These are the stations I get and the music they play, if you'd like to Listen to the radio.'

And as if that weren't enough, Wally told Harvey that he had the air Conditioning on and asked if the temperature was comfortable for him. Then he advised Harvey of the best route to his destination for that time of Day. He also let him know that he'd be happy to chat and tell him about some Of the sights or, if Harvey preferred, to leave him with his own thoughts.

'Tell me, Wally,' my amazed friend asked the driver, 'have you always served Customers like this?'

Wally smiled into the rear view mirror. 'No, not always. In fact, it's only Been in the last two years. My first five years driving, I spent most of my Time complaining like all the rest of the cabbies do. Then I heard the Personal growth guru, Wayne Dyer, on the radio one day.

He had just written a book called You'll See It When You Believe It. Dyer said that if you get up in the morning expecting to have a bad day, You'll rarely disappoint yourself. He said, 'Stop complaining! Differentiate yourself from your competition. Don't be a duck. Be an eagle.
Ducks quack and complain. Eagles soar above the crowd.
''

'That hit me right between the eyes,' said Wally. 'Dyer was really talking About me. I was always quacking and complaining, so I decided to change my Attitude and become an eagle. I looked around at the other cabs and their Drivers. The cabs were dirty, the drivers were unfriendly, and the customers Were unhappy. So I decided to make some changes. I put in a few at a time.
When my customers responded well, I did more.'

'I take it that has paid off for you,' Harvey said.

'It sure has,' Wally replied. 'My first year as an eagle, I doubled my Income from the previous year. This year I'll probably quadruple it. You were lucky to get me today. I don't sit at cabstands anymore. My Customers call me for appointments on my cell phone or leave a message on my Answering machine. If I can't pick them up myself, I get a reliable cabbie
Friend to do it and I take a piece of the action.'

Wally was phenomenal. He was running a limo service out of a Yellow Cab. I've probably told that story to more than fifty cab drivers over the years, And only two took the idea and ran with it. Whenever I go to their cities, I give them a call. The rest of the drivers quacked like ducks and told me All the reasons they couldn't do any of what I was suggesting.

Wally the Cab Driver made a different choice. He decided to stop quacking Like ducks and start soaring like eagles.

How about us?

Smile, and the whole world smiles with you.....The ball is in our hands!

My View

KODAK M583
My Latest Camera sebab Camera Sony CyberShot asyik telan bateri jer.. Ringan betul kamera nie. Masa mula2 beli mcm tak best sebab tak stylish macam C@n0n, ker S0ny ker... Murah jer kamera nie. Rm599 - kitaorg upgrade SD card ke 4GB. Baru gempak. Bateri dia so far ok jer. Tak macam S0ny Cybersh0t tu, asyik drain jer.. Baru On 2 jam, dah drain.
So raya baru nie, puas saya ambik gambar. Nanti upload dan citer ttg balik raya baru nie. Our journey start from Tol Juru - Exit Kuala Kangsar - Tol Simpang Pulai - Exit Tapah - Slim River yang menelan masa dari 3 jam (normal travelling) kepada 7 jam (tak termasuk jam tangan dan jam kereta)!!!
