Udang Cili Madu 3

MADU...
There are a few meanings to this word in Malay. One of it is HONEY, produced by the bees and most enjoyed by Winnie The Pooh. Hahaha.. just kidding. All of us likes honey and it seems, honey contributes something towards health care. If you've been following my fotopages when I first started, then you surely have read the goodness of "Cinnamon and Honey" in there.

Another meaning is second or maybe third or fourth illegal* legal wife. (*Thanks Lin for pointing out my mistake. Taip lepas tengah malam, manalah tak keyro!) This, for sure, is not to the liking of most women. Everytime when this Madu 3 is being mentioned, I will always remember a film directed by the most talented artist in Malaysia, Allahyarham P.Ramlee, MADU 3. I love to watch all of his comedy movies but not the sad ones. When watching Madu 3, I can never fail to smile, not only because the movie is funny, but also, I can never forget my hubby's reaction when he watches this movie, especially the part when the second wife said," Saya kooooorek biji mata awak"... Hahaha....

Why am I writing about madu today? It's because I wanted to post this dish that I had tried a couple of days ago. Dug it out from Ummi's 'garden'. Ummi's garden is full of juicy stuffs, always ready to be plucked! Hahaha... Thanks Ummi and Kak Mon for this lovely prawn recipe. Thousand apologies if the photo doesn't do justice to your recipe, but that's the best that I can do.... at the moment...... Allow me to translate (though with broken English... hahaha) the recipe and re-post it here so that hopefully, many more will be able to try it....
