Ketam Sambal Bersantan (Crab Sambal with coconut milk)

T.H.E R.A.M.B.L.I.N.G.S

I thought I am not going to write anything in the Ramblings section. But then, I changed my mind. I just had to write something... or rather... I had to let out what I am feeling at the moment. I AM FRUSTERATED actually. I browsed through my blog, trying to look for something, but what did I find... yeah, lots and lots of entries without photos but only the 'exclaimation mark' thingy on it's place. Not that I am not aware of that situation, but I didn't realise there are so many and I am not sure whether I still have them in my folder. Huwaaaa.... But In Shaa Allah I will try my best to upload whatever's left.....

  3. MamaFami, that photo thingy happened to me too! My older posts some photo hilang. Your ketam look fantastic, but I am too lazy to kopek the shell.
