Salam Ismet...,
You said in this article : "
a place with the blazing chilies in “Itiak Lado Hijau,“ “
samba
jariang Panggang†and “Samba Hitam,“
Ketika kumembaca
samba hitam. Aku teringat akan almarhum ibuku yang sangat suka membuat masakan samba hitam ketika aku kecil dulu. Namun sayang hampir 25 tahun berlalu, masakan yang sudah terlupakan itu, diiingatkan kembali melalui apresiasimu. Terimah kasih Ismet.
Memang betul Ismet, West Sumatera is :
a place where the tropical winds always blow gently through the swaying trees,
a place where rivers flow through unspoiled natural wonders,
a place with mountain waterfalls and crystal blue lakes,
a place with friendly people,
a place where aromatic spices and a variety of hot chili papers which are a treat to the senses,
a place with the delicate flavors of “Lamang Tapai,â€
a place with the blazing chilies in “Itiak Lado Hijau,“ “Samba Jariang Panggang†and “Samba Hitam,“
a place with the exotic/tangy drink known as “Es Ketimun,“
a place that is called “Paradise.â€
Suatu saat aku akan membawa seorang Melati Malam ke ranah ku nun jauh disana.
Wassalam,
