A community service message fit for this rainy season & before the musim sakit arrives, dedicated to my one time blogger-friend MarinadelRey.
This is the petua from my Mom which comes in handy whenever I have a sore and itchy throat. I usually try this first before I consume any cough syrup or if the cough is not the phlegmy kind.
The dry looking fruit is called buah kembang semangkuk, those brown stuff is getah anggur and those cubes are gula batu. These were pre-packed which I bought from a nearby kedai runcit. What's missing in this packet is those little seeds called biji selasih, those little suckers that look like tadpoles swimming in your air sirap most most likely found in drink stalls in local pasar malams.
Soak 'em up real good in plain water.
And wait.
And wait some more.
Until they become really kembang semangkuk like this. If you can't stomach this on its own, you can drink it with your favourite sirap.
Baca bismillah and selawat three times, Insya-Allah sembuh. Sekian.
Love,
Nenek Kebayan (our inside joke with r3na).

Nenek oh nenek
Mende alah tu rendam dalam air panas, suam atau sejuk? Kot la dalam air sejuk pun buleh kembang jugak kan.
Wahlau. Klua nama Debib pulak dah.
Anne,
there's another one.This what my mum always remind me - kalau sore throat, minum carrot susu (without ice,of course!).Insyaallah, u takkan sakit tekak lg.
hahhaha kembang semangkuk is good to relief heat. If the eyes kena infection also can also put it to the eyes.. Menyetooohkan the eyes.
Debib, haha, apsal kuar nama debib ha? i think air panas wud speed up the process, but i rendam dlm air sejuk jer
hasnul, hey girl! thnks for dropping by. eh carrot susu pun bleh eh? if that works, no need to susah2 rendam2 all these bijik2 lar, ahahaha
sasha, really ah? titik2 inside the eyes issit? but you cant really let the slimy2 things inside ur mata rite? im asking coz im suffering from allergic reaction these days (sneezing & itchy eyes and all)
haaaa my mum's remedy is the same as ur's..hehehe..tapi i can only take it with syrup. air kosong, erkkkk nooo!!!
My fool-proof remedy is to cut off the throat altogether. Guarantee tak sakit tekak lagi.
Yours truly,
The Original Nenek Kebayan :-)
drama mama, wimp! haha yg ini sedaplah, sedap dah letak siap2 gula batu
nenek! suka sgt2 semua syarikat insurance kalau org ramai gunapakai ur fool proof remedy ni, huhu.
p/s: i got a new fave classic mj song playing on loop, "on the line". meleleh jer bila dgr
r3na's statement is seriously disturbing :p
anyway, i havent tried this one before. will keep it in mind next time. memang gerenti the stuff are sold at the kedai runcit ke? i the very blur.
