a covered outdoor kitchen
motif? ventilation bagus, mengelakkan odour masakan masuk dalam rumah dan melekat kat langsir, sofa, carpet, even on your hair. frying belacan, ikan masin, udang kering, and etc; these ingredients can produce the strongest odour, it can strike straight to your shirt if you ain't wearing an apron. (if you cook malay dishes at the most lah, since you cant escape those ingredients and you dont cook with olive oil remember?)
secondly, taknak lantai berminyak. last saturday for example, frying ikan keli macam time-bomb tunggu meletoplah, results your floor become oily kerana percikan minyak bakal berlaku kalau tak tutup kuali.
third, sound pollution. everytime pakai lesung, lapik tebal mana pun bunyi dia tetap mengganggu dan retak tiles meja dapur. pakai blender, mesin pemarut kelapa, mixer, and even guna microwave pun produce sounds jugak. bila ada open kitchen tadela bingit telinga dok dapur. bolehla pasang radio dgr lagu usher feat pitbull. yeehu!
but, open kitchen ni susah gak. nama pun open kan, sesenang je dirompak kat dapur. kucing merompak ikan yg dh siap digoreng. mengundang tikus dan lalat. yakkss..dan bila hujan, owh, takut bunyi petir dan nampak kilat plak.
open kitchen concept mmg terbaek, tp perlu dimodify lagi mengikut kesesuaian org yg nk guna dapur tu.
hehe..dapur gempak tidak menjadikan masakan lebih sedap. yep its true. tp bukanlah bermaksud materialistik semata, its practical & motivating jugak kan? after all, nothing comes for free. u nak i masak sedap, i nak dapur sedap gak..hehehe
