Telur Burung Puyuh

AKu ada cerita pasal pasar malam dulu. Ni kira additional information lah pasar benda-benda yang aku jumpa kat pasar malam dekat rumah aku ni.



harga semasa telur burung puyuh di pasar malam di kawasan rumah saya, ialah RM2.00 untuk 25 biji. Bagi RM10.00 telur, jika kita menggunakan kadar terus ialah 125 biji.

Saya suka makan telur puyuh kerana ianya kecil. Bite size orang puteh kata. Rasanya macam telur ayam jugak, tapi sekali masuk, ngap habis sebiji. Anak-anak saya pun suka makan telur puyuh.

Haziq yang pada mulanya geli melihat the spots on the eggs, refuse to eat it. Then saya kupas kulit telur tersebut (tanpa pengetahuannya) dan beri dia makan..dia kata dia suka. Lepas tu baru saya cakap irulah telur puyuh. Nasib baik dia OK about it.

Kalau saya order Yong Tau Foo pun saya akan ambik telur puyuh. Saya juga suka telur puyuh dalam Lai Chee Kang (Maaf saya tak tau ejaan kedua-dua makanan ini, mungkin Ah Beng boleh tolong.

Semalam saya masak nasi lemak. Saya rebus telur ayam biasa untuk the adults dan telur puyuh untuk bebudak. Dah saya ambik gambar telur tu kat pasar malam, kenalah jugak saya beli. tapi Tak apalah harganya RM2.00 sahaja. Lainlah kalau harganya RM10.00 untuk sedozen.

Saya juga teringat semasa saya kecil di Muar. kalau duduk-duduk makam mee bandung ke satay for breakfast kat Muar tu, mesti ada orang datang jual telur burung puyuh. kekadang mak saya beli. Saya tak tau harganya..tapi kalau mak saya beli tu, murahlah tu.

Lepas tu, aku teringat Kisah Nabi Musa a.s.. Ada cerita pasal quail. Tapi dalam translation bahasa Melayu is salwa (burung sebangsa puyuh). Kalau rajin bacalah kat bawah ni.

Dalam perjalanan menuju Thur Sina setelah melintasi lautan di bahagian utara dari Laut Merah dan setelah mereka (Bani Israel yang keluar dari Mesir di pimpin oleh Nabi Musa a.s. dan Nabi Harun a.s. ) merasa aman dari kejaran Fir'aun dan kaumnya. Mereka terserempa dengan sekelompok orang-orang yang sedang menyembah berhala dengan tekunnya.

We took the Children of Israel (with safety) across the sea. they came upon a people devoted entirely to some idols they had. They said :O Moses! Fashion for us A god like unto the gods they have. He said:Surely ye are a people Without knowledge.

As to these folk-The cult they are in is (but) a fragment of a ruin, and vain is the worship) which they practise.

He said: "Shall I seek for you A god other than the (true) God, when it is Allah who hath endowed you with gifts above the nations?

And remember We rescued you from Pharoah's people, who afflicted you with the worst of penalties, who slew your male children and saved alive your females: In that was a momentous trial from your Lord."7:138-141 Surah Al A'Raf

Then the group moved on heading to Mt. Sinai. It was a hot, scorching journey. There were no trees nor shades. So orang-orang Bani Israell yang keletihan, kepanasan, kelaparan mendesak Nabi Musa a.s. supaya memohon kepda Allah shelter and food.

We divided them into twelve tribes or Nations. we directed Moses by inspiration, when his (thirsty) people asked Him for water: "Strike the rock with thy staff" : out of it there gushed forth twelve springs: Each group knew its own place for water. We gave them the shade of clouds, and sent down to them manna and quails, (saying) "Eat of the good things We have provided for you" " (buth they rebelled) : to Us. They did no harm, but they harmed their own souls. 7:160 - Surah Al A'Raf

But still they are not happy. Sangat manja mereka tu. Insatiable lot they are. And they asked Moses to give them more because they are bored with one type of food.

And remember ye said:"O moses! We cannot endure one kind of food (always); so beseech thy Lord foe us to produce for us what the earth groweth-its pot-herbs, and cucumbers, its garlic, lentils, and onions" He said:"Will you exchange the better for the worst? Go ye down to any town, and ye shall find what ye want!" 2:61 - Al Baqarah

There was also the mentioning of quails like in the verse 7:160 in Al Baqarah 2:57

And we gave you the shade of clouds and sent down to you manna and quails, saying: "Eat of the good things We have provided for you" " (buth they rebelled) : to Us. They did no harm, but they harmed their own souls. 2:57 - Surah Al Baqarah .

So itulah cerita saya hari ni yang ada kena mengena dengan burung puyuh or salwa or quails as mentioned in the Quran.
