The greasy feel

The unfinished extended kitchen

Before the blocking of walls

Yipee! Our wet kitchen is finally done.It is now open for cooking.

 2014

This kitchen is mainly use  for cooking and washing.There's only just a sink and a gas stove.Very simple but great enough for cooking oily food and not ever to oil my beautiful and expensive cabinets Waters will also not spilled everywhere to wet and damaged the cabinets.So,in other words,the dry kitchen is for dining and storing food.A warm place to relax in the afternoon for a hot/cold tea/ coffee.Why in the world need two kitchen when you already have one to use?You may have wonder.Mostly in Malaysia,we had two kitchen.It's because we tend to cook oily food more often.Frying fish is an example.Now,I tell you why I need two.In recent years,I've difficulty trying to clean the greasy yakki thing(very oily) off my kitchen cabinets.Oil splashed everywhere on the floor and I can't wash the floor which make the greasy feeling when your feet touch on it when you wallked.Mopping the floor won't be as clean as washing the floor with a detergent.With the  now outside kitchen next to it,I can now wash the floor after my cooking is done.(of couse not everyday,only when it gets too oily)Besides that,with the oven shifted outside,I can easily baked and grilled chicken without feeling hot and greasy inside the living room.Malaysia is already a hot and humid place.Between the living room and the kitchen,there are no walls to cover.

See here?This is the divider between the dry kitchen and the wet kitchen

 

Actually,when I first moved in this house,I used to cook outside the kitchen, but it so happen that there are sometimes rats,cats and even dogs coming in from the backyard.Because of this,I have to move in to the inside to cook.This led to my poor cabinets being dirty and the base is now spoilt a little bit from getting damp.Most people here in Malaysia have two kitchens,so I persuade my hubby to make one for me.Hmmm......he do it all by himself to save cost.He took so long though,about six months,but just in time for the Chinese New Year celebration.
