Trip to Zoo Negara

Iman & Iffah went to Zoo Negara with their cousin, Zulaikha. Since dia org dah ada chaperon, Abg Zainol, so takyah la aku ikut. Abg Zainol is Zulaikha's father. Aku spend time with Hubby. We went to Jusco AU2.

Dah lepas CNY ni, murah pulak limau lokam tu. It was selling at RM1.50 perkg tadi kat Jusco. I think that's the cheapest lokam u can get. An advise given by a chinese friend, dont eat too many of those limau, nanti sakit tekak and batuk teruk, mcm aku sekarang la. Maximum boleh makan cuma abt 3 biji seminggu. Aku tibai sampai 4kg dalam masa 2 hari. Hantu limau la katakan.. hehe

Kesian anak aku, tak pernah main dgn lembu

Customer : "ya".

Kashfi

Last week aku balik kampung my parents kejap. Kampung ni terletak kat tepi Gunung Tebu, somewhere in Jabi, Terengganu. Waktu pagi tempat ni sejuk yg amat, kalah Cameron Highland. I'm in love again... this time with this cute little boy called Kashfi. I wanted to kidnap him, tapi tak berkesempatan sebab parents dia ada, nanti la.. I'm waiting for the right moment to take him away from my brother.. hehehe... dalam mimpi je la nampaknya :D

Ice Cream!

Yay!! Aku berjaya makan ice cream hari ni.. hehe.. For the kids, I bought strawberry & Apple ice-cream. Sungguh sedap sekali. The ice-cream is made from natural ingredients. Somehow aku suka pulak korean ice-creams, not too sweet mcm ice-cream Walls or Nestle yang made in Thailand or China. So kalau beli ice-cream fruit flavours, memang rasa fruits.

Teringat masa zaman kecik2 dulu, aku suka betul makan ice-cream Tutti Frutti. Masa tu it was selling at RM0.40 sebatang. Now dah naik jadi RM1.00, pastu rasa mcm makan colouring je, tak sedap langsung, kecik pulak tu. Sakit hati je beli.

Ni Ice-Cream korea tu



Iman makan ice-cream lepas balik sekolah

Sakit Kepala again

Aku balik keje dengan kepala yg tersgt la beratnya. Pastu Hubby cakap dia nak ajak keluar makan. Sungguh takde mood. Ye la, tgh sakit kepala ni, malas nak duduk kat kedai makan, dgn bunyi bisingnya, dengan org yg ramainya, dengan bunyi TV yang kuat and dgn the kids yang tak habis2 bercakap.

Hari ni Iman & Iffah mabuk Upin & Ipin. Tak habis2 dengan "Selamat Pagi Cikgu" nye intonation, yang telah diubah suai menjadi mcm2 version termasuk la "Selamat Malam Mama", "Selamat Petang Cikgu", "Selamat Malam Nekton" dan mcm2 lagi. Nak je Mama bertukar menjadi harimau, tapi kesian pulak, lately ni asyik kena marah je sebab Mama has not been feeling very well since last week.

Today Iffah jadi chef kat dapur dibantu oleh mama. Aku peeled the apples, Iffah siapkan the crumble. Nak sgt2 makan Apple Crumble/ Apple Crisp dgn ice-cream. But unfortunately, ice-cream takde.. huwaaaa.. sedey!!..

Dinner Tonite

Letih sungguh hari ni. Breakfast kat Kuala Terengganu, lunch in Kemaman and dinner in KL. Pagi tadi plan nya nak bertolak awal, but as usual, since we all ni bukannya early risers, maka, pukul 9am baru ler nak pack barang masuk kereta.

My SIL K.Nor, ajak breakfast nasik dagang. We all pegi Batu Buruk. Kat situ ada kedai nasik dagang tak sedap and mahal, tapi sebab takde choice, musim cuti mcm ni, dgn orang yg ramai, bangun lambat some more, maka terpaksa la duduk and makan kat tempat tu. Ingatkan pukul 9.30am tu awal lagi, rupanya tak. By the time we all nak order nasik dagang, dah habis. Sempat order nasik minyak 3 pinggan je, pastu habis jugak. Last sekali aku makan laksa kuah merah, the kids makan nasik minyak. My MIL makan nasik lemak.

Lepas makan, we all pun bertolak balik ke KL. Before balik, aku ajak Hubby pegi visit my dear friend Nora who lost her mother on sunday. Her mom passed away sebab cancer, meninggal kat KL and kebumi kat Terengganu, next to Arwah Ayah Nora. My deepest condolence to Nora and her family. Masa gi rumah Nora tadi, tak sempat nak jumpa dia, takde orang kat rumah, maybe pegi kubur agaknya.

From rumah Nora, we decided to lalu ikut pantai. Kalau ikut pantai, maknanya lalu the main towns mcm Marang, Dungun, Paka, Kerteh and Kemaman. Memang taknak lalu ikut Jabor pun sebab malas nak bersesak dgn lori2 yang besar. Oleh kerana kereta tersgtla byknya, maka we all tak berenti pun, except kat Kemaman. Hubby wanted to buy kopi HaikPeng for his sister, K.Mei.

Sempat jugak we all berenti lunch kat Kemaman. Then aku tak tau apa yg berlaku dalam kereta sebab aku tido all the way sampai Genting Sempah. Iffah siap complaint lagi that aku snored in the car. I was like.. zzzzz.. biar betul! Must be really tired coz the nite before aku balik rumah MIL kul 2am, pegi minum dgn my SILs kat Air Buah Gelas Besar somewhere dekat dgn Sekolah Ibrahim Fikri. Since KT takde pubs or clubs, we all terpaksa la lepak kat situ. As if aku ni pernah gi pubs or clubs.. hehe.. Tu kira girls nite out la tu, but Terengganu version :)

Dinner orang malas. What's so special abt jagung ni was that, aku grilled jagung ni dulu, then sapu butter, condensed milk and tabur garam. Peh!! best!!

BBQ Chicken. Another orang malasnya dish.



Tadi ada grill some lamb shoulder for Hubby, tapi tersgt la malasnya nak ambik gambar, nothing special pun :)

BACK!!!

I'm back!! Gonna update my blog tonite! :D

Terengganu

Tomorrow, we'll be going back to Terengganu. So I wont be updating my blog for few days. I hope to learn few new recipes from Hubby's aunt. Hubby's aunt, Cik Haq memang pandai masak. Dia masak masakan yang dah lama takde. Among masakan yg aku belajar dari Cik Haq ni termasuk la Nasik Telur, Apam Dewa & Dador. I'm pretty sure tak ramai yang tahu masakan tu.

Today, my voice has decided to desert me. sob sob.. Serak giler suara, nak bercakap pun sakit tekak. Pastu tgh2 cakap, tiba2 suara hilang. I guess my voice pun decided to take a vacation too. I hope I'll get better by tomorrow. I seriously need a break... Aku nak balik kampung!!!!!

Ni gambar kat Beting Lintang, Tembila Terengganu. Bot2 kecik ni belong to nelayan2 kat situ. Everyday, dia orang akan ke laut, pastu by 3-5pm, balik ke pantai. Masa tu la boleh tengok ikan2 fresh. Peh! best makan ikan fresh. Bila dah biasa makan ikan fresh, ikan kat Pasar Borong Selayang or Pasar Tani boleh kim salam babai la. Dah quite few years jugak la aku tak makan ikan kat Pasar sebab takleh telan. Aku cuma makan ikan yang Mok or Abah beli kat tepi pantai sahaja. Cerewet kan? hehe..

Demam

Since last week, dah janji dgn Zana and As nak buat Vietnamese Roll. Patut today kul 10am, dia org datang rumah, buat the roll and makan sama2. But since last nite, I've not been feeling very well. So terpaksa la cancel dgn dia org. Sorry again Zana and As. Kita buat lepas CNY yek.

Bila dah sakit ni, nak makan tak lalu, masak tu jauh sekali. Pagi tadi at about 5am, Hubby came back from Johor, was too drowsy from medication to greet him properly. Kul 7.45am send the kids off to KAFA pastu sambung tido. About 11am, Hubby lapar, and takde apa2 kat dapur. *sigh*.. nak masak apa for brunch? Last sekali goreng mee and masak grilled lamb. Walaupun simple, tapi alhamdulillah, kenyang jugak.

Dah few days tak makan nasik sebab tekak sakit. Kids requested Mama to prepare sushi for their lunch pack to school. Dalam mata yang almost takleh bukak, terpaksa la masak sushi. Luckily my rice cooker ada setting utk masak sushi rice. So keje tak la susah mana. I omitted the step where u have to kipas the nasik sambil kacau tu. Tak kuasa la aku nak mengipas nasik tu :)

Oh ya! Tomorrow I'll be off to Terengganu for few days. Will be back on Wednesday. Happy holiday everyone :)

Sushi - dah muak dah nak makan ni.. but the kids love it!

Ni bukan lemang, but sushi rolls before dipotong dgn pisau



My sweet girls :)

Chit Chat

Iffah : Mama!! Abbas korek hidung!!

Mama : Alaa.. biar je la

Iffah : Mama!!! Dia makan taik hidung dia.

Mama : What???????!!!!!!!!!!

How disgusting is that? Abbas is Giant (dalam cite Doraemon) in the making. Tiba2 teringat ada satu episode dalam cerita Doreamon, Giant korek taik hidung and kumpul sampai jadi besar mcm bola.. yuck!!

Sorry.. too tired, too sleepy, drowsy because of the cough syrup that I took earlier. Iffah chattering non stop, Iman tossing in bed, Mama feeling miserable without Abah around. What a day!

Hadiah From Makcik Sae Mi Mart

Before balik rumah tadi, aku singgah kat Sae Mi Mart. Hajatnya nak beli rice paper roll lagi sebab kawan aku Zana yg tgh sarat pregnant, teringin sgt nak makan Vietnamese Rice Paper Roll yg aku selalu buat tu. Lepas dah ambik 4 bungkus rice paper, then masa nak bayar, Makcik Sae Mi Mart bagi aku hadiah. Apakah hadiah ituuu?? Jeng Jeng Jeng..

Glutinous Rice Cake - Deok



Gambar tu aku ambik from wikipedia. Sorry, terpaksa ambik gambar kat situ sebab by the time nak ambik gambar, tgk2, Iffah dah habiskan semua. Dia hantu rice cake mcm Mama jugak.

Today Iman & Iffah start exam. Aduh! sakitnya kepala. Baru masuk sekolah 3 minggu, dah ada exam. Tgk dalam list yg cikgu bagi, ni exam prestasi. Iffah mcm stress je duduk dalam kelas dia sekarang. ada 40 students, 18 pengawas. She was complaining abt how the pengawas2 tu manjang tulis nama dia, coz dia susah nak berenti cakap. Dia memang ikut Abah dia, bila dah bercakap, takleh berenti.

Iman pulak complaint that ada boy kat dalam kelas dia main tendang and tertendang kaki iman sampai lebam. Nak je jadi Mama Monster and karate budak tu. But nanti kena masuk balai pulak. I really dont understand kenapa cikgu tak boleh nak control budak2 kat dalam kelas. Argh! byknya masalah. Really wish Hubby is here..

How to Make Bibimbap

Recipe ni simple je. Mula2 aku pun ingatkan susah, but bila tgk Maanchi nye youtube on how to make bibimbap, senang pulak. Tak tau pesal lately ni aku cam kemaruk makan korean food. Bear with me k :). I didnt add kosari. According to makcik Sae Mi Mart tu, Bibimbap is mix rice with vegetables. Any veges will do. So takyah la susah payah cari veges yg pelik2. Yesterday I only use bayam, carrot, shitake mushroom & bean sprouts.

http://www.maangchi.com/recipes/bibimbap

For 4- 6 servings.

Ingredients:

• Cooked rice
• a package of bean sprouts
• a bunch of spinach
• 2 small size of zucchinis

Arrange everything on a platter.

4. Cut 2 small size zucchinis into thin strips, sprinkle them with a pinch of salt, and then mix them together. A few minutes later, sauté them in a pan over high heat. When it’s cooked, it will look a little translucent. Put it on the platter.
5. You can buy soaked and cooked “kosari” at a Korean grocery store. Prepare about 2 or 3 cups of kosari for this 4 servings of bibimbap. Cut it into pieces 5-7 cm long and sauté in a heated pan with 1 ts of vegetable oil. Stir and add 1 tbs of soy sauce, 1/2 tbs of sugar, and cook them for 1-2 minutes. Add sesame oil. Put it on the platter.
6. Slice shitake mushrooms thinly and sauté with 1 ts of vegetable oil. Add 2 ts of soy sauce and 1 or 2 ts of sugar and stir it for 2 minutes. Add some sesame oil, and put it on the platter.
7. On a heated pan, put some oil and 200 grams of ground beef and stir it. Add 4 cloves of minced garlic, 1 tbs of soy sauce, 1/2 tbs of sugar, a little grounded black pepper, and sesame oil.
   Put it on the platter.
8. Cut a carrot into strips, sauté it for 30 seconds and put it on the platter.
9. prepare eggs with sunny side up.
10. Put your rice In a big bowl, and attractively display all your vegetables and meat. Place the sunny side up egg on the center.
11. Serve it with sesame oil and hot pepper paste.
12. Lastly, mix it up and eat!

Tiring Day

Tak tau pesal rasa letih sgt today. Maybe sebab semlm buat exercise lower body, so hari ni bangun dgn badan yg sakit. I wish I'm blessed with body kurus, slim mlim macam setengah orang. But unfortunately, I'm not! Hubby said it's due to my Pakistani genes, everything XXL, the kind that you can only see dalam cite tamil. Well, I'm the next heroin tamil in the making, if I don't start exercising. So tu la yang beria2 nak exercise.

Actually dulu masa belajar takde la bulat camni. But with PCOS, I'm gaining weight even though I eat sikit sgt. Tu yang frustrating. One of the symptoms of PCOS is Obesity. sob sob.. sedih sedih. But my friend As commented that dalam ramai2 kawan dia yg ada PCOS, I'm the slimmest. hehe.. ye la tu.

Aku just nak upload gambar some of cucu2 Mok. Aku ciplak dari blog my sister

Mas, sorry, gambar engkau kena cedok :D

Bibimbap

Nak upload pics je dulu, later will update blog :)

My lunch today. (Sorry dear, I makan sorang2, U telan air liur je la kat Johor ye)

Sayur & Lamb



Ni dah campur dgn nasik, telur goreng, hot paste sauce (Gochuchang) & seaweed

My Cute Visitor

Ni tetamu yg tak diundang. I went out with my mum, with him tagging along.. Maka nak ke taknak, terpaksa la bawak. Malas nak bawak dia gi Jusco AU2 tu, I left him at my house with Makcik Ton. Biar dia main kat rumah dgn my daughters and Abbas.

Body Odour

Where do I start ??

Tadi I arrived at my work place a bit early, about 4.20pm. Masa tu Ju Hee, my student was there alone, watching movie in the computer room. Then tiba2, bau perfume yg tersgt la kuat and busuknya menusuk hidung. OMG!! bau tu stay from friday until today?? Lama giler!!.

Ever since the new teacher, Mr. F (No no.. It doesnt stand for F**ker) datang mengajar kat situ, the whole place smell like him.. huwaaa... it's soooo busuk. The kind of smell that makes u wanna hold ur breath sampai muka jadi hijau. I can't stand the smell!!!!! Argh!!! How to tell him??? One of my student did cakap kat dia that she cant stand his BO. Guess what he did?? He sniffed his right armpit, then left armpit, pastu pusing kat student tu, cakap takde apa2 pun. Ada jugak cikgu mcm tu.

Teringat pasal another teacher, Mr. J. Lepas dia quit mengajar last year, the students dok bercerita abt his behaviour dalam kelas. Normally dia akan scratch his chest, pastu sniff his fingers, then scratch his armpit, then sniff again. I was like.. WHAT THE ...!!! Dia boleh buat mcm tu depan students.. zzz.. Sometimes he will scratch his crotch, pastu sniff lagi.. zzzz... Rasa mcm nak pengsan dengar. And dia akan burp (belch) depan students. Kalau kebetulan dia makan something yg bau kuat, maka satu kelas la berbau... Tension budak2 tu.

I know, it's bad to talk abt other ppl. But today, memang takleh tahan. Selalunya, 99% of the time, I'd avoid talking bad abt ppl. Hari ni dah tahap tak tahan lagi dah... *sigh*.. sorry..

Kayuh Basikal

It's sad that at the age of 9 (Iman) and 8 (iffah), they still can't ride basikal dua roda until this afternoon. I know I'm such a bad mom. All this while, they were riding bikes with training wheels. I tried teaching Iman before, but somehow, Iman takut. So I never tried again until today.

Since budak2 ni takde basikal yg suitable for their age, terpaksa la Hubby adjusted saddle basikal dia org masa they were abt 3 yrs old. Hehe.. dont fret, basikal tu actually besar jugak. I was able to ride on that bike, demonstrating my riding skill to my kids and they were laughing like hell... zzz.. they said Mama looks so funny riding a small bike. Yeah! I know, nampak lemak2 dari sisi, bila kena duduk atas saddle yg kecik. Sakit bontot bila bangun dari saddle tu. I need an extra padded saddle for my big butt!

Iffah naik sekali je, terus dah boleh paddle the bike, but Iman needed more time to practise. As of now, Iman still not successful with her attempts. Kesian Iman, maybe she needs Abah to help her. Abah is always patient with her, Mama as usual, Singa Betina.. hehe.

Tiba2, teringat pulak masa Iman and Iffah still kecik. We bought Iman her bike when she was abt 3 1/2, Iffah's when she was 2 1/2. Iffah pandai kayuh basikal dulu dari Kakak. So Kakak was very sad abt it. Today pun sama, Iffah dah ok, iman still takleh lagi. Kesiannya anak Mama.. Tunggu Abah balik la ye sayang.

Liza and Eddie (Hubby's frens) came over for lunch. Since today mcm malas nak masak, so I cooked Bulgogi, Potato Salad and Vietnamese Rice Paper Roll again. Nora and As came a bit later. Nora bagi her homemade Sardine Roll. Thank you Nora! Susah payah engkau drive from Ampang semata2 nak hantar Sardine Roll tu.

Dalam one of my posting, aku dah bagi recipe apa yg patut ada dalam vietnamese rice paper roll. Today just ambik gambar je. :)

Red, Green, Yellow Capsicum, Bwg Besar, Tomato, Canned Pineapple

Sliced Mutton yg dah digrill

Sango Pear & Gong Pear

Lemon, Limau Kasturi, Fish Sauce, Cili Padi, Crushed garlicsSoba

Bulgogi again.

Sumo Baby - Part 2

Semlm pegi rumah my mum, sebab nak pulangkan balik kete adik aku. Since Thursday, my car duduk kat workshop, kena tukar engine mounting. Punya la susah nak dapat parts engine mounting tu, so bila dah dapat all the four partS, maka immediately tukar. Tapi sebab nak kena bukak engine to change the engine mounting, maka tersadai la kat workshop tu for 3 days.

Oleh kerana Hubby needs a car to go to work, and I need a car to send kids to school, maka kena pinjam kete adik. Lepas hantar kete semlm, sempat la jenguk Sumo Baby tu. Yesterday dia dilanda angin kuskus, very moody. Maybe sebab nak tido kot. Bila kiss pipi dia, marah sgt2. hehe. .. lagi la aku suka mengusik. Masa sampai rumah my mum, Mummy dia baru je lepas mandikan.

Muka tension je. Pakai bengkung pun sampai kat dada. Ni bengkung size XL


Senyum bila Mummy dia panggil.
Lengan ni dah mcm kek lapis. :)


Aunty, go away pls. (muka stress sebab dapat Auntyrazzi, tak habis2 ambik gambar dia) hehe..

A Busy Saturday - Part 1

Bangun pagi today dok pikir, apa la nak masak. I prepared mutton bacon for Hubby's breakfast. Pastu sambung balik pikir, the kids nanti nak makan apa pulak. Susah jugak jadi mak ni, hari2 nak kena pikir benda yang sama. So project hari ni adalah Vietnamese Rice Paper Roll, Beef Burger for the kids, Spring Rolls for tea, and Raisin & Walnut Bread for Baba.

Before aku mempamerkan semua yg tersebut kat atas tu, nak tunjuk budak manja menangis. Dia sibuk sgt nak tolong grate carrot for spring rolls, tapi oleh kerana dia ni a bit tebolah (ni bahasa terengganu. maksudnya careless kot, nanti akan aku tanya apa maksudnya), maka terkena la jari. Melalak la pulak kat dapur. Ish! dah la hari ni panas, buatkan aku lagi panas. Kakak is trying to pujuk Adik without realising that she's wearing seluar yg koyak.. hehe.

Iffah a.k.a Adik (Dia memang rajin, suka tolong kat dapur)

Masa ni ok lagi, tgh tunjuk skill. Omit pemandangan keliling yg tak menyedapkan mata tu.. hehe. Dapur mmg selalu semak :)


Saat-saat jari berdarah. Kuat sgt2 dia menjerit.. sakit kepala Mama dibuatnya


Setelah puas nangis, baru nak check jari still intact ke tak.. hahaha. Tu nampak kaki Kakak kat belakang, berlari2 dari depan TV nak tgk, apa dah jadi dgn Adik yang dok melalak2 tu.


Berusaha keras nak pujuk adik. Teringat gambar masa dia org kecik, kat A Famosa, sama scene :)


Adik menangis, Kakak pujuk. (A Famosa when Kakak was 5 yrs old, adik was 4 yrs old)

Sushi

Since kecik, my kids are very fond of sushi dan yg sewaktu dengannya. Yang paling dia org suka, Onigiri. Masa tu we went to Japan, visiting my brother, Harun. We went there for 3 weeks. Bila keluar, ration yg selalu ada dalam bag were roti and onigiri. Onigiri ni ada mcm2 fillings and flavours.

Yesterday for their lunch, I prepared this, I used imitation crab meat and cucumber.

Vinegar & Mayo that I use

Siap ada instruction kat bawah packaging, cara2 nak bukak the wrapper.

The kids love tuna mayo filling. Balik M'sia, asyik nak Onigiri, but mana nak cari. So everytime their uncle balik cuti, kirim la berpuluh2 onigiri, pastu sumbat peti. Now that their uncle dah balik M'sia, kim salam ler nak makan onigiri. Even Isetan pun takde jual.

Here's a few I checked out recently.

Chikin Raisu Chicken Rice: Pretty much Mexican rice with little bits of chicken in it. Another store has these with an egg crepe rapped around them which makes them a little less messy on your fingers. Yaki Onigiri Slighty grilled around the edges, Onigiri. This is a pretty basic kind of onigiri your mom might make though it's not that common at the combini. Ebi Chiri Chaahan Shrimp in chili sauce and fried rice. YUMMY!!!! This is one of my favorites. Ume Chirimen Plum Crepe? Actually I'm not sure what this is. I know that Ume is a plum and used in cooking it's usually pickled so it's really really sour. You use very little bits of one to flavor the food. Ebikatsu breaded fried shrimp temakizushi style. Temakizushi means hand roll. I used to prefer handrolls when I first got here. The reason is there is more stuffing per bite vs. the other shapes but unfortunately there are not nearly as many varieties of handrolls at most stores. Toriyaki Sooseeji Ham sausage and nori with mayo underneath. This is a good one two. In Hawaii you can get something similar except using Spam instead and with no mayo. I like this one better personally, especially warmed. Ebi Mayoneezu Shrimp and mayo. Think seafood salad. This is always a good one. I guess I just like mayo. Takana I'm assuming that's what this is. It's not listed in any of my dictionaries using that kanji but guessing that would make it mustard leaves which seems about right. It's got little bits of green things like pickles mixed in. It says they are Shaki-shaki which means crispy. Katsukaree pirafu Breaded pork in curry sauce pilaf. Yes! Shio Karubi Salt Karubi. Karubi is a Korean style of making beef. It's marinated and then grilled. Good stuff. Shiichikin Mayoneezu Sea Chicken and Mayo or in other words tuna salad. This is a pretty basic one now a days and it's always good. Shake Mentaiko Shake is Salmon. Mentaiko is some kind of very small fish eggs that are rather spicy. I don't know if they are naturally spicy or if they are prepared that way but they are pretty good. It's common to use them in a cream sauce with pasta too. Saamon Mayoneezu Salmon and mayo. If you haven't noticed by now the Japanese like mayo. That's just fine with me.
