Swiss Apple Pie and Nur Kasih Letdown..

I was so excited semalam to watch Nur Kasih. Tak penah2 rasa excited tengok cerita melayu macam tu. Tapikan, it was a letdown. Hmpph! Baik takyah gi tengok. If only Remy Ishak can act better, if only cerita tu tak meleret2, if only cerita tu logic sikit, then it will be perfect. I love the cinematography and the soundtrack. But, that's about it! I dont like the movie at all. The only scene yang aku suka was the scene when Aidil cakap he'll always be there for Nur, which was in the last part of the movie and lasted for few seconds only.

Pastu, lagi satu, aku tak paham, kena Nur tak kenal semua orang? Dia kena Alzheimer? Parkinson? Weh! I'm confused. Pesal pulak anak dia, dia kenal? Why the solemn look in everyone's face in the end? Ada orang mati ke? Masa part Adam was hospitalised lepas accident in Jordon, his student visited him. Tak ingat nama student dia tu. Lepas visit Adam, the student pegi kat Health Screening center.

Towards the end of the show, ada scene where Adam had a heart problem, which at the same time, the student yg pegi health screening center tu mati kena pukul. Then, Adam hidup. Roger was asking us (masa minum kopi, lepas dah tengok Nur Kasih), macam mana Adam hidup, padahal dia ada heart problem. Then we told her, student Adam tu yg derma jantung. Roger tanya lagi, masa bila pulak dia jadi organ donor dalam cerita tu. We told her about the health screening center scene. Baru Roger paham. That's how confusing the story goes.

Frust!!! Lagi best layan drama dia..

Enough of Nur Kasih The Movie. Semalam aku baked this version of Apple Pie. Aku ada banyak granny smith dalam peti, more than 30 bijik. Yea.. I know.. I can get carried away when it comes to buying apples. I saw this recipe kat Priya.

 Hubby ate 1/4 of the pie. It's very delicious!


Yum!

Swiss Apple Pie
Adapted from Priya

2 cups Granny Smith apples (cubed)
1 cup  flour
1 cup brown sugar (I'll reduce it to 3/4 C next time)
1tsp baking powder
2 large eggs
1/2 cup walnuts
1tsp vanilla extract
1/8tsp salt
For the first time, I dont need to use my mixer. Heat the oven at 180 celcius. 
Just mix the dry ingredients first ie flour, baking powder, salt with a whish. Then, in a different bowl, whisk eggs, brown sugar and vanilla until combine, slowly add the dry ingredients. Last, fold in apples and walnut.  Pour the batter in a greased and floured pie dish.
Bake for 30minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean.

    I selalu melawat you cuma kadang2 you update your blog a tad too fast for me to catch up and to comment. Kadang kala sambil golek2, I surf blog kawan2 guna hp tapi lately ada problem bila baca your entry. At first I could read a line or two, pastu dia lip lap teruslah the page jadi gelap gulita whereas tulisan kat your blogroll boleh jer dibaca.

    NurKasih somewhat a let down. Banyak nak dikomen but somehow berkaca2 gak mata I at the end of the movie, hehe. Nur mmg hilang ingatan due to an illness kot, tu sbb Aidil keeps on reading Adam's diary to her to 'rewind' her memory. Bila Nur boleh kenal her own son, tandanya her memory dah back to normallah tuu, hehe.. terasa kelakar pulak.

  4. Chikmi,

    my hubby suka sgt pie tu sebab takde butter. selalunya kalau i ada extra green apples, i buat apple crisp or apple pie. iman and iffah suka apple crisp sebab the crumbs :)

  5. CS,

    Ooo.. patutla lama nampak kat sini. I thought u went off for a holiday somewhere. rindu sgt2 kat u.. hehe.. mcm org bercinta la pulak.

    Mata i pun berkaca2 masa tengok ending. Letih sebenarnya tengok cerita yang kena buat tafsiran sendiri ni. tu yang i, sampai sudah tak paham kenapa nur tak kenal anak2 sedara.

    I belum ambik lagi ur tiket, tapi dah beli. sorry sgt, memang semlm tak sempat. I sampai dah lambat, just sempat utk solat maghrib before tengok nur kasih. by the time habis nur kasih, panjang la plak queue kat kaunter tiket tu. err.. i dont have to queue pun, cuma malas tengok org ramai.

    maybe today or tomorrow baru i pegi ambik tiket. sorry ye ju :)

  7. I agree with you about Nur Kasih. The series is much better than the film. The Islamic aspect of Nur Kasih yg i suka tu.

  12. kak ina,

    rasanya kan, kalau my mom ada kl, dia pun nak tengok cerita nur kasih the movie tu.. walaupun dia dah more than 30 tahun tak tengok wayang.. hehe.. maybe i patut belikan dia pirated movie nur kasih. ops! ishk! rasa bersalah pulak :D

    i tak sure apa nama jalan kat depan syed tu, tapi memang betul la. his wife is a malay lady. dulu2 selalu jugak kita org lepak kat situ. hubby went there dgn kawan dia, jatuh cinta dgn tempat tu, terus jadi tempat kita org beli burger. but burger dia mahal la sikit. mahal pun, sangat2 mengenyangkan :D
