Ayam Gulai Pedas

Today aku belajar masak Ayam Gulai Pedas from aunty Hubby. Aku suka sgt2 belajar from aunty Hubby ni, Che Haq. Belajar la masak apa sekali pun, insyaAllah menjadi. So far aku dah belajar few Terengganu dishes termasuk la Nasi Telur, Apam Dewa and Dador.

Tomorrow nak belajar buat Rokok Arab, InsyaAllah. Now aku saji gambar la dulu yek. Too tired nak berceloteh panjang lebar sebab hari ni extremely panas. Rasa mcm kena heat stroke, kepala tengah sakit.

Upin & Ipin

Semlm bawak anak2 pegi tengok cerita Upin & Ipin. Mula-mula nak book online, pastu tried few cinemas, TGV, Cineleisure, Golden Screen & MBO, semua full. Aku dah suspen sebab dah janji dengan the kids nak tengok Upin & Ipin. Last sekali, ajak Hubby pegi MBO kat Galaxy Ampang. Pergh! ramai giler orang beratur nak beli tiket. Aku kena beratur more than 1/2 hour. Alhamdulillah dapat jugak tiket akhirnya. Phew! lega.

Aku beli tiket 5.15pm. Initially, plan tgk movie cuma aku, iman & Iffah. Pastu teringat pulak kat Zuleikha, anak sedara Hubby. So aku pun belikan tiket untuk dia sama. Jauh Hubby kena ambik Zuleikha, kat Bangsar. Kesian Hubby aku. Takpe la, berkorban untuk kakak dia sebab kesian pulak kat his sister kalau nak datang Melawati semata2 nak hantar anak dia sorang tu.

Lepas tengok Upin & Ipin, dah almost maghrib. By the time sampai rumah, the kids dah lapar. So terpaksa la Mama masak. Adeh! letihnya.. dah la seharian keluar. Our dinner yesterday...

Pizza Bun

For the past few days, dapur rumah aku dah bertukar menjadi bakery. This is Iffah's favourite. Aku tried few basic sweet dough recipes. This one using Mat Gebu's recipe. Thank you Cik Mat :)

Pizza Bun

Sausage yang aku guna tu not the frankfurter yg ada jual kat supermarket. This one is gourmet sausage. Kebetulan masa aku gi Tesco Ampang, the sausages were sold at 70% off their normal selling price. Selalunya about RM7-9 for 4 pcs, masa aku beli tu price ranges between RM1.60-RM2.20. Memang murah, dan sedap! :D

Thank you rina for the award. So sweet of you :)

Facebook again

Tadi dok sibuk2 bakar roti, tak sedar my hubby dah update his FB status.

It started with this

"Fadil doesnt celebrate Valentine's Day..but he celebrates his wife everyday..he's so lucky that it's almost unfair :)"

Then after few comments from his friend, he wrote this

"For a notty guy as nasty as I am, having this wonderfully loving person makes me feel blessed. On days that I thought God has forsaken me, all it takes is for me to go home to her eyes that radiates honest love, loving support, accepting my shortcomings unconditionally...then I realized how much God loves me..I am so lucky bro, it's almost unfair..:)"

Erm... boleh caya ke? I guess Valentine's Day came early this year for me :)

I never celebrated Valentine before, don't intend to in the future. .... Masa sekolah dulu, time Valentine, ramai la pet sister yg bagi apple or chocolate pada kakak2 yang dia org minat. Aku ada jugak dapat few, tak sangka wanita brutal mcm aku ni pun, ada adik2 yang minat... hehe

Funny Stickers

Out of boredom, I decided to google "Funny Stickers" and I found few :)

Facebook

I'm a hardcore facebook fan. Today, upon reaching home, terus masuk bilik, duduk depan PC. Unfortunately I cant connect to facebook. What's happening??? Argh!!!! I cant live without facebook!!!.. Am I crazy? I think so..

Buns For Kids

Pagi2 lagi aku dah menyaksikan kematian seekor tikus gemuk. My maid managed to capture sekor tikus gemuk kat dapur. Aku rasa tikus ni ada rupa Gus dalam cite Cinderella, gemuk dan boyot. Since rumah aku ni rumah lama, so tikus pun byk. Dah byk kali tangkap pun, ada lagi saki baki tikus yang tinggal. Habis kabinet rumah aku kena gigit.

Aku mcm pelik, pesal kat oversea takde la pulak problem tikus. Masa aku duduk Tasmania dulu, jangankan tikus, cicak pun takde. Lipas pun aku tak pernah nampak. Bahagia hidup aku time tu. Aku geli tengok binatang yang perut lembik seperti cicak, tikus, katak dan yang sewaktu dengannya.

Enuff of cicak and tikus, today nak cakap pasal bread and buns. Semlm teringin sangat nak makan homemade roti, so aku pun cari la recipe dalam internet. Jumpa recipe Alex Goh. Aku tak suka sgt texture roti ni, my Hubby kata rasa mcm roti paung (roti terengganu) and pada aku, bun ni a bit sweet. Maybe lepas ni aku kena modify recipi tu. My kids love it nontheless. :)

Cucur Ikan Bilis + Udang Kering

Pagi2 lagi aku dah bangun sebab hidung iman berdarah. Whenever the weather is on the extreme side like yesterday, pagi panas, petang hujan, Iman will have that problem. Lately, hidung Iman berdarah quite frequent, almost everyday.

Aku dah bawak Iman pegi jumpa ENT specialist, doctor cakap takde apa2 except that vein kat dalam hidung dia senang rupture. A friend suggested to go for laser treatment, bakar vein tu, but erm... should I? Nanti la aku pikirkan.

Anyway, pagi ni, aku buat cucur ikan bilis campur udang kering and coffee for breakfast. The kids pegi sekolah bawak bekal nasik lemak yang aku beli dekat sekolah KAFA dia org. Utk Hubby, kena la masak, sebab dia dah tak suka makan nasik lemak. Ye la, dalam usaha dia nak kuruskan badan, terpaksa la.

Cucur Ikan Bilis & Udang Kering

Bahan2

2 cups of self-raising flour
1/2 cup of all purpose flour
air tak sure sukatan, but not suppose to add byk sgt sebab nanti cair
daun bawang + daun sup
3 tbs ikan bilis
2 tbs udang kering
udang basah
1 tbs stock ikan bilis
1 tbs salt

A busy Sunday - Part 1

Pagi2 lagi aku dah bangun. Since aku ni bukan a morning person, so kalau boleh bangun pagi tu, kira dah bagus la. I have to do some shopping today, tu yang nak kena bangun pagi. Tesco Ampang bukak pukul 8am, wanted to go at 8am, but as usual, bila dah bukak PC, maka segala rancangan kena put on hold. Last sekali pukul 10am baru la terhegeh2 nak pegi.

Today the plan was to make a suprised Bday party for my mum. She was 61 yrs old last thursday. Mok (I call her Mok because Mok = mak but in terengganu dialect) dah tahu that today nak buat Bday party for her, so dah tak suprise la. Potong stim jek adik aku sorang tu. Bising sangat..

Balik from Tesco, berkobar2 nak buat agar2 pelangi. But tak jadi sebabnya aku ni bukan seorg yang patient, my patience was wearing thin masa dok tunggu lapisan bawah keras, it resulted in agar2 bermacam2 kaler, without the layers. Hampeh!! frust jek.

Aku terpaksa upload gambar yg dah lama sebab takde simpan gambar mok yg baru dalam PC ni.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOK! I LOVE U SOOO MUCH.

Bulgogi Craze

Dunno why, bulgogi seems to be the in thing for my family nowadays. The kids will always ask for bulgogi for their dinner. Of course ler takleh makan daging banyak. Baru ni masa balik kampung, their aunts and nena (nenek) dok sibuk kata the kids gemuk. Erm.. I think they look ok. Takan la nak kena suruh dia org berdiet pulak, they're not even 10 yrs old.

I was forever thin masa kecik dulu. I think masa form 5 dulu, berat tak sampai 45kg. Kalau kira BMI, memang underweight. Tak tau kenapa my kids chubby a bit. I wouldnt say they are gemuk sebab they still can fit into clothes that are meant for their age. But their aunts and nena, belah my husband, a bit worried tgk my kids bulat. Maybe sebab my hubby used to be gemuk masa kecik dulu. So takut ada gene gemuk.. hehe. Given pulak aku ada darah pakistan, so lagi la.

Since today I'm a bit busy, nak pegi Chilli's dengan Sally, Nito, Syamsul and Rambo, so tak boleh la nak karang blog ni panjang2. Will talk about Chilli's tonite. Today just nak upload gambar dinner dengan bulgogi AGAIN! I still owe iman a Truffle.

Slumdog Millionaire

Layan tgk cerita Slumdog Millionaire, best giler! Aku suka Jamal masa kecik, while they were living in the slum. Sanggup terjun lubang najis semata2 nak dapat autograph Amitabh Bachchan. Tu gara2 abang dia Salim yang sakit hati sebab Jamal lambat keluar dari toilet tepi sungai.

Teringat pulak masa aku kecik2 dulu. Kat dalam bilik atuk aku pun ada toilet mcm tu. I dunno why. Ni toilet yang jenis angkat papan lantai, ada lubang kat situ, then do ur business there.

Tengok how people live in India, rasa bersyukurnya that aku lahir kat Malaysia. Bersyukur aku ada rumah and kereta, tak payah susah payah nak kena cari makan kat timbunan sampah sarap mcm countries like India, Philippines or Indonesia. Tak boleh imagine mcm mana hidup mcm dia orang, must be a very hard life for them.

Ayam oh Ayam

Bila ingat ayam KFC, dah rasa tak lalu nak makan. Mula2 excited jugak, dapat makan KFC for free, after a while, nak tgk pun dah tak selera. Kalau la Upin & Ipin tu wujud, maka takde masalah aku nak dispose ayam2 KFC tu.

Adik aku yg bongsu keje KFC sementara tunggu result. So bila time dia closing je, maka byk la ayam yg dia bawak balik. Tak selalu pun dia bawak balik ayam dgn byk, normally dalam 3-4 ketul leftovers. But these past few days, dia bawak balik more than 8 ketul. Peti sejuk rumah aku dah tukar jadi mini KFC bar. Penuh dengan ayam KFC.. zzz

Semalam aku dah buang more than 4 ketul, maka today, tak boleh la membazir lagi. Punya la ramai orang kat African countries yang takde makanan, aku pulak sesuka hari membazir. Today aku decided to buat Meehoon Sup Ayam KFC.. hehe.. bunyi cam gempak je.

Walaupun gambar aku ambik tak lawa, tapi rasanya memang sedap sgt2! hehe..
