Raina - lagu tiga kupang

This is how the song sounds like bila budak umur 2 1/2 tahun nyanyi

Lunch @ Manhattan Fish Wangsa Walk

Aku bought few groupons for the deal kat Manhattan Fish. Semalam masa tengah belek groupon pages, tiba2 ternampak that the coupons that I bought will expire on 24th May!! Oh tidak!! Maka, dalam keadaan perut yang tak berapa sihat, terpaksa la jugak ku gagahkan diri pegi lunch kat situ dengan hubby and iffah. Iman tak ikut coz dia sekolah petang. Sian anak mama.. next ok sayang..

This time the food is way better than the last time we were there. Maybe masa aku pegi last time, ramai yg tengah redeem coupon, so the kithen was busy, thus, the not so sedap food. Iffah was very hungry. Dia sorang makan 3/4 of the rice dalam huge plate tu! ishk! pastu complaint kat mama that she cant run laju anymore.

Mini frittatas by Giada De Laurentiis

Recipe ni dah lama peram. This is like telur dadar but mat salleh style.. It is really good especially makan time panas-panas.

                                     

Mini frittatas

Ingredients

8 large eggs
1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 ounces thinly sliced ham, chopped (I used Chicken Ham slices)
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan (I used cheddar cheese mixed with mozzarella cheese)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves

Directions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Spray 2 mini muffin tins (each with 24 cups) with nonstick spray or use butter. Whisk the eggs, milk, pepper, and salt in a large bowl to blend well. Stir in the ham, cheese, and parsley. Fill prepared muffin cups almost to the top with the egg mixture. Bake until the egg mixture puffs and is just set in the center, about 8 to 10 minutes. Using a rubber spatula, loosen the frittatas from the muffin cups and slide the frittatas onto a platter. Serve immediately.

Collagen dan Penuaan

Penuaan dan kolagen

 Apabila usia meningkat, pengeluaran kolagen akan berkurangan dan struktur sel menjadi lemah. Kulit menjadi nipis dan mudah rosak, rambut juga akan tidak bermaya. Kulit menjadi kendur dan kelihatan berkedut, tendon dan ligamen juga menjadi kurang elastik. Perubahan akan dirasai pada sendi dimana kadang-kadang sendi menjadi "stiff". 

Bagaimana untuk melambatkan proses penuaan ini? Pengambilan 5-10gram (5000-10000mg) collagen setiap hari akan dapat membantu memulihkan kekurangan collagen dalam badan.

 Pengambilan Puro Collagen boleh membantu menambah collagen yang diperlukan oleh kita. Untuk harga RM90, anda akan mendapat 5gram/5000mg collagen tulen.

Kenapa terlalu murah berbanding dengan collagen lain dipasaran yang telah dicampur dengan pelbagai extrak, gula, pengawet etc?

 Ini adalah kerana

1. Pembelian secara pukal dan pembungkusan semula.
2. Collagen adalah makanan. Maknanya untuk mendapat kesan yang positif, kena amalkan secara berterusan. Harga yang rendah amat penting untuk tidak membebankan pengguna.
3. Collagen sangat penting apabila umur meningkat. Kami mahu seramai mungkin mengamalkan pengambilan collagen setiap hari.

Day out with the girls

Normally, on weekends, I would stay home. Tapi last weekend, aku keluar dengan the girls. Zuleika came for sleepover. So Sunday tu we went out. As usual, tempat lepak favourite adalah Chili's. Tq Warque bagi kita orang makan free! It was a great bonding time with Layla, Matju and their broods.

After the session in Chili's Empire, we send Zuleika off to Lake Club for her aikido class and went to KLCC. I met Dila, a friend whom I havent met for more than 5 years. Kebetulan anak Dila yang sulung belajar language kat British Council. Kita orang lepak kat San Francisco Coffee KLCC. Now they are having promotion, buy 1 free 1 if you have cimb credit card or debit card. 

I love their organic lollies! sedap!

No coffee for the girls! :D

Puro Collagen - Halal

Ada 3 ciri perlu dipastikan dalam pengambilan kolagen - sumber, saiz dan jumlah pengambilan kolagen setiap hari.

Ciri pertama :Sumber Collagen

Sebenarnya terdapat lebih daripada 20 jenis kolagen kesemuanya di dalam badan manusia. 

Jenis 1 dan 3 penting untuk kulit.
Jenis 2 untuk sendi dan tulang
Jenis 7 untuk organ dalaman.

Jika anda makan kolagen dari sumber lembu (bovine @ yak @ kambing dan yang sejenis dengannya), ia cuma membekalkan kolagen jenis 2, yang hanya bagus untuk sendi dan bukan untuk kecantikan. Oleh itu penting untuk dapatkan kolagen daripada sumber ikan yang dapat membekalkan badan dengan jenis kolagen 1, 2, 3 dan 7 yang sesuai untuk memelihara kecantikan kulit, keutuhan sendi dan kesihatan dalaman. (Sumber: Majalah Rapi 15 Februari 2013 ms 53)

 Sumber kolagen Puro Collagen adalah daripada ikan yang telah dihidrolisis, 100% asli tanpa bahan pengawet, gula atau additive.

Lunch at KL Sentral

I went for lunch with Roger semalam. Oleh kerana dah janji dengan hubby that he will pick me up kat KL Sentral, so, I didnt drive. Instead, I took LRT. Ok jugak naik LRT time tak busy sebab aku boleh guling2 lagi kat dalam LRT, hardly any people.

Bila sampai KL Sentral, aku pegi jumpa Cana dulu. Aku hantar cake and her collagen. She had a meeting at 2pm, so takleh join kita orang lunch. At 1pm, I went to Sooka. Roger ajak makan kat Kelantan Delight. It's sooo overpriced! Char Kuey Teow pun dah almost RM17. Kalau makan kat tepi jalan depan sekolah iman baru RM4, penuh pinggan.

 This was supposed to be for Iman, tapi dia taknak. So mak dia pakai bag ni :D

Kita tengok gambar lampu je la ye.. totally forgotten to take photos of the food.

Puro Collagen Halal - Tanpa Was Was

Sumber dari ikan/marine tidak menjamin kehalalan produk tersebut kerana ada kemungkinan collagen telah dicampur dengan sumber yang tidak halal atau kilang tersebut juga memproses collagen dari sumber lain yang tidak halal.

Adalah penting untuk kita pastikan collagen yang kita ambil itu ada HALAL certificate. Ini kerana, walaupun collagen yang kita ambil itu dari marine source, kemungkinan besar kilang yang memproses collagen marine itu juga memproses collagen dari bovine (lembu), porcine (babi), chicken (ayam) atau sheep (kambing biri-biri).

Ada juga marine collagen yang dicampur dengan collagen dari sumber binatang. Sebagai contoh : (diambil dari alibaba.com)

 Specifications fish skin collagen powder:
 1.Source: fish,chicken,pig,bovine
 2.Protein; 98%
 3.Used for health food,cosmetics,soft drinks

Puro Collagen adalah hydrolised collagen dalam bentuk tepung. Boleh diminum tanpa was-was kerana Puro Collagen mempunyai sijil Halal dari Jakim approved Islamic Body (CICOT).

Wordless Wednesday

Lapis Surabaya

Bila tengok this recipe requires 30 egg yolks, aku rasa macam nak pengsan. Betul ke?? Ishk! macam tak percaya je kena guna 30 bijik telur kuning. Tapi bila baca blog Rima and she said it's very delicious, aku paksa jugak diri buat. Lagi2 bila tengok anniversary cake parents dia yang dibuat dari kek lapis surabaya ni jugak, lagi la aku terpaksa memaksa diri. Curious jugak nak rasa mcm mana that kek taste like.

Proses memecahkan telur sungguh meletihkan. I threw away all the whites sebab taknak buat pavlova atau apa2 yang boleh menambahkan lagi lemak aku yg sedang membiak dgn jayanya ni.

The cake is beautiful. It tasted better the next day. It is almost like a custard, with a tinge of sourness because of the strawberry jam. And it is definitely heavenly. Now I know why Rima or Zarin bake it many many times.

Spiku/Lapis Surabaya
Adapted from here

Ingredients: Yellow Layers
(make 2 layers of yellow layers) :

20 egg yolks
175 g fine granulated sugar
1 tsp ovalette
100 g all-purpose flour
250 g melted butter

Chocolate Layer :
10 egg yolks
125 g fine granulated sugar
1tsp ovalette (If u dont want to use ovalette, u can omit it)
30 g plain flour
25 g cocoa powder
125 g melted butter
Strawberry jam or whatever jam to your liking. I used premium strawberry jam.  

Method:

Grease and line the bottom of 3 , 8 inch baking pans.

Pre heat oven to 350f (fan forced) Prepare the yellow cake mix : Beat together sugar, egg yolks  and ovalette until pale and thick.

The batter will expand to around three times the original volume. Put the melted butter in to the batter and turn on the speed to low. Add flour and fold in thoroughly. Pour the batter into the bottom lined cake pans and bake for about 10 – 15 minutes until springy to the touch.

Remove cake from the oven. If the cake is not level and has a dome, use a clean kitchen towel and put it on the hot surface of the cake and press lightly to remove some of the uneven air. Place cake tin on a wire rack and leave to cool for 10 minutes.

Carefully remove cake from tin and place on rack to cool completely. Prepare the chocolate layer in the same way as the yellow layer except fold the sifted cocoa powder together with the flour.

To assemble the cake place one yellow layer on a cake board and spread the top of the cake with thin layer of strawberry jam to stick the layers together. You can put as much or as little jam you like. Place the chocolate layer on top. Spread with jam Place yellow layer on top

Secret Cake
Adapted from Tasty Kitchen


Ingredients FOR THE CAKE:

½ cups Buttermilk
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
2 cups Self-Rising Flour
2 cups Sugar (I used 1 cup brown sugar and 1/2 cup white sugar)
1 cup Water
½ cups Crisco - Solid Shortening
¼ cups Cocoa Powder
1 stick Butter
3 Eggs
1 teaspoon Vanilla

 FOR THE FROSTING:
⅓ cups Buttermilk
⅓ cups Cocoa Powder
1 stick Butter
16 ounces, weight Powdered Sugar (I cut the sugar to just 1 cup)
1 teaspoon Vanilla
1 cup Chopped Walnuts

 Preparation Instructions Note: All ingredients need to be at room temperature.

Preheat oven to 400 F. Spray a 9 x 13 pan with cooking spray. Pour 1/2 cup buttermilk into a 1 cup measuring cup, add baking soda and stir. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl sift together flour and sugar and set aside. In a medium sauce pan over medium heat combine the following: water, Crisco, 1/4 cup cocoa and 1 stick butter. Stir until combined and butter and crisco are melted. Cook until this mixture comes to a slight boil.

 Remove from heat and pour into the dry ingredients and mix until combined. Add buttermilk/soda mixture and scrape to get all of the mixture into the bowl. Mix at medium speed using an electric mixer and continue until well combined. Add eggs, one at a time and mix well after each addition. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla and mix well.

Pour into prepared pan and bake at 400 F for 20-22 minutes. With about 5 minutes left on the baking time make the frosting: In a medium saucepan combine 1/3 cup buttermilk, 1/3 cup cocoa and 1 stick of butter over medium low heat and stir as butter melts. Once melted and combined stir constantly while cooking for about 3 minutes longer. Remove pan from heat and add powdered sugar. Mix well using an electric mixer. Once combined add 1 teaspoon vanilla and chopped nuts, mix well. Pour over the hot cake. This can also be baked in a jelly roll pan, just reduce baking time to 15 minutes. Do not substitute margarine for butter. You may also use different nuts.
