Peteluangan di teratak Baking Projek

We went beraya at Min's. Memang hospitality Min & Zul adalah A++++. It was so good of them to entertain us. Zul and Cha sampai pi drive malam-malam pi cari kami di jalanan (ada confusion menunggu antara Tesco Ampang dan Tesco Extra)..Inda sempat aku ambik gambar makanan si Min (the rendang paru is really to die for..sangat nyaman! dan mee rebus seafood dengan kepingan oyster juga sangat aku suka!). Min and Zul's home is so sweet. Sejuk hati masuk rumah dorang (di bantu juga dengan aircond full blast kuasa kuda 3 power kan min). Her garden is amazing! Ada "green house" mini ala Return to River Cottage, ada lemon (yg kuning), grapes (real punya, bukan pelastik), green apple (ada buah but Min said sudah gugur), kepayas, huge juicy tomatoes dan beberapa herba melayu. Aku memang kagum lah. I like Min's mosaic kitchen wall.

Kath di bawah arca bunga morning glory si Min yg menyambut kedatangan setiap tetamu.

Min's Return to River Cottage. Ada bibit carrot, parsley dan beberapa tumbuhan org putih di sini ni.

Baking Project banner. I m very proud of another of my besties ni. She finally found her forte. Doing things tht gives her the maximum satisfaction and getting paid for it!

Rumah impian aku dan Kath.

Ini silly pic - aku paksa si Kath mengayakan klip topi yg baru di beli.

Perjumpaan my 2 kawan baik. Kath and Br. Ong.

Nanti i put hgambar pembelian ah. BUt tak banyak pembelian - banyak makan ja.

Petualangan kath & Val (Part 2)

I suddenly remembered zaman dolu-dolu membaca buku Enid Blyton The Famous 5 being translated into Bahasa Melayu/Indonesia. Petualangan tu "pengembaraan" bah kan..jgn pula erti dia ketulangan kan! Anyway, ini adalah Part 2 of petualangan Kath & Val. I wanted to take artsy pictures, thus the many "dark", close up objects......LOL.

One of the main reasons of going to Melaka is to satisfy my cravings for "nasi ayam hainan bulat". Tapi..rupanya lidah ku sudah tebal. Years ago when i first tasted this round nasi, it was love at first sight. I was so taken by its round shape. Tapi, sekarang, dengan iski-siki kami berbaris lama menunggu giliran mau makan ini barang, rupanya tidak sudah I smitten. Sejuk ayam kampung stimnya, mcm bikin kembang leher mau telan the ayam sejuk, and the rice biasa-biasa ja pula. How i miss the innocence and naivety of the first ever experience of tasting this years ago...Oh welll....

I still like the old buildings in Melaka though. The odd colors and sturdy workmanship. Suka betul kami berangan-angan to live in one of the old shophouses there with its inner courtyard garden. To be transported to kehidupan zaman Puteri Hang Li Poh.

Yg ni - curiosity kills Kath. We were attracted to the sound of mengetuk-ngetuk membuat gula-gula. Mcm lawa betul candy nya - warna butterscotch caramel. Harga the candy RM3 se plastik kecil. Chisss punya bida rasa the gula-gula. Bukan rasa butterscotch, rasa colgate yg mau bangas sudah!

Petualangan Part 3 nanti ah.

Kath & Val

Apa khabar semua? raya holidays was spent with Cath. It was good to catch up with one of my besties. Penuh dengan gelak ketawa and catching up on personal updates etc etc. Nanti i upload banyak lagi pengembaraan Kath & Val ya. As of now, mau susun cerita dulu. Slow sikit enjin i ni, lama inda menaip. Part 1 ni, i just put post tema "Gadis-gadis dan bunga" dulu la.

I mau ini "pentaran" for my future rumah retirement (God's willing).

One of the few photos yg aku tidak ada buat tanda Peace. Lawa kan "decoupage" bunga ros di dinding nya.

Entah apa motif aku menaruh gambar belakang i ni ah. LOL.

Renewed & Refresh

I thank my Lord for the renewal in spirit and much needed break from life's daily chaos and noise. To be able to take a step backward and observe things from a different view. To have hope that I can do all things through Him who strengthens me. To rest in His presence, to lean on Him when the going gets tough.

I thank the Lord for these gifts. And Sri & M will say.......AMEN!

Ketam gergasi

Whilst window shopping with ogy last week, stumbled upon these gigantic king crab legs at the frozen section of the supermart. Adada punya gemuk dan panjang kaki ketam dia. Tengok bah perbandingan dengan tangan. Macam paha ketam pun masih lebih panjang dari my hand. Ini baru lah puas hati kalau makan butter crab kan M & S! Sorang satu kaki la kita. Aku rasa badan dia sebesar talam ku yg I spray jadi polka dot tu kali kan. Tapi harga dia pun memang "gigantic" juga lah. Tadaaaaa....RM328 untuk 4 ekor kaki ja. Menangis aku kalau ini dijadikan hadiah hari jadi o kan.

M, jgn si Abang terliur mau butter crab ketam gergasi ja lah kan, for puasa nanti.

Kaya Keahlian Kelab

I am currently kaya dengan keahlian kelab makan. Ada 2 kelab aktif iaitu: 1) Kelab Makan veteran, that consist of 3 members only, Sri, si M dan yours truly. 2) Kelab Makan Muda (ala-ala PUM) - di anggotai oleh 3 ahli muda dan akak sebagai ahli veteran. Both clubs are very active, and i am a member of both clubs. My 37th birthday celebration has not ended yet. Macam sebulan berpesta la kan. Last friday the Kelab Muda meraikan birthday again. It was a buffet lunch. Memang puas hati dan puas perut la.

First picture is the main attraction for me, i.e roti canai kuah dhal dan nescafe tarik. Mcm paling sedap la roti canai nya I pernah jumpa sepanjang hayat ku ini. Crunchy and not oily at all. I can actually eat more than 5 of those, but oleh kerana my TRA, I tahan ja. The dhall pun sangat smooth and tak berbau sapi. And di gambar tersebut ada sebuting benda hitam kan. Mcm taihh pula rupanya di gambar kan. LOL. Actually it was a daging masak hitam bah. The camera was unable to capture the full glory of the dish.

Gambar atas gambar sayur-mayur. Supaya inda rasa guilty kami makan sebagai penghujung la, beberapa buting sayuran.

Ahli kelab si Elly dan Dg yg gembira mengurat tukang masak pasta. They pok pok mau kena kasi lebih daging kali.LOL!

Ahli Kelab ke 3 (juara bertahan). Lihatlah the glorious cheese nan. Tebal betul cheesenya (inda lokek betul tu Tamil). Lihatlah betapa gembiranya si Ogy menarik cheese.

Pendek kata berbaloi betul la buffet kami.

Take care all.

Kaya Makan Vs. Tangan Dalam Piring

Yesterday was the long awaited birthday lunch organised by the 3 member seumur hidup Kelab Makan. Si Fabmom gave a rattan handbag and kek lubak, di mana ada gambar handbag lagi tertera di atas kek tersebut!!! TQ M! Really appreciate your keringat mengukir handbag atu. Si Sri kasi I a delicate blouse with roses print. The material is very light and airy. Sangat sesuai dengan cuaca kitani sekarang. Lunch was good. Tapi inda sudah kuat kami makan (statement berani mati!!!!).....
And above is gambar artsy "tangan di dalam piring" , August purchase- Sebuting Piring roses dan cincin gergasi turquoise. Tapi berani ka i memakai cincin tu ah.....

Take care all.
