Vietnamese Roll | Popia basah Vietnam

Bahasa dan video seminit di bawah :)

English version and one minute video below :)

Boleh ke inti basah letak atas kulit beras lutsinar? 

Terpaksa tapis dulu, atau ketuk-ketuk untuk keluarkan jus. 

I used to eat Vietnamese roll atA Aeon Jusco. They are put on display together with sushi, sashimi on the chilled bar. I saw the Vietnamess paper at a baking shop and grab one straight away. Was thinking to make any fillings roll. The Vietnamese paper was sitting in the cabinet.

I didnt plan to make it yesterday evening.  I was thinking to make it when everybody had their own food first. Then saw abang's food was almost finished, so as  adik's food.  Unfortunately, the somtam came without rice. How should I eat somtam alone, it was too tangy? So, I search for the Vietnamese paper, and found it in the cabinet.  Cut the plastic packet. Took a piece, soak in the water. Lay on the plate, pick a bit of somtam, shake it a bit hehe to let go the excessive juice. Placed it on the Vietnamese soaked paper. Had to be careful as the somtam juice was more that its vege. So, I got a sifter to make sure the salad is quite dry. The rice paper was really strong. I rotate the  filling with leftover spagheti bolognese, then macaroni a bit but mostly were somtam. I didn't eat with any sauce. The taste was good just like that and filling too.  After eating salad roll, I felt fresh and light. Make our body fresh feeling, not sleepy or sluggish as the food filled with more vege than carbo. Alhamdulillah. 

Salam bahagia❤️

Saya biasa makan popia Vietnam di Aeon Jusco. Ia diletak bersama sushi dan shasimi atas "chiller".

Saya ternampak kertas beras di kedai, terus beli. kertas beras Vietnam itu dibiar dalam kabinet.

Bercadang mahu buat popia Vietnam bila perut tidak begitu lapar.

Sebetulnya saya tidak merancang untuk membuat popia semalam. Akan tetapi somtam yang datang tanpa nasi. Lihat abang hampir habis makanannya manakala adik pun begitu. Saya terfikir kertas Vietnam. Terus capai, buka paket plastik. Ambil sekeping dan rendam dalam air, letak kertas yang telah basah di atas pinggan. Saya mula dengan somtam untuk mengisi kulit beras. Saya ambil sedikit somtam dengan pengepit dan ketuk-ketuk dengan harapan jus somtam keluar. Selepas letak saya, gulung separuh, lipat tepi dan letak udang dipotong baru gulung lagi. Jika udang yang seekor tu, baru nampak dan cantik. Saya gilir somtam dengan spageti bolognese lebihan dan tambah lebihan mushroom, yang paling banyak ialah somtam yang  menjadi isi popia. 

Saya makan somtan begitu saja tanpa sos. Memang lazat sangat. . Cukup rasanya, spagetti bercheese pun rasa sedap dimakan dengan kulit popia vietnam.

Alhamdulillah popia vietnam mengenyangkan juga. Badan pun rasa ringan, mata pun kembali segar sebab sayuran lebih dalam sajian ini.

Love alwaYs ❤️

Pancake fit for Toaster / panaskan dengan pembakar roti

Bahasa dan video seminit di bawah :)

English version and one minute video below:) 

 Risau juga terlebih susu

Tebal, masakkah di dalam? 

Attempting to produce more frozen or reheat meal, I revisited the pancake preparation process again. I love the ideas of freezing for preparing food quickly. 

Lazy on Saturday morning, I I started with karipap (pastry crust, pancake and not yet others. There are some desserts that linger on my mind. I like to make food fast, or make life easy. 

Yesterday was Tuesday, I've made 7 fluffy pancakes out of 1 mixed batter. We ate 4 pieces for sahur, adik ate 2 pieces. The pancakes are now left 3 pieces, and kept up in the freezer.  At first I thought the size of the square shaped mould I chose would not fit the toaster. Alhamdulillah this morning after we thawed them for only 10 minutes, coming out from the fridge. 

So  I am not sure how long it would takes to defrost a thick and big fluffy pancakes from the freezer. I assumed ot should take longer. 

As for the round shaped it took about the same length of time. I haven't shared it here yet. 

Salam sejahtera❤️

Percubaan berkali dan berkala membuat makanan sejuk beku, saya datang lagi dengan penkek. 

Suka dengan konsep sejukbeku ni untuk hari malas yang menjelang sabtu pagi hujung minggu. 

Mulanya dengan karipap, penkek dan  ada beberapa yang bermain diminda yang belum diusahakan lagi.

Ada beberapa pencuci mulut yang bermain diminda ingin dibuat dan dikongsi di sini.

Semalam 17 Ogos 2021 hari Selasa, saya buat 1 bancuhan penkek seperti resepi yang di kongsi pada post yang lepas, satu bancuhan dapat 7 keping penkek.

Kami makan 4 keping untuk sahur, adik makan 2 keping, sekeping saya dan suami pun sekeping. Jadi sekarang yang tinggal hanya 3 keping. Dah simpan dalam bekas dan diletak di dalam bahagian sejuk beku. 

Pada mulanya, sangkaan saya, penkek saiz enpat segi tu tak akan muat didalam pembakar roti. Alhamdulillah, muat dan disahkan boleh semasa bersahur tadi. Cuma itu bukan frozen tetapi sejuk saja. Defrost dalam 10 minit, dan masuk kan dalam toaster.

Untuk saiz penkek yang tebal dan besar ini, tak pasti lagi berapa lama perlu defrost. Penkek berbentuk bulat yang sebelum ini dibekukan, adik yang keluarkan, tak pasti berapa lama dia nyahbekukan, tapi yang pasti ia bentuk bulat penkek itu padu dan sesuai juga dipanaskan dengan pembakar roti. 

Moga kita sihat sejahtera selalu Aameen❤️

Food for Soul | Makanan Jiwa

Abang adik main di luar pun perlukan kipas

Main api untuk masak? tapi berkipas bagai, aduhai.. 

Parenting  inspiration, from seerah of Prophet Musa AS. 

Bring the aim of early of the year,  flashing back the outcome of yesteryears. 

One of the target is sending kids to school with hope and trust. 

Not so different from the seerah of Prophet Musa AS. His beloved mother made a wise move to put Prophet Musa as in a basket and push him to the middle of the river because she needed to hide him as a baby from the wicked pharaoh.

During that time, any baby boy will be killed by pharaoh order. Prophet Musa as who was in the basket floated away to pharaoh's wife Asiya not so long after. 

Allah SWT already promised that He SWT will bring him back to his  mother's arm. 

Prophet Musa was crying nonstop because of hungry for milk after Asiya picked him up from the river. 

At the same time her sister has followed him from the riverside to watch out for her brother. So she appeared to Asiya and told the pharaoh's wife that in the village there is a woman who could feed him milk.

The villager was his very own mother. Subhanallah! 

The trail of story that touched everyone's heart especially mothers who are braved enough to let their kids out from their sight with alot of prayers. 

Allah SWT promised to bring back  better kids in a better situation

Who could ever guess that his mother would milk feeding her beloved son with peace surrounded with palace guards. 

Surely this is an inspiration to everyone especially mothers out there when we let go or redha, Allah SWT with replace it with better in many forms. 

Firman Allah swt in surah Qasas. 

"So We sent this inspiration to the mother of Moses: "Suckle (thy child), but when thou hast fears about him, cast him into the river, but fear not nor grieve: for We shall restore him to thee, and We shall make him one of Our apostles." Al-Qasas 28:7

Every word of the surah touched and massaged our heart right, to make preparation before send the kids to school or university or for marriage then trust in Allah tawakkul. 

MashaAllah. 

Selamat berpuasa sunat Tasu'ah bagi yang berpuasa. Esok inshaAllah sama-sama berpuasa sunat Asyu'ra. ❤️

Ilham parenting  dari kisah Nabi Musa AS.

Bawa kedepan matlamat yang

disasarkan pada awal, tengah atau akhir tahun ini. Mengimbas kembali hasil pasti mekar lagi.

Salah satunya ialah menghantara anak ke sekolah dengan harapan dan kepercayaan. Seakan cerita Nabi Musa AS. Ibu beliau letak beliau dalam bakul, lepaskan ke tengah sungai sebab nak sembunyikan Nabi Musa AS yang masih bayi. Waktu itu mana-mana bayi lelaki akan di bunuh kerana Firaun yang zalim itu mendapat tahu yang Allah SWT akan menghantar Rasul dan Firaun takut kuasanya akan tergugat. 

Nabi Musa as yang berada didalam bakul hanyut ke tangan isteri Firaun, iaitu Asiya tak lama itu. 

Allah SWT telah berjanji akan bawa balik Nabi Musa AS ke pangkuan ibunya. 

Nabi Musa AS menangis tidak berhenti kerana kelaparan susu setelah diselamatkan oleh Asiya dari sungai. Pada masa yang sama kakak beliau mengekori Nabi Musa AS dari jauh, menampakkan diri lalu memberitahu Asiya yang ada orang kampung di situ boleh menysusukan bayi.

Orang kampung itu ialah ibu Nabi Musa AS sendiri. Subhanallah! 

Jalan cerita yang menyentuh hati ini kepada ibu-ibu yang melepaskan anak-anak dari pandangan mata dengan berdoa. Kan Allah SWT suruh lepaskan dalam surah di bawah

Allah swt berfiman :

Dan Kami ilhamkan kepada ibu Musa:" Susukanlah dia; dalam pada itu, jika engkau takutkan sesuatu bahaya mengenainya (dari angkara Firaun), maka (letakkanlah dia di dalam peti dan) lepaskanlah dia ke laut; dan janganlah engkau merasa bimbang dan jangan pula berdukacita; sesungguhnya Kami akan mengembalikannya kepadamu, dan Kami akan melantiknya menjadi salah seorang dari Rasul-rasul Kami. Al-Qasas 28:7

Tuhan suruh kita let go  dulu, nanti Dia janji tu yang menyedap hati, bertawakkal kepadaNya inshaAllah dapat balik dalam keadaan lebih baik. 

Siapa sangka Ibu Nabi Musa AS dapat menyusukan anak kesayangannya dengan aman, dikelilingi dengan pengawal istana lagi. kisah ini menjadi ilham buat mama, moga ibu-ibu di luar sana juga. 

Terharu kerana Allah SWT suruh mempersiapkan ( bab menyusu tu) termasuk soal agama juga) mereka dengan secukupnya buat  anak-anak, barulah hantar dan bertawakkal. Tentang persediaan tahun lepas mama buat simple strategi, tahun ini ulang ja, masih mencari-cari yang lebih baik.

Moga seerah ini menjadi iktibar bagi kita. Yakin dengan janjiNya❤️

Terima kasih rakan blogger yang sudi mendoakan abang, moga Allah SWT membalas jasa baik kawan-kawan mama di sini inshaAllah.. Aameen. 

Nuggets Wraps for Movie |We bought a Zoo

Bahasa dan video seminit di bawah :) 

English version and one minute video below :) 

Lukisan yang ditolak dihargai juga

Hanya perlu 20 saat keberanian dapat mengubah kehidupan

Another wonderful movie based on a true story again. A widower with two kids needs to start over after the death of his beloved wife. When his son drew vulgar poster, the school had to expel his son of being a gothic artist apart from other displinary issues. The incident motivates him to move to a new place. While he and his daughter Rosie searched for a new house, they finally found a home. While discussing with the real estate agent, they heard a lion roarrr! It turned out the house comes with a zoo.

Rosie went wandering off to feed some pheasants led him to the decision to buy; Finalized when he saw Rosie enlighten with the rural country environment. 

A bit step backward, when they arrived, Rosie was busy taking photos of the place to compare with the other house they saw before. Benjamin, her dad said stop taking photos as they will live there, nice right? Love at first sight. Aww.. A lot of work to maintain the zoo and reopen to public. It seems that their decision was a beautiful. journey. 

The staff in the zoo named Kelly had asked why he bought the zoo, since the municipal will check or inspect schedulely, but  Benjamin just answered "Why not? ". Yes right he did want to buy a zoo:) 

Behind him was also his brother whom gave advices to him; One of the deep conversation, he relates how he missed human while he was months in a fishing boat working to catch fish. I could understand how calm and silent the moment at fishing boat, being quiet not to scare the fish. I can imagine that any  human in the situation will be at lost without any social interaction and will be longing to go back to dry land. 

Anyway, they are trying to open back the zoo and they have to make sure that the zoo meet all the regulations and safety condition for the public. Benjamin's brother couldn't agree for his big responsible to want to own a zoo, he asked him to get rid of the animal and the rest but keep Kelly a 28 year old as it is a true joy. (funny right?) human nature that everyone would agree. 

Early on, the son was expelled but his son was positive and

said that the school was sensitive. Infact Dylan moved on but the school hold grudges, exactly. 

Benjamin's brother was concerned about high cost of upkeeping the zoo as I didn't

mention earlier that he was an accountant. Miracle happened, there's some funds left from his late wife. So they managed to open the zoo and start making money after all.  By right it was a functional zoo before; But in between owners, the zoo had short of progress. But they finally made it. 

The response from the public were overwhelming, and they were excited to visit and take a look at the animals in there. 

Another memorable moment to note after they bought a zoo. Nice, one script that touched me is when Ben answered to his daughter question on that he never talk about dream or story anymore, Ben said that they are already in the story, living the dream. And Ben took his son drawing of a tiger face art for the zoo's advertisement poster, Dylan the son was happy that his father is his fan. Yes, this gothic artist has a fan. Benjamin's brother finally came to help and give support everybody, united in the modern day adventure, for the love of.animal. Yes! we bought a zoo. 

Modern day adventure, sponsor an animal.

Salam Selasa❤️

Filem keluarga keluaran 20th Century Fox yang menarik lagi berdasarkan kisah benar. Ia mengisahkan tentang Benjamin Mee, seorang duda beranak dua yang ingin memulakan hidup baharu setelah kematian isteri. Bila anak lelakinya bernama Dylan melukis mural menakutkan serta beberapa kesalahan displin yang lain, pihak sekolah terpaksa memberhentikan Dylan dari sekolah. Dylan gemar melukis lukisan 'gothic'. Malah keadaan yang sedia ada juga memudahkan Benjamin untuk membuat keputusan berpindah rumah. Dia dan anak perempuannya bernama Rosie pergi mencari rumah baharu. Tiba rumah yang mereka berkenan itu, sesambil berbincang dengan ejen hartanah mereka terdengar singa mengaum. Rupa rupanya rumah itu adalah sebahagian sebuah zoo! Ia adalah zoo yang berfungsi elok sebelumnya. Anaknya Rosie yang 'hilang' dari pandangan sebentar telah berjalan di bahagian burung merak dengan riak keriangan di wajah anak yang kehilangan ibu, kelihatan kembali ceria. Benjamin terus membuat keputusan untuk membeli rumah yang datang dengan sebuah zoo itu.

Oh ya! Sebelum itu, semasa mencari cari rumah yang sesuai, Rosie telah mengambil gambar gambar rumah rumah dan Benjamin beritahu anaknya, boleh berhenti ambil gambar sebab mereka akan tinggal di rumah zoo itu. Bestkann... :) macam jatuh cinta pandang pertama. 

Dibelakang lagi, abang Benjamin yang mengambil berat tentang Benjamin juga memberi nasihat, salah satunya tu yang mendalam ialah dalam memilih perkerjaaan jangan seperti beliau pernah membuat kerja menangkap ikan komersil, memancing memerlukan kesabaran dan senyap kerana akan menakutkan ikan-ikan. Jadi perkerjaan begitu akan terasa rindu kepada manusia. Seakan keaadan kita yang masih merlukan interaksi sosial dari masyarakat. 

Walaupun mereka cuba membuka kembali zoo itu, perkara utama adalah unruk memastikan semua mengikut undang undang dan selamat kepada pengunjung. Abang Benjamin tidak setuju dengan keputusan Benjamin membeli zoo. Tindakan keputusan tergesa kerana rindu isteri, abangnya nasihatkan dia supaya lebih baik lepaskan haiwan, dan berkawan saja dengan Kelly, seorang perkerja berumur 28 tahun yang arif tentang zoo tetapi keletihan dengan operasi di situ. Rasa kelakar la juga bila apa yang di cadang, betul, sasaran point yang penting hehe.. Dimana dia sebut 'that's a true joy!`

Macammana pun, tidak begitu mudah untuk Benjamin mengembalikan zoo itu berfungsi untuk awam. Keputusan yang indah dalam perjalan kehidupan mereka.

Pekerjanya ya, beli zoo sekali dengan peketja sekali, salah seorang bernama Kelly bertanya kenapa dia beli zoo itu, Benjamin cakap 'apa salahnya?', kan.. suka macam ni kerana kita semua pun suka ada zoo. Hehe..

Benjamin juga runsing pada masa yang sama kerana pihak berkuasa tempatan akan membuat pemeriksaan berjadual untuk memastikan keaadan haiwan serta keselamatan sekeliling termasuk untuk mereka dan orang awam.

Tentang anak lelakinya Dylan masa awal tu dikeluarkan dari sekolah, masih berfikiran positif dengan mengatakan pihak sekolah yang sensitif dengan lukisannya iaitu gambar orang yang terjeler tu. Dia dah lepaskan dan move on, tapi sekolah yang belum haha, sekolah selalu mengajar maaf dan lupakan tapi ternyata tak begitu mudah untuk dikotakan.

Apa apa pun, sokongan orang awam yang menanti berminat untuk meluangkan masa di zoo tempatan mereka itu. Poster iklan untuk promosi zoo juga dambil dari anaknya, lukisan muka harimau, Dylan terharu ada yang menghargai lukisannya yang menjadi poster dan logo zoo tersebut. 

Anaknya Rosie juga ada bertanya pada Benjamin kenapa tak bercerita masa depan dan impian lagi, dan Ben beritahu anaknya yang mereka sedang berada didalam cerita dan hidup dalam impian. Betul kan, 20th Century Fox dah keluarkan pun, orang ramai sedang menonton ni. Kena berani dalam 20 saat untuk merubah kehidupan mereka. (ada sebaliknya juga panjang pula nak cerita sini) 

Abang Benjamin yang juga seorang akauntan menasihatkan Benjamin yang kos mempunyai zoo sangat tinggi. Permasalahan juga berlaku, tetapi rupanya ada wang simpanan dari arwah isterinya untuk menyelamatkan zoo itu. Berlaku keajaiban pula di situ.

Usaha gigih yang diberi, akhir mereka berjaya, kehidupan berlainan sejak beli zoo.

Mereka bersatu dalam kembara moden, demi kasihkan haiwan. Happy ever after kan. Mereka beli zoo :) 

Moga hari ini memberi kebahagiaan inshaAllah❤️

PS : Adik baru bertanya siapa PM baharu, adik doakan bukan yang semacam Pemimpin Korea Utara tidak membenarkan rakyat meraikan hari ibu, kerana beliau hanya mahu kasih sayang rakyat hanya beri kepada beliau. sahaja. Nauzubillahiminzalik. 

Apricot, Dates Toppings | Chef Gordon Ramsay

Bahasa dan video seminit di bawah:)

English version and one minute video below:)

Topping pisang, appricot, date penuh dengan potassium

Chef Gordon Ramsay pun ada cabaran :) 

Last night, before I got message from my maksu. She wanted to ask me to cite Surah Yassin everyday. And she also asked about Mochi recipe, I sent her the recipe. She said she would call me today as the day was late already. I wished good night to her. While I was messaging maksu, I was watching Gordon Ramsay cooking in South Africa's Kwa-Zulu Natal region. The view in Africa is beautiful. It kind of funny when he had to go fishing but first he had first to find worms. Ramsay said, he felt like some eyes were watching him where he was, exactly right as giraffes and rhinos were watching. He was with the local guy. He was in scary state, he even said its okay he stood behind the guy just incase. Beautiful scenery, MashaAllah. Just now I recited Surah Yassin, Surah Taubah, last but not least I wanted to recite Surah Inshirah. By the time I wanted to do it, my mind was full of stuffs as abang and adik haven't finished their Merdeka school projects as yet. Abang has just showered looked fresh and ready. I said come we read Al-inshirah together so that Allah SWT make it easy for you to finish the project InshaAllah. He also recite the doa before studying from surah Taha. So now he is in PDPR. And I'm going down for breakfast. Sometimes I had oats with dates, apricots, banana and raisins just to shared. 

Moga dipermudahkan urusan kita, inshaAllah.❤️

Semalam, dapat mesej whatsapp dari maksu yang dirindui, beliau mengingati saya membaca Surah Yassin setiap  hari kerana banyak hikmahnya (nanti mama huraikan) beliau juga bertanya tentang resepi mochi, saya hantar resepi, beliau beritahu yang beliau akan call saya. Semasa saya bermesej dengan maksu, saya sedang menonton Chef Gordon Ramsay dengan expedisinya memasak di South Africa daerah Kwa-Zulu Natal. Sebelum memasak, dia perlu menangkap ikan, dan sebelum memancing perlulah cari umpan, itupun dia perlu cari dulu dengan seorang warga tempatan di sana. Kelakar bila Chef Ramsay beritahu yang dia dapat rasa ada mata mata yang memandangnya, dan sememangnya pun, sekumpulan Sang Ziraffah dan Badak Sumbu sedang memerhati beliau. Dia terpaksa cakap yang dia akan duduk di belakang jejaka Afrika itu untuk melindung diri. Permai sangat permandangan di situ. MashaAllah. Saya baru habis membaca Surah Yassin dan dua potong akhir surah Taubah. Baru nak berganjak ke Surah Al-Inshirah, terfikir yang abang dan adik belum habiskan projek hari merdeka mereka. Jadi ajak abang yang kacak segar lepas mandi mengenakan tshirt dari Aeon Jusco berharga RM10 itu untuk membaca surah Al-Inshirah bersama-sama, mudah mudahan selesai kerja-kerjanya hari ni. Abang juga dipersiapkan doa sebelum belajar dari surah Taha. Sekarang abang berada dalam kelas PDPR dan saya nak turun bersarapan. Kekadang saya ambil oats dengan taburan apricot, pisang, kismis dan kurma hanya dikongsikan disini. Alhamdulillah. 

Selamat berpuasa bagi yang berpuasa, Salam Isnin❤️

Carrot Cake | Butter Scotch Gardenia

English version and one minute video below :) 

Sepotong kek dibahagi dua

Mesti beralas perut sebelum nikmati kek

As we are in the month of our merdeka celebration, I am thinking of making merdeka chocolate cake consists blue, red, yellow and white butter cream. But I ain't an artist nor expert in cake making. SubhanAllah even at position of knowing bssic to do it, I did got order for birthday and nikah event. When delivering the cakes, I also gave money as a gift for the event. The money flow in and out and back inshaAllah increasing. The order was just a plain cake without any cream frosting, I searched on the net and found this beautiful marble cake recipe.  I tried and it turned out similar and hand delivered to them. 

I have few experienced in this area and made some delivered via delivery service. I kept the photos in the hard disk and will dig out and keep the memory in here, InshaAllah. 

As I ever mentioned before, I've tried some food concepts like keto diet, a discpline which consume protein and fibre more. My current diet is more to 'on and off' but less carbo or sometimes no carbo at all and see how it goes with my mood. I'm just human and a woman right, whom loves sweet, and moreover having a partner in common interest right? Having said that, I 'accidentally' ordered a slice of carrot cake from Secret Recipe for remedy of longing, I even planned to eat early of the day and vowed to have it half only and promised to eat something else first. So it happened... that one morning in the breeze of early morning, I shared it with adik,  the partner in common interest. We had bread butter scotch gardenia. 

Syukur Selalu. InshaAllah.❤️ 

Sempena bulan kemerdekaan, terasa nak buat kek coklat krim mentega putih, merah, biru, dan kuning. Tapi tak berseni lagi tak reti pula. Tak patut bercita-cita tinggi kan? Dalam tak pandai pun, pernah dapat order kek marble jelita, pesanan hanya cuma kek butter kosong, tak berkrim tapi saya cari resepi di net, terjumpa yang viral dan saya cuba buat dan hantar kepada mereka. Ada untuk majlis harijadi atau ada untuk majlis nikah, saya kirim pula duit untuk hadiah majlis masa hantar kek, duit 'pun pi mai pi mai" tapi bertambah inshaAllah. Ada photonya tapi dalam harddisk, akan korek nanti buat bahan memori di sini. InshaAllah.

Sebenarnya sebelum PKP tu, pernah saya sebut adalah permulaan saya makan rendah karbo.. tah lah. Diet saya tu, cuma sayur dan lauk iaitu protin dari ikan atau ayam. Kurang nasi atau tak ambil langsung begitu on dan off. Tetapi sesekali tak boleh tahan, perempuan kan? salah jatina pula ek, lepas tu ada geng pula tu iaitu adik suka juga kek. Terorderlah kek carrot dari secret recipe buat b ubat rindu. Rancang makan pagi, berikrar nikmati separuh je, janji makan selepas makan alas perut dulu. Jadilah bersarapan kek carrot tu disuatu pagi hening sebelum tengahari. Alhamdulillah. 

Moga sihat sentiasa❤️

Mochi - Dessert orang Jepun

Bahasa dan video seminit di bawah :) 

English version and one minute video below :) 

Alamak melekit, pa nik juga, letak je serbuk tepung di tangan. 

Tepung perlu disangai sebelum menyaluti Mochi, tapi terlupa menyangai, buat cara lain

There were few times we saw mochi at running sushi or on conveyor sushi rail. At the side of moving one way sushi, eyes at par view, looking at the assorted sushi but once in awhile mochi come by. First impression it looks like buah melaka, malacca cuisine, second look like kuih abuk-abuk. 

Thinking didn't considered it as decision until action taken rightly. We took one, tried it slowly and softly as it is soft and delicate. It taste so good as how it looks MashaAllah. 

So the memory remains and reminisce not enough to fill the tummy.

Since yesterday, we got to go out to search for home improvement items. Yes, to repair and not to decor; That's why we had to go out for a while. At this time around, we don't dare to go out for dentist. Which is important for growing kids. I had to to be a 'weredoctor' not 'werewolf' sometimes hehe.. Since the hardware shop is near by the baking supply shop, so took a chance and buy packs of glutenous rice flour and wheat flour. 

Came back home, and made mochi 

Mochi Recipe:

2 cups of flour

2 cups of water

Oil for coating

Peanut butter for filling (or your own choice) 

A bit of corn flour to sprinkle. 

Mix flour and water and stir well. Coat the rice cooker pot with oil thoroughly but lightly. Pour the mixture and cook for 3 minutes. Stir again until the dough look like ready mochi hehe.. 

Then scoop with table spoon, powder with the cornflour and fill with peanut butter and shape it to ball. I put them in the microwave for awhile to cook the coating flour. Then let them cool and ready to eat. Turn out like fine cusine exactly and soft and supple hehe. It taste so good, so simple ingredient but delicious like no other. Should try. Just now, I took out some from the fridge but it didn't become hard yet soft like yesterday. No need to defrost just ready to eat. Amazing.. 

Moga beringat mengamal sedekah subuh, berselawat❤️

Beberapa kali terserempak dengan pencuci mulut orang jepun, di running sushi atau sushi conveyor. Berada di tepi conveyor tu sudah pasti mencari beraneka sushi, wasabi, atau jeruk halia yang lalu sehala di paras mata. 

Sesekali ternampak Mochi. Mula malas nak ambil sebabnya, nampak macam kuih abuk-abuk atau kueh buah melaka tapi harga orang jepun, lebih baik makan kuih tempatan yang dijual di luar, lebih asli. 

Macammanapun terambil, makan pun perlahan sebabnya ia pun sangat lembut dan halus teksturnya, kita pun macam spontan jadi lemah gemalai. 

Semalam terpaksa keluar sebab mencari barang hardware, ada keperluan membaiki rumah, bukan mencantikkan rumah tetapi home improvement. Kesukaran zaman begini memang la terasa bila gigi anak anak sepatutnya  berjumpa doktor gigi, walhal itu adalah penting. Terpaksa tangguh dan jadi doktor gigi jadian, bukan serigala jadian hehe.. Dah keluar baking supply shop pun dekat situ je, beli tepung roti, bercadang nak buat roti, beli tepung pulut nak buat mochi. 

Ok resepi Mochi:

2 cawan tepung pulut

2 cawan air

Minyak  

Campur tepung dan air, kacau sebati hingga tiada ketulan. Sapu minyak di periuk nasi, biar rata.

Masukkan campur tepung pulut dan air tadi. Tekan on di periuk nasi. Biar masak 3 minit dia mula nak jadi macam kanji. 

Gaul sampai nampak macam doh mochi besar, tah tak ambil video kut sebab tangan berlemoih pun ya, phone pun di ambil orang pun ya. Adik la peminat tik tok, phone yang lain tak da tik tok apps. Lepas tu guna sudu besar kaut doh mochi sesudu dan bubuh sikit tepung jagung supaya tak melekit. Buat bentuk guli dan tekan rata. Masukkan peanut butter ditengah dan bulatkan balik. Serbuk tepung untuk disalut patut disangai, disebabkan tak disangai, jadi microwave sekejap, biar sejuk, siap dijamu. 

Memang lembut dan boleh dikategorikan makanan delicacy. Sebab 'fine cuisine' , pagi ni keluarkan dari peti sejuk mochi yang disimpan semalam, buka bekas, sentuh tetap lembut tak payah tunggu nyahbeku. Istimewa. 

Alhamdulillah ❤️

Moga berbanyak beribadah, terbaca entri Aidaniez (sorry jika tersalah ejaan) tersentuh tentang Surah Al-Baqarah, pernah amalkan, terlalu menakjubkan kesannya seperti magik ke atau rahmat. Tetapi itulah takut benar mencerita hal amalan kita, tetapi mungkin boleh menolong orang lainkan. Saya pula suka mencerita hal begitu, tu terberhenti blog atau share penulisan. Tah nantila solat istikarah. InshaAllah. ❤️

Super Ring for Movie "Togo" the leadership spirit Dog

Togo keletihan untuk meneruskan misi penting

Last night we had movie night. We watched a 'based upon a' true story movie, about a dog with leadership spirit named Togo. Togo lived with a maried couple in Alaska which bred and trained sled dogs. The village was hit by Diphtheria bacteria which attacked mostly kids. 

The master of Togo, Seppala volunteered to get the serum to the hospital for curing the disease, which was about 680 miles away round trip.

Togo was a hyperactive puppy is the beginning, they thought they couldn't cope with such behavior. They gave him away but he always find a way to escape and came back where he always felt faithful and belonged to the couple. The wife was trying to keep Togo but the husband on the other hand try to get rid of Togo. In the end, it turned out that Togo is great lead dog for the sled ride. Togo was already 12 years old when they need his service to lead in sledge during heavy snow and winter storm. The wife reluctant to let them go but the husband had no choice and get Togo to lead to the place where the serum was available. 

There were many rest points to go the main destination and come back to the hospital where the serum should be ended. 

Since Togo was an old dog, he still determined to finish the mission. He was lacked of energy at the second last destination, and he has to stop and other dog Balto had to continue the mission. Sadly, other dog had the name when the serum arrived, with the press was ready there to record the history of the arrival of the serum. 

Happy Saturday❤️

Semalam kami menonton filem berdasarkan cerita benar mengenai seekor anjing yang berjiwa kepimpinan bernama Togo. Togo tinggal dbersama pasangan suami isteri di Alaska. Ia dibesarkan dan dilatih untuk menjadi anjing sled. 

Kampung Togo dikejutkan dengan serangan bakteria Dipththeria dimana mengancam hanya nyawa kanak-kanak. Tuan Togo, Seppala, secara sukarela mengambil serum di hospital yang jauh., dianggar 680 batu dari kampung mereka. Demi nyawa kampung, seppala dan Togo redah ribut salji.

Togo adalah seekor anak anjing yang hyperaktif pada mulanya, dimana mereka tidak sanggup memelihara anjing berkelakuan demikian. Mereka serahkan Togo kepada orang yang sanggup menjaganya. Akan tetapi Togo mencari jalan unyuk melepaskan diri, dan kembali ke pangkuan yang ia kenali semasa dilahirkan. Si isteri mencuba sedaya upaya untuk membela Togo tetapi si suami ingin melepaskanya. Akhirnya, terserlah yang Togo adalah seekor anjing bersemangat dengan kepimpinan yang tinggi. Ia dilahirkan seekor anjing yang berada didepan untuk meminpin 6 ekor anjing-anjing yang di belakang. Tiba masanya mereka terpaksa mengguna khidmat Togo untuk membawa Tuannya ke  bandar mengambil serum. Mereka tidak begitu yakin kerana Togo sudah berumur 12 tahun, masa yang sama mereka tiada pilihan dalam keeadaan terdesak menyelamatkan kanak-kanak dijangkiti bakteria. 

Dalam perjalanan terdapat  beberapa tempat berhenti rehat ke destinasi dan kembali ke hospital dimana berakhirlah misi mereka. 

Walaupun Togo seekor anjing yanv tua, ia masih bersemangat untuk melengkapkan misinya untuk memgambil serum pembunuh bakteria. Sedihnya, Togo kekurangan tenaga semasa mereka sampai di destinasi yang kedua akhir. Juga Tuannya pun lemah. Togo terpaksa berhenti berehat, dan terpaksa serahkan tugasnya kepada anjing lain yang dibeti nama Balto untuk menyelesaikan misinya ke hospital iaitu hanya satu tempat lagi sahaja. Togo tidak berdaya lagi. 

Sedih teramat sedih bila Balto yang diberi pengiktirafan dan disambut ramai dengan pemberita, serta jurugambar merakamkan saat bersejarah semasa ketibaan serum di hospital itu. SubhanAllah.

Sangat tersentuh dengan kejadian yang seakan kehidupan manusia harian. Sedih hingga kami terus search ceritanya lagi di net.  Filem keluaran Disney. 

Salam Sabtu ❤️

Potong kecil-keil, pada firasat nak ulang makan

Tiga lapis lagi kenyang, tapi hanya letak 2 lapis 

In this week we ate sandwich. We have the ingredients but l feel like eating the ingredients just like that. But be reminded that eating them alone will not be satisfying or fufilling. In the beginning, we ordered avocados, 3 pieces in a packet. Planned to plant them, yet the seedings are still sitting by the sink. It seemed we cannot be farmers as yet. 

So here we go, prepared with slice of bread. Little bit of sauce only to avoid the taste go over the top. As seen in the restaurant or on the net  they add scrambled eggs, it would be three layers of color ie: yellow (eggs) , green (avocado) and orange (salmom) . After the breads, I placed the sliced of smoked salmon then cut avocado. The taste of the individual items will still have a lasting lingering final taste. Unlike how we eat rice with squid, we would finished the rice first and kept the squid aside, then eat squid only and tasted solely squidy. A trait brought forward from our chilhood past - 'save the best for last' 

I've also put up the photo of flowers that are neatly placed on the pot's plate as to invite butterflies, Yet only pesky snail tried hard to climb up for the feast. SubhanAllah. 

Assalamualaikum❤️

Dalam minggu ini ada termakan sandwich lagi.  Order avocado, datangnya 3 biji, cadang nak tanam dengan biji benih dari buah yang sudah dimakan. Tapi ia masih jadi hiasan di tepi sinki. Bahan-bahan yang menarik begini rasa nak makan begitu sahaja. Perlu diingat bila ratah sahaja takkan kenyang. 

So pengorbanan berlaku. Terpaksa sediakan dua keping roti,  pengalas iaitu sos dan butter disapu nipis-nipis, lepas itu letak smoked salmon, biasa di dalam menu restoran atau net, ada yang tambah telur hancur. tiga  lapis jadinya. Setelah fikir masak-masak tak nakla, nak rasa avocado dan ikan semangga-mangga.

Sos pun letak sikit, memang suka rasa asli bila sesuatu yang lazat, macam makan sotong atau udang, kita letak asing hingga nasi habis baru bau dan kunyah pelahan-lahan sotong tu kan. Teringat zaman kanak- kanak, 'simpan yang sedap untuk penghabisan' 

Saya lampirkan foto bunga-bunga yang diletak atas piring pasu untuk mrnjemput rama-rama tapi siput slow and steady usaha memanjat untuk  datang kenduri bunga :) 

Moga kita aman dan damai sentiasa. ❤️

Sotong Kangkung Recipe | Squid Salad

Bahasa dan video seminit di bawah :)

English version and one minute video below :)

Pensediaan dengan menunggu selalu terkantoi. 

Sabar itu, separuh dari iman, jadi teruskan hingga sotong kembang

Waiting to get ready is such a pain. 'Paitence is half of iman' as one hadith said; Therefore, I continue to wait till the dried cuttlefish rehydrates. 

The feeling of going to Penang Island, and lavish the famous dish at Gurney Drive hawker center, none other than Sotong Kangkung. The adventurous feeling of going thru and fro' from the hotel to the eatery via trishaw is memorable luxe.

Talking about Kangkung brought me back to my childhood memory about a story from my mom hiding in a river using Kangkung stalk as an air passage enabling her to stay long enough without loss of breath.  Such an amazing and unique discovery of people in oldies. Whilst we think of eating, even during processing. Not even looking at it closely. If I ever have a chance show the kids how a kang kung plants look like. Oh! for a sake of eating, too focused.. hehe. 

We bought the water crest. Once the kangkung brought in the house, I stood up and took out the dried squid, soak in abu water, soak it for at least 5 hours before the pieces rehydrate. You can also get them ready at wet markets.

I had second thought and end-up keeping the soaking squid in a container with lid instead. I couldn't stand the strong smell which was so inviting to pests I guess. I even recite the Ayatulkursi to prevent any critters from coming, and go far away instead. The next day, the processed continues. I washed the squid and boiled it as well as the green vege, tossed and cut them to bite size. 

Place the green first, cut squid on top, the last but not least the sauce. The sauce  was made out of a fruit sauce called rojak gravy which has prawn paste as one of the ingredient.  I mixed rojak gravy 2 tbs, chillie sauce, tomato sauce, soy sauce and chunked nut to sprinkle and also roasted sesame. Not forgetting malacca sugar. 

Cuttlefish and water crest gravy recipe

2 pieces of dried cutttlefish

2 packs of Kangkung

2 tbs prawn paste or rojak gravy

1 tbs chillie sauce

1tbs tomato sauce

1 tbs soy sauce

1 tbs  brown sugar

Chunked fried peanuts

A bit of roasted sesame seeds 

Mixed well, or cook well. 

Sayang selalu,, ❤️

Perasaan siapa yang tak terbawa ke Pulau Pinang, ke medan makan di tepi laut.  Order air di  pintu lain, duduk di depan kedai lain, kenalah rajin ber-'catwalk' ke sana sini di Gurney Drive. Cekup beca, balik hotel, mewah rasa.

Bila bercakap tentang kangkung, teringat emak cerita dia duduk dalam sungai, batang kangkung dijadikan salur udara, kan batang kangkung macam straw, berlubang di tengah.. Unik kan perjumpaan orang dulu-dulu! Manakala, kita ni nak makan ja, tak sempat nak belek-belek, sekurangnya tunjuk la kat anak mmm anak lidah, anak lidah..nak telan je hehe..

Kang kung di beli hari yang nak buat. Kang kung masuk dalam rumah ja, saya bangun keluarkan sotong kering yang dibeli tahun lepas. Buka plastik, ambil besen, letak 2 keping atau 2 ekor sotong kering dalam besen dan masukkan air abu, berapa liter, jap tanya pakar, dicampur air biasa., Rendam  selama 5 jam minima. Saya tukar dalam bekas yang ada penutup sebab tak boleh tahan baunya. Baca ayat kursi juga untuk hindarkan pest, makhluk perosak suka akan bau yang wangi biasa menjadi sasaran. Risau, proses sotong kangkung tetap diteruskan..

Esoknya baru dicuci, direbus. Kangkung juga begitu, dipotong bahagian akar, basuh, direbus asing. Isi sotong yang empuk, dipotong besar yang boleh masuk mulutkan. Sama untuk kangkung.

Untuk kuahnya, tiada petis udang, diganti denga kuah rojak madu, sos tomato, kicap manis, sos cili, gula melaka

Resepi kuah Sotong Kangkung

2 Bungkus kangkung

2 keping sotong kering

2 sb = sudu besar kuah rojak madu

1 sb sos cili

1 sb gula melaka

1 sb kicap

Kacang goreng tong heng (aci kan?) 

Sedikit Bijan disangai

Campur semua, mula nak masak. Tak jadi, semua sos, kalau petis tu kena masak. 

Berselera betulkan makanan orang asia ni. 

Love always❤️

Otak-otak Recipe

Bahasa dan video seminit di bawah :) 

English version and one minute video below :) 

Nak buka daun kelapa pun 

Satanya tak sesegar

During the first MCO, I was having problems wih Food Panda apps or portal. Local dish or small businesses are mostly are present in there. Adik loved and missed waffle from the kiosk, and sometime the tasty kaya balls. After we settled on the important matters, on the way home, we stopped by the kiosks place to fulfil adik wish. Looking at the place, the feeling to breathe fresh air became so clear and essential, suddenly:) 

We went out and order Fried banana cheese, Waffle with chocolate and peanut butter. Suddenly we saw Terengganu and Johor delights, we orderred Satar and Otak-otak. Unexpectedly, we stay longer when the latter food we ordered came ready first. We ate while waiting the other orders to be ready. After that moment, I was looking and asking for recipe of Satar and Otak-otak to make it at home. I had my first Sata at the Foodtruck Park at Jalan Ampang, and been loving it ever since. 

For the Karipap recipe, I asked from my aunty. As for Lempeng Pisang, I saw my uncle's recipe in a flight magazine. So we'll keep first the below Otak-otak recipe. 

Ingredients for grilled fish paste

2 tbs ground chillies

1/2 big onion

4 lemon grass

Buah keras or Candlenut 2 pcs

(grind the above and sauteed all with 2 tbs oil) 

Main ingredient

2 cups of ground fish

1 egg

1/2 - 1 cup of thick coconut milk

1 tbs tumeric powder. 

Pour coconut milk bit by bit make sure not so watery. 

2 tbs tepung jagung

Method:

Sauteed items mix with main ingredients. Salt and sugar to taste. The paste alike laid on the coconut leaves. 

Then, grilled for about 10 minutes I think. After I made some I will update the recipe here. 

Salam Friday with full barakah ❤️

Ketika PKP yang pertama, apps Foodpanda saya menghadapi masalah. Makanan lokal atau peniaga kecil lebih banyak di food panda berbanding portal lain. Adik suka waffle biasa tu yang kekadang bersebelahan dengan kaya ball. 

Selepss uruskan hal hal penting, kami singgah di warung untuk mengotakan permintaan adik. Bila tengok tempatnya, rasa nak hirup udara luar. Kami pun keluar, order Pisang goreng cheese, Waffle chocolate, ternampak pula Satar ikan, pertama kali makan Satar di food truck park kat Jalan Ampang tepi Ampang Park yang telah roboh tu. Sedapnya tak terhingga. Masa lalu di bawah pokok ternampak, order terus, sekali harung dengan Otak-otak. Cepat pula siap Otak-otak dibanding dengan pesanan yang lain. Sambil menunggu kami perkena dulu Otak-otak  dan Satar. 

Jadi saya tercari-cari juga resepi simple untuk dibuat sendiri. Resepi Karipap saya dapat dari mak cik. Resepi Lempeng pisang pula dapat dari Pakcik tapi bukan dari dia sendiri tapi resepinya tertulis di majalah lapangan terbang. (Flight magazine). Okaylah, kita simpan dan catat resepi otak-otak dulu. 

Resepi Otak-Otak

Bahan tumis:

2 sudu besar cili  - kalau nak pedas, boleh tambah

1/2 biji bawang besar

3-4 batang serai 

buah keras disebut kalau letak 2 biji

2 sudu besar minyak 

(untuk tumis, bahan di atas di mesin atau di kisar) 

Bahan utama:

2 cawan ikan di mesin halus 

saya cadang nak guna dory hehe.. 

1 biji telur 

1/2 – 1 cawan santan pekat 

Tuang santan sambil gaul  dan agak agar tak terlalu lembik. 

2-3 sudu besar tepung jagung

1 sudu besar serbuk kunyit. 

Caranya:

Bahan yang telah ditumis digaul dengan ikan dan campurannya.  

Gula dan garam secukup rasa.

Letak isi yang digaul sebati atas daun kelapa.

Bakar 10 minit atas bawah. Nanti saya cuba, baru tahu berapa lama.

Salam Jumaat yang penuh barakah InshaAllah. ❤️

Roti Jala - Rolled Crepe

Bahasa dan video seminit di bawah:) 

English version and one minute video below :) 

Melipatnya pun dalam belanga

Menjala sakan hehe.. 

Now we know the name of a tea time meal originated from fishing net. The inspiration flowed down to homecooking with flour for tea time known as Roti Jala. As for me it's also called Roti Surai, a pancake or crepe type ingredient but using a special apparatus to get a 'fish net' type of looks, like a piece of crepe or pancake with lots of holes. 

On 8th Agust 2021 in history was the day we made roti jala not for the first time, but many times which occured continuous improvements. We've bought the plastic cup with holed legs a.k.a roti jala mould, as before we just settled out for a plastic cup poked with handmade holes.

I'm sure some people out there with good cooking skills that could produce fine roti jala. They could convert their homecooking skills into professional and commercialized this home dish. We had tasted some outside, saw in an outlet of a shopping mall that sold roti jala dish at RM14++ per set.  Five rolls of roti jala with a bowl of chicken curry. As for us, we do not  implement this as yet, will have to wait till we master it.

Back to our own made roti jala on Sunday, we didn't finish and kept them in the fridge. On Wednesday, we heated up, the roti jala still tasted good. 

It was a challenge making roti jala because we're not sure that the batter was liquidified enough. The tool was in hand, the pancake looked like a meal turnout rough, like it was cooked by KL gangster. Alhamdulillah we were full after giving our effort to make the drean come true. Didn't remember to tell the kids about our home meal is better than pizza. Adik tried a bit needs time getting used to the taste. InshaAllah. 

Assalamualaikum ❤️

Rupanya roti jala ni dapat dari inspirasi nelayan yang menjala ikan dengan jala. Tentulah jala itu satu alats atau perkakas penting untuk kaum nelayan. 

Pada 8hb Ogos 2021 hari Isnin dalam sejarah kami buat roti jala hehe.. Kalau pandai buat dan sejukkan sebab lebihan roti kami simpan di dalam peti sejuk dan makan hari Rabu 10 Ogos. Panaskan, masih lembut dan rasa sedap tapi rupa parasnya tak lah sesuai untuk dijual, idea je ada, biar yang pandai buat roti untuk menjamu keluarga atau jadi peniaga. Roti jala berset memang menjadi permintaan sekarang. Restoran Nyonya ada keluarkan Set Roti Jala, kari ayamnya biar pekat berlemak, bukan ceroi.  Harga mahal di restoran dalam mall, anggaran RM14 ++ dapat 5 gulung roti jala dengan semangkuk kari ayam. 

Cubaan  kami membuat roti jala penuh cabaran, dengan bekas kaki berlubang tu untuk surai bancuhan tepung roti surai atau jala. Saya panggil roti surai. Tak halus seperti roti jala orang, nampak macam KL gangster yang masuk dapur je hehe.. Tapi kenyanglah haritu setelah memasak, Alhamdulillah, lupa nak cerita dekat abang adik yang makanan minum petang kita ni lebih enak dari pizza. Adik rasa sikit, dia suka. 

Salam sejahtera❤️

Birds - not Food |Bukan makanan kucing

Bahasa dan video seminit di bawah :) 

English version and one minute video below :) 

Burung belaan adik menjadi sasaran

Bukan halau, tapi memberi amaran ja

A year ago, adik dreamt of a petting zoo themed birthday.  For the first time we were excited but for the second idea we became sceptical. 

Having other animals means that a double up on all housechores. Coincidently a month before, a mother cat came for visit, that was during school holiday. During that time we even had a staycation at the A'famosa resort. Our prayer stop at the nearby surau outside had us encountered with a couple of kitties, the surau goers even told us to take the kittens as they are strays. We didn't take the advice since we were on the way to the destination and not going back home. To make a long story short, we came home and saw a few stray kittens that are hanging around the house. Definitely they are the first member of the petting zoo. A few weeks later approching the party  date, we thought of adding some more member in the fish tank. There we went to a local petshop and ended up with two rabbits as they were offered so cheap, and two lovebirds (parakeets). At the beginning, we intended to give the birds back once the party is over. Eversince then, day by day, came up with the lockdown & MCO , the original plan has remain just a plan. Thought about the condition of the shop, the environment there is not natural for the pet to call home. The birds are not as brave and indie as the free ones. So the birds are still here and thats the main reason the fluffy tailed stray cat we called Cookie came by to aim or to admire,. I saw one morning Cookie erupted with her hunting instincts, targeting the birds, I screamed and nagged at her explaining the birds are not her food, she looked and seem understand and walk away, didn't take it to her heart and did came back  and well behaved after that. 

Stay calm❤️

Setahun yang lepas, adik mengimpikan hari jadi bertemakan zoo yang boleh dibelai, sebelumnya sudah meraikan majlis begitu. Yang pertama ibubapa yang lebih teruja, kali kedua mula dah cuak. Mempunyai haiwan lain bermakna bergandalah kerja-kerja rumah. Majlis yang lebih ke tema ladang, farm life gitu. Majlis yang kedua ni lebih ke belai membelai haiwan ala petting zoo. Kebetulan sebulan dua sebelum hari jadi adik, ada ibu kucing datang bertandang, pada cuti sekolah pada masa tu. Beberapa hari kemudian, kami pergi bercuti di A'famosa resort, terkenang riang masa abang adik menunggang gajah. Di perhentian sebelum sampai ke situ, kami singgah di surau kat kawasan kampung berdekatan, ada beberapa ekor anak kucing yang comel-comel belaka, orang yang keluar masuk surau situ cakap, boleh ambil anak kucing tu, sebab tidak bertuan. Pendek cerita kami tak ambil sebab bukan hala balik rumah, dan dalam kereta pun dah sendat. 

Sesampai kami dirumah, ibu kucing yang pernah bertandang tu sudah melahirkan beberapa anak kucing, kelabu, jingga dan hitam jika tak silap. 

Itulah permulaannya, anggota-anggota ahli petting zoo yang sedia ada. Kira jadilah mengelolakan majlis bertema petting zoo, ikan dalam balang pun tersergam boleh diperagakan. Seminggu dua buat  persediaan, disebutkan nak tambah ikan dalam akuarium, sekurang kurangnya boleh membahagiakan kanak-kanak yang bakal hadir. Punca ke kedai pet tu la terjebak 'terbeli pulak' burung-burung parakeet, arnab 2 ekor sebab peniaga bagi harga murah sesangat, kami pun ingat mudah, bawa balik ahli ahli keluarga baru ni. Asalnya cadang nak pulangkan butung kepada kedai tapi tup tup PKP, pastu fikir balik, burung di kedai kurang alam semulajadinya. Jadi di sini, kami cuba letak dekat dengan pokok. Pernah terlepas, tetapi burung belaan tak begitu lincah macam burung liar. Jadi itulah kucing ekor gebu di beri nama Cookie ini datang mengacau burung suatu pagi, saya jerit dan berleterlah dekat dia. Dengar, tumpu ja ia bagai memahami, terus pergi tetapi kemudiannya kembali tanpa mengusik burung burung itu lagi. SubhanAllah. 

Bawa-bawa bertenang ❤️

Banana Crepe | Lempeng Pisang Kelapa

Banana Coconut  Crepe | Lempeng Pisang Kelapa

Bahasa dan video seminit di bawah :) 

English version and one minute video below :) 

  Lenyek dengan bawah cawan

Jika tambah kepingan kelapa muda lagi ummph, tersembur serbuk buk gula icing

Early on, wanted to order banana for small project. Once delivered a 1kg of banana  and I settled it at banana hanger. A day passed, bananas happily ripen by itself. The project was abandoned as on rainy days, the thirst for smoothies or normal juice fade away.

It's hanging there as if inviting small flies. Obviously I like to invite garden animals not insects like that hehe

Immediately, we made thick crepe mix with banana and coconut flakes. As the coconut flakes are close to the expiry date, I hurriedly devised a plan to make it into a good use of something delicious. 

Mashed two bananas, mix with 2 cup of water, half a cup of coconut milk and flakes. I wanted to make it authentic like how my arwah mak tok did, which wrapped the goodies with banana leaf. Readily, we can eat them just like that. If you like, sprinkle with powder sugar and cinnamon. 

Salam sayang ❤️

Mulanya, order pisang sebab ada projek kecil. Sekali ia datang, tuh dia... sesikat besar! Sehari ia tersadai di tempat gantung pisang (yang dibeli dari Daiso) rasa ada kehidupan kuning terang di situ. Projek tah ke mana pergi sebabnya hujan tiada lagi minat untuk nak buat smoothies atau jus biasa pun. Terkonteng-kontenglah ia di situ bagai menjemput bari-bari pula. Sah-sah saya suka menjemput haiwan ditaman bukannya bari-bari hehe..

Cepat cepat dibuat lempeng pisang, kelapa parut juga ditumpang sekaki, tak nak hampir luput baru terhegeh-hegeh nak buat sesuatu.

Caranya:

Lenyek 2 biji pisang dengan bawah cawan,  secawan air, setengah cawan santan, konon nak lempeng asli kan tak mudah melekat di belanga..sedikit gula..

Siap, makan begitu saja, atau buh gula icing, suka serbuk kayu manis tu taruh je. Mengimbau zaman arwah mak tok saya yang bakar dengan daun pisang. Alhamduillah.

Syukur selalu ❤️

Pandan Coconut Cookies

Bahasa dan video seminit di bawah:)

English version and one minute video below:) 

Warna pandan kuat 

Piping macam biskut samprit. 

Flashing back few months ago, I had to honour myself hehe for making raya cookies. 

Fasting at daytime, havingt terawikh and extra classes for kids and yet I've baked cookies. Since we have coconut flakes and  been seeing a lot of viral pandan cake gula melaka, I couldn't sit still but baked some not cake but cookies. 

How it turned out didn't bother me. What I cared the most was the mood and the aroma of coming hari raya that I could give at that moment. It cheered everybody up, inbthe distinguished month of Ramadan that they were in. That's what any parent could do right to bloom the atmosphere of winning  celebration ahead.

The aroma of pandan, coconut raised as well as coconut sugar, gave combination awsome fragrance. Loved and missed the moment. Cakey cookies have been the centre of attraction, the main focus to look forward to. It's yummy tastes that melted in your mouth.

Salam bahagia❤️

Imbas kembali beberapa bulan dahulu, saya rasa berbesar hati buat diri sendiri hehe.. kerana telah rajin mengadun tepung dan membakar biskut raya. 

Berpuasa di siang hari, malam berterawikh, juga ada kelas extra untuk budak-budak lepas solat sunat tu masih larat lagi untuk buat kuit ala tart.. Saya bersemangat kerana bahannya dah  sedia ada, iaitu flakes kelapa parut masih dalam simpanan. Lagi-lagi kerap lihat kek pandan gula melaka menular merata tertambat mengidam. Tak boleh jadi, duduk tengok saja mesti berganjak ke membakar biskut. 

Jadi tak jadi tu, belakang kira, kerana tepung telur masak sekejap dah boleh makan. Logiknya kerana telur separuh masak  diamal ramai. Yang penting, aroma dari mentega, pandan, bauan gula kabung, kelapa parut tu memukau hati. Itulah yang dapat saya memeriahkan keadaan di bulan ramadan. Ia menceriakan malam dari malam biasa menuju bulan Syawal. Ia menjadi tumpuan utama pada malam tu. Sebagai ibu, ini adalah salah satu cara untuk membangkitkan suasana  merayakan kemenangan yang bakal menjelma. Wangi pandan, mentega serta gula kabung menyelebungi udara malam tu. Rindu momen tu, semua menumpu perhatian di dapur sambil menunggu biskut masak untuk merasa biskut yang sedap dan yang cair dalam mulut. serta aroma biskut itu sendiri mengamit selera. SubhanAllah. 

Sesambil menaip mama menonton Fikrah TV1 berkenaan Tokoh Maal Hijrah 2021, teringat arwah Tok saudara yang mana adik arwah Mak Tok juga Tokoh Maal Hijrah nak kena search tahun apa. Al-Fatihah. 

Chilled Karipap

Karipap sejuk dibakar atau digoreng seeloknya? 

? 

 tengok rupa karipap yang dikeluarkan dari peti sejuk dan yang dah dibakar

The season of karipap is in the house. It happened when I started learning to do it. Love the taste of the bite of karipap. Making it was not fast but furious. Sometimes I made it a lot for next time. That was when I could sit and eat the karipaps slowly. 

The chilled karipaps I've kept. I didn't freeze them yet. Doubt it to be as good after freezed them. Took them out that morning, placed them on the oven tray. I baked this time around. I was prudent with cooking oil at starts. BTW, didn't I mentioned that we got cooking oil and rice for Aidil Adha gift from surau nearby? When the karipaps were cooked, I pulled the tray and noticed that they were slightly darken but Alhamdulillah it turned out delicious and nutritious. 

Selamat sejahtera❤️

Musim karipap menjadi-jadi di rumah. Berlakunya stok karipap menaik setelah saya mula belajar buat karipap . Suka rasa pastri dan inti karipap tu. Membuatnya taklah cepat tapi penat. Kekadang saya buat lebih untuk simpan. Bila senang  segar badan cergas untuk duduk menikmatinya dengan perlahan. Karipap yang disimpan cuma disejukkan, rasa cuak pula nak sejukbeku takut nanti tak sesedap yang diharapkan hehe.. 

Ambil karipap sejuk dari peti sejuk. Letak di atas dulang ketuhar. Mulanya amalkan kurangkan minyak, jadi bakar dalam ketuhar. Sekarang ni tetiba aje ada minyak, beras, biskut pemberian dari pihak surau berdekatan sini sempena hari raya haji. Ghairah juga dapat menggoreng nanti sebab dapat minyak. Buka oven bila bunyi loceng sudah masak, tarik dulang tu nampak warna perang ketara tapi Alhamdulillah sedap dan sihat karipap tanpa minyak. Bolehlah cuba :)

Selamat sejahtera semua ❤️

Hainanese Chicken Chop Rice

Hainanese Chicken Rice

Bahasa dan video semint di bawah:) 

English version and one minute video beow :) 

Rindukan Old Town Hainanese

Struggle juga keluarkan tulang isi peha ayam

We sometime had Hainanese Chicken Rice when we went out. The different between chicken rice and hainanese rice is that the sauce is with mixed vege. The chicken meat is boneless. We struggled to debone the chicken thigh. Successfully, we made it through. Learnt it from you tube video though. We supposed to mix the fried potatoes in the gravy as well. When we saw the fried potatoes were soft inside and crispy outside, we reserved it for eating just like that. The deboned chicken thigh were so good and as for the keel chicken were cut thin but didn't separate. It was as good as well. Loved the servings and how it turned out. 

We followed the recipe from the internet, altering a bit to wharever available at home. The meal is good business product. 

Salam Maal Hijrah 1443 ❤️

Kami pernah juga makan Nasi ayam Hainanese bila keluar. Perbezaan di antara nasi ayam Hainanese dengan nasi ayam biasa ialah sosnya ada mix vege. Daging ayamya adalah bahagian peha dikeluarkan tulang. Susah nak keluarkan tulang tapi kami berjaya. Belajar pun dari youtube aje. Tungkus lumus juga, risa daging menjadi hancur. 

Tentang ubi kentang, lepas goreng, sedap sangat nampak hingga tak jadi campur dengan kuah. Lembut di dalam tapi rangup di luar. Goreng biasa tapi deep fry. Tiba tiba rasa nak makan begitu saja.

Isi peha yang juga dikeluarkan tulangnya sangat enak, bahagian dada juga dihiris nipis tapi tak putus juga sedap, lembut seakan bahagian peha. Suka masakan kali ni tak sangka terjadi lazat. Alhamdulillah. Ikut resepi tapj diolah sedikit sebanyak ikut apa yang ada dirumah. Masakkan begini senang  dibawa jual ;}

Salam Maal Hijrah 1443❤️

Macaroni Bolognese | Lebih kenyang dengan toppings

Macaroni Bolognese | lebih kenyang dengan topping :)

Bahasa dan video seminit di bawah :) 

English version and one minute video below :) 

Ada saja yang tiada bila mahu buat eksperimen, video diteruskan

Kena cuba, baru tahu, kan

There comes the time for macaroni day. We simply fulfil their request. We rotate a week or two, the macaroni will make an appearance on the eating table. Sometime featuring with breaded fish, mostly none. Had one or two bowls, yet the tummy told the mind that it will be hungry in two hours time. Why? The reason might be because of not so much of grounded meat in the sauce. That means it's too much carbo but lack of protein, and yes...hungry for me. I realised that when we are eating out, the bolognese sauce will come with loads of cheese on top, that's lots of protein from the cheese. . I will get full in an instant and this will last for the next meal time. So it's normal right, when feeling hungry in between and it's like: what has gone wrong? 

We have leftover chilled macaroni and the sauce from the fridge, unfortunately when I wanted to experiment it, a sliced cheese but only left with one slice. I had to divide it in three equal portions. So manageable and full feeling, and didn't have a desire to eat anything else after that. Alhamdullilah happy ending.

Have a blessed day❤️

Akan ada suatu hari dimana kuah merah bolognese makaroni disajikan. Mengotakan permintaan budak-budak. Selang pusing seminggu dua, macaroni akan menjelma di atas meja makan, sesekali ada jemputan ikan salut tepung, walaupun biasanya tiada. Makan satu atau dua mangkuk, tetap isyarat dari perut ke minda memperkatakan yang ia masih lapar. Kenapa ya?  Sebabnya tak banyak daging kisar di dalam sos, boleh jadi. Maksudnya terlalu banyak karbo manakala kurang  protin. Ya, masih lapar bagi mama. Saya perasan bila makan di luar, kuah bolognesenya  ditutupi dengan cheese yang tebal, keju dari susu, superfood, baby pun cepat membesar. Terasa kenyang hingga ke waktu makan yang lain tak la di antara. Brunch bagai takda la masa. Barulah normal kan, kalau lapar di tengah jalan, ada tak kena tu. Saja nak ambil minum petang tu ok ni sebab lapar. 

Saya keluarkan lebihan macaroni bolognese yang sejuk dan sosnya juga sejuk dari peti ais. Tetiba keju keping tinggal sekeping. Bertabahla bahagi dua, eh bukan! tiga. Panaskan, teruruslah juga segalanya, rasa kenyang alhamdulillah selepas makan makaroni kali ni. Tak da rasa nak makan lagi. Berakhir dengan kegembiraan :) (Kalau emak saya, akan cakap tiada permulaan apa2 pun kenapa ending hehe rindu bondaku❤️

Moga hari ini dan seterusnya diberi keberkatan ❤️

Banana | Roti Pisang

Banana with bread | Roti Pisang

Mudah potong, rasanya sedap

Sambil pegang handphone, sambil tabur serbuk kayu manis, tercurah

After sending kids to school, stop at the restaurant near by for breakfast. Since the pandemic, we tried to minimise going to places. Actually we thought twice to send kids to school but last year the case was low and even our  DG KKM got global recognition for his success to manage the difficult situation. Some say it was too early. There's blessing in disguise as people here will get culture shock if the changes are abruptly. 

Like 10 minutes from school we arrived home, cut banana slices, laid them on bread. Sprinkle with cinnamon powder. Instead of jam, we made it differently with sliced banana. Took photos of every corner even stomach made growling noises. 

Selepas menghantar anak-anak ke sekolah, kekadang berhenti di kedai berdekatan untuk menjamah sarapan. Sejak berlaku pandemik, cuba kurangkan pergi ke tempat- tempat yang tidak berkenaan. Sebenarnya terfikir dua kali juga untuk melepaskan anak ke sekolah tetapi masa tu kes masih kurang manakala Director General KKM pun mendapat pengiktirafan antarabangsa kerana berjaya kendali situasi pandemik yang payah ini dengan baik. Setengah pihak mengatakan ia terlalu awal tapi bersyukur dan lihat positifnya yang penduduk kita pun mungkin mrngalami kejutan budaya jika berubah terlalu cepat. 

Dalam 10 minit dari sekolah kami sampai di rumah. Potong pisang, atur diatas roti, terlangkup dengan roti kosong di atas pisang. Potong empat, letak elok-elok dan tabur serbuk kayu manis diatasnya, lalu ambil gambar setiap penjuru. Pusing sana pusing sini, baru makan. Perut berkeroncong bagai nak rak, tetap nak ambil video jugak.

Selamat berpuasa bagi yang berpuasa. Salam Takziah buat Shuib, husband arwah Siti Sarah, moga beliau di tempatkan bersama orang beriman, Ameen

Sushi Roll | PKP2020

Sushi Roll |PKP2020

Bahasa dan video kurang semint di bawah :)

English version and one minute video below :)

Sushi sedang digulung

Beras sushi disimpan, dalam video gulung mudah pun ada tercicir, salah kaedah? 

When the annoucement of PKP had passed, the usual routine had stopped but the food on the plate kept going on. Though food will be alerted by growling tummies, I'd like to make sure the food will always be on the table when it is eating time. Try lah actually hehe..

I bought the seaweed at grocers, I bumped into sushi rice early on, bought and kept it at first. Got the vinegar though, it's not really necessary but it did helped to make the rice less sticky. 

Abang and adik love sushi. I took a chance to make sushi together. It's kind of dangerous to try out something unfamilliar during lockdown because we could order food only at certain times, and after 5 pm or so the delivery would only be made after 8:30 pm I think. Once an order is made, you will need to wait, and it was not convenient at maghrib time. No one wanted to wait.  

I cooked the sushi rice, grilled chicken, since we didnt have cucumber, I took out salad. Adik was excited to do it and she took over during rolling time. She laid the sushi seaweed sheet, put the rice on, cut chicken on, salad, she rolled without salad instead. It is quite filling eating a whole sushi roll like that. The moment has passed, but it sure will be missed even now, it was nice, quiet and slow living. 

Bila pengumuman diketahui, rutin yang biasa terhenti tetapj makanan macam biasa perlu diteruskan. Walau tak sedia, pasti digerakkann oleh perut perut yang lapar untuk disediakan. Saya suka sedia seeloknya sebelum lapar sememangnya waktu makan. Cuba la hehe.. 

Saya beli kepingan seaweed di grocers. Ternampak beras sushi lama sebelumnya, terus beli dan simpan. Beli juga cuka walau rasa nya tak petlu sangat, rasa masam tapi untuk mengelakkan nasi melekat nak guna juga. 

Abang dan adik gemar sushi, saya ambil peluang buat sushi ni bersama. Memang bahaya juga mengeksperimen sesuatu waktu lockdown, jika tidak jadi mood boleh jadi down terkapai-kapai bila lapar. Order makanan pun waktu tertentu, menunggu satu hal, jika lambat lepas maghrib, gelap tiada sesiapa berminat nak menunggu.

Masak beras sushi, bakar ayam, potong ayam dan sediakan salad disebabkan tiada timun. 

Adik teruja untuk buat sushi, menunggu saja dulu. Bila semua disediakan baru serah tugasan, adik letak sekeping seaweed, letak nasi dan ayam serta salad. Dia gulung kepingan seaweed yang berisi tetapi terkeluar pulak salad nya. 

Sushi yang sempurna memang mengenyangkan sebab semua ada dalam gulungan itu.  

Masa yang lepas pasti dikenang, walau sekarang mengimbas kembali, tenang, sunyi dan tidak tergesa-gesa, bersantai perlahan waktu pkp yang lalu.
