Banana | Roti Pisang

Banana with bread | Roti Pisang

Bahasa dan video kurang seminit di bawah:)

English version and one minute video below:)

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. 

Avocado Toast | Roti. Bakar Avocado

English version and one minute video below:)

Perlu pastikan buahnya ranum dulu

Jika masih muda buahnya, patut di buat apa tah la .. ulam kut

We did grocery online shopping a few days ago, when list out things to buy,  we thought of avocado. Early on, we bought some and we tried to plant it's seed. , We poke few tooth pick on the seed and let it float in the water as shown in youtube. Day by day we checked on it, it didnt show any sign of root coming out.

We thought to buy some again and try to plant it again. We bought three and they are kind of hard. They were not soft, but by the third day at room temperature, it's started to be slidely soft. I was thinking on making avocado toast.

As usual, the peel already darkened but was still hard; I have to took it out slowy. Then, I prepared toast, and while the breads are heating up, the avocado was ready to be sliced. I sat and saw everything was ready, sliced thinly, and lay them on the bread. I was already hungry but didn't take the chance to feed my mouth on the avocado slice hehe..

When it's full on one side of the toast, I sprinkled with bit of pepper and salt. Cover with another slice of bread, cut to two and another two for bite size, share with my other half, ate all, made another batch but didn't filmed it. We were so full with good avocado fat at breakfast! 

Have a nice day ❤️

Kami buat pembelian barang dapur beberapa hari yang lepas. Bila menyenaraikan barang keperluan, terfikir tentang buah avocado. Sebelum ini, dah beli sebiji dua, dan cuba menanam pohon avocado melalui bijinya. Kami cucuk empat batang pengorek gigi di tepi biji avocado  dan letak dalam bekas berisi air, biar biji terapung atas air seperti diajar di youtube. Hari-hari menunggu akar umbi tak keluar pun. Jadi kami cuba lagi dengan biji yang baru. frasa mahu cuba lagi, avocado yang diterima masih keras. Tiga hari selepas peram atas para, tengok buahnya semakin lembut. So semalam cuba kupas, nampak isinya elok, sediakan roti dua keping, letak dalam pembakar roti, sambil menunggu. Sedia piring. Naik saja roti yang dibakar, letak atas piring, mulalah potong nipis-nipis, letak atas roti. Bila roti dipenuhi potongan avocado, tabur sedikit garam dan lada hitam.

Terlangkup sekeping roti lagi, potong dua, dan potong lagi dua menjadi saiz kecil, dikongsi lagi separuh. Makan terus tak tunggu lagi, buat satu lagi set tak videokan, kenyang betul dengan lemak bagus avocado pagi tu. Alhamdulillah.

Happy Sunday ❤️

Pandan Cake

Bahasa dan video seminit di bawah :) 

English version and one minute video below:) 

Satu homemade, satu lagi kiriman dari kenduri kahwin

Buat kek, bancuhnya dan menyuci peralatannya yang lama.

At one time in our life, making cake is like a routine. It started with baking for fun, then followed with the trend of baking, filming video. Adik and abang were fond of you tube watching but only adik was interested in video. First she borrowed our phone and filmed herself of doing art, telling about Prophet of Musa AS. 

As for this pandan cake, she herself loved to do it. I tended wanting her to do but not long after came with PDPR schedule we could not force anyone. Then I love to record my  own breakfast, then love the music background, doing it everytime. I always chose the cake recipe with one or two eggs. Usually, I tried to make oats cake, the recipe were search 1 egg or 2 eggs recipe. That time I felt guilty as i started eating clean, more vege and protein and less carbo. So pandan cake turned out very nice and good to eat.  We ate, kept in the fridge and finished it in a week or so. 

Suatu ketika dalam hidup kami, membakar kek ada dalam rutin. Pada mulanya, buat kek untuk seronok-seronok. Dah mula terjebak ikut trend membakar, menvideo.. Adik dan abang suka sangat dengan youtube. Adik selalu juga minta pinjam telefon dan rakam aktivitinya, salah satu yang terharu dia buat video seerah Nabi Musa as. 

Untuk kek pandan ni, dia dengan suka hati sendiri nak terokai. Tak lama lepas tu dah ada PDPR, tak boleh la nak ajak orang tu orang ni. Dari situ mula video roti sebelum makan hehe.. hati tertambat pula dengan lagu latar, kerja nak buat ja. Duk buat la lepas tu. Okay biasa cari resepi kek yang bahannya satu biji telur atau dua biji telur. Rasa bersalah juga bila buat kek selalu sebab masa awal sebelum PKP, dah mula makan rendah karbo. Kek pandan menjadi juga, sebiji kek tu habis dalam 6 hari, sebab ia manis kan. 

Oats Banana Cookies | Biskut Oats pisang

Bahasa dan video seminit di bawah:)

English version and one minute video below:)

2 bahan tertambah satu extra cadangan dari pihak ketiga

Pagi lihat langit, petang lihat langit, bila boleh lihat paras mata terus ke horizon ni.. 

Just trying 3 ingredients banana cookies. Actually 2 ingredients are enough. When adik sunggested to add on white chocolate chips, I myself didn't hesitate. 

Trying to avoid sweet but still ending up with sweet. With this 2 ingredients I could enjoy  sweetness from fruits but it didn't happen. 

Now I know that it is not easy to make a shift. If we are determined,  perhaps there are challenges in between. Back to oats banana cookies. Mash two bananas, add  1 cup of oats in, mix well like cookie dough.  Make a normal cookie size, and put chips on top, just heat up a bit brown at edge, take it out from the oven. Let it cool for awhile and enjoy it. Love this for snack or for breakfast. If you have more time could add egg and flour, like a real cookie but with longer time in the oven. 

Take care of yourself and others. 

Saja cuba 3 bahan cookie oats dan pisang. Adik cadangkan untuk tambah chips choc putih, mama rasa boleh je.  Yang sebenar 2 bahan, pisang dan oats. Itulah kekadang matlamat untuk makan manis buah tetapi ada saja cabarannya. 

Dengar choc chip, rasa kecur air liur, jadi letak lah juga. Sebenarnya tidak mudah untuk mengubah diet. Ada saja yang melengahkan hari yang kita nak elakkan gula, nakkan manis buah, tertambah pula gula coklat. 

Kembali ke oats pisang cookies ni, lenyek dua biji pisang campur secawan oats, gaul, cubit dan jadikan bentuk cookies, letak chip choc di atas, bakar 10 minit. Jika ada masa boleh tambah telur, tepung, uli, masa bakarnya lebih panjang, makan pun lebih kenyang. 

Jaga diri ya. InshaAllah

Makanan Tupai | Squirrel Food

Bahasa dan video kurang seminit di bawah :)

English version and less than one minute video below :)

Potong kecil-kecil

Tupai dan burung suka

Ever since been reading somewhere or saw documentary about making your own sanctuary at home, I loved the idea to have one.

First of all, thinking of inviting birds to come over.  After awhile I saw squirrels visited here frequently. I preferred tupai pinang as their face is more rounded, cute like chipmunks.

I went to pet shop and asked for squirrel's food, the sale guy said they only sell sugarglider's food ,  And, we don't have sugar glider.

I decided to feed dried whole meal breads. I put at the gate wall. The gate wall is quite far from home window. So I made another feeding place, on a hanging pot. Sure enough, they start coming regularly for the food. 

Happy Saturday 

Sejak terbaca dan tertonton dokumentari tentang membina kawasan khas untuk haiwan atau burung taman berkunjung, saya terjebak mengusahakanya. 

Pertamanya, menjemput burung dengan makanan burung atau lebihan nasi. Tak berapa lama pula, si tupai tanah yang bertandang. Suka lihat tupai tanah terlompat-lompat tapi lebih suka tupai pinang. Tupai pinang mempunyai kepala yang lebih bulat, comel macam chipmunks. 

Saya pernah cari makanan tupai di pet shop tapi jurujual beritahu yang mereka hanya menjual makanan sugar glider. Manalah" kami ada tupai terbang. 

Jadi, saya letak roti penuh serat yang dipotong kecil ala kering kekadang tu. Saya letak di atas tembok pagar depan. Tinggi senang nampak tapi agak jauh dari pintu atau tingkap rumah. 

Untuk lebih dekat, saya cuba letak makanan di pasu gantung betul depan pintu tu. Boleh videokan tunjukkan kat anak-anak. Itu saja liputan hari ini. :) 

Salam Sabtu, semalam Jumaat terakhir dalam tahun Islam.
