Chili Beef Lung and Tom Yum Soup | Sambal Paru Lembu dan Sup Tom Yam

Bahasa dan video pendek di bawah :) 

English version and short video below :) 

Came back from Lotus the hypermarket here with cut vege and ready to cook Tom Yum ingredients. | Balik dari Lotus bawa balik sayur dan bahan Tom Yam yang dah dipotong sedia dimasak.

Beef lung was kept frozen for a few days, its time to cook it with green chilli paste. | Paru lembu yang telah disimpan beku beberapa hari dah patut dimasak sambal hijau paru. 


While cooking, I got a call from a guest to come over for breaking fast with us. So I continued cooking, didn't add any dish but added an extra plate.


I still arranged the plates on the kitchen table. Didn't have any intention to do it at another place.


Luckily we didn't feel cramped with 5 pax at the small diner setting. 


The Tom Yum didn't turn up as expected. Then I concluded that it's the end of story for me as a cook. Need to be served and cooked for hehe. like Henry Ford, he"s not good in a certain skill, so he just 'hired' the right peeps :) to do the job for him hehe.. 


Anyway, the beef lung turned up so good until I could eat it just like that, on it's own. Of course there was celery mix orange apple juice to grab if it too spicy :) 


That was a beautiful evening with prayers lead by the guest. Thankful. 


Happy Friday ❤️


Semasa memasak dapat panggilan dari tetamu nak berbuka dengan kami. Saya teruskan memasak tak tambah  lauk tapi letak pinggan lebih satu. 


Saya susun pinggan di atas meja dapur. Tak da rancangan nak pergi tukar tempat lain. 


Nasib baik, kami tak rasa  bertemu bahu berlima di meja makan halus ni.


Kuah Tom Yam tak lah menjadi seperti diharapkan. Kira habis cerita aih buat diri ni jadi tukang masak. Macam kena jadi orang yang menunggu dihidangkan dan dimasakkan ja :) ibarat Henry Ford, dia tiada kemahiran dalam satu bidang, jadi beliau hanya upahkan orang yang pakar bidang tu jer hehe.. 


Apapun, paru lembu terjadi dengan sedapnya sampai boleh diratah begitu saja. Tapi mestila ada jus seleri campur oren epal nak capai kalau terpedas :) 


Malam pada hari tu sangat indah, bersolat terawikh berimankan tetamu seorang tu. Alhamdulillah. Syukur. 


Salam Jumaat ❤️

Bahasa dan 2 video pendek di bawah :)

English version and 2 short videos below :)

Its time to delegate tasks to others | masanya untuk menurunkan tugasan kepada generasi muda

Chose something easy with less ingredients and not time consuming. | pilih masakan yang kurang bahan dan tidak makan masa lama. 


Early in the morning, I told abang that I preferred him to prepare his favorite dish. He agreed and willing to do it.


On the other hand, adik preferred chicken, so I told her, she could learn cooking her favorite food, and at least becomes an expert on preparing one dish of hers. 


She's fine with the idea. While preparing, they took out what they need. I made sure that the ingredients were in order and with the right proportion.


Fish Curry:

Half an onion, 5 garlic cloves

Fermented fish (belacan) paste

Tamarind juice

Curry powder paste (mix with water)

Mixed Halba

I prepared Cendol. Bought a pack of cendol, cooked gula melaka syrup, and poured bought coconut milk. And plain water for drinks. 


That's it for breaking fast on that day. Simple :) 


Happy Saturday ❤️


Awal pagi tu, saya beritau abang lebih elok jika dia sediakan makanan kegemarannya. Dia setuju dan memaklum je. 


Di sebalik itu, si adik pula lebih gemar ayam, jadi bincang dengannya tentang belajar masak ayam kesukaannya, sekurang kurangnya, cekap satu juadah. 


Adik mengiyakan dengan buah fikiran tu. Sementara menyediakan bahan, mereka keluarkan apa yang perlu. Saya pastikan bahan ikut susunan dan cukup sukatan. 


Kari ikan:

2 ketul ikan

Separuh bawang holland dan 5 ulas bawang putih

Belacan

Jus asam jawa

Serbuk kari campur air

Halba campur


Manakala untuk ayam pula:

Madu

Herba Thymes

Pilaf rice (turned out differently)/ fruit juice | Nasi hujan panas tak jadi /air buah

Bahasa dan video pendek di bawah :)

English version and short video below :)

Middle East rice alike was our break the fast dinner | Nasi Timur Tengah, juadah berbuka 

The pilaf rice is ghee rice with drops of colors in so its called Sunny Rainy Rice hehe | Itulah nasi minyak yang ditabur setitik dua perwarna dipanggil nasi hujan panas


It happened that day we craved for briyani type of rice, as lacking of ingredients we attempted to make the famous among us pilaf rice with mixture of colors (existing baking ingredients hehe) 


The fate of the rice that evening turned red, red alert panicking of wonders of taste, how would it be.  


Luckily the taste was still good and the fragrance was appetizing. So we could eat in peace. 


Meanwhile I prepared celery juice mix with orange abit of apple, that was refreshing, if you could see I prepared also all the type of sauces to cook wantan mee for sahur our supper meal. 


So I know the cause of mistake on the color because of tiredness and think of too much to do at the last minutes. Ok next to prep proper one and manage it well hopefully :)) 


Happy Wednesday ❤️


Nak jadikan cerita rasa nak makan nasi minyak ala biryani, disebabkan tiada bahan, Coba masak nasi femes iaitu nasi hujan panas sebab bahan yang ada perwarna buat kek hehe (mood baking kembali) 


Ditakdir nasi yang dimasak petang tu jadi merah menyala, nino nino panik dengan memikirkan apa rasanya. 


Alhamdulilah rezeki rasanya sedap, wanginya pun menyelerakan. Bolela makan dengan tenang. 


Sambil tu saya sediakan air seleri campur buah oren epal sikit, menyegarkan betul. Yang sebenar jika nampak ada juga bahan kicap bagai untuk masak mi wantan buat sahur. 


Jadi dah agakla,  tak jadi ni sebab keletihan fikir, nak buat semua masa yang singkat hujung-hujung waktu berbuka. Lain kali buat awal dan uruskan dengan seelok mungkin, harap-harap la :)) 


Salam Rabu ❤️

Butterfly Pea Shortbread | Biskut Shortbread bunga Telang

Bahasa dan video pendek di bawah :) 

English version and short video below :) 

Been watching video from Pinterest of making Spring cookies. | 

Asyik tonton video dari Pinterest cara buat biskut musim bunga

Attracted on how beautiful the cookies with pressed flowers. | Tertarik dengan kecantikan biskut yang diletak bunga kering


I didn't edit the video well for blog, as it took a lot of photos to shorten it, so I attached with only a teaser video.  


Earlier on, I am fond of the beauty of edible flowers. I fell more for the ones decorated on cookies, they are so pretty. 


I didn't hesitate to pick the blue butterfly peas, washed them, dried them before placing them between the pages of a book. 


When the mood came, I chose the recipe that is using less sugar. 


The recipe called out for somerhing like this:


1 cup of butter

1/2 cup of sugar

2 cups of flour

1 tsp of vanilla

Mix butter and castor sugar til white, add flour and vanilla. Let it chill in fridge for two hours. 


The dough is kinda soft, I should have added flour but I didn't.  The taste is nice buttery, melt in the mouth but not that crunchy and not easy to break. Today, I'm going to finish another batch, and will put higher temp and more time and see the outcome.  


Oh yes, the flowers, I pressed on the cookies right after the cookies came out from oven and coated with sugar. Some I put back in the oven to bake more and yet the flower didn't shrink or become brownish. 


That's it :) 


Happy Thursday❤️


Saya tak edit video elok untuk buat blog sebab ambil masa agak panjang dan keluarkan banyak gambar untuk pendekkan, jadi saya letak video trailer jer. 


Memang seawalnya, saya suka lihat kecantikan bunga musim bunga yang boleh konsum ni, apa tah lagi, terus jatuh hati pula bila ia di atas biskut, lawa sangat.


Saya tak teragak agak untuk petik bunga telang yang biru, basuh, keringkan sebelum letak di atas kertas minyak di antara muka surat buku. 


Bila mood mai ja, saya pilih resepi biskut yang kurang gula. 


Resepinya lebih kurang macam ni saja:


1 cawan mentega

1/2 cawan gula kastor

2 cawan tepung

1 tsp vanilla

Campur mentega dan gula, krimkan hingga hampir putih. Tambah vanilla dan tepung. Perapkan dalam peti sejuk selama 2 jam. 


Adunan agak bermentega dan lembut. Patutnya saya perlu tambah tepung tapi tak tambah pun. Rasa sedap cair dalam mulut tapi tak rangup dan tak mudah pecah,.  Hari ni nak abiskan sebahagian lagi, mungkin tambah suhu dan masa lebih.


Oh ya, bunga, saya tekan di biskut sebaik biskut dikeluarkan dari oven, dan tabur sikit gula atas bunga. Ada yang saya masukkan balik dalam oven, bunganya tak kecut atau bertukar warna. Alhamdulillah. 


Itu jer. 


Salam Khamis ❤️

Pecal (Boiled vege) with peanut sauce | Pecal dengan Kuah Kacang

Bahasa dan video pendek di bawah :)

English version and short video below :)

Find it refreshing having original form of vege, just boiled and ready to eat. | Rasa menyegarkan menjamu selera dengan sayur yang direbus sahaja. 

Off course it's good served with sauce which is made of peanut and chilli. | Semestinyalah sedap disaluti dengan sos yang diperbuat dari kacang dan cili


I know that I've already posted the GadoGado dish before, it's the same thing but its called pecal. I've made the same dish and posted online again as it is not my staple food. From my previous post of last year, I had it only once. 


I would changed the eggs to other protein instead. The vege are fillings like rice. I think its a good idea to name a restaurant under the name GadoGado vegetables or pecal with various protein and sauces for the menu, interesting right? 


I loved the color fibres and wanted to add zucchini or aubergine.  Sauce can be diverse to shrimp paste, caramelized soy sauce or thick curry mmm.... drooling.. Hehe. 


So I figured this is my first time for this year I ate peanut sauce salad that is in video or photo  with beautified coffee art that had to be adjusted, as it didn't turn up well. 


Thats it,  Happy Monday ❤️


Tahulah dah pernah post Gado Gado sebelum ni, pecal ni lebih kurang sama.  Saja nak siarkan lagi walaupun ia belum capai makanan ruji. Memang nak makan selalu. Tahun lepas makan sekali je. 


Nanti nak tukar telur ke protin lain pula. Sayuran ni boleh mengenyangkan seakan nasi. Bolehla buka restoran nama GadoGado dengan bermacam kuah, menarikkan?


Suka warnanya dan nak tambah zucchini atau terung. Sos diperbagaikan kepada sos udang kering, kicap manis karamel ataupun kuah kari pekat ke mmm tertelan airliur aih... Hehe


Kiranya ni pertama kalilah dalam tahun ni, makan kuah kacang dengan sayuran  di gambar atas  bersama kopi berseni yang tak berapa jadi, terpaksa la tokok tambah hiasan. 


Itu ajer. Salam Isnin ❤️

Nyonya Biscuits with Welcome Teas, Mee Rebus, Nasi Lemak Royal Kedah, Complimentary Coffee at Malacca |Biskut Nyona dengan Teh sambut tetamu, Mee Rebus, Nasi Lemak Royale Kedah, Kopi Komplimentari

Bahasa dan video pendek di bawah :)

English version and short video below:)

After we had Boost Juice, we went to Publika etc. the next day off to Malacca. 

| Setelah menikmati Boost Juice kami pergi Publika dll. Keesokkan hari baru pergi ke Melaka. 

Since I compiled the later photos of food, would U-turn after this hehe | Dah kumpul gambar makanan yang terawal sikit nanti belok U balik hehe


Arrived safely at Malacca the historical city, we went straight to find a hotel. The road structure in Malacca city mostly are one way; So, we drove from a circles before finally found the hotel. 


At the lobby we had Welcome Tea with Nyonya Biscuits but I used to call it 'biskut timbang'. Immediately I poured the tea from the majestic looking pot to the beautiful China cups, adik enjoyed opening the packets of different type of biscuits which were :

Pineapple Tart Biscuits

Colored Sugar Cookies


As for dinner, we planned to go out but dad wanted to eat Mee Rebus;  mee with beef gravy.  So, we ordered via Grab and ate at the library as a hotel has few designated rooms. By the way the restaurant opens at 7pm but we (my dad) couldn't wait. Stopped at the library ala reading room.


The next morning, I ordered Nasi Royale Kedah, coz the hotel didn't have room service, they only do delivery of food to room from the reception where the Grab dropped in. 


While waiting for the food I fixed myself the complimentary coffee with the coffee machine. So let all the tummies of the troop full, then only made our moved out and about. Where to? Brb To be continue.. :) 


Happy Thursday ❤️


Sampai di Melaka, bandaraya bersejarah, kami terus cari hotel. Struktur jalanraya di bandar ni kebanyakkannya sehala, buat laluan bulat pusing pusing barulah terjumpa hotel. 


Di lobby kami disambut dengan Teh dan biskut Nyonya, saya panggil biskut timbang, nostalgik. Terus tuang teh dari teko majestik ke cawan China comel. Adik suka buka  paket biskut, adala beberapa diantaranya ialah:


Biskut jem nenas

Biskut gula warna-warni


Untuk makan malam, kami rancang nak keluar, tapi bapa tak menyempat nak makan Mee Rebus. Saya pesan melalui Grab dan makan mee rebus di bilik bacaan. Hotel seakan mansion tu mempunyai berbagai bilik khas. Sebelum tu, restoran di hotel buka pukul 7 malam, tak dapatla menunggu. Makan je kat bilik ala perpustakaan. 


Bila pagi menjelang, saya pesan Nasi Lemak Royale Kedah  sebab hotel bagaikan rumah agam "mansion" tiada "room service". Cuma ada penghantaran ke bilik dari kaunter penyambut tetamu dimana Grab letak makanan di situ. 


Sementara menunggu makanan dihantar saya bancuh kopi complimentary dengan mesin kopi. Biar perut-perut angkatan  kenyang. Baru boleh keluar jenjalan. Ke mana ya? Tungguuu... Bersambung.. :) 


Salam Khamis ❤️
