American Breakfast at Element by Westin | Sarapan orang Amerika di Element oleh Westin

Bahasa dan video pendek di bawah :)

English version and short video below :)

While uncle was around and it was still school holiday, we proceeded with ad-hoc leisure. 

| Sementara Uncle ada di sini dan cuti sekolah, teruskan ja dengan makan angin santai tanpa rancang

First tried on something interesting by going to Subang Airport SZB to test our luck there for tickets to Langkawi Island. |

Cuba dulu yang lebih menarik, ke Subang Airport SZB, kut-kut ada rezeki ke Pulau Langkawi. 

Luckier I guessed, when we proceeded with a road trip to Kuala Lumpur instead, stopped at Intercontinental Hotel, where that night was full house, before walked out and checked in at Element by Westin nearby. 

We bought dinner from outside and had it in the room. Enjoyed the stunning night view and also the bright fabulous day skyscraper view from the 4Oth floor. 

The breakfast was luxurious though they only offered two types of menu e.g. Asian and American breakfast so we had both, kinda shared them among us. 

The American meals we had were:

Toasts

Sausages

Omelette

Hashbrown

Fruits platter

Juice

Coffee and Tea

Whilst the Asian meals were:

Coconut rice with boiled egg anchovies, cucumber, shrimp

Curry puffs

Plenty of fruits

Juice

Coffee tea

Grateful for full tummy and proceeded to pick up Uncle after that. 

Happy Wednesday ❤️

Rezeki lebih baik rasanya, bila teruskan kembara dgn kereta ke KL. Berhenti di Hotel Intercontinental, di mana malam tu semua bilik penuh. Keluar dari situ dan daftar masuk ke Element di bawah rangkaian  Westin Group. 

Beli makanan malam dari luar dan nikmati di dalam bilik. Jamu mata permandangan pada malam yang menakjubkan dan keesokan harinya kelihatan ceria cerah bandar berpencakar langit dari tingkat 40.

Hidangan sarapanya sangat mewah walaupun yang ditawarkan cuma dua jenis iaitu makanan Asia dan Amerika, jadi kami pesan dua-dua dan kongsi di antara kami. 

Hidangan Amerikanya adalah:

Roti bakar

Sosej

Telur hancur

Ubi goreng

Potongan buah

Jus

Kopi dan Teh

Manakala hidangan Asianya pula seperti di bawah:

Nasi Lemak, telur rebus, kacang sambal, ikan bilis goreng, udang

Karipap

Potongan buah

Jus

Kopi dan Teh

Alhamdulillah kenyang perut dan terus gerak menjemput Uncle. 

Salam Rabu ❤️

Orange, Cucumber Juice Art with snack Tortilla | Jus cantik Oren, Timun bersama snek Tortilla

Bahasa dan video pendek di bawah :) 

English version and short video below :) 

Since I tried coffee art, I then figured how to make decorative juice as well. | 

Sejak memandai buat seni kopi cantik, cuba untuk mencantikkan jus juga. 

Juice is my cup of tea, but not really the whip cream all hehe.. I tried to cut down on sweets actually...try only. |

 Jus kena dengan gaya hidup dan citarasa, bukan la krim whip hehe...masih cuba nak nyah gula, cuba jer.

I tried to prepare a meal for four; I also tried to film a video for four to censor the side that were an eyesore. It's just a human thing, I want to do but half heartedly because of shyness, It's not so easy to be open wide, and I tend forgetting the original concept of blogging. 

I shredded the leftover chicken as filling for the tortilla, and added mixed coconut medjool dates in the plate. As for juice, I cut small pieces so that they can fit in the juicer for making the drink

Then, I cut strawberries into two. Coated them slightly with icing sugar. Then I poured the juice and placed the strawberry on top, the strawberries somehow defying gravity, and stayed there for quite long time. Beautiful juice to drink:)) 

Happy Tuesday ❤️

Saya sediakan hidangan untuk empat orang. Cuba filem untuk empat makan minum dengan mengelak tepian yang menyemak mata. Biasala jasad berjiwa ni, nak buat tapi segan buka hati tak ingatkan niat dan konsep asal berblog. 

Saya carikkan ayam semalam jadi isi tortilla tu, letak campuran kurma medjool dengan kelapa parut kedalam pinggan. Untuk jus pula, saya potong bahan kecil-kecil, senang masuk dalam mesin jus. 

Akhirnya, saya potong sebiji dua strawberi. Salutkan dengan gula icing dan letak keatas jus, dengan izinNya ia melawan graviti, lama juga terapung. Cantik untuk diminum :) 

Salam Selasa ❤️

Butterfly Pea Drink, Tumeric Drink, Toast & Macaroni Soup | Minuman Bunga Telang, Air Kunyit, Roti Bakar & Sup Makaroni

Bahasa dan video pendek di bawah :)

English version and short video below :)

It has been a long time that I haven't drink any herbal drink; So, I made them for sipping

 | Dah lama tak minum minuman herba; Jadi buat untuk menghirup. 

Having herbal drinks and seeing adik making her toasts. | 

Sarapan air herba sambil menyaksikan adik menyiapkan roti bakarnya.

I felt healthy somehow when sipping herbs drinks. The tumeric made my body felt light and cleanse inside out.

Tumeric drink can be consumed two or three times a week as it warmed up body and I can sweat easily. I normally got them raw online or at the nearby supermarket. 

As for butterfly pea on the other hand, cooled and calmed me down. We have grown the plant at home and it easily grew into a thick creeping bush especially during the rainy season. 

The benefits of these two drinks could be found when looking in Google Search; One of them are their antiseptic properties. Another well known benefits of them are the strong antioxidant in which could be use to fight cancerous cells.

Anyway, my personal reasons for drinking them was for detoxify and also have already grown fond of sipping them right after I had my breakfast. 

In the video, i inserted the part of  adik prepared her own breakie and bit of macaroni soup for breakfast of mind as it is easy to heat up. 

Happy Sunday ❤️

Bila menghirup minuman herba ni buat saya rasa sihat, InshaAllah. Bahan kunyit buat badan rasa ringan dan bersih luar dan dalam.

Minuman kunyit ini boleh diminum dua hingga tiga kali seminggu dan ia memanaskan badan serta membuatkan diri berpeluh dengan mudah. Selalunya saya dapatkannya mentah dalam talian, atau membelinya terus dari pasaraya yang berdekatan. 

Manakala, bunga biru telang pula bersifat menyejukkan badan dan menenangkan minda. Saya menanam pokok telang ni di kawasan rumah dan ia amat mudah hidup dan berbunga lebat, lebih lebih lagi dalam musim hujan. 

Banyak kelebihan minuman ni yang boleh didapati melalui carian Google Search: Salah satunya ialah sifat antiseptiknya. Satu lagi ialah sifat antioksidannya yang kuat dan boleh menentang sel sel kanser. 

Walaubagaimanapun, bagi saya secara peribadi ialah sebagai minuman yang mennyahtoksik. Dan juga saya dah terbiasa dengan menhirup minuman ini bila selesai saja bersarapan. 

Dalam video, saja selit bahagian adik menyediakan sarapannya dan sedikit bab sarapan sendiri sup makaroni yang senang dipanaskan di pagi hari. 

Salam hari Ahad ❤️

Mixed Vege Fritters | Cucur Sayur Campur

Bahasa dan Video pendek di bawah :)

English and short video below :)

Bought mixed vege and kept it for the rainy day | Beli sayur campur dan simpan untuk hari yang tiada sayur segar

Also thought it would more appetizing in fried rice | Juga rasa ia akan menyelerakan dalam nasi goreng

Yes the frozen mixed vege has been a long time in fridge, rarely I made fried rice as one of the household doesn't take fried rice, other do but opt out the vege. 

Since I tried to have breakfast with vege or something simple. I make vege fritters. Actually, I had onion fritters, prawn friitters or banana fritters not vege only fritters. 

First time making it and first time baking them in the oven. They were good and crisp. I ate some and kept in the freezer for another hungry day. 

There will be the time I prepared frozen ones and set for breakfast  to be up here again.  

Happy Friday ❤️

Dah lama sayur campur beku ini berada dalam peti ais, jarang saya goreng nasi sebab seorang penghuni rumah tak suka nasi goreng dan seorang lagi pula makan tetapi tanpa sayur didalamnya. 

Sejak cuba makan sayur dan makanan ringkas di hening hari. Saya buat cucur sayur campur. Sebenarnya yang pernah makan ialah Cucur bawang, Cucur udang atau cucur kodok, belum pernah lagi cucur sayur ni. 

Pertama kali saya membuatnya dan terulung kali juga dibakar dalam oven. Sedap dan rangup. Makan beberapa biji dan simpan dalam peti ais buat simpanan masa lapar lagi hehe. 

Akan ada hari saya sediakan cucur sayur beku ni dan hidang serta bersiaran di sini lagi. 

Salam Jumaat ❤️

Rice quail eggs with chilli paste | Nasi dan sambal telur burung puyuh

Bahasa dan video pendek di bawah :)

English version and short video below :)

Planning was tight of that day, decided to eat lil heavier for breakfast | Rancangan padat untuk hari tu, terus nak makan lebih berat untuk sarapan

Actually eggs with broccolli added rice | Sebenarnya telur burung puyuh bersama brokoli tambah nasi

Told the kids that I'm going to film moments and noted down what I did and have done while they are at school or studying and vice versa; They did the same after came home or finished school. 

I took photos of the breakfast meal, with video of squirrel visiting at the window before we took off to KL City. 

In KL, the task is to clear the unit and to fill up the fridge with food supplies, for their uncle to stay for quarrantine, upon arrival from California. 

Took view of the buildings, I wondered why I like all that. Squirrels, photos of breakfasts but not lunch. Funny but true hehe..

Happy Tuesday ❤️

Bagitau abang adik yang saya rakam suasana dan tulis sikit apa yang telah berlaku dan lakukan semasa mereka di sekolah atau sedang belajar dan disebalik tu, mereka juga buat yang sama bila habis sekolah atau berlajar.

Saya ambil gambar sarapan, video tupai singgah makan di tingkap sebelum bertolak ke KL.

Di KL, kami kemas unit dan stok makanan dalam peti ais, untuk Uncle mereka yang akan menginap di sini apabila beliau sampai dari California untuk kuarantin.

Ambil permandangan bangunan, hairan juga kenapa saya suka sangat semua tu. Tupai, dan gambar sarapan tetapi bukan gambar makan tengahari. Pelik tapi benar hehe..

Salam Selasa ❤️

DiY Coffee Art | Kopi Cantik DIY

Bahasa dan video pendek di bawah:)

English version and  short video below:)

Since we are in charge of  thinking about cafe idea at the madrasah, I tried to toy around with coffee art stencil |

Dah diberi tugasan untuk memikirkan tentang cafe di madrasah, saya cuba buat seni kopi guna stensil

I initially thought of just adding marshmallows on both hot and cold coffee | Mulanya, saya ingat cuma nak letak marshmallow kedalam kopi panas dan sejuk. 

I tried to heat up milk, and pulled and poured to foam it but the milk bubbles and the art shape didn't last long. 

I then sprinkled the cocoa powder on the floating marshmallows, but it didn't turn up the way I expected as well. 

Last but not least, I sprayed whipped cream on to the coffee and let it settle. Then, I sprinkled the cocoa powder and Voila... ! What amazing result.. like I am at the hipster cafe already lol. So grateful.  

Stuff needed:

- A cup of coffee 

- Whipped Cream

- A plastic or paper cut stencil with coffee art design (I got a set online from Shopee) 

- Cocoa powder

That's it. My heartfelt prayers for peace abroad and may God protect all humankind safe from war and any natural disaster all around the world. 

Happy and safe Saturday ❤️

Saya dah cuba panaskan susu dan tarik macam teh tarik untuk mendapatkan buih, tapi bentuk corak atas kopi tu tak boleh bertahan lama. 

Kemudian, saya cuba tabur serbuk koko atas marshmallow, pun tak jadi elok.

Akhir sekali, saya 'spray' krim putar atas kopi dan biar ia 'settle' dulu. Kemudian baru saya tabur serbuk koko,  Wow! Hasil yang mnenakjubkan, rasa ala ala berada di cafe hipster pulak hehe. Alhamdulillah... 

Keperluan:

- Kopi secawan

- Krim putar (dalam spray can) 

- Stensil plastik bercorak atau kertas dipotong corak kopi (coffee art card stencil) 

- Serbuk koko

Itu saja. Hati kecil mendoakan keamanan diluar sana, juga perlindungan serta keselamatan didunia untuk keseluruhan manusia sejagat dari perang dan bencana alam. 

Salam Sabtu dan moga selamat semuanya. ❤️

Sorry that I didn't bring my kids to any wedding for time being. | Dukacita juga tak bawa anak-anak ke mana-mana majlis perkahwinan sementara ni.

The meals were grand, the taste that I have been waiting for, it doesn't matter if it rice or others, I knew it's something delicious course set and been served.

DIY Apple Pie & Pizza

Bahasa dan video seminit di bawah :)

English and a minute video below :)

While parents visiting, I wanted to serve them something different. | Semasa ibubapa datang, nak juga jamu mereka yang lain skit.

Strive enuf to make it apple fillings from scratch. | Tungkus lumus juga buat isi epal dari mula

My parents came, sat for awhile, and later wanted to make a move back. So I kept the apple jam in the jar. For 2 apples, sugar plus cinnamon equals to 1 jar.

As the morning rose, I rolled the the bread slices and cut patterns with cookie cutter and filled with apple jam, baked them in the oven. Where I got all the ideas from? Youtubers :) 

The bread with apple fillings were not filling enough, so I laid the tortilla sheet and sprinkled the  premium ingredients at my standard, baked for 10 mins and ate them as second round breakkie. 

And I'm also glad to see a squirrel came and had the food that I put in the container which is hanged at the window outside. 

Happy Saturday ❤️

Parents datang, duduk dan nak gerak balik. Jadi saya simpan epal dalam jar. 2 biji epal, gula tambah serbuk kayu manis jadi 1 balang. 

Bila pagi menjelang, saya canaikan roti, corakkan dengan acuan biskut, bakar dalam ketuhar. Dapat mana la pulak idea macam ni? Warga-warga youtuber :) 

Roti berisi jam epal tidak dapat mengisi perut sepenuhnya. Jadi hampar kepingan wraps, tabur potongan premium piza "standard" saya, dan bakar dalam ketuhar, makan sarapan buat kali kedua Alhamdulillah. 

Dan seronok pula nampak tupai makan makanan yang diletakkan di dalam bekas yang digantung di luar tingkap tu. 

Salam Sabtu ❤️

Rice and Fish curry with Fried Chicken by the lake | Nasi dan ikan kari bersama ayam goreng tepi tasik

Bahasa dan video seminit di bawah :)

English version and one minute video below :)

Having rice at the jogging track near a lake | Makan nasi di larian jogging dekat dengan tasik

No joggers but food scooters deliver passed by looked so lively | Tiada orang jogging tetapi ada penghantar makanan dengan skuter menghidupkan suasana

At one point, we need to connect to nature. I planned going to the botanical garden at Shah Alam, but dad called wanted to come over to our house. So we detoured at the nearby lake to have lunch.

We got to finish the mission and unwinded by sketching a bit. As long as we got fresh air and took a break from screen time, I felt the mission is accomplished. 

Somehow I loved video editing and inserted again the singing with video eating rice and fish curry for abang and fried chicken with rice for adik. We bought them from the Original Kayu Nasi Kandar :)

Happy Monday ❤️

Sampai pada satu masa, kami perlu juga menikmati alam. Saya rancang ke taman botani Shah Alam tapi dapat panggilan bapa nak datang ke rumah. Jadi kami pun pusing ke tasik berdekatan.

Nak juga selesaikan misi dan ambil angin dengan lukis-lukis sikit. Syukur bila dah dapat udara segar dan merehatkan mata dari asyik melihat skrin, rasa dah berjaya kecapi misi.

Rasa seronok pula edit video klip, masukkan nyanyian abang dengan video tengah makan. Nasi dan kari ikan untuk abang dan nasi ayam goreng untuk adik. Beli dekat Original Kayu Nasi Kandar :)

Salam Isnin ❤️

Coconut Milk Rice with anchovies and Kids updates | Nasi Lemak Biasa dan hal anak

Bahasa dan video seminit di bawah :)

English version and a minute video below :)

Walked to the business centre for groceries but had dinner there instead. |

Jalan ke pusat beli belah nak beli barang dapur tapi duduk makan malam pula

Previous years, son abang was busy practicing singing and playing the piano for exam, concert and wedding performance. 

| Tahun lepas-lepas ni si abang sibuk berlatih menyanyi dan bermain piano untuk perperiksaan, konsert dan persembahan di majlis perkahwinan. 

Since it is holiday now, we craved for holiday yet supress the intention due to many circumstances. Leisurely, we went outside for a walk with a purpose to buy groceries. 

Brought our shopping bags but arrived there adik asked for cold drink, I felt the same, moreover with outing environment we felt like to unwind. 

As to buy anything, we must line up and scan, so might as well we went to a one stop cafe where everyone can sit, drink and eat. 

So I filmed more of kids, abang adik and inserted the old video of them practicing (sponsored by loved ones) and also having nasi lemak ala video clip hehe..  

Happy Friday ❤️

Masih dalam cuti ni, rasa mengidam nak bercuti di pusat peranginan tapi pantang dulu atas beberapa sebab. Santai-santai keluar menapak bertujuan membeli barang dapur. 

Bawala beg, pabila sampai, adik minta air sejuk, saya sendiri pun dahaga tambahan rindukan suasana lepak. 

Apapun nak membeli mesti beratur untuk imbasan, rasa lebih baik masuk restoran duduk, minum dan makan sekali harung. 

Jadinya saya ambil video abang adik dan selitkan video zaman latihanya (kami berterima kasih kepada insan-insan tersayang yang menaja pembelajaran sampingan baik musik dan ngaji, Alhamdulillah) dan makan nasi lemak buat ala video klip cuma dipendekkan di sini.. Hehe.. 

Salam Jumaat ❤️

Roti canai (Flat bread) etc for breakfast | Sarapan Roti Canai etc

Bahasa dan video seminit di bawah :)

English Version and a minute video below :)

Roti canai of  last night reheated. |

Roti canai semalam dipanaskan

Add on tortilla | Tambah wraps tortilla 

Since it's the end of the month, I had made a point not to do any grocery until the new month. So, I prepared some items based for breakfast that can kept in the fridge for a few days. 

So, that's why abang also asked for milk as we had yet ready to stock up til' the month of Feb. All must adjust the quantity (rationing) for budgeting purpose. 

Though the food were kind of same but we made it different and had it outside on 29.1.2022. Life goes on. 

Happy Wednesday ❤️

Bila melalui hujung bulan, rencana asal tak nak beli barang dapur hingga tiba bulan baru. Jadi saya sediakan barang asas untuk sarapan yang boleh disimpan di dalam peti sejuk untuk beberapa hari. 

 

Jadi terdengarlah juga si abang bertanya tentang susu dan kami tak akan tambah stock hingga bulan Februari. Semua terpaksalah ubah kuantiti (catuan) dan ber"budget". 

Walaupun makan seakan sama, saja buat tempat menikmati berlainan bila di pada sabtu lepas. luar. Hidup mesti diteruskan. 

Salam Rabu ❤️

Waffles with whipped cream and Overnght oats with choc chip cookies and macaron

Bahasa dan video seminit di bawah :)

English version and a minute video below :)

At dawn of previous day, prepared overnight oats | Senja sebelumnya buat oats semalaman

Waffles were made 10 pieces a   few days before |  beberapa hari lepas buat waffle 10 biji

Initially planned to reheat the overnight oats for supper, as I doubted that my tummy would tolerate chilled meal in the cold early morning. 

Since I woke up a bit late and wanted to take photos of the quiet morning, so just took risk by eating it cold. And I also added waffle to release the feel of desserts eating later on..lol. 

It was a good choice of having oats and waffles as I ended up feeling full and energized through out the fasting day. 

By the way, for the overnight oats, I never realised that we were short of dried fruits, so I added choc chips cookies and macaron as topping instead, it was tasty amazingly. 

Happy Friday ❤️

Rancangnya nak panaskan oats untuk sahur, rasa was was pula samada perut ni boleh terima ke tidak makanan yang sejuk gedi sebelum waktu subuh.

Dahla bangun lewat sikit, nak juga ambil foto waktu sahur yang sunyi dan nyaman, terpaksa la bertawakkal makan oats tu sejuk-sejuk. Sekali harung  tambah waffle, melepas selera pencuci mulut kut-kut terasa lol. 

Alhamdulillah pilihan terbaik menjamah oats dan waffle, kerana terasa kenyang dan bertenaga sepanjang hari berpuasa. 

Nak jadi cerita, oat semalaman tu, tak sangka stok buah kering elek (tamil - habis), saya campur cookies chip coklat dengan macaron sebagai toppingnya, memang sedap. 

Salam Jumaat ❤️

Baked beans and Fried potatoes | kacang panggang dari Ayam Brand dan ubi goreng

Bahasa dan video seminit di bawah :)

English version and a minute below :) 

Thought of doing laundry Saturday morning and having baked beans. 

| Nak membasuh pagi sabtu dan rasa nak makan kacang panggang

Looked for sausage but found Chicken patty. | 

Mencari sosej tapi nampak burger daging ayam

Tried to figure out, how my routine would be if I make some changes a bit?

Should I buy things to fix like a dryer? As I've been doing at people's house i.e. drying clothes for my parents, it was so easy to wash and dry. While it took time even with the issues of global warming in this tropical sunny country, it did settle in a short time; Yet, you still need to wait. 

Let our mentality leads to use on what we have first, and not to involve with additional cost second. God blessed..I still settled freely with the abundant free solar :) 

OK, I had chicken patty and baked beans, potatoes with salad for that lazy (or productive?) Saturday morning hehe.. (only two tasks for the 1/4 morning time) 

Happy Monday 💗

Tengah kira-kira bagaimanalah akibatnya  jika saya buat perubahan sedikit dalam hidup ini. 

Patutkan saya beli barang tertentu macam mesin pengering? Sebabnya, terbawa rasa senang ja nak membasuh dan mengeringkan pakaian emakbapa  di rumah orang. Ambil masa dan mesin tu memanaskan suasana di dalam negara yang sudah sedia panas tapi selesai sekejap ja, walaupun mestilah menunggu.  

Biarlah pemikiran ini mengarah kepada menggunakan dulu dengan apa yang ada, dan tidak membabitkan lebih wang ringgit ni. SubhanAllah! Terselesai juga dan percuma ja, dengan kuasa yang melimpah ruah dari solar mentari :) 

OK, saya menjamah daging ayam burger Ramly dengan kacang panggang, ubi goreng bersama salad di hari santai (atau produktif?) sabtu pagi hehe.. (baru 2 tugasan kan untuk 1/4 pagi) 

Salam Isnin 💗
