Japanese Food at Jalan Nagasari | Makanan Jepun di Jalan Nagasari

Bahasa dan video pendek di bawah :)

English version and short video below :)

Headed to pick up parents|  | Bergerak menjemput ibubapa

Before uncle meet up with his friends, I brought abang adik along | Sebelum Uncle berkumpul dengan kawan-kawan, saya bawa dulu abang adik sekali

Hustled up and down about Uncle's quarantine. To release his wrist band was tricky, he couldn't go in any building coz his 'under quarantine' status. He had to go via government channel, not sure about the arrangement and system. 

While he trying to figure out how to go about doing it, the chip on his wrist would be able to detect all the places he went. 

Ok back meeting up for Sunrise country food, he chose jalan Nagasari,  I'm not quite a food adventurer, but whenever travelling, we searched for kosher or halal based on our local Islamic scholar Hussein Yee, by checking the ingredients.

We had a good time there, a flower guy from outside the eatery stopped to sell roses. We bought one each for Uncle and adik. Wow! This would be the first time adik recieved a rose.

Roses are red Violets are blue...  

Somehow having lunch reminded me of a movie "Holiday in the Wild". She and her friends just women who lunch but have benefits out of it when in aid. 

Happy Thursday ❤️

Renyah dan remeh hal kuarantin Uncle. Nak potong gelangnya ambil masa kerana dia tak boleh masuk mana-mana bangunan (untuk PCR) dengan status kuarantinnya tu. Kena buat melalui kerajaan, tapi tak pastilah peraturan dan sistemnya. 

Sementara dia perlu uruskan, chip dekat pergelangan tangan tu boleh mengesan ke mana saja beliau pergi. 

Ok lah, berbalik ke perjumpaan jejak kasih di restoran negara matahari terbit. Uncle pilih yang terletak di jalan Nagasari, saya tak berapa jenis meneroka bab makan, tapi pilih yang halal dan berasas pesanan Ustaz Hussein Yee, periksa bahan-bahannya.

Kami bersantai berkumpul, seorang jejaka dari luar kedai jual bunga ros, belilah 2 kuntum sekuntum untuk Uncle, lagi satu untuk adik, wah! adik ni pertama kali menerima bunga ros.

Bunga mawar merah...sebuah misteri.. 

Tiba teringat movie Holiday in the wild, dimana wanita-wanita ini (women who lunch) hanya berkumpul untuk makan tengahari, tetap memberi faedah bila didalam kesukaran

Salam Khamis ❤️

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. ❤️

Upside down Apple Cake | Kek Epal Terbalik

Bahasa dan video pendek di bawah :)

English version and short video below :)

Inspired by dear blogger kathyinozarks from Hummingbird Studio at the Lake-My Doings and Creativity Adventures | Dapat inspirasi dari dear blogger kathyinozarks dari Hummingbird Studio at the Lake-My Doings and Creativity Adventures

I searched for an easy  and simple recipe | Saya cari resepi yang mudah dan  ringkas.

When I started eating cake, I always tend to eat more. Oops! It's just one of my myth theory on my craving for sweetness lol. Nevertheless, when I saw fruits on top of a cake that blogger Kathy made, immediately I would thought it's healthy food, my psychology perspective. 

I kinda tweaked the recipe a bit and added one cup of oats. My original tendency was to put only oats but I feared that the cake won't turn up fluffy (It could become a solid cake that we called locally "bengkang". 

Loved how the cake turn up to be, it was delicious and yummy, a slice each day, after I had it, I'm looking forward to another day🤭 

Thank you dear blogger Kathy of 

http://hummingbirdwoodlandstudio.blogspot.com/?m=1  for the inspiration. 

Happy Monday ❤️

Bila dah mula menjamah kek, saya selalunya terlajak makan. Oops! Ini teori mitos saya berkenaan ketagihan makanan manis saya ni lol. Namun begitu, bila nampak buah buahan diatas kek yang blogger Kathy buat, terus ingat macam makanan sihat, kecenderungan psikologi saya. 

Saya mengubah resipi ni sikit dengan menambah secawan oats. Asalnya saya nak ganti terus tepung dengan oats tapi takut pulak kek ni tak naik gebu dan akan jadi macam bengkang.

Gembira lihat kek ni menjadi, dengan rasanya sedap dan lazat. SubhanAllah Hari hari makan sepotong, dan dengan bersemangat menanti hari esok :) 

Sekali lagi terima kasih pada blogger Kathy dari

http://hummingbirdwoodlandstudio.blogspot.com/?m=1  kerana memberi inspirasi. 

Salam Isnin ❤

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. 

Wedding welcoming of dear niece from my mr hubby side | 

Majlis bertandang perkawinan anak sedara yang dikasihi di sebelah encik suami 

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. 

It has been awhile that we did everything, whether ordered or prepared food by myself. Thought of what to cook or what to order, once ready, served and cleared the table.  

At the wedding I just brought myself, be seated and being served. Grateful to God. 

Special meal served:

- Ghee Rice, chicken or beef,  acar (pickled dried fruits and garlics and mixed with sesame seed

- Fruits 

- Desserts

- Hot tea and cold drink

- Box of cookies as table gift 

- Packet of cookies as door gifts

It was an enjoying moment. Thanks dear niece and family for having us around. 

Happy Saturday ❤️

Hidangan pastilah yang meriah, rasa secukup rasa yang dinantikan, tak kiralah set nasi atau set hidangan barat, tentu sedap dan terhidang. 

Dah lama duk buat semua sendiri, diantara pesanan atau menyediakan makanan untuk keluarga. Fikir apa nak dimasak atau nak order, bila dah tersedia, hidang pula seterusnya kemas meja. 

Di majlis begini hanya bawa diri, duduk diam-diam dan dilayan. Syukurnya padaMu.

Hidangan istimewa:

- Nasi minyak, ada ayam atau  daging

- Acar

- Buah-buahan

- Pemanis

- Sekotak cookies buat Buah tangan di meja 

- Sepaket cookies cenderahati di pintu masuk. 

Memang inilah moment yang sangat meriah. Terima kasih anak buah yang dikasihi sekeluarga kerana menjemput kami ke majlis bertandang ini. 

Salam  Sabtu ❤️

Black Forest Cake

Bahasa dan video pendek di bawah :)

English version and short video below :)

Planned to have the birthday party at the roof top in KL since parents stayed there for awhile | Rancang nak buat majlis harijadi 'roof top' di KL sementara parents masih ada di sana

For the sake of everyone's health, we went for plan B | Demi menjaga kesihatan masing-masing, kami teruskan dengan rencana B

We went to the mall instead, felt worse than any other plans, but then remembered that we "must hang to God and our efforts" and" "life must go on" . No choice, must have been there for an hour or more to buy a cake and presents. 

Came back, the birthday girl chose the living room for her event. I had only one person to discuss about party, food with. And, usually it's with adik, who's the birthday girl. For other matter with regards to decor also with her.

Set up a bit, wrap up some gifts which includes 'Youtuber for dummies', Sunflower planting seeds and another book of a different topic. She loved them all. 

And the black forest cake was bought from Komugi, a Japanese chain bakery shop. I also served hot Cadbury drink, and add on marshmallows. Gratefully, we had it ala Hi-Tea with cuppa Cocoa with macaroons and cookies, and the special one was the slice of black forest cake.

Happy Monday ❤️

Gerak ke mall, rasa paling tak selesa di antara rencana lain, tapi terpaksa ikut "hidup mesti diteruskan  dan bertawakkal. Tiada pilihan, sampai sana, luangkan masa sejam dua untuk beli kek dan hadiah. 

Balik ke rumah, birthday girl pilih ruang tamu untuk majlisnya. Saya pun ada seorang ja yang boleh bawa bincang tentang majlis-majlis ni. Biasanya adiklah orangnya kerana dia suka parti. Tentang dekorasi pun bincang dengan adik juga. 

Siap sikit-sikit, balut semua hadiah hadiah yang terdiri dari buku 'Youtuber for dummies', biji benih bunga matahari dan buku cerita topik lain. Adik suka semua. 

Dan kek Black Forest dibeli dari kedai kek Jepun Komugi. Saya bancuh minuman panas Cadbury dan letak marshmallow. Syukur terasa ala Hi Tea dengan secawan air panas bersama manisan macaroon, cookies dan yang teristimewa sekali tu ialah sepotong kek black forest.

Salam Isnin ❤️
