Iftar Menu - Bubur Berlauk

Ramadhan really test your creativity. What to cook, how to present it and how to make it interesting for the cuties, Otherwise, masak bagai nak rak and no one wants to eat it.

One of the menus that we tried out was Bubur Berlauk, inspired by the one we had at Kg Bharu.

And the lauk we did were scrambled eggs, kangkung goreng belacan, ayam masak kunyit, hati masak cili and ikan bilis goreng.

The bubur is just plain bubur. Marvelous!!!

Minum pulak air tebu, mengancam!!!!

About 14 more menus to think off. Apa lagik nak masak nie....

Getting thinner looks like an impossible task

When you have this for lunch....

Instead of this.....

Lagi mau tanyer kenapa tak kurus kan...Duh!!!!

Carrefour Subang - The place when Mama lazy to cook lunch

Last Sunday, after going for the official opening of the new medical center, we headed for lunch. It's been quite sometime since we ronda2 Subang Jaya area so we thought to visit the areas which we have frequented when we were staying around the neighbourhood.

We then dropped by at Carrefour Subang Jaya to have our lunch there. We used to frequent this place on Sundays after we do our groceries shopping. The cuties love the sizzling noodles there.

My better half was in the mood for wantan mee.

And for me, was really starving....so had Nasi Goreng Paprik with Telur Dadar and Nescafe Tarik.

Honestly, we love Subang Jaya so much, may be because we spent many years there. But, BSP is the place to be and love it there!!!

What a great breakfast

Last Sunday, again, we had breakfast in our garden. We thought that was a good idea considering it rained the night before and that gave us the assurance the air will be cleaner in the morning.

The difference from the last session was this time around to tapau food. The kitchen was open early that morning and I cooke fried meehoon, with sambal tumis ikan bilis and fried eggs. Of course, how can we leave the Nescafe Tarik from the menu.

The cuties enjoyed the breakfast, they finished the whole bowl of the mee hoon.

While baby, still a bit feverish and had to take the medication after the meal.

I was doing some self reflection over the weekend and thinking about the direction of my life. That's when questions like what do I really want in life pop up.....Time to re-allign and re-adjust the aspiration and be reminded....my priority will and should always be my family, the cuties, as they are my investments for the life after death.......

Best Breakfast Session

I think too bad the cuties have a crazy mother who likes to do things when she feels like it. Doesn't really matter whether it's a common thing to do or it's out of extra ordinary.

Like last Sunday, the morning weather was very nice, so I suggested (strongly suggested that no one else have a say) for us to have breakfast outside. Since I have declared the kitchen was close that day, we just tapau Nasi Lemak.

Of course, a must to have Nescafe Tarik.

Apparently the cuties love it. They felt this was better than having meals at the dining hall.

We stayed for a while and read the morning paper. Then, off to a wedding.........

Kita minum dulu

Tunggu criter BBQ yer....

Sabaq no....

Kentucky Fried Chicken - My saviour!

One thing about malay culture, they felt they should not inform when they want to drop by friends or relatives houses as they don't want to inconvenient them to prepare food or snacks for the guest. Truth to be told ; as the host, I don't really like surprise visits. I would prefer to be given at least a day notice so that I can make sure the house is clean and I have food to serve the guest. I feel real bad if guests start coming to my house with nothing to eat and house is a mess.

That's what happened last Friday. My brother who lives in Melaka and now working in Kuantan pending his transfer approval back to Melaka wanted to drop by my house before making the journey to my parents house. I got to know about this at 4pm when he text me while I was in a meeting. Akak apa lagi, ribut huru hara and stepped out from office to get some snacks at Cold Storage. Since I only had one hour lunch break compared to 2.5 entitled hours, to go down for 15 minutes, made the guilt go away.

And on the way back, dropped by KFC drive throught at Sungei Besi to buy the family combo enough to cater for the crowd.

My brother has four kids though he got married much later than I did. His eldest daughter is the same age as my youngest aka my baby.

It was really a fun feast despite the last minute arrangement. Food was enough to feed everyone and the kids were happy.

Moral of the story - if you want to drop by your friends or relatives, bagi ler notice. Kesian kat tuan rumah, ribut nak prepare segala bagai. And look at the positive, Insyaallah, you will get better food..........

Chicken Rice Shop - Family Lunch

Since we are already in Kelana Jaya for the cuties fun time, we thought it will be a good idea to take my parents out for lunch. I was cracking my head thinking where should I take my dad. Susah nak carik tempat to bring orang yg pandai masak nie. Letih!

So, we ended up chosing the Chicken Rice Shop in Giant Mall(kalau org KJ, they will say Giant Besar or Giant Baru). Good choice I guess considering the weather outside was hot and to be in an air conditioned place is priceless.

We ordered the family set for 6-8 people. But, looked like for 10 people at least to me. The dishes is so much with wide variety. The one on the table was just quarter of it. Tak sempat nak ambik gambo the full dish, lapo sangat.

My parents were very happy to have this lunch session with the cuties. I know they misses the cuties so much especially after the cuties are not their care anymore. Yelah, dulu hari2 jumper, now once a week jer.......

The night @ Pasar Malam BSP

Where we live, the pasar malam happened twice a week, i.e. every Tuesday and Saturday nite. We would usually bring the cuties for the Saturday nite pasar malam since we don't usually take them out during school night.

This pasar malam is very interesting and you can get almost everything here. We cook twice everyday for dinner and lunch(when the cuties come back from school) hence the need to top us stuff in the fridge is very important.

The usual purchase ; fishes dan sewaktu dengannyer and chicken. Cheaper and fresher than buying this at hypermarket.

We sometimes have dinner there. My princess loves the yong tau foo while my better half would always go for the mee hoon soup ala bakso. As for the 2 smaller ones, their appetite differs, sometimes burger, fried chicken or even pizza. We usually have this there, right at the stall. Ambiance is very Malaysian.

Pasar Malam has always been a Malaysian thing ever since I can remember. Been wanting to try the Pasar Malam in BBB. Readers there, comment ler the suasan of pasar malam there.

Care for some Marrybrown

I don't know whether you have heard of this place called Marrybrown. It's famous if you are from the southern part of Malaysia. I encountered this place, if I am not mistaken when I was in Form 4 studying in MRSMJ. This place was the in thing similar to Chicken Delite.

This place still popular in some part of Malaysia. One of the place is Batu Pahat. There's one branch located in Yong Peng, about 20 minutes drive from my better half's kampung. The choices of food are more extensive compared to other fast food outlets.

One thing special about this place is the kind of seats they have. It's like a swing, something I don't think you will get to see in any other food outlets. The cuties love this but I prefer a more stabil chair. Swinging while eating is not my cup of tea.

Try this place should you get the chance to. But, manage your expectations please...the food may not be as great as other popular fast food outlet but ok lah, not too bad.

Cempedak Goreng - The hottest snack in town

Still promoting this since I have little bit more items left...So, click here ya!

Moving on........

I'm sure you have encountered stalls by the roadside selling cempedak either the real buah cempedak or the goreng version. The smell of this fruit is just too tempting and too hard to resist.

And we are some of those people who just can't resist so we bought the raw one for us to fry at home. Baru ler puas...

And makan lak with none other than the Nescafe tarik....tak boleh stop babe!!!

But, now I noticed, I can't really eat much since after eating this, badan rasa angin satu macam...

And I know, this is part of the ageing process...Makcik dah tua nak!!!

Wedding we went...

Despite the craziness and the hecticness life has been, we still got the chance to go to a wedding of my workmate. The location was in Mantin, not so far from BSP.

It was on Saturday, hence have to wait for my better half to come back from work before we can make our way to the venue. By the time we arrived, it was nearly 2pm and since I did not cook lunch, all of us were starving!

Saw some of familiar faces there, but, since I was so hungry and so were the cuties, we went straight to the buffet spread. My better half was not feeling so well, macam feverish skit so was not really into eating.

The bride, Alia, looking so beautiful and glowing.

We were supposed to attend another wedding the night after but my better half was really not up to it, he was really down with fever. Sorry Kamal, will pass your gift later...

Sape lak kawin this weekend....best gak dapat makan nasi kenduri.

Durian Season Is Here Again!!

I think by now, most of you normalies out there already had a durian feast unless you are really not into durian. I guess, our family can be considered as one of the very last family who finally got the chance to eat durian.

My baby wanted durian for the past 2 weeks. Given the hot weather, we felt it may not be suitable and we are also afraid the heat may cause the cuties to fall sick. But, after hearing her asking for this like every day, we gave in and last Sunday we purchased some.

My whole family love durian. I do too but off late, I can't really have much of durian. I can eat the most 5 pieces and then surrender. But the cuties and my better half, it felt like they are having this competition where by who eat the most durian wins! They won't stop till the last drop.

One thing about durian ; I will only eat the durian fruit. Once you improvise into bubur or whatever other dishes, I don't really eat this. But, the rest of my family, asal durian, harus semua dibedal!

p/s : The competition of 10 things about me is about to close, so don't forget to submit your entry!
