They're coming back !

Ma and pa is coming back tomorrow ! feels like its been ages since i last saw them.40 days felt like a year.i've told you where they went in my previous entry right ? im so excited ! i've been thinking for days on what to make for them to celebrate their homecoming.i just love to cook for my loved ones ! gawd. i sound like a 40 year lod housewife dont i ?

When i get bored at home this will happen

Me: Nurul*my sister* do you feel like eating anything?any desserts you would like to eat?

Nurul:umm..nope

Me:what? are you serious ? how about choc chips ? chocolate cake ?

Nurul:no lah,i dont feel like eating anything

HOW CAN YOU NOT WANT DESSERTS??!!

*the same situation happens with my other family members too.sometimes*

Poor me :'( like perigi cari timba

and yes,i'll end up pushing them to pick one.hehe.wht? *innocent face*

Hopefully i dont end up with fat kids in the future -__-'

Okay,so i've decided to make rempeyek for my dad.He just loves em.My aunt wants us to have dinner at her house so i dont think i should make something heavy.He's not a dessert fan.So no no to desserts.I googled its recipe and i found one at rinnchan fotopages.I love the recipes at her page cause all of them are delicious !So here is how my rempeyek turned out.

It doesnt look that nice but it tastes good ! hehe.*self indulgence mode*Click here if you want the recipe.Oh a tip from my maid,you should add an egg to the mixture,it makes the rempyek more crunchy.I tried it,and what she said was true.

As for my mum,i know she's a big fan of desserts,so i'm thinking of making her favourite,bread and butter pudding with custard sauce.But im still in a dilemma wether i should make it or just buy a welcome back cake.To have both would be too much.Diabetes ppl ! As much as i looove desserts,i still have to control my sugar intake.Hm,maybe i'll ask opinions from others.

Till then.Hugs and kisses from me;

p/s: two entries in day ? that shows how much free time i have.haihh.

WARNING:Nxt week,when my class starts, you'll be hearing me whining about not having time to update my blog.hehe,buckle up !

Dig In

I miss char kuey teow ! with that in mind i went to the market and bought the ingredients.In penang,we can find it anywhere,but thats not the case in Sunway.So for the char kuey teow lovers out there,here's the recipe:

Ingredients that you need: *serves for 1 person*

• 2 pieces of garlic(2 ulas)
• prawn and cockles(kerang)*both depends on how much you want them*
• 2 of tb Dried chilli*blended*
• 1 egg
• kuchai*not sure what is it called in english*
• Sweet Soy sauce
• 1 tb of Oyster sauce
• 1 cup of water
• A pinch of salt
• A fistful of kuey teow

Steps:

1. Put oil into the pan.When the oil is hot enough add garlic
2. When the garlic turns yellowish,add the prawns and cockles
3. When the prawn is cooked,add the dried chilli paste.Stir well until the chilli is well cooked
4. Add water
5. Add soy sauce until the color turns black enough
6. Add oyster sauce
7. Add the egg and immediately stir it
8. Add a pinch of salt
9. Add Kuey Teow
10. Add kuchai
11. Stir well,but dont stir to long cause it will ruin the freshness of kuchai

And its ready to be served!

Lets Discover together

It was my first day chillin at home and i was half-dead-bored.Im just used to day full of activites.I wanted to bake,tht's what i usually do when im bored at home.But bcoz im on diet,i had to neglect th idea.When my cousin came home she asked wether i would like to go out for dinner.Hell yeah !!!

We had dinner at the famous Murni Discovery in its USJ Taipan branch.The Restaurant was full of ppl.Luckily we got a seat.If you like fusion food then this is the place for you.Most of their food are one of a kind.It ws quite tough deciding which food to order.i wanted to try all of them !

My cousin ordered this.

This drink is named 'i love u !' i love u too ! cuz it tastes good.Its actually ribena,mixed with soda,lemon and longan.

Beef steak stuffed with ham and cheese.Thumbs up!

My sister ordered this

Spaghetti Carbonara.Thumbs up again !

Roti Cheese.i just love their kuah dhal and curry !

Kak Lia(my maid) ordered this

Apple Juice.Refreshing !

Murni dicovery's famous mee utara.Personally,i think its taste is nothin new.Quite similar to 'mee goreng basah'.Nevertheless it tastes good

I ordered..*drumroll* this !

My drink is called fair lady.A Fair Lady for fair lady yaw.lol.Its mango mixed with passion fruit,longan and nata de coco.Yum!

Claypot Lau Shu Fan.This is one of Murni Discovery's signature dish.I cnt wait to dig in.But when i did..

This is what i found.Its my first time eating a claypot lau shu fan.I didnt expect to see short pinkish brown noodles that look like worms.It tastes quite good.But after a few spoonfuls i felt like i was forcing myself to eat it.I think its because of the appearance.It just reminds me of worms! i cnt help it.So i ordered another dish,

Mee Raja bangbang ! this is another Murni discovery's signature dish.My jaw dropped when the waiter put it on my table.Sich big portion ! even the waiter joked tht he didnt think i could finish it.This dish is delicious ! just look at the seafood platter.Theres prawns,mussels,fish,soft shell crab,and hot dog with ham wrapped around it, topped with melted cheese.The noodles are not bad,with prawns,chicken and chopped crabsticks.It sure is a lavish dish ! All for only Rm25.ForRM25,you'd only get a seafood platter for one in Manhattan Fish Shop.But in Murni's you could share for two or even three ! I couldnt finish this too.So i 'tapau-ed' it :)

Deep fried softshell crab !

You should really pay a visit to murni's.Not only their food are delicious and out of ordinary,they also come with a cheap price.I just loove exploring new places to eat.Happy Eating ppl!

Food food and more food

Well.actually a LOT has happened since i last updated but my blog.But since the internet connection here is super slow my eagerness to write just dissapears cuz i'll eventually get pissed over the internet connection when uploading pics.Anyhow last week i went to my neighbour's open house which was on the last day Syawal.His house is the house beside the one beside me.get it?haha.Wht i cn say is the array of food was awesome!i had quite a hard time in restraining myself from eating too much.hehe.Let me list down the foods that were served:

• lemang (of course)
• ketupat(of course again)
• murtabak
• char kuey teow
• roti jala
• nasi beriani
• meehoon sup
• meehoon goreng
• laksa
• rojak buah
• abc
• roasted chicken

(there arent any pictures of them cuz i was too busy pushing myslf btwn wht looked like hundreds of ppl)

heaven right?we spent like an hour an a half just sitting there and eat.Apparently the family who sat at the table with us started to laugh when we brought like the tenth plate of food on the table.The uncle said that at least wait for the workers to clear our previous plates,so that it wouldnt be that obvious.haha.Here is a picture of the canopy.At first i thought my neighbour was having a wedding but it turned out to be an open house.Gorgeous canopy indeed!

Indulging myself

Im sipping my freshly made banana milkshake while writing this entry.Just the thing i need on a hot day.i came across this recipe while randomly browsing the internet.since its sooo yummy-licious,i'll share wif u!

1 frozen banana

1 cup of milk

1 or 2 tb of sugar

1/8 ts of vanilaa essence

*2 servings

u just put all the ingredients in a blender and blend it until its smooth.oh!and for the banana,make sure u wrap it with a plastic before putting it in the freezer.Bcoz im on diet,i modified the recipe a bit by using low fat milk,2 bananas and only 1 teaspoon of sugar.it still tastes great though=).goodluck trying!

Sugar,Spice n everything nice..

Ysterdy.i went to bukit gantang where the elcection is being held.Gosh!arent they mny ppl in a small town!it wuz vry crowded wif posters,banners n supporters frm both parties.Mostly pas la.*wink.mcm2 ngri pnye no plate ade.haha.(BEBAS doesnt count cuz they werent any supporters;haha)Meriah is the exact word to describe the atmopshere.

Anyway..aftr indulging ourselves in kfc(excluding me.diet!)we went to simpang to support our party which is pas.so we stood outside wif the other supporters outside of the school grounds where the voters vote.im kinda used to go to small elections cuz i alwys fllowed my parents when they 'turun'to help in small elections.

i love the feeling when we stood in the crowd of supporters while holding a flag,poster,fan,umbrella.etc(which hs the logo of our party of course) n all the supporters were like shouting together in union to support their party.it nver fails to make my hair stand up.n when the cars honked at us to show their support or when cars who passed by us made signals by using their high beam n waved at us.it felt...nice.like we r one.it doesnt matter what race r we.cuz when theres a small election like this,its like we knw everyone.evnthough we hve no idea who they are.

u knw what?there wus a bus full of chinese students n all of them waved the pas flag.then the indian supporters at the side of the road high fived the chinese studnts in the bus.haha.funny isnt it?n when we were at the gas station an indian came to my dad to tell that the indians support us.(we put a flag on the car)u see wht i mean?it makes me feel warm inside.like i loved everyone.dat is wat i loved the most about small election.if u hvent been to one then u should cuz its an experience that u'll nver forget=).

Actully i wuz hoping to get a taste of the famous mi udang kuala sepetang i saw in tv.Unfotunately i couldnt find it!plus the traffic wuz jammed.yep..traffic jam in a place like Trong.a small town dat u've nver heard of..but its full of cars bcoz of the election.So i gave up n ate laksa pulas at a hawker by the road.it tastes the same as the usual laksa.Suprise suprise-_-.i thought it'd taste different cuz its called laksa pulas.luckily it didnt mde my tummy memulas! lol; Alhamdulillah..the day was ended beautifully wif the winning of Nizar;pas's candidate fr parlimen bukit gantang.Wish i was at the scene to experience it.it would've been a havoc night!

shopaholic vs chocoholic

Bcoz i watched 3 movies in a row last night n slept late i woke late dis morning(as if i woke up early every other day;kehkeh)when i woke up all the adults had gone to my unc's house in Putrajaya.So farah,amy,nurul n i decided to watch Confessions of a Shopaholic in OU.i loved the movie!it wuz damn funny n fun!its the 1st movie i really really liked since 27Dresses.Oh!and Twilight!5 stars frm me.

My family think of me as a shopaholic .am NOT!does buying a new outfit everytime i went out without my parents makes me a shopaholic?no rite..hehe

.A few hours lter,my dad n aunty azean joined us n we dined at Chocolate Lounge.Its a very nice cafe where all its food n drinks are based on chocolate.So to all chocolate lovers out there,dining at chocolate lounge is a must!eventhough im not a chocoholic i did enjoy chocolate dipped stawberries!n drinking hot chocolate wif marshmellows.yum yum..here are some photos of what we ordered n the chocolates displayed.enjoy!

RM5 and Darkness

Yesterday i went to IOI Mall.blieve it or not its my 1st time there pdhl it takes less than 10 mins to go there from my house.it just opened a new wing so its kinda enormous.when we arrived we went to a store called Daiso.all the things in there costs RM5 n are imported frm jpan.bnyk sgttt brg!sume ad.frm stationaries,pinggan mgkuk,tupperware,lingerie,socks,makeup,decorations..u name it!even cotton bud pun ade stu row with all kinds of cotton buds.black one,white one,y ade mickey mouse.haha.but i bought an electronic eraser!cuz its so cool!so when i erase i dun hve to move my hand.haha.what a lazy bum
