Sayur Taugeh Goreng

No more veggies in the fridge got lots of bean sprouts..... fried this for lunch yesterday... So today went to market bought lots of veggies and fishes to stock up in my fridge...since hubby got another lunch invitation today, I didnt have to cook, so I just bought packets of nasi lemak for Hasif,Marsya and me...

Iqram followed Mr Hubby, another friend of him got married today and was invited to Banana Leaf restaurant...before leaving, he asked me what I want to buy back, I said just buy 'fish curry' without specifically telling him not to buy the 'head fish curry' cause I thought of making capati and the curry can be as the capati dip...Mr Hubby bought 'curry fish head' instead...alamak, I told him I dont eat fish head..wat to do , bought already...some more $20 over...

For the taugeh recipe, who are interested, just shout for me ok...

Used up my stock of bananas for this traditional kuih... for breakfast. Outside 3 for $1....

Yesterday, made new glasses for Iqram. Degrees went up by 50 on the right side, so now 250 and left remain the same at 200. Quite high for his age...He has been wearing glasses since he was 4 years old.. went to polyclinic for his developmental screening and was referred to KK Hospital for eye check up... last time the doctor told me that by 8 years old I can decide for him whether to wear or not his spectacles...but it seems now degrees increase how to not let him not wear..?

Furthermore, his lenses are custom made....so it was quite expensive.... $185 for just lens.. since this month is his birthday,the shop, 'Optic point' offered the frame for free, but must below $100.... Pay the difference if more. ....Total for his glasses $210 including gst and after discount...

Going Bananas..

These are my bunch of bananas that I have in store... This is classic, the whole of my adult life, I have never seen or rather say, never recognised 'pisang rajah'.... normally used in malay traditional kuih..the taste are sweet . My mum said, those chinese stalls that sell 'goreng pisang' normally will use pisang rajah or pisang kepok for them to fry... Pisang nangka are normally a bit 'masam' or a bit 'sour'...

I have been searching the whole of Woodlands, for pisang rajah but so far yet to be found... so the other day, my mum went to Geylang market, she came across this bananas and bought home for me to see... she said ''kau nak cari pisang rajah? kat geylang belambak...duit aje bawak.."means( you want pisang rajah? in geylang there so much just bring money.)

Pink & Orange Ang Ku Kuih...

Last week I bought some sweet potatoes, thought of making Ang ku kuih again. After I bought them, I just chucked one corner ....my mum keep nagging when I want to make the ang ku kuih before the sweet potatoes turn bad..so yesterday managed to make them but realised there's no more red colouring.... no choice but to use 'rose pink' and my mum said try some orangelah...the pattern didnt really turn out clear and sharp ...still need more practices...while making, Mr Hubby has to take care of Marsya...hehehehe.... I think he cannot tahan already...cause very tired to take care that 'hyperactive girl'....well at least he knows that it is not easy to take care of her although I am not working...its hard work ok!!!huhuhu...anyway for the recipe can check in my older post in January.

Today starts the 1 week school holidays...theres no time for really that 'holiday' as when the school open Iqram will be seating for his developmental test (CA1 for upper primary students). I have to look into his spelling list for English and Mother tongue and a 'show and tell' test where he will be bringing his favourite toy to show to his class and tell them why he like the toy. Mr Hubby already wrote the script for him to memorise...so its my job to make sure he remembers them...
Hasif will be going back to school for his Robotics everyday till Sunday. So basically its not a holiday...

Dare To Take Challenges?

 

Thought of posting what I did last year.Some maybe have seen this decorated cupcakes, I made for Mr Hubby 's brother's daughter's engagement gift( to be given to the guy's side). So considered my niece lah...well for information actually this niece(final contestant for Miss Universe/Singapore forgot which year) is engaged to the national footballer, cant remember his full name, but it sound like 'Amri', who just won some award think some sports award... Anyway her mother, who is my sis-in -law, 'arrowed' me to do this cupcakes when she heard that I took some class in baking... I was a bit like'no confidence' in taking the task..wah lau!..thought to myself...don't play- play this is no joke business....sekali salah..how? My 'image' will be ruined, and of course theirs too. Then after their persuasion, and thought for a while, maybe this the time to show my 'skill'...I accepted the challenge.

For one month, I had sleepless night thinking and worrying about the cupcakes..when I asked my niece, what colour scheme she's having, she said black & white. She said she has some ideas of what she wanted, and suggested me to go to this website that do wedding cupcakes... wah stresslah... some more she specifically (did I spell correctly) wanted this particular cupcakes.. anyway thank god..all went well. I made it..

Then the other day, my sis-in-law wanted to 'arrow' me again!!! This time she wants me to decorate the bride's room(bilik pengantin) cause the wedding will take place in October. Wah this one lagi big time...I straight away hinted to her...that my designing skill already gave back to teacher...hehehhe.. I just don't know why when people asked me to design their houses, I just feel reluctant.. maybe because each person has their own 'preference'...and I don't want to changed that...more over, although I was trained in Interior design, but my experience was more to exhibition..? that design structures and a smaller scale of 'architecture'?(outside of space) where as for interior you have to be very particular in details...(inside a space)...

The other day, an ex-colleague  called me up asking me whether I do freelance... aiyoh..I told him, freelance with my kids enough already.... with Marsya around definitely cant meet the dateline one...! I also told him, that I dont have the software...imagine after 2 years didn't get to design.. what will happen? Its like when you are learning to cycle after a long time break...although you had the experienced last time...

Hai, sometimes I thought why cant I be more daring in doing things...? Dare to take challenges and be somebody.......

I was wondering what was the cause for her to be like that...was it she cried and shout too much? or the food that she ate? or was it the milk?Hai.. the paediatrician surely will give her some oral dose and this will make my life so difficult!!!
The reason, I have to force the medicine into her mouth and that will take my whole strength to hold her down....

Chocolate Muffins

Again, this is one of my favourite muffins that I ever tried. Very rich chocolaty taste. This one I can say 'got fight' with those in Delifrance muffins...

Ingredients:-
200g cooking chocolate
70g butter
2 eggs
50g castor sugar
60g plain flour
1 tsp baking powder

Method:-
Melt chocolate using double boiler method. Add in butter.Stir till butter melt.
Preheat oven 170c. In another bowl add eggs and sugar. Beat with mixer . Add eggs to chocolate mixture. Stir well.
Sift flour and baking powder into chocolate mixture. Stir again. Scoop mixture into cups fill up till 1/2 full.( I added chocolate chips on top) .Bake for 20 miniutes. (Beware do not fill too much as the mixture will rise!)

After baking, maybe the muffin will be slightly soft(cause little usage of flour) but when its cooled it will be hardened by itself. So if after 20 miniutes still soft dont have to bake again.

Welcome To My Blog

Welcome my friends.. to my humble 'home'. Feel free to browse through my blog and leave comments ya. Hope it is just another website that you will add in your favourites as reading and 'washing your eyes' pleasure.

This is my 1st time having a blog!!! My son is helping me with this... imagine how back dated I am? Going through people's blog make me feel how far ahead they have gone to, while for me, still struggling with this.... The feeling of having one too, was because I also wanted to 'show off' (dont get me wrong of the other show off) what I have done lately with my cooking skills and what I have learnt from classes that I have attended...

Although I left my designing job almost 2 years ago, I still felt that design and cooking are more or less 'related' especially after seeing the 'end product' turned out 'beautiful and nice' and you feel satisfied with your creations and getting the compliments from your 'clients'. I also felt that by making or doing something new in my stay home life especially in baking and cooking has made my life more fulfilled and 'complete'..something to look forward to and worth it after seeing my kids love the cakes,bread and cookies that I made finished.. Of course with the help of my husband, dad and mum. They started to compliment me and said 'ermmm sedap' especially from Mr Hubby (who at first DOUBT my capabilities) and mum( who is very FUSSY in eating traditional kuih).

My kids would love anything that's CHOCOLATE... so as we go along in my blog, most of the cakes recipes are made of chocolate cause me also 'HANTU CHOCOLATE'...!Besides posting about food, I will somehow post about my life, family and things which I think I can share in this blog.The journey of my cooking and baking, the trial and error, the ups and downs of my new experiences.. Its like an e-diary for me too only thing that people can view the content...

With this I declare my blog officially OPEN..
