My 'library' Collections from the Net

A few days didnt manage to open my library to explore new dish..cause got to send Marsya to school. My Hasif has been asking me 'anything to munch munch?'. I told him no cause no time.Normally for Hasif after the compulsory meal which is rice he prefer to eat something else for 'dessert'?

This are my piles of recipes that I found in the net. That did not include another piles of books that I collected and bought. Honestly I prefer to explore those in the net cause, there were some feedbacks from the user that might give me hints and tips. Where else for the books, some are not complete and some are not sincere in giving the recipes!!! Like my koleh koleh kacang that I posted not long ago, the sugar content was way too much!!

As for me if recipe good I will marked them nice but if its not I will throw away the recipe or black marked it as

'NOT NICE, DONT TRY ANYMORE'.

Princess Bread Maker

My 'princess' breadmaker is down!!!! The mechanism that turn the lever only 1 is turning instead of two...aiyooooh...it was given to me from hubby and kids on 'Mother's day' last year. Still under waranty.. ask a favour from Mr Hubby to send to the agent... at the moment, cant do bread..or anything that needs to be kneaded..

Just got a call from agent that the breadmaker will take around 5-10 days to repair! My hubby told me that he managed to get the lady to put in as urgent request as he told her 'my wife cant live without it'. heheheh...Damaged probably caused by overused.....? sure or not? nolah I think because it is CHEAP!!!

This few days have been quite hectic for me.. mum is not around as she went over to my brother's place to help out as my sis-in-law has just given birth the 4th baby(all girls)!
So I cooked the simplest dish I can think of...Iqram needs to eat before he goes to school and today, the 'auntie' who comes to my house weekly to iron the clothes,can also eat it...the challenging part was to come out with the dish that is not hot as both this two people cant take hot stuff. Whatever available in the fridge was, bean sprout, chye sim, prawns and fish cakes. Pulled out my drawer there this packet of penne pasta which I bought a few weeks ago. Normally I would make pasta with those spagetti sause and sprinkle with lots of mozarella cheese. So today I made this fried pasta that is easy as the 'maggi advertisement' 'cepat dimasak sedap dimakan!'(fast to cook good to eat)....

1 cube chicken stock

30 cents taugeh

a few stalks of chye sim

21/2 ladle of grinded chilli (or 20 tbsp depends on hot)

3-4 tbsp of oil

salt and msg to taste

Method:-

In wok heat oil, fry onions, garlic till brown .Add grind chilli and chicken stock and continue frying . Add in fish cakes, prawns and chye sim amd stir. Add in eggs fry till 2-3 miniuts .Add boiled pasta and stir.

After all the pasta has been covered by chilli, add in taugeh and stir . turn off heat and ready to be serve.

Kuih Bakar Pandan

The pandan leaves that I bought that day are turning yellow. To save it from going into the dustbin, I decided to make kuih bakar. Of course I cut those yellowish ends and only took the greener ones. 10 pandan leaves is enough to make 1 cup of pandan juice. As usual Mr Hubby brought this for breakfast... comment from him 'almost perfect..not too oily and not too...I forgot

but the sesame seeds are too much, as they 'bertabur ' on his uniform as he ate them.

Ingredients:-
1 cup of sugar
1 cup of pandan juice(or water + pandan essence)
2 cups of plain flour
21/4 cups of coconut milk(450ml)
2 tbsp butter
3 eggs
1/2 tsp salt
green colour
sesame seeds

Method:-
1. Put all the ingredients in blender and blend.
2. Add 2 tbsp of cooking oil in 10" loyang
3.Preheat oven and put the loyang in oven. When the oil dah panas, put in the mixture and sprinkle sesame seeds on top. Bake@ 175 degress till brown or crispy.( I baked for 90 mins to get that top and sides brownish-burnt taste.
