MCSS Military Band Reunion 2010

Mei Chin Secondary School (MCSS) Military Band Reunion was held at The Warren Condominium@ Chua Chu Kang Loop yesterday. After 26 years, it was indeed a 'heart pounding' moment as I entered the function room where the event was held...A few of my friends who have already arrived earlier was shocked to see me...the first sound I heard was 'AYUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!..is that YOU!!!!!!!!.

Alammmak!!!! I felt like turning back and run 10 kilometres away!!!!!..hahaha..I just smiled and was blushing ... with my ears feeling very hot!!!(in fact some smoke came out) luckily it was covered with my tudung....so nobody knows...hehe...

They yelled, 'You looked so different!!!..Then I asked them in what ways was I different?..is it good news or bad news?..Their answer was....well last time you are so FLAT!!!..now you.....they didnt finish their sentences!!! HUAWAHAHAHAHH....Then I cracked some jokeslah..Yalah!!! now so many BABAT right?....so many mountains and hills so many humps and lumps....we burst into laughter and thats the 'taboo' part that I was afraid off before I came to the event...haha...phew!!!..thank god they've got no choice but to bear with it..wakakakaa....

Ah!! anyway..we have to accept that we are now UNCLES and AUNTIES status..

semua dah TUEK!!!

Most of the pictures taken are candid pictures of my friends..not many of mine, there are a fewlah..but it was taken by my friends who was not sure how to handle my DSLR camera...most came out blurred and some even didnt zoom nearer...so my pictures are just a handful..

below  was what was taken by one of the members spouse,  should have zoomed in nearer,

can you find me in there?....

Hahaha..dont think you can find me..cause although I was in the pictures taken, but I've already 'touched up' myself hehehe...well you know something called photoshop?...
kikikiki

Before we return home, each of us were told to sign our intials on the banner for the event...we were to write our names, year joined and leave the band and played what instruments.... and I guessed you should know how old I am by looking at the year I was in secondary school..hehehe..

Coconut Pandan Cupcakes

 Made this Coconut Pandan Cupcakes yesterday for Marsya...she loves this...in fact she is my 'Retaining Client' so far...huhu...the boys now seems 'tired' of cakes..hehehe..yesterday they requested cookies pulak..after the butter cookies incident, they requested for chocolate cookies now...I promised them I will make for them when I am 'free' of my mind...Got this recipe from Kak Am(Flora). Minta halal ya kak..I put up the recipe here

Well, I am thinking whether I should go for an ex- school band reunion gathering this Saturday or not...Not sure how will I react after all this years meeting them again ..how should I talk to them, how should I present myself in front of them and how should I dress on that day..huhu...although I've already confirmed I will be coming, but looking at those who are attending, I am not sure how I will feel...

 Ingredients:-
11/2 -13/4 cups castor sugar-(I used 11/4 cups aje)
4 medium large eggs
2 cups all purpose flour
11/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 tsp pandan essence
1/2 tsp green food colouring
1 small box coconut milk = 1 cup thick coconut milk(200ml)
1 tbsp vegetable oil

Method:-
Beat eggs and sugar on high speed until frothy and creamy. Add in all the essences and the food colouring and mix well. Sift flour, baking powder and salt into the egg mixture and beat on medium speed. Pour in half of the coconut content into mixture and blend well. Alternate this step with the dry and wet ingredients, finishing off with the dry ingredients. Beat till smooth. Lastly, fold in the vegetable oil in the batter. Pour the batter into loaf tins or you can use an eight inch cake tin. Bake in 180C for 40 minutes (I used the paper cups so I used 175C for 15-20 minutes.) or until the skewer comes out clean.
**To vary you may add a cup of chocolate chips or raisins.

Ikan Sambal Kantan

Today entries are just simple dishes as usual...got this recipe from CMG's blog..thank ya..Che Mat..Actually while I am typing this my mind is quite worried about tomorrow's agenda..well you see, I have to accompany my mum to the hospital cause she's going for a Colonoscopy ...the other day, after the follow up appointment, the doctor who checked her found that her red blood cells are very low...since she got thyroid, the doctor suspects the lowering of her red blood cells was due to that..so she told us to go for this 'scope' thingy..

I did asked the doctor whether is it necessary for her to go through that?..the answer was if theres nothing then its a good sign lah but if there's something then we can treat her early..basically I just dont dare to ask further and dont want to think 'wildly' by what she meant by that...its not just scope from the bottom but also from the top at the same time!!!..

Butter Cookies

I made this for Mr Hubby to bring over for his trip...the intention was just solely for him, cause I thought the kids wouldnt like them...so I just doubled the ingredients..didnt even finished the whole butter..after  baking, let cool on the rack, I packed the cookies in an air tight container and passed to him to be packed together with his luggage...left 2 pieces behind 1 for Hasif and the other for Iqram, and nothing for Marsya as she was sleeping...came along Hasif...'Ma, anymore cookies or not?'...weh!!!..no more lah..I answered him, I thought you dont like this...'Ma..I want some more, I want some more...

Aiyoh!!..no choice I brought out the mixer again ler..made another 75g butter..and you know what?....Finished!!!..came along Marsya..saw her brothers ate the last cookies she asked me 'Ma, I want cookies!!!..Ayoyo!!...so lazy to make some more...I have to digged out the ones that already packed for Mr Hubby and gave some to her...(Kalau buat banyak tak habis kalau buat sikit tak cukup pulak ishk..ishk..)..

Anyway..I dont have the Demerara sugar used in this recipe..so I just used coarse sugar that was available at home...bought the cutter some where in Kallang, I think the shop's name is KITCHEN CAPERS....saw this recipe quite sometimes ago in Do what I like ...very buttery cookies!! We love it very much...try it you wont regret...

Ingredients:-
75g butter(I used Golden Churn)-for best results I suggest this-(75g mentega-sya gunakan mentega cap tong)-(untuk dapatkan rasa yang enak saya cadangkan gunakan ini)-
50g fine sugar-(50g gula halus)
1/4 tsp salt-(1/4 sudu kecil garam)
1 egg yolk + 1/2 tsp vanilla essence(lightly beaten)-(1 kuning telur + 1/2 sudu kecil esen vanila dipukul sikit)
150g cake flour(remove 1 tbsp)-(150g tepung cake-buang 1 sudu besar)
pinch of baking powder-(secubit baking powder)
1 tbsp skim milk powder(I used Marsya's milk powder dugro)..hehe-(1 sudu besar tepung susu)

1egg white-(1 putih telur)
Dry Demerara sugar for sprinkling-(I dont have this so I used coarse sugar)-(Gula kering Demerara untuk ditaburkan-(saya tak ada ni so saya gunakan gula kasar aje)

 

Roll dough into flat sheet not more than 5mm thick and chill in the fridge.

(Gelek doh atas sekeping plastic leper tak melebihi 5mm tebal dan sejukkan dalam fridge)

 

Mehtod:-
Cream butter, sugar and salt with electric beater till pale and fluffy. Add in egg yolk and beat till well incorporated. Sieve in the flour and baking powder, add in the milk powder, use the lowest speed of your electric beater to combine. Mixture will be breadcrumbs like and will form dough easily. Put dough into a plastic bag and roll it into a flat sheet as in photo 3. Chill in the fridge till harden before cutting out the cookie. Cut out the cookie with cutter. Brush on some egg white and sprinkle dry demerara sugar on the surface. Bake on a lined tray at 180C for 10 minutes(I used (170C for 15 minutes) in the middle rack and shift to the upper rack and bake for further 2-3 minutes to get the golden brown colour.

Notes:- the sprinkling of the dry demerara sugar is optional. If you omit this step, please increase sugar to 60g. Please really only use a pinch of baking powder as you dont want the cookie to be out of shape when it is baking in the oven. Chill the dough again if it is too soft to be cut out.-(Pukul mentega, gula dan garam hingga pucat dan gebu. Masukkan telur kuning dan pukul lagi hingga sebati. Ayak tepung bersama baking powder dan masukkan tepung susu dengan menggunakan speed yang perlahan. Adunan akan menajadi seperti brreadcrumbs dan senang menjadi doh. Masukkan doh dalam plastic bag dan gelek macam gambar no 3. Sejukkan doh  dalam fridge hingga keras sedikit sebelum diterap. Sapukan putih telur dipermukaan kuki dan taburkan gula diatasnya. Bakar diatas loyang yang telah dialas kertas selam 180C selama 10 minit( saya gunakan 170C selama 15 minit) di rack tengah dan bakar selam 2-3 minit dirak atas untuk mencapai warna kekuningan.

Note:- Taburan gula diatas adalah optional. Kalau tak nak boleh lupakan step ni, tapi naikkan kadar gula kepada 60g. Gunakan SECUBIT sahaja baking powder kerana kita tak mahu cookies ni naik dan tak cantik. Masukkan lagi dalam fridge kalau doh menjadi lembik untuk diterap.)

 Salam, Mr Hubby wont be around the whole of this week cause he flew to Manchester, United Kingdom, yesterday night for some courses there...since he dont really like flavoured rice like briani and 'nasi2 yang sewaktu dengan nya', I decided to try this Nasi Kebuli..

When I first heard and saw this rice in Shidah's blog, I was quite curious, cause I have never heard any history or whatever in my entire life about this rice..hehehe....even when I wanted to cook the rice this morning..my mum asked me what is nasi kebuli...so if my mum pun tak kenal, apa lagi kitakan..hehehe...frankly before I cooked this rice, I went to surf the net, to look up other nasi kebuli recipes and also wanted to know what other dishes to go along with this rice...mostly  Indonesian's love this as I can see mostly Indonesians yang share the recipe in their blogs...

Nasi Kebuli some said from the middle east, some said from Betawi and some even named after the  area of the Semenanjung Malaysia...Some variations that can be seen are the use of coconut milk and mixed spices like the cinnamon stick, cardamons and cloves and ghee oil...anyway I've decided on this recipe cause according to Shidah, the rice are very light and tak muak...thank you Shidah, minta izin I put up the recipe here for my future reference ya...we like it!!!

The recipe given for this are like as it is..no accurate measurements or quantity given ..so they are base on your own eye judgement and taste..only those ingredients used are noted..the original recipe was to used tuna fish, but I substitute to spanish mackerel. What I can say about the difference of this dish was to boil the fishes first then fried, which normally I skipped the boiled part and straight away jumped to frying them...hehe..Well if to ask me which I preferred, I would say this one!..

kacang panjang-(long beans)
kicap -(dark soy sauce)
sos tiram-(oyster sauce)

Method:-
Bersih ikan dan rebus dengan bahan-bahan rebus. Letak siket air tapi tak payah tenggelam ikan. Tutupkan periuk.. biarkan di atas api 4-5 minit. Ikan yang dikukus semalaman lagi sedap bila digoreng. Goreng ikan tongkol yang direbus sehingga garing. Ketepikan
Tumiskan bawang dan cili sehingga naik bau. Masukkan kicap dan sos tiram. Kacau dalam 1-2 minit. Kemudian masukkan kacang panjang. Goreng dalam 2-3 minit.

South Indian Chicken Curry

Made this to go with the roti jala...wanted to try another type of chicken curry, instead of the normal ones...came across this one, looked simple and easy..as for the spices*, I just used whatever in stock and mine are in powdered form so I didn't do the process of frying and grinding them...Just mixed the powder to form paste...even I dont have coriander leaves and green pepper at home I just substitute with curry leaves and green chillies....sikit lebih kurang halal ler..hehe..

Original the gravy was quite thick but since I wanted to dip the gravy for my roti jala..I made the gravy a bit runny...Sesiapa yang nak saya alihkan bahasa pekik kat shoutbox tu ya..

Ingredients:-

1 tbsp vegetable or canola oil
1/2 tsp black mustard seeds
3 medium onions, sliced thin
3 sprigs fresh cilantro, chopped, + 1/4 cup loosely packed cilantro leaves-(I dont have cilantro leaves(coriander leaves) so I just used 3 sprigs curry leaves)
1 gclove garlic minced
1 inch ginger minced
3 potatoes, diced into 1/2 inch cubes
2 green peppers(I used green chillies)
2lbs.chicken thigh skinned(I used 1 whole chicken)
2-3 tbsp South Indian Curry Spice Mix*
2 cups fresh coconut milk(1 cup thick, 1 cup thin)
kosher salt

Method:-
In a large pot, heat oil over medium heat until it is very hot. Add mustard seeds and let them sizzle for about 1 minute. Add the garlic, ginger, sliced onion, and cilantro stems and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the ground spice mix and continue cooking for 6-8 minutes until the onions are very soft, stirring often so that the onions cook evenly.

When the onions and pepper are soft and have absorbed the spices, start adding the chicken, a little at a time. Stir the pieces until they're coated with the spices, and then add more chicken. When all the chicken has been stirred in, pour the thin coconut milk over the chicken, add the salt and the potatoes, reduce the heat to medium low, cover and simmer until the chicken is cooked and the potatoes are tender, about 40 minutes.

Remove the cover from the pot and bring the liquid to a boil. Boil for 3-5 minutes, until the sauce is thickened. Then add the thick coconut milk and the cilantro leaves. Return liquid to a simmer, season to taste with salt, and serve with rice.

Roti Jala

Huh already saw yellow and green roti jala..I made orange pulak..haha..thought of making purple!...haha..takut nobody dares to eat..hehe..this time used the recipe from Kak Ummi..but I cant remember where I've got it from....dah check from Chik Mi, tapi not from her..so thousand apologies from whom I took this ya..cause I really cant remember...normally if the recipe is short I would just dotted in my recipe book, for this I forgot to write the place I've got it from..Anyway thank you very much dear kind soul...for sharing this

I think I would prefer this recipe compared the ones with coconut milk..this one is light tak muak...cause after dipped in curries that are coconut milk base it just goes well...
Yes I already used the roti jala bottle for 'weaving' the net for this savoury...best..no more messy on the kitchen stove...jangan jealous eh..hehe

 Ingredients:-
300g tepung gandum
600ml air (Ayu guna 500ml air +100ml fresh milk)
1 biji telur besar +1 biji telur kecil (pukul sikit)
1 sudu kecil garam halus
1 titik pewarna kuning(saya gunakan oren)

Sedikit minyak masuk kedalam adunan(Ayu tambah)

Method:-
Bancuh semua bahan dan kacau hingga benar2 sebati. Tapis campuran dan pastikan bancuhan air senang turun, tidak terlalu pekat. Panaskan non stick pan dengan api perlahan. Letak sedikit minyak, ceduk penuh bancuhan dalam acuan(agar adunan turun tak putus) Mula buat bulatan dari tepi ketengah. Bila telah lekang, bolehlah diangkat. Lipat atau gulung roti jala tadi.

Apam Mould & Roti Jala Bottle

Yeh!!!..I've got those at last...bought the apam moulds last weekend, when I went to Geylang for lunch at Hajah Maimunah Restaurant with the family...while Mr Hubby went up to park the car, I quickly dragged the kids to the opposite Joo Chiat Complex and went to the shop that Kak Am(flora) bought her 'Kopi Tiam Cups' and Apam moulds..eeeee..I was so excited when I've got them..Mr Hubby just shook his head when I discreetly pushed the moulds  aside on the table during lunch, 'Hermm apa tu?..Tak habis lagi beli perkakas kuih?'(What are those?..just cant get enough of your baking stuff?) ..he sounded, but his eyes were on the food  served...I answered with a little soft tone and a guilty laugh..'Ah...$1 aje murah kan...I bought 10 so only S$10..hehehe.'..(Ah!!..cheap!! only S$1, so I bought 10)..well yet to try and make the Apam Jepun in that moulds.....hehe

The other gadget would be the Roti Jala mould/bottle which was actually for chili sauce or mayonise bottle. Bought this quite sometimes ago in Daiso (the all S$2 shop) in Vivocity.....A lady was standing right in front of this and I was so nervous that she might grabbed it..without wasting any moment ..I quickly grabbed the only and last bottle standing!!!(kiasu right?).. huhu..

Sausage Puffs

 

Wanted to clear off this instant puffs from my freezer space, so I made this simple sausage puffs for the boys to bring to school today... well actually more for Hasif, as he said now he dont understand why he gets hungry so easily and he just ate alot at school!!..I told him its because he is growing and his body is changing to be a man...(huhu my eldest has grown up now!!)cant believe it  I am getting old ....

Imagine he can just spent his money at least S$3-4 a day just on food..alamak I told him 'macam gini taukeh pun bankrupt' hehehe..so I suggested to him to tapau food from home especially when those days that he needed to stay late in school..he of course willingly agreed as it also helps for him to save some money from the allowances that I gave him every month.. I gave him one time amount of money and its up to him to juggle how much he spent and once finished its not my problem anymore!..hehehe...I guessed at this age he already knew the value of money...which the opposite for Iqram...refused to bring food from home and there's always no balance of his allowance that I gave him everyday...

Arrowhead Chips

At first saw this in Ann's blog, then in Nor Terengganu's..quite curious jugak when they said it was so nice and 'lemak'...so when I went to NTUC the other day..ternampak benda ni decided to buy ..so I bought about 10 pcs...and that already cost about S$2.00..the salesgirl who was packing these, quite surprised when she saw me picking up one by one...she asked me 'malay also pandai eat this one kah?'..hehe...

When reached home I showed them to my mum....even she asked me 'apa benda buah ni?'(what fruit is this)..hehehe...I told her as what was noted by Nor, a kind of 'ubi'(tapioca/cassava) species...that afternoon, cleaned the skin and slice them thinly..washed and drained..apa lagi fried them ler...before frying I added some salt ...the taste is HEAVEN!!(As if I've been there ah?..haha)...you just cant stop eating... before the next batch finished frying the first batch already finished eaten by me...hahaha...thought of buying them again yesterday ...dah habis pulak..if to find them again I will definitely buy them some more!!..
