Anika Satay

Hello I am back!!...reached home yesterday night and was so tired..didnt got the chance to open my blog..this morning was busy clearing the laundry and stuff bought from JB...stayed 3 days in my brother's house in Bandar Putra Kulai..the kids really enjoyed their stay there, as they can climb up trees and play catching in front of the porch..maklumlah all this while been staying in 'pigeon holes', so when stay in landed house they felt so carefree... Marsya tak nak balik..hehe

Cross over on Thursday night. Not much photos that I snapped, but took this satay that we prepared from Singapore to be barbequed on Friday night. We barbequed, prawns, squids, sausages, fish balls, and chicken wings. On top of that we still prepare the normal menu like sayur lodeh, sambal goreng pengantin, rendang ayam, serunding and of course the compressed rice...

Note:- Lidi satay hendaklah direndam dalam air sebentar dan dilap kering. Ini untuk mengelakkkan dari lidi itu cepat hangus dan putus tatkla kita membakar satay ini menggunakan oven. -(Soak satay sticks in water for a while and wipe dry. This to prevent satay sticks from getting burnt and break while grilling using the oven)
