Resepi nasi daging

Today 15 nov, feelling a bit malas to cook. Tapi perut berbunyi2 minta di isi. Kepala pun dah start pening2 sebab tak makan. So nak tak nak kenala cook something to eat. Since mmg malas nk masak untuk lunch and nanti dinner kena masak lagi so thinking to cook beriani. Ok2, guna pek segera je.
Tetapi malangya rempah dah expired. 😓😓

Tiba2 dapat idea nak masak nasi daging. Kebetulan daging ada banyak lagi, so try to goggle resepi and Alhamdullilah 90% of the bahan2 dah ada dkt rumah. So boleh la proceed. 😅 and of course with a little bit of modification since the bahan takde 100% kan.

So resepinya ialah:

Beras 2 cup (basuh dan toskan)
Daging 200 gram
Serbuk rempah sup adabi half packet
Susu cair 150ml (agak2)
1sudu ghee
Kulit kayu manis
Bunga lawang
Buah pala
Bawang putih
Bawang merah
2 sudu sos tomato/puree
Garam secukup rasa

Cara2:
Rebus daging bersama rempah sup. Air rebusan digunakan untuk masak nasi, so jangan la buang air tu yea.
Selepas daging lembut, dalam periuk yang lain panaskan periuk dan tumiskan ghee bersama bawang putih, bawang merah dan juga rempah 3 serangkai tu. Bila dah naik bau, masukkan tomato puree (saya gunakan sos tomato je).
Kemudian masukkan susu cair dan tuangkan daging bersama air rebusannya. Kalau air rebusan tak cukup, bole tambah beef stock ataupun air biasa, yang penting sukatan air hendakla mengikut beras tadi, nanti nasi mentah tak sedap. And lastly letak beras yang di toskan tadi. Sekarang tunggu nasi masak. Jangan lupa tambahkan garam dalam nasi tadi! Siap!!

Sedap dihidangkan dengan air asam dan papadom. 😄😄

My HSG test

#suspended draft (2nd sept)

Last week finally i decided to take the test! Made an appointment with the hospital, and there you go on the 9th cycle they scheduled me for the hsg test. For the whole week,  my heart beat keep on racing whenever i think of the test, i really did not confident of myself whether i can go through the test or not. Keep on reading other people experience made me nervous but at the same time somehow it gives me courage to do the test. So yeah last friday i did the test!

I guess many of the blog writers are right. Different people, different experience. The procedure is almost the same with pap smear test except that after they insert the speculum they will inject the ink which many people complaint its hurt the most. While they injecting the ink the doctor keep on ask me to relax until at one time i think i feels so sleepy and want to take a nap.

Yes actually i can feel slight pain when they inject the ink, but the pain is bearable compared to my monthly sengugut pain. After inject the ink the doctor asked me to move upwards as the xray machine is located in the middle and as i move they allowed me to straighten mg leg, so i feel more comfortable and relax. And i think more ink are injected and i can feel like the pain become stronger. But to make sure they can take a clear picture and i dont have to go through this again i keep on calm until the end.

As i was so nervous before the test i did not take any breakfast, so right after test i grab some food when i reach home. An hour later suddenly i felt my stomach hurt so much, i cant move and i cant sit still. I tried to lie down and have some sleep, but the pain is still there and nothing much i can do except cry out loud. At the same time i also feel nause that finally i throw out whatever i have for my breakfast. Its tiring and i feel weak, i tried my best to take a nap but i just couldnt. So i lie down, close my eyes and pray the pain will go away. After 2 hours of miserable pain that i wish i dont take the test finally the pain slowly going away.

I still can feel the pain for the whole day, when i walk i need to bend my body a bit, i cant get up from my bed without help and for the whole day i did nothing except rest. 😢 thats my story. The end. I hope i get good result from the test.

Last, but not least.. Thank you dear husband who prepared meal for me on that day. 😁

5 facts about Japan

 Allow me to express how I feel and what I think of Japan after I visited Japan 2 weeks ago.

1. Punctual

It seems that Japanese have respect with time, almost, no it not almost its 100% every time I ride a train it will leave exactly at the time given. The train will arrive at least 1 minute earlier than the schedule time and depart exactly on time. So, no excuses being late to office or school eh?

2. Respect

They are truly have respect to each other. I really admire this attitude. There's no scene such as cutting line or pushing each other to cut the queue. Every time I off the train I can see all are queuing to take the escalator. If you are in a hurry use the right side of the escalator, people usually will stand at the left side and you can take the right side and keep moving fast!

3. Helpful

I couldn't agree more with this. As a tourist and could not read or speak Japanese its is really hard for us to read the map or information in the pamphlet. For sure the best thing to do is to ask! Don't worry, although some are not familiar with English but they are willing to help you. On the second day touring Tokyo we have no idea how to reload Suica card ( prepaid card for train ) , so we asked a Japanase beside us and he pushed HELP button on the ticket machine and this is what happened.

 

 

This is what happened, the officer actually did this! Seriously!! He ask us what happened and immediately came to us and teach us to reload the card! This picture of course is not mine as the incident happened really fast, I actually goggle for this picture. =D

4. Polite & Humble

I do not know how to express this, you imagine "You in a lift from level 8, suddenly the lift stop at level 4. The person who pushed the button at level 4 immediately asked for an apology for you once the door open to pick her up. Once you guys reach the ground floor, she said thank you to you". Speechless, I did not do any favour to her.  But hey, of course it's cheer up my day.

Oh one more thing, they actually stop if the they see you are trying to capture some pictures so they wont photo bomb you picture =)

5. Hygienic

The toilet are super clean! and advanced! Haha believed it or not they even have warmer on the seat. And with the wave of hand, the toilet will automatically flush. Oh did I mention they even have music option? In case you have a serious problem in the toilet you may push the music button and the sound of flush will keep accompany you in the toilet so that you wont feel shy to leave the toilet =D

Clean and advanced toilet

There a few button option there ( see I told you there's music button there!)



Flush with a wave of hand

Oh their toilet are also mom friendly, you can put you child there without worries

I think that's all I can recall right now. All the good things that make us misses Japan so much, the nearer our vacation ends, my other half keep on complaining how badly he will miss Japan after this and how he didn't want our vacation end but too bad the office are waiting, and need to go back to earn some more money.. Hhaha

Unplanned visit to Japan

How should I said this is unplanned trip, while I have full list of itinerary of where we should headed once we landed in Tokyo. My oh my, Tokyo, Japan, never once across in my mind I will put my foot there. The cost of living and Visa approval procedures makes me try to avoid Japan as my dream place to visit.

But Allah surely knows better. Last September, my best friend followed her husband for some job posting to Japan for 3 months. I am excited, and happy for her! but the invitation to visit her in Japan surely make my night sleepless. Counting my saving, expenses, clicking and checking flight tickets everyday, and the most important thing I only have less than 3 months to make it happen. Persuading my hub is also not an easy job, we are currently paying for 2 houses and vacation to overseas of course is not an option.

Hey, I am not that easy to give up! I'll do anything to make my wish come true! Staying with my friend in Japan is the best option ever, we will cut cost for accommodation of course, and secondly we have someone to refer to, I mean how to buy train ticket, to go here and there.. you know as our tourist guide =)

I promise to my hub I will not spending any money on clothes or tudung or do any online shopping for 2 months, teeheee... Oh and also I will cut my lunch budget, and  I will prepare home cooked food to bring to the office! =) So that is how I do my saving in a very short notice.

After web browsing to every flight available to Tokyo, finally I made decision to buy ticket through AirAsia. Yes, it is the cheapest among all. I managed to get ticket from KL To Haneda including meals, seat, luggage and insurance less than 1.5K perperson.  I think it is good enough, or if I wait any longer I just afraid I might loose the opportunity.

So this is how our journey begin, after we booked the flight tickets, I start to make an itinerary for us. A week in Japan surely give us plenty time to visit Tokyo.

Here are some places that I visit during my stay. The picture taken from google, as I haven't transfer any pic from my camera to desktop yet.




Fuji Mountain

 

Tokyo Tower

 

Sensoji Temple



Surely I will miss Japan, I really hope we can come back again as soon as possible. I'll try to update more pictures from my own camera after this. Cheers



Resepi sup daging simple

Disebabkan today husband demam and sakit tekak tak sampai hati nak masak daging masak merah. Fikir punya fikir tercetus la idea nak masak sup daging.

Sebenarnye last week da siap rebus daging dalam one hour lebih, nak rebus untuk sekali makan macam membazir pulak gas tu kan.. maklumla barang2 keperluan makin lama makin mahal, lagipun hari tu ada terbaca daging yang dah dimasak boleh di simpan dalam peti dan tahan lama.  😅 kiranya disamping jimat gas untuk rebus daging setiap kali masak, jimat masa jugak! Seriously tak perlu nak thaw daging dulu, potong and cuci. Just keluarkan daging yang dah siap rebus tu, and terus masak. Pastu tak payah dah nak rebus lama2 sebab daging tu dah lembut.

Oh yea this is my simple sup daging resepi..

Daging yang dah empuk
Kentang
Tomato
Rempah sup daging
Daun sup

Cara masak:

Rebus air, masukkan daging.
Bila air mendidih boleh masukkan kentang, klau ada carrot boleh masukkan carrot juga!
Kentang empuk masukkan rempah sup, diikuti  tomato dan daun sup. Siap!! Bileh dihidangkan panas2 dengan nasi dengan telur dadar and sambal!!! 😄😄😄

Trip to Lion City part 2

Second night here, we decided to have dinner at Vivo Mall, which located right in front of the stall that we had dinner last night. The scenery behind Vivo Mall is superb, we can view the sea, and across the sea lay Pulau Sentosa, the infamous USS locate.



Harbour Front

 

Sentosa Island



The big ferry

 The last night we were here we managed to pull a trip to Bugis Street. Here is the perfect place to buy gifts and souvenir for family and friends.



I took this picture in front of KFC near Bugis Street

Walking along the street till we stop at the Mosque that named as Masjid Sultan

Stunning isn't it? We ended the day by having dinner at the famous Zam Zam Restaurant. Totally forgot to snap a picture, by the way I ordered Murtabak Ayam and it cost me SGD6. The price is pretty fair to me since it filled with loaded of chicken.


We went back to KL the following day by plane, and I managed to take some picture of Changi Airport Terminal 1.

Oh, that's all I guess. No stunning picture here since I took using my phone (ehem execuses)
Maybe next time =)

 

My trip to Lion City

My sis and I already plan nk pergi USS last April, but due to some reasons tak jadi pergi. Mungkin bukan rezeki, takpe la redha je.Tapi niat dihati nak dapat satu lagi cop dekat buku merah, before buku merah tu expired.. ^o^ and yes yang terdekat ialah Singapore and mmg aim nk ke sane because I miss Singapore already.. hihi

Last month, someone from the office PM me and asked if I want to join a new technology training, of course I said Yes!! Tanpa berfikir panjang pulak tu, and apparently the training is held at Singapore. So its like dapat rezeki berganda. I mean yea I always want to learn new technology and out of blue someone offer me, bukankah itu rezki namanye? and kt Singapore pulak tu that's why I called it as rezeki berganda!! Alhamdullilah.. Yeayy

So we left from KLIA2  ( my first time there! It is HUGE!!!) at wee hour and reach Changi Airport at 7AM. Grab some breakfast at the airport and took taxi to the training centre. Bla.. bla .. bla until 5, finally took a taxi and check in Hotel. What a long day!! The hotel located at Telok Blangah and it is quite near to the MRT station. Its like 10 to 15 minutes walk. For the first night since we already had a very long day, we decided to have a dinner to the nearest Halal food which is located near to the Harbour Front station. Nothing special, I ate Mee goreng Mamak from Mamak stall which cost me SGD4.

The hotel do not provide breakfast, so the next morning we wake up early and planned to have a breakfast at the training centre instead. My oh my, we have no idea how to take a taxi from the hotel. Dekat Malaysia, dimana-mana sahaja anda boleh tahan teksi yea, correct me if I'm wrong. Hotel staff cakap boleh ambil teksi depan hotel je, so kami pun berusaha bersungguh-sungguh berdiri di tepi jalan sambil menahan teksi, but non of the taxi yang stop! non hado!

 


In the attempt to stop the taxi




My friends suggest to cross the street and try tahan dekat situ pulak. Hmm lagi teruk, it was a bus stop! Plus ade line kuning, which means jalan dkt situ specifically untuk bus sahaja! So jalan and jalan lagi ke depan sambil berdoa ade taxi yg sanggup cut the rules and ambil kami. And finally, ada jugak.. ^-^. The driver taxi told us that usually expatriate did not know the rules, ^o^ same here. So I asked about booked fees and he told us that if you called a day earlier to book taxi the booked fares are SGD8, but if you call on the spot booked fares around SGD2.80 but you have to wait 5 to 10 minutes for the taxi to arrive, hey its totally ok! 5 to 10 minutes is not that long =)

Oh, I'm going to continue this by tomorrow =)

Bye for now.
