Sweet Chat

Last weekend hubby and I managed to pay a visit to Sweet Chat Cafe. We went there for our very first time. Before this we just passed by this café, but since on that day hubby already began moody due to starving stomach so quickly I dragged him into any nearest restaurant, and here it is.

I thought hubby would order Nasi since he is very hungry. Luckily this café offer variety of foods. They have Nasi Lemak with chicken if I'm not mistaken and they also have Nasi with Ayam kunyit (it's either way I'm not sure). But surprisingly hubby order Nyonya Laksa instead... and for me I ordered Baked Macaroni.


Baked Macaroni

Fillings with broccoli and carrots

 
Nyonya Laksa with Sambal
 
Up and close with Nyonya Laksa
 
My verdict, Nyonya Laksa won! I'm not sure whether it's because someone food and not mine or because it is really tasty. But my hubby agreed, is it delicious plus with the sambal yummie! And for Baked Macaroni I gave to 2 stars of out of 5.

Fucuk Masak Lemak

Arena masak memasak ini adalah sangat baru bagi saya. Ini kerana sebelum berkahwin saya adalah sangat-sangat jarang memasak.. hehehe. In the beginning I always cooked the same dishes. I've tried to cook curry, failed! err takde la dpt F but I think dapat gred C kot. Tak sehebat masakam mamak or masakan rumah, kekurangan sesuatu! Need to improve, lalu dirumah belajar memasak. Oh, senangnya main campak campak da siap. Kenapa cubaan sendri tak menjadi? Kini rempah kari dipersalahkan. Mintak mak belikan rempah kari yang same.. (kalau ni fail kena cari menda laen utk disalahkan) Tak cuba lagi! Jadi takde result lagi yea..

Entry kali ini bertajuk pucuk masak lemak sbb saya ingin berkongsi tips. Setelah beberapa percubaan untuk masak lauk ini mendapat gred D. Kenapa D? sebabnya suhun itu terlalu kembang sehingga menyerap hampir kesemua kuahnya! cuba bayangkan. Kuasa suhun menyerap air! Lalu kami terpaksa makan suhun kembang itu tanpa kuah. (-_-') Percubaan seterusnya diteruskan tanpa putus asa, kali ini jumlah penyertaan suhun dikurangkan. Pada pemikiran yang bijak ini, mungkin terlalu banyak suhun kot, sbb tue la kuasa penyerapan menjadi kuasa dua!! Hasilnya kurang penyerapan, tetapi masih menyerap kuah. Oh penat sudah!

Seharusnya lauk ini adalah yang paling senang sekali dimasak, jadi tanpa putus asa saya mencuba lagi! (Ganbatte!) Kali ini terjumpa sebuah website yang memberitahu suhun tersebut harus direndam terlebih dahulu, dan setelah fucuk itu lembut barulah dimasukkan suhun. (this is the key of success) Kaedah ini telah saya aplikasikan, Alhamdullilah it works! Lalu dengan bangganya saya ingin berkongsi gambar fucuk masak lemak saya




Ini ialah resepinya

Sepeket suhun and fucuk
Sepeket Santan
Sedikit ikan bilis
1/2 Biji Bawang Besar
1 tangkai Cili Merah
Sedikit Air
Sedikit Garam

Mula -mula sila rendam fucuk dan suhun.
Kemudian masukkan bawang, ikan bilis, air, dan santan kedalam periuk.
Apabila mendidih bolehla masukkan fucuk, tunggu sehingga lembut.
Akhir sekali masukkan suhun dan cili merah. Garam secukup rasa
Rasa da cukup garamnya, bolehla ditutup api dan dihidangkan.

Senangkan! No hassle at all =)

Being a wifey

After a year plus being a wife I could say I need lots of energy. Yes, I don't have kids yet.. but still as a wife I need to be energetic, and I absolutely salute for those mummy out there! How can you manage masak,basuh baju,lipat kain, kemas rumah, cuci pinggan, sapu sampah, mop lantai and at the same time jaga anak? Its so true when you called yourself as SUPERMAK or SUPERMOMY.

Usually I arrived home after ahzan mahgrib, so a quick shower will do, perform prayer, mengaji while waiting Isya (kalau tak kebulur)and perform Isya prayer. After that, quickly I will ran to kitchen and start cooking, I believe my cooking skills are improving.. (pat my back)  I'll try my best to cook for less than an hour, so that we will not have a late dinner. Although actually it's already late. (-_-)

Finish cooking, serve dinner and happily having dinner with hubby in front of TV. Oh its not stop here, more jobs coming up. After dinner if my hubby in a very good mood he will help me clean all the pinggan mangkuk. If not, its always my turn to clean up. Fuhh.. continue with laundry.

Done with laundry, need to iron hubby clothes, my clothes. Check if anything need my attention, if the floor need extra polish need to mop the lantai. If butang baju tercabut, need to sew it. If buku berselerak need to kemas. See?? so many things need to be done.

All this never across my mind, I thought being married means shared your life with your partner, that's all. Actually its more than that, it is responsibility. Once you are married you are given one more responsibility, and we need to carefully fulfils the responsibility. IsyaAllah I will try my best to be the best wife for my husband. Amin ;)

Reunion

Every time I went to my sister house, every night she will be busy. Yes busy with her phone, endless notification and then smiling to the phone, sometimes giggles also (-_-) and I have to repeat my question to her like several times before she acknowledge. Poor me

So I asked her, with whom are you talking/chatting with? Why are you getting lots of notification, like never ending story. After a few times asked, then she answered me. "Oh, it's from my office mate" and I was like "WHAT???" Then she explain, "Well, we are in chat group using whatsapp, don't you have one? besides office mate I also have another group from my school besties" Ok, that's explain a lot. It's cool huh? Like every night reunion with your old good days friends. Gossipping, updates your life and of course silly jokes includes. And best thing of all its fell like you are always with them, even they are actually far far away from you. A big applause to technology. So I need to create one! I'm pretty sure all my friends are using smart phones.

But the group has not created until last night. Yea I know how forgetful I was. One of my friends actually created the group, and all of us are very excited. The feeling is like all of you are there. Everybody busy saying Hi, How are you, telling updates, and so on... I am so happy =) And I became like my sister (-_-) ignoring my husband. hahaha.. Usually he's the one ignore me,busy with his lappy. Now when I get busy with my phone he's the one kacau me. Jeles leteww...

Metal on teeth

Today I'm going to write about my braces. It's been almost 2 years, I'm wearing this braces. Feeling? sometimes I'm proud of myself because I took this challenge, you know it is such a difficult decision for me as I am really scare to see dentist (they are scary! ). And sometimes I fell like I hate myself for chosen to wear braces. Why? Simply, because it is going to be painful every time I have an appointment with dentist, its either during treatment or after the treatment. (-_-) poor me. But once the pain gone, I will smile to the mirror and I'm feeling proud of me. That is how I feel.

For me, to wear a braces you have to be strong and determine. It's going to be a long journey with bump here and there and there are no turning back. Once you choose to put this tiny metals on your teeth, you just bare with it. Put in mind, later you are going to have the most beautiful smiles ever. No more crooked here and there, just a straight line of shining pearls. Worth it! I bet you familiar with, "Beauty is Pain" indeed its true. No pain no gain huh.

Last two days I had an appointment with my dentist, she tighten my teeth using something she so called as 'power change'. It is just a small little plastic she put between my teeth. She's trying to close up the gap by using that 'power change'. At first I just felt a little pressure between my teeth, like when you trying to squeeze your teeth. No big deals, a moment later when I'm trying to have my breakfast, my first bite was Ouch! I can't bite!! I can't use my front teeth to bite anything. I have to break my karipap and kuih burger malaysia into small pieces. Imagine kuih burger malaysia that is so soft I cant event bite. It's really hurt, feels like im losing all my teeth if I continue biting.

This morning, after two days I still facing the same problem. I cant use my front teeth. I'm trying to have biskut kering dip in tea, but it was hard. Feels like im trying to eat plain wood. (-_-) Looks like I have to bear with this perhaps in a week. Wish me best of luck. My sister wedding is next week, I pray during that time, this pain will gone, so that I can eat a lot! hehehe.
