Eiqa n Acam

Happy Anniversary Eiqa and Acam

Eiqa ordered these cuppies to celebrate the anniversary with her bf Acam.... Eiqa kata deco macam mana pun tak apa asalkan ada nama dia and her bf.... so fikir punya fikir ini lah hasil cuppies for their special day...

Masa Eiqa collected the cuppies at home, I was not at home... So tak dapat jumpa both of them. We used to be neighbour, masa to Eiqa masih sekolah rendah... Selalu juga Eiqa melepak kat my house sebab Eiqa ni same age with my eldest daughter. Then, Eiqa's family moved to Poland sebab her father kena bertugas di sana dan kami sekeluarga pulak berpindah rumah...

I hope Eiqa suka dengan cuppies ni...



Man Vs Food @ Sakae Sushi

Tak tau kenapa, this month mcam having Japanese Food Fair... Almost every week we were having Japanese food for lunch and dinner. The latest dinner was at Sakae Sushi located at Subang Parade. Initially we were planning to have our dinner at Furin Japanese Restaurant located at Holiday In, Kuala Lumpur Glenmarie. Unfortunately, that nite, they were only serving buffet dinner. My family and I felt that buffet dinner is too much for us.... We just want ala carte dinner..... Dinner tak mau berat sangat... Yea right!!!!

So we left Furin and heading to Subang Parade. We decided to have our Japanese food dinner at Sakae Sushi... A restaurant with green frog logo.... Soo cute..

Cute kan......

Mula2 cuak juga nak makan kat sini, takut radiation, but upon reading Sakae Syshi statement, we were ok.... Takut juga dengan kesan radiation......

Aiman

Afiqah and Batrisyia

California Roll, Afiqah's fav

Ebi Tempura, Batrisyia's fav

Grilled Chicken for Aiman. Aiman is allergy with seafood (his statement, but in actual fact he dislike fish...), and he can't eat sushi

Octopus

Party Set

The Party Set is really torturing us... It was servered in big plate meant for 4 - 6 people. When we ordered this set, I thought it was for 2 - 3 people. We only realised when the waiter delievered the set to us in the huge plate!!! We were having tough time to finish up the whole plate..... Banyak sangat... susah nak habiskan, tapi malas nak tapau. Kalau bawa balik pun tak ada orang nak makan... So my Hubby and I decided to finish up the whole plate!!!! Agaknya macam ni lah perasaan Adam Richman dalam Man Vs Food show. But we are not Adam Richman....Apa yang dia makan nampak sedap sangat...

Carrot n Pineapple Cake

Carrot cake

 I love it... Batrisyia ate it... Afiqah tasted it.... Aiman did not even touch it...

I baked carrot cake before..... then last week end, I stumbled upon this recipe... Carrot and Pineapple... hrmm seems interesting.... My carrot cake recipe only need carrot and walnut.... but this new recipe require carrot, pineapple, raisin and walnut,,,,


The result??? I loved it.... Batrisyia like it... Afiqah said taste ok, but she didn't like the raisin...(She didn't eat raisin, any type of raisin....).  Aiman?? He only ate Chocolate Cake.... I brought it to the office... Habis, and the review given by my office mate was encouraging... Now, I have decided to use the new recipe instead of my previous one...

Lunch at Tokyo Tengu

It was during Wesak Day... May daughters and I as usual were having our girls day out... My son decided to stay at home, while my hubby was at work... Then we decided to have Japanese food for lunch, and made arrangement with my hubby to have lunch at the Tokyo Tengu located at Kelab Golf Negara Subang... Since my son was not having lunch with us, we bought take away food for him...

I like the ambiance at this restaurant as it is very quite and meant only for members.... The food are good with reasonable price....

Ebi Tempura for Batrisyia

Salmon Soba for truly yours

Salmon Teriyaki for Afiqah

Tempura Udon for my Hubby

Sedap kan....

Dinner at Kassa Corner

Last week, my family and I had our dinner at Kassa Corner, located at Putra Height. That was our first time having dinner at this restaurant, and definitely not the last... Good place to dine, fast services, good food with reasonable price.

My daughter used to buy baju kurung for hari raya at Kassa Collection, and that night we asked the owner whether we can get further discount as a loyal customer. To our surprise the guy told us they are planning to do so.... Ok, we will bring the reusable Kassa Collection bag during our next visit to Kassa Corner...

Happy Mother's Day

Today is Mother's Day and is celebrated in more than 50 countries in the world. Other countries celebrated on different date, different month of the year. If you need to know more, kindly click here.

Unfortunately for me and my sisters, our beloved mom left us 20 years ago. She succumbed to cancer, started with colon cancer and within 2 years, the cancer spread to her liver… Missed her sooo much…

The only thing that I can do is to pray for her. As stated in Islamic Voice, the best prayer, or dua’, to say for our deceased parents, and even when they are alive, is that which God has taught us in the Qur’an: “‘My Lord, bestow on them Your grace, even as they reared and nurtured me when I was a child.” (17: 24)

Another prayer is that mentioned in the Qur’an as said by the Prophet Noah: “My Lord! Grant forgiveness to me and to my parents.” (71: 28)

If you combine the two, you will be acting on the Prophet’s (Pbuh) advice and saying the best prayers for them. We normally say this prayer at the end of each prayer, whether obligatory or recommended, just before we finish the prayer with salam. But it can be said at any time: The more often the better.

Emak, I really missed you.....

Spaghetti Tomyam

Zen by Secret Recipe’s Thai Spaghetti

My office colleague and I always had our lunch at Sooka, KL Sentral. Banyak pilihan... Kadang2 jemu juga asyik makan di Cafe at the office. One of the makan place that we always visited is Zen. My friend always ordered Zen's Thai Spaghetti and it looks sooo delicious. Unfortunately, I can't take prawn. It smells sooo good and make me drooling all over...... (am I drooling??? A bit of exaggeration... hehe)

So, one day I decided to cook spaghetti with Thai flavour at home. I have to try this at home, since I can't have have it at Zen, might as well I cook it, homemade and cook with love... Paling teruk pun anak2 tak mahu makan...

 

I took some photos, but unfortunately not all.... Masa tu nak cepat, sebab Abang nak pergi tuition, so ambil gambar mana yang sempat je...

Broccoli yang di rendam di dalam iced water

Rebus broccoli. Bila masak, angkat dan immediately rendam di dalam iced water. Bila rendam sayur sayuran yang telah di celur di dalam iced water, warna sayur tetap kehijauan... Cantik sikit. Carrot pun saya rebus dan rendam di dalam iced water. Color tetap menarik....

Panaskan olive oil dan tumis bawang dan bawang putih yang telah di cincang (or kisar).

Masukkan serai dan cili api yang telah di titik. Saya cuma masukkan sedikit cili api sebab Adik tak suka pedas. Tapi kalau tambah lebih sedikit mesti sedap.... lagi pedas lagi sedap...

Bila sudah kekuning kungingan, masukkan isi ayam yang telah di potong dadu. Kalau tak suka ayam, boleh di ganti dengan seafood.... I am sure kalau tambah udang mesti sedap kan... tapi malang bagi saya, saya tak boleh makan udang. Kalau makan di luar dan saya tak makan udang, mesti orang tanya. Kenapa tak makan udang? Bila saya jawab, alergi, derang tanya apa jadi... Sekarang ni kalau orang tanya, saya jawab: "kalau makan udang dan ketam, susuk kat muka saya nanti jatuh berguguran, muka jadi hodoh, semua orang nanti takut, dan tak mahu makan dengan saya"

Bila ayam dah masak, masukan tomyam paste. Tumis sehingga tomyam paste masak.

 

Masukan spaghetti. Gaul rata.

Masukan tomato dan daun limau purut. Gaul rata.

Masukan broccoli dan carrot. Gaul sehingga sebati. Tanbahkan garam secukup rasa.

Setelah masak, padam api dan hidangkan....

Enjoy!!!!!
