Dark Choc Brownie

Introducing a new addition to my kitchen's family.
This is a 5 litre Bhalaria stainless steel mixing bowl.
Bought by hb during our last visit to Parkson Alamanda.
Since it was a courtesy from mr hb, i let him to decide on the color, so orange it is then.

Lovely isn't it? But i bet my kitchen will become extra merrier if somebody got for me a new mixer don't u think so? ahaksss :))

Officially launched with a cekodok batter! Mesti u ols ckp adoiii gambar wat cekodok pon mau tunjuk ka?? hehe sori la u ols, cekodok is one of hb's all-time favourite, so i just couldn't help from not taking pic of this batter! hehe. Sape nak resepi cekodok sedap angkat tangan yer :p

Anyway, this is my all-time favourite plaks. Dark choc brownie aka The Baked Brownie by Matt Lewis...made for my ofismate. Please click the label 'resepi' for a copy of this recipe yer!!

Esok cuti panjang kan? have a nice long weekend ahead ya peeps.

We're going to Bukit Merah early tomorrow morning yey!!

Ammar..permata hatiku yg manja

Sangat manja…manja…dan manja!

Itulah Ammar..anak bongsu kami yg kini hampir mencecah usia 16 bulan.

Pagi tadi, dia menangis ketika aku tinggalkan dia di taska. Cebik muka, kemudian keluar suara mendayu-dayu, kemudian keluar air mata. Aduh sayu hati mama! Sebelum itu, sempat lagi mama bf kan dia dlm kereta di depan pintu taska. Tak sampai hati nak tinggalkan dia sebab dia dah menyondol2kan muka ke ehem ehemmm mama :p Walaupun masa keluar dari rumah, dia sebenarnya happy & busy duduk atas riba dan pegang stereng kereta..konon nak drive sama2 dgn mama…siap tepis tangan mama tu!!



Mama sudah habis sidai kain...tapi dia masih mahu bermain di luar. Tak heran pun bila grill dikunci. Tapi bila mama tutup pintu, meraung terus!

senyuman dia yg selalu buat hati mama & abah cair!


Hari selasa, mama pulang lambat ke rumah..sampai hampir waktu Maghrib. Time mama nak keluar dari kereta, dia dah melambai2 dari grill rumah…muka sayu dia tuh, adusss macam tak jumpa mama setahun! Bila mama jejak jer kaki ke dlm rumah, terus dia peluk. Daya pelukan tu, memang betullah seolah-olah sudah setahun kami terpisah!


Sebenarnya bukan hari Selasa je, hari-hari lain pun begitu. Si kecil sorang ni lain dari abang2 dia. Memang pantang berenggang dgn mama. Bila mama hilang depan mata, pasti dia sibuk mencari. Bila tak jumpa, menangis. Bila dah jumpa, terus gelak dan main seperti biasa. Lakonan semata-mata bukan? Mama rasa, tahap bonding dan attachment tu terlalu kuat antara kami..mungkin kerana penangan breastfeeding, kami jadi rapat.


Tapi apa2 pun..mama tetap sayang semua..sama rata, tiada yg lebih, tiada yg kurang. Semuanya permata hati mama dan abah. Moga kalian semua sentiasa dilindungiNya.
Ini abang2 Ammar. Sangat rapat, walaupun bila bergaduh, pasti ada salah seorang yg menangis. Byk perkara yg mereka lakukan bersama..baju pun selalu sedondon. Cuma time solat, abang long takdelah pakai 'mask', sebab abang long dah matured :)


Love,

mama yg extra happy hari ini :)

birthday nek umi & atok

Alhamdulillah, last weekend we managed to gather once again to celebrate nek umi & atok's birthday, just like what we did in previous years. It was not merely for cake-cutting actually (some more it's org tua punyer birthday pulak tuh haha), but to see the happy faces of our kids and atok dan nenek mereka...that's priceless!

DFCC in action! Last year during idlan's birthday my mom had mentioned that she would like me to bake the same cake for her on her birthday....nanti dik nur buatkan kek yg sama camni ok, takyah beli dekat secret recipe dah...yg ni lagi sedap, nanti umi bayar.
Ya Allah terharunye bila dengar time umi ckp tuh....siap nak bayar lagi..apela umi nih! huhu

They share the same month for birthday, my mom on the 14th while papa on 31st of January

My initial plan was to combine strawberry & maltesers, tapi terlupa plak beli si maltesers tuh iskkk hence i just settled with choc chips instead! Those beautiful and fat strawberry are korean strawberries...rasa serius sedap...sweet gitu! Ammar pun siap pulun 2-3 ketul ari tuh :)

cucu-cucu line-ups for cake cutting. Missing in pic is Huzaifah.

Just to recap...seronok plak bila godek gambar2 lama dlm lappy nih. This was back in 2010 where firas was just 2yrs. Kek cantik sebab beli kat kedai hehe...

and this is the cake for last year...also bought from kedai sebab mama busy time tuh...ammar still small during that time hence i felt too lazy to go into kitchen and bake any cakes...even a simple muffin is too taxing for me haha

love this pic very much!!

ammar in Jan 2011...3 months++

To Umi & Papa,
Selamat Hari Jadi. Moga Allah panjangkan umur, murahkan rezeki dan menempatkan umi & papa di kalangan org2 yg beriman. Kami semua sayanggggggg umi & pa!!!

4th day

Alhamdulillah idlan was happy at school today. Syukur syukur!
He had PJK on the last 1/2 hour before the school ended. They played football and he became the goalkeeper. The team won as he only failed to catch the opponent's shot once only. Final score 2-1..that's a good start son!

Last night, he murmured slowly...kan best kalau cuti sekolah sebulan mama hantar idlan balik kampung. Boleh main bola dgn Zafran ngan Danish (read: his cousins). :p

And he also told me that his friend AA tak solat. He told his class teacher about the matter, and the teacher reported to AA's mom, and that AA got scolded back at home by his mom.

Uhhhh tergelak kami dgr...tapi mama and abah dah pesan lain kali jgn suka report2 macam tu lagi...kalau tahu dek kawan habis dia!!

my hobby...that is baking!

Told a friend in our email conversation earlier this morning, I’d rather chose making cakes rather than lecturing. Though lecturing seems to be easy for some people (for instance, my hb hehe), I find it to be quite scary and tough. Especially if you couldn’t get the message thru and that your students couldn’t capture your points, worst he or she couldn’t understand you at all haha!

So here is me, ‘makan gaji’ in this beloved company still, of which I’ve served for nearly 9 years. But nevertheless, baking is still my passion, and I’ll always find the me-time to sneak into the kitchen and do some baking activities. It’s my passion, hence I give no excuse despite occasionally i so want to lie in bed and take a nap instead of mixing the sugar and eggs. Some people may find it good to just lay on her sofa and do some reading, but I find it more enjoyable to sift the flour, or melting the chocolate, or see my muffin ‘rise and shine’ and crack inside the oven haha!

Okla enough the crap! This is the Baked Brownie made for hb for our last anniversary (actually for me coz I love this brownie soooo much that I couldn’t stop munching them!)….

and the Devil’s Food Chocolate Cake made for a friend’s birthday. Isn’t it pity for you to order a birthday cake for yourself? Hehe for my case, lagi kesian since I baked my own birthday cake for my birthday! :p But the happiness and joys upon seeing your kids cutting the cakes, that was priceless isn’t it??

Hepi Besday beb!! Moga ko bahagia selalu…and success selalu!!

Notice the white turn-table? That is my latest addition to mr kitchen, after years of baking only now terbukak hati mau beli :p

an evening in Alamanda

It's been a while since our last outing to Alamanda. So hb took us there yesterday for lunch, right after the husband and wife done with all the house chores….kata org berat sama dipikul, ringan sama dijinjing :)

my boys in purple, our official outing theme :p

ammar with that blurry looks. first time naik benda alah ni kat alamanda...

abang idlan monitoring ammar hehe

firas really insisted us to go here which he called as 'hutan'. Nice view isnt it?

eating strawberry chocolate stick but one pc selamat jatuh dlm kolam tu!

happy faces after few dose of choc marshmellow sticks!

a pic tells thousand words...ni kes penat tak hingat sepanjang 4 hours of outing ngeh ngehh

p/s: Now bila outing agak tak menang tangan especially bila Ammar dah pandai jln and running here n there. Ini budak sgt galok bila terlepas dr stroller. Berlari tak igt org tak pandang kiri kanan dah..menonong je sesuke hati! Siap main cak cak dgn crew2 dekat al-Ikhsan semlm :p
