Resepi home made meatball

I made these sweeties on the first weekend of Ramadhan since we decided to go for Western on that day, after 3 consecutive days feasting ourselves with makanan Melayu :) This is my first time making my own meatball, and i'm telling you it was really easy peasy. Now let's take a peek at the ingredients and actions. Apart from meatball you can actually follow the same steps to make your very own chicken ball or fish balls. Simple and easy, especially for those mommies preparing healthy home-cooked food eg. soup for ur small tods :)

 MEATBALLS
minced meat - i use daging Ramly
onions

coarse black pepper
parsley - i don't hv one, so i substitute with daun sup hehe
salt to taste
flour

Actions:
1. cut the onion into small cubes.
2. slice parsley or daun sup very finely.
3. Mixed into your minced meat, add in some black pepper and salt.
4. form small balls and put some flour while making the balls to avoid it sticks to ur hand.

Wallahhh and that's it!! I then frozen my meatballs since it was still early in the morning :p
You can either grill your meatballs, or have them fried. In my case, i initially grill them using my magic pan (with lil dash of olive oil konon towards healthy cooking style :p) but then i found that it took me quite long and some more difficult to wait the balls to be fully cooked...asyik kena balik2 kan...malas punyer pasal (actually nak kejar masa sama!) i then transfer the balls into kuali and goreng!! oh yes i cheated a bit but okla at least dah buat meatball sendiri tu pon dah kira satu achievement heeeeeeee :)

balls yg gemok :p

uhh nampak sedap dan fresh! ehh kena igt pose pose!!!

makan dgn brown sauce ala Ikea style...well my brown sauce doesnt taste exactly like ikea's version but still sedap (cuma termasin sket haha nasibla nama pon pose kan mana bley rasa haishhh!)

So these are what we had during that weekend. Spaghetti bolognese, instant pizza (brand tesco, haha cheat lagi but as u can see i am not a dough expert...mane rajin and pandai nk buat pizza base sendiri), mashed potato (see my earlier post), fries and meatballs with brown sauce and blueberry jam (ok Ikea guna strawberry jam but i dont have one at home...so blueberry pon sedap tauuu).

So if u want to make chicken balls, just use some chicken breast and blend them. For fish balls, am not too sure probably orang guna ikan tenggiri kot...kembung mesti tak sedap :p For confirmatory purpose sila google!

Grilled lemon butter chicken

One of the easiest recipe yet very tasty and healthy...wajib cuba tau, especially for those yg nak cut short cooking time for other menu. Maksudnya sambil bakar ayam ni dan biar ia masak di dlm oven, anda boleh concentrate utk masak menu lain :)

Grilled Lemon Butter Chicken

1. Potong carrot dan kentang...rebus hingga separa masak.
2. Perap ayam, carrot dan kentang bersama2 dengan butter, garam, fresh rosemary (kalau takde boleh replace dgn mixed herbs), dan bawang putih yg sudah ditumbuk. Perah 1/2 biji lemon ke atas ayam tadi...gaul rata.
3. Tuang sedikit olive oil ke dalam bekas/loyang yang sesuai.
4. Susun ayam dan sayur2 tadi di dalam bekas/loyang. Tutup dgn aluminium foil dan bakar selama 1jam++ depends pada oven anda.
5. Di akhir2 sesi bakar tu boleh bukak sket aluminium foil, taburkan bawang dan tomato dan continue bakar kejap utk kasi ayam garing.

Siap!!!

 

Lemon butter chicken ni saya makan bersama dgn buttered rice dan mashed potato!

Mashed potato instant hihi

 

takdelah rajin sgt nak rebus potato dan lenyekkan2 dia...dah nama pon working moms kan semua benda kena buat dgn super fast dan efficient gitu. Instant mashed potato powder ni saya beli dekat gerai di ofis. Senang bangat sebab cuma perlu bancuh dgn air panas dan sedikit fresh milk...nak sedap bubuh garam and black pepper sket. Brown sauce dia pon dah ade siap...so bancuh dgn air panas jugak :)

 

sepeket RM12..boleh masak bykkkkk kali!

Cendawan goreng tepung anyone?

Some of the working moms out there might running out of idea what to cook for iftar after we enter into the 2nd week of Ramadhan. As for myself, i stick to my very own iftar menu that i've made since few yrs ago as reference. It will be good if you can prepare your one-week menu upfront, easier to plan what to cook for that particular day and defrost your lauk so to speak. Also it works well when it comes to groceries shopping for the week :) Well my iftar menu was not as extravagant as others i bet. Simple and fast, that's the 2 basic principles for weekdays menu hehe. So no rendang or complicated menu is on the list definitely. On weekend, i'll normally prepare something extra like dessert or so, and stock it up to last for at least a week. So far we still haven't set foot to any bazar ramadhan nearby, and i think home-cooked meals are still the best even though it may appear so simple and lack of presentation :p So back to the title, i think many of you have try to make this so-called cendawan goreng tepung before. As for me, this is my first time and the verdict? ohh i just love it!! Simple, tasty and sounds very healthy hehe

 

My version of cendawan goreng tepung. Sprinkle some salt and black pepper onto the all purpose flour. Soak the mushroom inside your beaten egg, and coat with the flour mixture. Fry for few minutes until golden brown and that's it!

 

This is my eldest favourite i.e. sotong goreng tepung. So for yesterday's iftar i had a batch of cendawan goreng tepung, sotong goreng tepung, sotong masak kicap and tenggiri goreng bercili. Uhh fully-loaded but alhamdulillah no wastage :)

Resepi kek batik

Apart from cream caramel, kek batik has also become one of our main 'compulsory' dessert during Ramadhan. So our family will stick to these 3 types of regular - kek batik, cream caramel and popia goreng! After all my specialties are only limited to these kuih, so if you ask me to make kuih pelita ke kuih lapis ke lompang ke...ouccchhh i surrender and ask hubby to resort to bazaar ramadhan instead :p

Yesterday our company has invited Ustaz Syed Kadir Al-Joofre to give a special ceramah to all the staffs. Ceramah title is 'Merungkai Roh dan Hakikat Puasa' and i'm happy to share with all of you some of the gists taken from the ceramah :

- jangan biarkan nafsu menguasai akal fikiran kita, terutama bab makanan waktu berbuka. Jangan sampai buat jamak takhir time berbuka, yakni kita kumpulkan portion mkn waktu zohor, asar dan maghrib dan buka berkali-kali ganda dari yg sepatutnya!

- Antara sebab kenapa kita hanya bersemangat utk terawikh di awal minggu ramadhan, dan jadi semakin malas towards the final week of ramadhan adalah sebab jiwa dan minda kita yg penat, bukan fizikal. Fizikal masih kuat kerana kata ustaz, di waktu ptg mesti kita akan perform sai'e di bazar ramadhan...ulang alik dari satu hujung ke satu hujung...survey makanan :p Haa kalau boleh sai'e di waktu petang, kenapa jadikan alasan malas dan penat utk ke terawikh di waktu mlm?

- Kenapa di bulan ramadhan, kita mesti nak ada makanan yg special2? contohnya wajib ada murtabak (time ni sumer org gelak ok! Anyway saya so far masih lagi belum beli murtabak setakat ini hehe), air pulak mesti bancuh air yg berkaler-kaler...haha lawak ok tapi mmg benar dan menjadi amalan kebanyakan anggota masyarakat kita betul tak? konon air berkaler utk kasik tenaga...tapi ustaz kata, nasi yg kita mkn, mee tu ke..lauk pauk...kurma...haaa sumer tu adalah source of energy jugak betul tak? yerrr betul ustaz!

- antara sebab kenapa Allah turunkan agar Perang Badar terjadi pada 17 Ramadhan adalah sebab nak kasi para sahabat kumpulkan kekuatan rohani, fizikal dan mental sepanjang 16 hari mereka berpuasa. Jika mereka berjaya melawan segala nasfu, maka secara automatik fizikal mereka bertambah kuat..maka mmg terbukti para sahabat berjaya mengalahkan kaum kafir yg jumlahnya berkali ganda lebih ramai dari org Islam.

Ok sekian sahaja intipati tazkirah dari ustaz..maksud tazkirah adalah peringatan. Maknanya kena remind berkali-kali supaya kita ingat dan amalkan :)

 Now jom kita intai resepi kek batik yg saya nak share nih. Mmg resepi yg saya dah gunakan sejak berkurun lamanya (ewahhh takdela lama begitu sekali...saya masih muda lagik tauuu tapi analoginya begitulah!) and is surely a keeper :) Saya dah adjust tahap kemanisan dia...so mmg just nice dan tidak extreme manis gitu :)

KEK BATIK

3/4 cup butter
1/2 cup susu pekat
1 cup milo
1/2 cup nestum
biskut marie secukupnya

1. Cairkan butter. Tambah susu pekat, milo dan nestum...kacau rata dan tutup api.
2. Kemudian masukkan biskut marie yg dah dipecah2 kpd 4 (quartered).
3. Tuang biskut marie ke dlm bekas/loyang/tupperware dan tekan2 dgn plastik kasik rata/even.
4. Sejukkan for few hours.
5. Keluarkan sedikit awal sebelum potong...baca bismillah dan hadaplah secara bersederhana hihi

ok gambar ni agak comot...mmg dah tinggal separuh je ni dari adunan asal...tahan la utk seminggu bagi keluarga saya...dgn syarat sehari mkn 3-4 ketul jer hehe

Ni gambar lama...tak igt tahun lepas ke bila...regular customer cum kawan saya yg order nih..dia mmg peminat tegar kek batik...tahun ni ko buat sendiri tau!

Ok back to work. Actually hari ni sangatlah tidak best buat saya...pagi2 lagi dah kena marah dek bos besar disebabkan kesalahan pihak lain....kaw kaw saya kena tempiasnya sampai berair mata nih (tapi mujur masih control lagi..dan mujurlah hari ni pakai blouse baru Amani cewahh sempat promote!). Harapan saya hari esok dan seterusnya akan lebih baik dan tidak lagi berlaku peristiwa2 hampeh yg akan membuatkan saya stress bila dikenang-kenangkan :(

Resepi Cream Caramel & Popia Goreng

Cream caramel has always become our family's 'compulsory' dessert when it comes to the Holy month of Ramadhan. It is not too light like the normal plain jelly as it contains eggs as its main ingredients, and it is certainly soothing and seriously best eaten when cold :)

As far as i can remember, i've never bought cream caramel at the bazaar Ramadhan. Simply because the selling price is very expensive, as compared to the basic cost that one needs to incur to make one. So i resorted to home made cream caramel instead, since years ago. The recipe that i'm going to share afterwards is surely a keeper, as i've altered the original recipe few times before i end up with this final version :)

CREAM CARAMEL

4 eggs
1 can evaporated milk (susu cair)
3/4 cups sugar
1tsp vanilla essence
1tsp custard powder - it's ok if you dont have this in stock...the custard is used to make the caramel becomes yellowish, so kalau takde pon takper.
6tbp sugar - to caramelized and becomes the base

The Action:
1. Caramelize the sugar on your preferred mould (loyang - i normally use an 8' round pan) over low heat. Stir frequently and do not leave it unattended or you'll end up with 'burnt' caramel sugar hihi. Leave it at room temperature and let it set.
2. Mix the rest of ingredients in a separate bowl. Then pour onto your harden caramel.
3. Cover your mould with aluminium foil, and steam for 25-30minutes.

 

The caramelized sugar will melt automatically after you finish the steaming process. You can just pour the melted caramel on top of your pudding and adjust its sweetness to your liking..nak suka manis tuang la byk caramel...if u are pretty much concern on your diabetic ker reduce kan the caramel yer!

My caramel normally can last for 4-5 days...so normally i'll do over the weekend and have it stock for weekdays buka pose consumption :) Save duit tak payah beli pencuci mulut dekat bazaar yg belum pasti rasanya sedap ke tidak :)

Our next 'compulsory' pencuci mulut is popia goreng. Apparently my father in law also loves my version of popia goreng...uhhh rasanya dah lama tak buat utk family di Kedah :(

The steps are very easy, only that the preparation time takes longer than the normal kuih as you need to cook the inti, then put inside the kulit popia and fold it nicely. Byk steps tuh :p You can cut down the whole preparation time if u have a daughter in the house to assist you to cabut the kulit popia one by one...but as for the mom of all boys like me, i am lucky to have mr hubby to take up the job scope last week :)

My version of popia goreng - scramble egg, chicken, prawn, togey, carrot and kacang buncis. Tumis dgn bawang merah and putih, put some white pepper, salt to taste...and that's it!

 Folded popia ready for stock up. Letak dlm freezer yer.

the fried ones....sedapppp! Bertambah sedap kalo pair dgn sos pencicah dari kelantan tuh...rasa manis2 pedas gitu :) errkkk terliur plak bila tgk gambar nih...ok got to off now...till then!

From Lancelin to Jeju?

Last weekend during night time after I've done with folding the clothes and ironing, i thought that i should browse through my old collection of photobook. Well i had 4 in total so that's kind of justified enough be called as 'collection' i guess :p

The kids were busy attending to their iPad, tv was on but since i'm not a tv-type person except for certain malay drama and my favourite korean drama, then watching tv wasn't really my option to kill the time before bedtime. So let's just browse the photobook then! And see what we've been up to and places we've been going to for the past few years.

Somehow i landed to this picture and the memory kicks in!

 

Us at the King's Park. It just felt like yesterday we were walking and climbing the park, embracing through the rain drops and sedikit 'ribut' that morning before we finally reached the park phewwwww. This picture is one of my favourite amongst all. It looks as if we were part of the oversea students taking pic and send it over to the daily newspaper hoping that our picture will appear in their column with ucapan 'Selamat Hari Raya' buat kaum keluarga dan sahabat handai di Malaysia! Verangannnn! isk isk

 

oh there you go...part of my geng lunch!! L-R : Semah, me, Aini and Farra. Little Maher obviously was not part of ahli geng lunch though :p We all really had fun during those days. We walked 'hampir separuh pengsan' from King's Park to the Harbour Town on our last day, dalam keadaan cuaca yg macam nak ribut dan angin sejuk yg bertiup hingga ke tulang hitam ...we finally made it. Rasa macam nak menjerit bila nampak building Harbour Town tuh!

Oh reminiscence of the old memory was not actually the highlight of today's entry. 

but .........but...................

&*&*&$^%%^%^###

The Geng Lunch will make its way to Seoul next year!!! Phewwwittttt!

Berbaloi2 bangun berjemaah pukul 4am to book the flight. Seriously we were busy 'whatspp-ing' and getting through the website to ensure we got the best deal. Paling penting, to make sure everyone booked on the same date and time! haha serius tense ok pagi tuh. I was the last one that managed to finish the booking...itula kunci alarm pukul 4am tapi bangun pukul 4.15am sape suruh :p

The same Perth clan will be travelling again together and this time we chose Seoul and Jeju Island as our next pit stop.

Why did i say pit stop?

Because i hope this is not going to be the last destination and i wish we could venture to more other places in the next few years ahead. Insya Allah :) Kata orang, dream big... aim high! cewahhh :p

I foresee the next trip will be super duper fan (and chaotic i must say!) as we have additional members registered into the group i.e. my brother (ishhh sibuk je dahla dia sorang lelaki bujang hoho) and semah's brother in law's family.

So in total we will end up with 13 adults and 12 kids. Enough to rock the plane i suppose!

It's still a long way to go, but it's good to get prepared early for ease of arrangement, reservation and what nots. Paling penting, a proper 'kitab' is required to be in place so that you can plan ahead how much to save per month from now...haha

So from today onwards.........

IT'S RESEARCH TIME FOR EVERYONE YERR!!!! 

till then...selamat berbuka! :)

Sukaneka Tadika Nur Addin, Salam Ramdhan, menu iftar :)

Panjangnya tajuk!
Kata orang, tajuk melambangkan isi kandungan. Jadinya meh kita consolidate dlm a single entry, senang kan hehe

Sukaneka Tadika Nur Addin yang ke-7 dibuat pada hari Ahad lepas. Alhamdulillah cuaca dah ok, tidak lagi jerebu, jadi sukan berlangsung dgn lancar walaupun cuaca amatlah panas terik huhu. Kali ni Firas dlm team pasukan merah, tema atau logo sorakan mereka 'Red is the champion!'. Uhh di akhir acara, mmg pasukan rumah Merah yg menang jadi juara...congrats my dear!

 

Malu2 pulak si bujang sorang nih bila suruh posing. Kat rumah bila kami tanya masuk acara apa, dia kata takde apa2. Tapi di hari kejadian, lerr rupanya ade dekat 5-6 acara yg dia kena masuk!

 

tengah Q utk dipasangkan tag pasukan merah.

 

 

Dari Idlan 3 tahun, sehinggalah sekarang Firas dah 5 tahun, kami masih setia bersama Tadika Nur Addin. Maknanya dah nak masuk 5 tahun anak2 kami dididik oleh cikgu2 di Addin. Alhamdulillah mmg kami puas hati dgn tadika nih, walaupun cikgu2 yg best seringkali bertukar ganti...tapi pengetua mereka tetap komited utk pastikan anak2 yg dihantar ke sini berjaya :)

 

Firas dan rakan2 baiknya!

 

 

Bersiap sedia utk menyanyi lagu opening. Kali ni derang pilih lagu 'Terima Kasih Cikgu' yg dlm cerita Upin Ipin tuh...mmg comel!

 

 

ammar yg setia menanti abangnya. Tahun depan ammar pulak yg akan pegi 'school' pakai baju seragam hijau kuning. How time flies!

 

 

tolong abah tolong!!!! Budak ni tergedik2 kena geletek. 

Byk lagi gambar lain dlm kamera, malas pulak nak transfer. Tapi kesimpulannya Firas punya pasukan dpt no. 1, so dptlah bwk balik gold medal. Abg Idlan agak jeles di situ, sebab dulu dia cuma penah dpt silver medal jer hihi 

Ok diam tak diam, kita dah masuk ke hari ke-3 Ramadhan...cepat kan! Alhamdulillah so far aku tak kena migrain, berkat dan hikmah bulan ramadhan tu sendiri i guess. Kalau tidak first day pose selalu kena rekod migrain :( Firas pulak buat pertama kali digalakkan berpuasa oleh cikgu2 tadika. Pesan cikgu, mereka takkan menyediakan makanan utk budak 5 dan 6 tahun, jadi mak pak kena suruh anak pose. Kalau tak larat, barulah boleh mintak kat cikgu utk berbuka. Jadi abah akan suap Firas siap2 sebelum ke tadika, dan so far dia berpuasa dari jam 8am sampailah ke 530pm. Bila aku atau si abahnya ambil dari tadika waktu petang, balik rumah tu terus dia bukak puasa makan koko krunch dan susu. Kira oklah tu, mmg good boy! Actually aku agak kesian nak suruh dia puasa betul2, sebab si bujang ni kurus yg amat...15kg je ok...kalo pose full mesti lagi kurus huhu. Ammar pulak bila ditanya 'ammar pose tak'...laju je dia jawab 'Ammar puasha lahhh!' tapi sambil jawab sambil gonggong botol susu :p

 

Popia frozen!! Aku buat ni wiken lepas, konon nak stock up utk bulan pose, tapi sebelum start pose dah habis separuh :p Takper wiken ni insya Allah akan ku buat lagi byk..caiyo caiyo!

 

 

mmg terbaik! ehh bukan perasan tau...tapi at least rasanya way much better dari yg dijual kat pasar mlm tuh. Sebab inti dia ku bubuh ayam, telur, togey, dan carrot. Esok nak tambah kacang buncis. Nak lagi sedap bubuh udang. Tapi kids ni masalahnya kalo tgk byk vege derang mesti reject punyer. Either tak layan terus, atau derang akan korek buang segala sayur-sayuran tu and susun tepi pinggan :(

 

 

Menu ramadhan day 1 - ayam masak merah feveret kids, sayur sawi, kobis & carrot masak lemak & telur dadar. Kuih pulak hubby import dari tepi tasik kat rumah kami hehe...en hubby mmg hantu kuih muih...isteri dia pulak tak reti nk buat kuih2 tradisional nih...kalo suruh buat carrot cake bley lah! hehe

 

Menu day 2 - sotong and udang goreng tepung (hubby ckp sedapppp giler pish posh pish posh kembang si isteri :p)

Dan juga ikan bawal masak kari. 

Kids langsung tak layan lauk ikan isk isk nampak gaya depa ni mmg hantu ayam jer huhu dilema betul si mama takkan nak masak lauk ayam je everyday??

Alhamdulillah di bulan ramadhan nih company kami kasik staff keluar pukul 430pm, so by 530pm dah boleh sampai rumah. Mandi2 and solat asar, kemudian terus berperang di dapur. By 715pm insya Allah dah siap masak. Tapi masalah bagi kami yg kerja di KL ni, kalau keluar lewat sikit je pon dah jem yg amat. Jadi kebanyakan dari kami dah ciow pukul 4.25pm hihi. Hey jgn tak tahu even one minute makes a lot of difference tau!!

Kepada kengkawan tersayang, Selamat Berpuasa yer. Moga kita semua kekal sihat, dan dpt menjalani ibadah puasa dgn lancar dan sempurna. Azam ku utk melaksanakan terawikh setiap mlm, solat dhuha setiap pagi, dan kalo boleh nak cuba khatam Al-Quran...kalau tak dpt khatam dpt habiskan 15-20 juzuk pon kira dah syukur :) 

Devils food chocolate cake

Last week i've announced in FB that i will stop taking cake orders due to my current workloads in office, plus it is not really easy to juggle in between house chores and baking. What more with the frequent migraine attacks that i had, i guess the body needs to have enough rest. Kalau asyik bekerja je fizikal dan mental mesti letih kan.

But the response that i received from my dear friends membuatkan diri ni rasa betul2 terharu. Some of them asked for my recipes (which i shared this blog for their future reference), some said 'jgnlaa stop baking nnt mesti rindu dgn kek rv awak', some even said 'ala yati tolongla bake utk akak..anggapla awak bake utk family sendiri jugak.' Yang ni lagi comel...'ala yati anggapla aku family ko jugak...family sestf!'

Dilema rasa...at the same time terharu sbb kengkawan suka mkn kek hasil air tangan ku yg tak seberapa ini. isk isk kalaulah kudrat ni mengizinkan, mesti order dari kengkawan akan ku fulfill selagi terdaya!

 

Anyway, this is exception that i give to my self. Order dari jiran cum colleague secompany ku yg juga merupakan antara pelanggan terawalku sedari dulu. Dari kek anniversary, ke kek birthday anak sulung, anak no 2, ke tiga dan kek utk mkn saje2...semua dia penah order dariku. Jadi kali ni bila kak nor ckp teringin sgt dgn kek devils yg ku buat utk family ku...rasa serba salah pula nak ditolak huhu. Bila ku ckp, saya dah stop accept orders...kak nor kata jgnla macam tu..kali ni jer...anggaplah bake utk family awak jugak. Bila ku kata sabtu ku agak bz, dia ckp...kalau gitu awak bake la bila2 pun akak ok jer. Jadi aku seperti sudah kehabisan alasan nak kasik pd kak nor :p

 

Maka dgn itu terjadilah devils food choc cake utk kak nor...dia whatsapp pepagi ahad, ahad ptg jugak kak nor terus dpt...sbb as i said, weekend depan aku agak bz dgn sports day firas dan kek utk pot luck ofis.

 

 

kali ni buat 3 layers yg diselang seli antara choc ganache and cream cheese. Hmm  my kids mmg suker...harap2 family kak nor pon suke jugaklah!

 

almost 99% done! Kak nor pesan tak payah susah2 nak deco..janji serupa dgn kek yg awak buat utk family awak tuh :)

 

 

ni kek yg ku buat utk family ku pada hari sabtu...

 

kek yg sama buat kak nor yg siap pada hari ahad...kiranya 2 hari berturut-turut dapur bau devils cake :p

To kak nor, dan juga kepada kengkawan yg pernah order kek dari saya, terima kasih byk2 yer atas sokongan korang semua. Kalau korang happy mkn kek air tangan saya, saya lagiklah terlebih2 happy bila dpt menggembirakan anda semua :)

Lepas ni saya akan slow down dari baking...tapi tak tahulah kot2 tahun depan semangat datang balik kan....i mean let's just go with the flow dan tak boleh nak push diri sangat beyond our limit...takmo stress2, takmo migrain2 dah! hihi nak kerja bersungguh2 dan kumpul duit pegi holiday je...yes that's the aim right now :))

Salam menyambut Ramadhan kpd semua..moga Allah beri kekuatan kpd kita semua utk optimize masa yg ada sepanjang bulan Ramadhan ni utk beribadat dan melakukan kerja2 terpuji yg dituntut olehNya. Yang belum habis ganti puasa tu, haaa sila cepat2 bertindak tauuu :)

Trick Art Museum, i City Shah Alam

Continuation from my previous entry.

After about 4 hours spent in the water park, we dragged the kids out of the pool, had our body refreshed and performed solat at its surau located next to the water park ticketing booth. Had our late lunch at the nearby Old Town White Coffee (don't order its chicken chop because the chicken portion is too small and does not justify its high price :p) and later we decided to enter the Trick Art Museum. Farra had just went to this place during the last school holiday in June and she said the attraction is highly recommended! When i wanted to pay for the ticket the girl at the booth said its RM40 for the 4 of us and i was like "ehhhhh bukan ke tiket dia RM5 jer per person?" the girl replied slowly with her guilty face...harga tiket baru je naik ke RM10 kak! Ahhhh nak buat macam mana....bayar jelah huhuhu lagipun nak tunggu masuk Trick Art museum kat Korea macam lambat lagi...June taun depan baru sampai kot?? akakakaka

 

the entrance. Tempat ni 2 tingkat...kena naik tangga utk pegi ke 2nd floor.

 

the boys' first shot...londehkan seluar orang omg sheeeshhhh!

 

me with the Monalisa

 

konon macam nak terjatuh dlm sungai :p Tapi muka Ammar blur sbb baru bgn tidur hihi

 

this looks like real!

 

 

this one also looks very real!

 

Overall tempat ni oklah...something new yang tak pernah kami pergi. Tapi kalau tanya saya, mungkin masuk sekali je kot...sebab bila masuk tu just amik2 gambar and that's it. Kalau pandai posing macam si abahnye okla...kalau keras kaku macam aku...hmm hampeh :p

Niat di hati nak tunggu sampai ke malam utk jalan2 tengok lampu...tapi kaki dan kudrat tidak mengizinkan. Dah letih main air...rasanya dari pukul 11am - 6pm kami di situ, tak mampu nak teruskan perjalanan di sekitar i City dah. Maybe next time kots!

Kids' talk on ayam masak merah

Idlan and Firas said my version of ayam masak merah was soooo sedap that they threw this idea while we were otw back home from the baking supply shop.

Firas - mama jual la ayam masak merah...mesti laku. Mama tak payah pegi work.
Idlan - a'ahhh mama tak payah buat kek dah..jual ayam masak merah je...dgn nasi lemak.
Mama - nak jual berapa eh?
Firas - mama jual la...2 singgit 2 singgit!
Mama - huishhh murahnya mane boleh. Mama rasa nak jual seketul RM3 ok tak....kalau dgn nasi lemak, jual RM4.50 kot...sama macam pakcik yg jual tuh. Tapi mama nak jual kat mane eh?
Firas - emmmm mama jual lah tepi tasik tuh..nanti kita cakap babah!
Idlan - a'aaahh tak sabar nak tanye babah..boleh tak mama tak payah pegi work..jual ayam masak merah jer kat tepi tasik tuh.
Mama - sape nak tolong mama nanti kat gerai?
Idlan - kitorang tolong lah!
Mama - idlan tak malu ke tolong mama? tak malu nanti orang cakap....eiii mama awak jual ayam masak merah!
Idlan - eh tak malu lah...kawan idlan pun ada yg tolong mama dia dekat gerai. Mama dia jual kuih, nasi, etc.

p/s: Terharunya mama bila dengar! kelakar pon ade sebab diorang tak sabar nak beritahu abahnya pasal idea ni bila abah balik petang nanti!

Anyway, now i know my eldest top most favourite is ayam masak lemak while Firas loves ayam masak merah very much that he asked me to cook the same dish every day. My lil Ammar? oh that boy suker anything that comes with carrot!!
