Salam Aidilfitri 2014

We have been tested with so many things happen during Ramadan.The world was shocked with few air incidents that involved three air planes crashed so far.It is a big sadness for the aviation industry.Let us together pray for the best. Not forgetting for Gaza, that has been attacked by the Israel.We all want a peace and harmony life. So,please stop violence and war.

Hari Raya is getting nearer, just a few days left. I would like to take this opportunity to wish all Muslims Salam Aidilfitri and drive safely to your hometown.This year, I will celebrate my hari raya at my husband side, Sungai Merab and will leave for Penang on the 3rd of hari raya. I can't really wait to eat all the delicious foods especially ketupat and rendang , my grandma homecook.

Our rule for this year is not to buy any kuih raya and yes, we did it. I baked by my own.Those are cornflakes cookies,almond london and the latest one is red velvet cookies. Lastly ,enjoy this cute picture edited by someone, princess Elsa and Anna wearing hijab :)

Cross Underscarf by Arzu

Salam ,

I had a break-fast yesterday at the 'The Apartment',KLCC with my husband's colleague. My husband fetched me at home and we reached KLCC around 630pm. The traffic was a bit heavy at some places. Since we have some time before 'berbuka', I managed to go to Arzu to survey scarfs and other stuffs.As you know, Arzu scarfs are quite pricey but they come with good quality. I can say it worth it to buy once you fall in love with the scarf/shawl. No regret :)

Unfortunately, there was no discount or promotion. But I did fall in love with the cross under-scarf that Arzu offered.Each of it is at RM30 but if you purchase 4, the price will be RM100 which you can save about RM5 for each pieces. So, I choose 4 colours that are light blue,pink belacan,purple and royal blue.I hope there will be a BIG SALE soon,so I can grab few pretty shawls from them :)

Back to our break-fast event, I don't think so I need to tell much but to share about the foods served will be a great thing ya. People love to eat, especially Malaysian. So, I did captured some photos, of course food photo :). Mostly likely The Apartment offered a traditional Malay food as well as western. Numbers of dessert to be choosen , the taste not bad. Anyway,let the pictures tell you the story.

This is my first round

variety of kerabu

Sambal belacan,budu,cencaluk..semua pon ada.

Desserts

Not so much drink to choose

One of my fav. section, but the portion is way too small :)

And that was the first time me and my husband break our fast outside.

By the way, not forgetting the whole world was shocked with a tragic tragedy that again happen to MAS flight. MH17 was shot-downed .Condolence to all the victim families


Al-fatihah to MH17 & keep praying for MH370.

Nuzul Al-Quran Holiday

It's the end of world up fever and it's also the end of my short holiday at my hometown. My husband and I spent these 4 days to look up for our "raya" preparation.So,here is a little bit story of my routine in Penang.

12/7/2014-Saturday
We went to Queensbay Mall to look for 'baju raya'.Actually, we had bought few before 'puasa' at Midvalley but we need more because we don't really spend our money for clothes if there is no any festive related.I can say we seldom buy clothes.But here is another story.Our main plan actually was to look for baju raya, but secara tak sengaja we uols ter'divert' and terbeli barang lain.When there is DAISO, it's compulsory for me to enter that shop.I love DAISO branch in QB Mall more.Pilihan lagi banyak compared to other branches even in KL pon sometimes tak banyak pilihan.And of course I grabbed few things.So, we alls jalan-jalan and keluar masuk kedai and tak ada yang berkenan di hati.QB Mall tu besar nak mampus pon tak ada yang berkenan ye, so don't force yourself to buy it.Nak tahu apa yang berkenan di hati kami ? Those are comforter set and also katil..I told ya,kami dah divert kami punya main plan :)

Di jadikan cerita, as we walked around I saw AKEMI shop.Normally memang segan nak masuk sebab as we know harganya mostly expensive kalau tak ada discount.This time memang tertarik nak masuk sebab nampak less sampai 80%..Melampau sangatkan ?!!!Haruslah usha apa yang ada.So, tengok-tengok and belek-belek memang ada yang berkenan di hati. We checked the price with the sales assistant,surprisingly lagi murah dari beli dekat Mid Valley hari tu, only RM130 for the whole set.Ok what,not bad. We grabbed one!

Next was Harvey Norman.Memang alang-alang dah nampak Harvey Norman tu,kami saja nk usha-usha sofa.Nak survey-survey harga,balik KL senang terus shoot ke kedai.Lain yang kami cari, lain yang kami berkenan. It was bedding frame that caught our eyes and heart..hahaha..Seriously, the bedding frame was so beautiful and the price of course thousands.Then, we checked the price with the sales assistant and the best part the price is before discount.Harvey Norman is having some kind of promo now ,where when you buy  one item, you will get 30% off, two with 40% and three with 50% off. Discussion after discussion, so we decided to take that bedding frame since they can deliver it to our house Subang. Actually, the ware house is also from central , that should be no problem.As mentioned by them, it takes 2 weeks for the delivery.

Katil idaman qalbuuu..:)

The conclusion is we don't buy any clothes here as planned , but bedding set as unplanned :)

13/7/2014 - Sunday
Again,our main plan was the same, no change , to buy additional baju raya.Today,we went to AEON where it was re-located at Alma, nearer to my house!This AEON is bigger compared to the one in PERDA , more shops and Sushi King was there too :) A lot of new shops here such as BRAND OUTLET , KITSHEN ,PADINI and more.The food court also came in bigger space.Once again, we faced the same problem as Saturday. Many cloth shops however tak ada yang berkenan.Kalau ada yang berkenan pon,tak ada size pulak.Hurm....But I managed to grab a pair of yellow wedges at Vincci.Why yellow?Sebab sama dengan tema baju raya this year :)

I saw Cosway.I dropped by to buy few things.Beside Cosway,there is Court Mammoth outlet.We usha-usha sofa, sekali ada berkenan.Sekali lagi buat kerja gil,beli dari sini,penghantaran ke KL.Wow!Galak pulak shopping cenggitu ye.Anyway,sofa yang kami beli ni boleh pilih kaler or the other name, you can design by your own.Nak tema rumah ke, apa ke, pon boleh.No additional charges.So,warna fuchsia menjadi pilihan  hati bagi menaikkan keceriaan ruang tamu kami yang berdindingkan warna off-white.

We choose this pattern

Combination of Fuchsia colour for our sofa

Kesimpulanya, rumah ke nak raya , tuan rumah yang nak raya ? :p

14/7/2014- Monday
Memandangkan hari ni final world cup,makanya aku layan lah jugak masa waktu bersahur.Nanti tak ada la kat office orang bercerita aku blur2 jer kan.Lepas sahur, aku solat subuh dan terus sambung tido smpai tengah hari.hahahah.Bila lagi nak buat macam ni?waku cuti jerlah boleh :)

Bila dah tengah hari,baru sibuk-sibuk nak ke pekan.So,kami start dengan ke Tabung Haji.Memang asal aku balik kampung ja,mesti nak pegi bank.Kalau kat Subang,susah sikit nk cuti/time off bagai,.Tak berapa kuasa la mak.Since hari ni hari bekerja,urusan kami semuanya berjalan lancar.Dari Tabung Haji ke Maybank ke TM Point , tak ramai orang. Masa menunggu pon tak lama.Lepas semuanya selesai,we shoot to Sunway Carnival Mall.Kat sini ada Parkson,nasib baik ada yang berkenan di hati.Both of us managed to get pairs of jeans/trousers. Less pon not bad kat sini,some items are at 70%.

So,that's my story.Sebelum sampai ke Subang dala perjalanan dari Penang,kami sempat singgah tengok perkembangan rumah di Ipoh.Alhamdullilah, dah byk siap.Cepat jugak progress dia. So far sangat berpuas hati beli dengan MK Land.

Hope to see you guys in the next entry ya :)

Pasta/Noodle Maker

Hey hey hey

Update live from Penang ya!Just arrived here about 11pm just now.We had our iftar at R&R Tapah.Luckily, it was not crowded.

Orait, this entry was hold about 2 weeks.I had no time to update this before but I have to update it by today , no matter what, because I know later on this entry will not be done. So here we go, an update and review about a new toy in my kitchen , it is called "Pasta/Noodle maker".

Yea, I really love to have/buy something related to my kitchen because as you know, I love cooking. That's my hobby since I was in high school.That's why I owned an online bakery now :)

This toy was purchased from Groupon.The discounted price is RM38 including delivery.

This is how it looks like from outside

The real thing , comes in with 5 types of mould

 So, my first experiment was to make 'laksa noodle'.The recipe is simple, only 3 ingredients required and those are rice flour,multi-purpose flour and hot water. Mix all the ingredients until it turns to dough and you are done on the first step.Second step is to shape the dough.Divide the dough into 2, insert one of it  into the pasta/noodle maker.Make sure you choose the right hole size to make 'laksa noodle. I choose the biggest hole that available, however it's up to your choice.Before that, please ensure that you prepare a pot of water on the stove and let it boiled. Now,it's time to shape the dough.You just need to rotate the handwheel into the boiling water.You will know when the noodle is ready once it's floating.Anyway, sorry I did not took any photo during the making of this noodle.It was just my first try.Here is an only photo was taken. 

Homemade laksa noodle

I will make a special entry how to make homemade laksa noodle soon , once I found the right/best recipe ya:)

~Good Night , Sweet Dream ~

Ramadan Jangan Pergi

Jarang sangat Ezzy nk terjebak dengan drama dalam slot Samarinda.Tp drama kali ni betul2 buat  I melekap depan tv,tak boleh skip even 1 second ok.Pelakon yang ditampilkan memang sangat berbakat dan membawa wakat yang sangat membawa effect kepada penonton.

Salah seorang pelakon dalam drama ni adalah Fir Rahman.Igtkan dia pelakon baru but he's from Singapore.Mungkin juga dah lama bertapak lama di Singapura and this is his first drama in Malaysia.Lakonan dia sangat menjadi!sampaikan ramai penonton benci sangat dekat si Johan tu,so do I.Dekat si Farah(lakonan Siti Saleha) tu pon geram jugak,baik tak bertempat.Sampaikan suami pijak kepala pon ikut je cakap.Agaknya ada ke isteri macam tu kat dunia zaman sekarang?

Hari ni merupakan episod ke-8 and I can't wait to watch it.Kalau drama ni disiarkan hari-hari pon best!Sebab setiap episod yang akan datang mesti ternanti-nanti tanpa kesabaran.Hopefully,ending cerita ni akan menyatukan semula Johan dan Farah.Banyak pengajaran dalam cerita ni bagi yang hidup berkeluarga :)

Anyway,comel pulak tengok Siti Saleha tu bertudung ye.Sesuai sangat gandingan Siti Saleha dengan Catriana Ross sebagai ibu dan anak.Sangat sepadan!

Jom,bagi sesiapa yan belum layan cerita ni or terlepas,uols boleh tengok dekat Tonton ye :)Drama ni best , serius tak tipu tau.

See ya!

Sewing Machine GSM-505

Salam and Hi to all,

I hope it's still not too late to wish "Happy Fasting" as we are soon entering into the half of Ramadhan.

In this post,I will not write much about fasting month because I will make another entry about that soon.

But today,I would to write a review about a sewing machine that I purchased from Lazada. It's a GLOBAL brand,model GSM-505. Untungkan Lazada ada customer macam ioulss,dah berapa barang beli dgn Lazada pon dah tak igt,quite a lot.This time I managed to purchase via COD method.

Orait,this sewing machine came in square box and was sealed very tight with cling wrap.For beginner like me,you don't have to worry much macam mana nak pasang benang pada mesin sebabnya factory dah siap2 pasangkan.Kira sangat ok la kan untuk beginner yg tak tahu menjahit and exited macam iols ni.Terus2 dpt nak jahit :).Nak bukak manual pon malas but you have too ya :)

This is the first look after you open the box.There are 8-types of stitching pattern.More than enough untuk yg pemalas menjahit macam I:). Also available small light near to tempat menjahit.

Below are the functions of this machine (as far as I know for these 2 days,without looking at the user manual) :-

1. There are  2 ways to run the machine.One is by foot pedal and another by button function where you just ON the button and you can just focus on your stitching.
2. Small compartment/drawer at the bottom right side where you can keep small things inside that.
3. Small light near the stitching point
4. Small cutter on the left side,no need to use scissor
5. 8-types of stitching patterns.Awesome,huh!
6. Reverse function

I believe there should be more functions if I open the user manual :) So, as you can see on below picture is the example of stitching that I've tested.Not bad at all!

If you ask me,would I like to recommend this to someone else ? And I would say YES!With the price of RM168,this machine is just worth to buy.

I hope my short review will help those who looking for simple yet compact machine like this :)

Good Night :)

Hair Relaxing

So, I decided to go for hair relaxing for my chemical hair treatment.Memang dah lama gila tak buat chemical treatment since I got married.Before this ada buat rebonding twice,that was during uni-life.Tapi after 1 year rebonding,kepala mesti gatal2 and garu kepala dah macam kera..hihihi.Then,dah serik nk buat those kind of treatment lagi,but since dah lama sangat tak buat, why not I try?But this time is relaxing, more natural look.

I purchased this hair package treatment from Groupon which is at RM98 for rebonding/relaxing + wash + cut + blow.I chose a saloon near to my house, D Estilo Studio Hair located at SS15 , just opposite Joe's Kitchen.I've set my appointment at 6pm on last Friday.From office memang pecut tahap gaban sebab takut terlambat.Luckily, I've reached there a few minutes before 6pm :)

I was entertained by a chubby girl,quite talkative.So,she wash my hair before the relaxing process started. After washed, she put the chemical cream on my hair and set it for about 20 minutes and rinse.Followed by hair straightening and repeat putting the cream on my hair and set another 20 minutes, and rinse.The process is lesser than rebonding process.Anyway, I've add on another hair treatment to maintain hair moisturize.Then,my hair was blown followed by hair-cutting.I wanted to have a high layer hair-cut, however the hairstyler did not recommend. Somehow, I tried to push her to cut my hair layered as I need to reduce my weight on my head.I was told not to wash my hair for 2 days which is 48 hours to make sure the chemical will fully absorb into my hair.Overall, it took about 3 1/2 hours for the hair relaxing.

Disebabkan sekarang musim bahang dan my hair lepas straighten dah nak sampai pinggang, I washed my hair after 24hours(which is dah langgar pantang larang..hik3).Seriously, I cannot tahan and rimas with my hair yang tak basuh and the smell of the chemical.Tengok jerla lah nanti rambut relaxing ni tahan berapa lama sebab dah langgar pantang larang,but so far it looks good.I will update in the next few months :).Masa basuh rambut,I shampoo-ed and put conditioner on my hair, followed with hair serum . Malam sikit I put some coconut oil to keep my hair moisturized and will wash on the next day.

For those yang biasa try rebonding, you should give a try on relaxing pulak u will get natural result instead of flat hair.However, split end relaxing is not as pretty as rebonding.This is what I experienced so far. Will update soon more if I have new story on my hair relaxing :)

Ceramic Plate & Container on 80% discounts!

Sales!Sales!Sales!

It's the Grand Sales at Parkson.I believe everyone loves sales, especially ladies.And lately I'm a bit like makcik-mackik,suka kumpul barangan dapur macam small kitchen appliances and pinggan mangkuk.

Dijadikan cerita,one my colleague did share about this ceramic plate sales that happen in Subang Parade.Most of the items are 80% less. I can say the price is quite cheap,although if they cheat the actual price.

So, I went to Subang Parade alone after work. Yes,memang sangat rambang mata.Macam nak beli semua I tell you.Ada macam-macam saiz & bentuk. I managed to grab few of it on last Friday.Nak beli banyak-banyak pon, no one to help you to carry those heavy ceramic.Total bankrupt on the first day is plus minus RM71. 

That square ceramic container of course for baking brownie

Not forgetting,there were also antique unique English style set of cups and plates. Sangat cute with that pastel colours(my all the time fav.colours)!But only 20% less.Wait until 70%-80%, then only I will buy :)

Sesuai sangat utk hidang cake for tea time :)

While on Saturday since my husband was around, I brought him together on the second round shopping for the ceramic container.This time I can choose a bigger size container sebab ada orang boleh tolong angkat and bawa kan.Thanks to my husband for paying this.I love you always.

Pie plate is only at RM15..very cheap OK!The oval one of course for potato gratin.The 2 small square containers for fork & spoon.

If you wish to grab some,there are still more time.The sales are still running until 14th May 2014. 2 more days left!

Mee Suah Soup

Anyone here loves mee suah?Yes,I do.I never know mee suah before, until I get married and my family-in-law used to cook mee suah for dinner.The texture is very thin & smooth , and the best meal to have with is soup.I believe this is Chinese noodle.But, somehow I have a mee suah recipe to share here.It's my own recipe which I think it tastes good.

3. Lastly,add some salt & black pepper to taste.
4. Ready to eat.

Update on Sawi & Bayam

My sawi and bayam have been grown so well lately.This is my 3rd time I planted these two plants and they grew like a winner.I harvested my bayam so many times already for cooking.And for sure it save a lot our money, plus we got the chance to taste fresh vegetable picked just from our garden.I really enjoy my gardening with my husband.We are lucky that we have some space for gardening.More update to share soon once other plants are ready :)

My Ridiculous Celcom Bill

I got heart attack this few days.You know why?Because I received message from Celcom saying that my current bill is at RM1561.14. That is ridiculous.I seldom make calls from my cellphone, and how come the bill jumps so high.And on the next day,another message from Celcom and the bill keep increasing day by day.As of today,my bill already reach at almost RM2k.

I already lodged my report to Celcom when I first received the message from Celcom.Unfortunately, they can't check and trace. I have to wait until 5th March where it is the date of the closed account.At the mean time,they open my line back to normal so that I can make call.

Since I'm not satisfied with this incident, I decided to go the Celcom Cube at Sunway Piramid to ask/check directly with the customer service.They suspect this is because of the data plan that I used at Thailand.However,I still have to wait until 5th March and Celcom will decide either to charge the data plan at RM38/day or otherwise.

I hope Celcom will only charge me at RM38/day because I already follow the correct way to use data plan in Thailand, and this is not the first time I used data plan outside Malaysia.For those who is going to Thailand in the future,you guys have to really be carefully on this.

My ridiculous bill**heart-attack**

Macaroon Class

Hello,

It's been a while! There are so many things and stories to share but I have little time.Since I have free time now,let me share with you what I did on last Sunday.

As many of you know, one of my passion is baking. Insyallah, I'll be back in track soon.I attended a macaroon class at Lea Oven near USJ 12 last Sunday.This is my first class after a year I left my baking days due for some reasons.Lea Oven offered special price for her ex-student like me, which is about RM20 less for this macaroon class.

There were 9 students inside the class that come in different background, but we share the same passion, that is baking.Our class started at 10am until 3pm.I have learnt few tips & techniques to create character macaroon during the class.Not forgetting the do's and the dont's while preparing the macaroon batter.To make a macaroon sometime you need to consider the weather.A hot weather is the best day to bake macaroon and you will fall in love with the baked macaroon that gives you almost perfect end result.

Here are some of the macaroon that we made in the class.I must try and practice this at home to polish my skill :)

Until we meet again!
Thanks for reading

Telekung from Jenna

Assalamualaikum to all,

I'm safely received my courier from Jenna.I bought 2 pairs of telekung,one is in turquoise with white lace and magenta plain colour.The material is fully Lycra and very comfy.The design is also simple yet perfect I can say, for a simple muslimah like me :)

How about the price?The one with the lace is at RM230 and the plain one is at RM140 each,with additional postage of RM10.There are few more beautiful colours and designs.You can visit their instagram JENNABYOHP or like their facebook fanpage Jennamuslimwear.Happy shopping :)

Ayu Mee Udang Teluk Kumbar

I just came back from having some mee udang, located at Teluk Kumbar.I went there with my family and we ordered varieties of menu such as mee kuah udang,mee goreng udang & nasi goreng udang.The foods are based on prawn.The prawns served were quite big and fresh.To get there,you can just google map " Mee Udang Ayu".

In my opinion,I would prefer the mee udang in Sg Dua as it tasted better than this.Overall,I can give rate of 3/5 for "Mee Udang Ayu" restaurant.

Keow Teow Kuah Udang

In addition,I also had "durian" today.It tasted marvelous.Even there were 2 "durian kucing tidur", as you can see below picture attached.What I can say,the texture is soft,taste creamy and sweet.

Yogurt for Dry Skin

Hello readers,
I'm on 1 week holidays from daily work.So,I'm now at my hometown Bukit Mertajam,Penang, the heaven of foods.
Actually,these few days, I experienced dry skin of my face.Pimples are like everywhere on my face especially on forehead and cheek.As been told before in the previous post,I wanted to start over again a home spa project.So, I start with the very simplest one,only 1 ingredient that is yogurt.I choose to go for greek natural plain yogurt because it has thick texture,so that when you apply on face it won't drip out of your face.

You just need a simple step for this yogurt mask.Just take a spoon of yogurt and apply it on your face.Wait until 20 - 30 minutes,then rinse off with lukewarm water.For the best result,make sure you repeat this step 3x a week or you can do it everyday for the beginning.

Strawberry Ice Cream Recipe

Remember I posted an entry about ice cream maker?I've tried making some ice cream with it.

What is the best time to prepare the ice cream?

1. If you are a career woman like me,I would suggest you to keep the ice cream maker bowl in the freezer around 6.30 am, a day before you wanted to make the ice cream.It need to be frozen for 24 hours at least.Or else,it won't work.
2. You can prepare the mixture at night,maybe after dinner.Some recipe needs to be stored in the fridge for overnight,but some you can just prepare the mixture on the spot or by the time you are ready to make the ice cream.Once the mixture/custard is ready,cover them with plastic wrap,make sure the plastic wrap touches the top on the mixture.
3. On the next morning,you can start making the ice cream.Place the ice cream bowl on the machine,turn on the machine,pour the mixture and you are ready to go.Normally,it takes about 20 to 30 minutes for the ice cream to get harden,however it depends on the ice cream machine itself.So,make sure you read first all the instructions in the manual before started making the ice cream.Once done,you can transfer the ice cream inside an air tight container and keep it in the freezer for at least 8 hours before they are ready to be eaten.And now you can get ready for work :).Isn't simple and organized?

In the manual,you can see there are few recipes for you to try .I've tried the strawberry ice cream recipe,it is simple and you don't have to keep the mixture overnight.Below is the recipe.

Strawberry Ice Cream

Ingredients:-

• 300gm fresh strawberry
• 75gm caster sugar
• 100ml whipping cream
• 1 small size lemon juice

Process:-

Blend the strawberry until it becomes puree.Then,mix all the ingredients well.Turn on the ice cream machine,pour slowly the mixture.Wait until 20-30 minutes or until it gets harden.Transfer the ice cream inside air tight container and keep in the freezer for at least 8 hours.Ready to serve.

Macaroni & Cheese

Hello readers :)
My baking passion is back!After almost 1 years plus I left my baking hobby due of some reasons,but now I'm happy that passion is suddenly appears,when I watched an internet cooking show "Laura In the Kitchen".

My husband loves western food,totally a little bit different from me,where I love Asian food.So,I think I need to learn how to make homemade western food,so that we can save some and eat healthy food. At least ,we know what are the ingredients that we used.

I always wanted to try making homemade mac & cheese.Hence,I searched recipe over the internet and I found that the recipes are quite simple and just need little time to prepare for it.So,below recipe is taken from website of Laura In The Kitchen.I can say that the taste is pure western way,but no harm to give a try.

Ingredients:-
½ lb of Corkscrew Pasta (or any shape of pasta you like), cooked according to package directions and drained->I used only 250gm.1/2lb or almost 500g is too much for me.4 Tbsp of Unsalted Butter4 Tbsp of FlourSalt and Pepper to taste2 cups of Whole Milk, warmed in either a microwave or in a small pan1 cup of Extra Sharp Cheddar, grated2 cups of Mozzarella, grated->1 cup for the white sauce,and 1 cup for the topping
½ cup of Parmiggiano Reggiano, grated->I don't used this because it is not available in the market.However,I substitute this with another 1 cup of cheddar cheese¼ cup of Bread Crumbs4 Oz of Pancetta, cut into small dice->I used slices of beef tenderloin,marinate it with white pepper+salt1 tsp of Olive oil

Process:-
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F = 204 degree C

1) Sautee the pancettatenderlion slices with the olive oil in a small sauté pan over medium high heat until the pancettatenderlion slices is crispy and cooked well, drain with a slotted spoon onto a small plate and set aside.

2) In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and add the flour. Stir it together and cook it for about a minute.

3) While constantly stirring, slowly add the milk and cook it for about 4 to 5 minutes or until the milk turns into a custard consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste and take off the heat. Add all of the grated cheddar, mozzarella and half of the parmiggiano, stir until all of the cheeses have melted, add in the cooked and drained pasta and mix together until everything is well combined.

4 Put the mac and cheese into a casserole dish and sprinkle the bread crumbs and mozarella cheesethe remaining parmiggiano evenly over the top, drizzle a touch more of olive oil over the top and bake for about 20 to 25 minutes or until the top is golden and bubbly.

So,this is how my mac & cheese looks like.It's crunchy on top yet so creamy inside :)

Before went into the oven

After baked

Home Spa, It's been so long

Oh,seriously it's been so long tak buat home spa.Dulu-dulu zaman bujang suka sangat tempek-tempek yogurt kat muka,sapu yogurt kat rambut,lulur & scrub badan and mandi susu(walaupon xdak bath tub,besen pon jadi la).Sekarang ni I dunno why malas semacam,maybe sebab ada benda lain yang lebih penting nak kena buat and I have limited time.

So,I'm thinking of to start over again this year.Nak aktifan balik diri memanjakan diri kat rumah.Maybe I can do it on every free weekend.I need to start buying some natural ingredients such as yogurt & oat,which these two are used a lot in home spa recipe.

I hope this will be not only hangat-hangat tahi ayam as I realized now I need to take care of my body from head to toe.Even skin getting rough already :(.Next week I'm going back to Penang.Will start this home spa project once I'm back home.

See ya :)

Ikan Kembung Masak Tempoyak Ala Perak

Hello to all,
This is my first post in 2014,it is about recipe :)

Ini cerita Khamis lepas.Alkisahnya,dah tak tau nak masak apa untuk dinner.Yang tinggal dalam freezer cuma ikan kembung dan daging.So,memandangkan buntu apa yang nak di masak,Ezzy pon just google resepi ikan kembung kat internet.And,I found something that caught my eyes,ikan kembung masak tempoyak.Rupanya ikan kembung ni boleh masak tempoyak juga ya,selalunya guna ikan patin jer.Ezzy tak ingat dari blog mana Ezzy dapat resepi,tapi Ezzy akan share resepi yang Ezzy buat Khamis lepas.Lebih kurang sama dengan mana-mana resepi dalam internet,but ada tukar-tukar sikit ikut bahan-bahan yang ada di rumah.

Bahan-bahan:-

• 4 Ikan Kembung
• Air secukupnya
• 1 inci kunyit hidup
• 6 Cili Padi
• Garam secukup rasa
• 4 sudu tempoyak
• Timun (Optional)

Cara-cara:-

1. Blendkan air,kunyit hidup,tempoyak & cili padi.
2. Masukkan bahan yang sudah diblend ke dalam periuk.Panaskan sehingga mendidih.
3. Kemudian,masukkan ikan dan juga timun.Biar sehingga timun lembut.Ready to serve.

Senangkan resepi ni.Very simple,fast and easy.Resepi yang Ezzy share style Perak,but I still prefer style Temerloh :).Anyway,both styles are good and delicious to me.I would suggest you guys to have combination of sambal belacan and ulam-ulaman when you eat gulai tempoyak.

Selamat mencuba :)
