Supaya tidak lupa.

Sudah bertahun rasanya mahu try buat basic cake yang adaptable dengan pelbagai jenis cake bile ditambah/ ditukar perisa nya. Ada jugak cari-cari resepi selama ni, cuma tak ada kerajinan untuk mencuba. Since dah berpuluh hari terpaksa berkurung di rumah, dengan spontan nya rajin itu muncul.

Terus cari resepi and then 45 minit after baking, tadaaaaa...

Hehe. Dah separuh tinggal. Supaya next time tak lupa dan boleh rujuk anytime, here's the recipe:

1 cawan gula kastor

1 cawan butter

2 cawan tepung gandum

5 biji telur

2 sudu besar susu pekat manis

2 sudu teh soda bikarbonat

esen vanila

* pewarna merah dan hijau

*Untuk kek lain, tukar sahaja perisa for example choc powder or choc rice or orange or almond. Boleh jugak buat marble cake ;)

Senang dan sedap. Jadilah kek gebu!

Semalam, my sister kemaruk nak makan caramel puding. Tup tap tup, siap!!!

Penuh periuk!! For this, resepi nya di double. Buat dua hidangan sebab semalam rmai orang di rumah. Here's the recipe for 1 hidangan.

4 biji telur

1 tin susu cair

2 sudu teh esen vanila

1/2 cawan air

3 sudu besar susu pekat manis

bahan B

1 cawan gula

1 cawan air

* Semalam lepas masak terlembik sedikit. So next time kene tambah tepung barang 2 sudu besar 1 hidangan. ;)

One of my sister puasa yesterday dan mengidam nak makan steak. So, perah otak cuba ingat-ingat balik resepi for black pepper sauce yang sudah berkarat, akhirnya

Homemade beefsteak. Sedap :)

Muizz dah bangun. Mandi time now. Babai.

Sunday cooks.

added lemon grass for fragrance taste. sedap!
husband's cook.
a glass of milk to complete my brunch.

Lost of vocab.

Macam kehilangan vocab to describe kesedapan dan ke-delicious-an yogurt cheese cake ini. The one yang saya pegang with my right hand.

Sila ke Secret recipe untuk merasa sendiri. Serius sedap. Tak tipu.

Boyfriend's flite home is tonight. Kenapa hari ini masa berlalu dengan sangat cepat? Benci!

Footnote: Ignore the eyebags. Macam dh jadi luggage pun :p. Im googling image for poche panamera. Katanya fazura dah book. owh. lagi benci!

Pre-order.

Hari ni hari ke-2 mengqada puasa. InsyaAllah di kuatkan semangat sampai waktu berbuka. Alhamdulillah waktu berbuka awal, jam 6.04 petang. Semalam hari pertama. Badan agak kelembikkan. Jadi masak ala kadar je. Menu semalam cuma ikan goreng, tempoyak dan kerabu udang bersama paku-pakis.

Perasaan mahu masak pun ala kadar. Jadi hasilnya pun ala-ala je. Kerabu tak berapa menjadi. Termasam lah pulak. Biasa la, nama pun puasa. Tak boleh nak menerai-nerai.

Plan mahu pergi sahur (supper) di Pizza Hut. Tup tup kene cancel. Atas masalah teknikal. Mungkin malam ni akan zoooom terus ke pizza.

Hari ni menu berbuka hanya simple. Nasi planta, ayam goreng dan sambal udang. Tidak dilupa tempoyak berlada ulam timun.

Dalam fikiran dan ikutkan nafsu, banyak menu yang belum di cuba. Antaranya:

1- Asam pedas ikan
2- Gulai tempoyak ikan
3- Ketam bercili
3- Fish grilled with white sauce

Haih. Kalau puasa ni nafsu membuak-buak.

footnote: Im sorry for the unseemly photo of my fridge. Can you see my tempoyak? hehe.

Sesudah 5 hari.

Alhamdulillah.

Today is already the 6th day of fasting. How fast time flies kan? Tengok-tengok nanti dah nak raya pun. ;)

Since the Holy Ramadhan came, belum lagi menjejak kaki ke bazar Ramadhan. Wow wow! But it's not that wow pun because the bazar in Twu is not as goooood as what we have in Semenanjung. I had this one experience last year; i went to bazar and returned home with only a plastic of water. Itu sahaja yang berkenan. Now you can guess what bazar here is like. Perhaps it does'nt suit my taste and my usual expectation of bazar Ramadhan. Perhaps.

So, bulan puasa tahun ini, I decided to cook on my own. So, we (me and the 2 roomates) buy things and cook. And it's soo much fun you know.

These are the homemade menu that we have:

1st day: Ikan masak pedas, udang goreng kunyit + sawi goreng telur.

2nd day: masak lemak ikan, ayam goreng + sayur campur udang.

3rd day: sayur lemak, udang sambal + ayam goreng.
4th day: We went out and have a big makan-makan together with Kak Ummi and Nett. (you may know them)

5th day: sayur lemak (hangatkan balik), ikan kukus goreng, sambal pedas bilis, ikan sardin, telur dadar + timun cicah tempoyak.
the 5th day lah satu2 nya hari kami ber-3 makan nasi bertambah-tambah. Penangan tempoyak tu... Fuhhh, sedap giler k! Lauk simple-simple je. Hopefully can give ideas for all of you to cook. Kueh nya adalah popia. Pun homemade. ;)
And today, tak tahu lagi mahu masak apa. Tapi dah lama berangan mahu buat kerabu sotong. Kene cari resepi dulu lah. Kepada sesiapa yang teringin mahu buat tempoyak, buleh tanya ye. Nanti saya bagitahu. Simple - simple aje.


Sorry for the lack of photo for the 1st two days. Sangat eager mahu bukak puasa lol~

The first home-cooked dinner.

is this a lot for an on-diet woman? but i didn't finish it tho. tamak je masak banyak-banyak.

cute-ness kan? inspire me to eat less. i loike. haha.

Tawau Cuisine.

Introducing to you,

Drum roll.............

this is the famous Tawau's NASI LALAP. consists of nasi putih + ayam goreng + sayur celur + tempe goreng + sambal 'merangsang' + sup kosong. hotness ok.

Last night was my first time to eat it.

actually, kesedapan NASI LALAP bergantung kepada sup dan sambal nya. when we were ordering last night, the half men and women waiter said to us, " sambal nye merangsang tau.."

auw you!

Puasa yang yok.

konon nya hari ni nak puasa. ada lagi 4 hari kene ganti. tapi bangun pagi pagi dah teguk air sejuk. macam mana ni? lepas assembly pagi tadi terasa nak makan nasi kuning kak neng.

fuhh. dapat jugak.

masa mula-mula datang tawau agak ter-teruja la tengok nasi kuning. "eh, kt semenanjung takde pun nasi begini?"

macam jakun rasa. huhu.

sekali rasa nasi kuning yang version kak neng bawak, memang fullemek kaww punye. ikan lada pedas ala sardin, telur rebus dikerat 4, ada sambal macam kerisik (nyiur). meleleh... harga pulak RM1.80. memang poket tak kan sakit walopun makan hari-hari. tetapi lemak di badan mungkin akan tercabar. haha.

konon nya nak puasa lah. puasa yang yok. hihi.

Menu berbuka bujang.

it's been a success 5 days of ramadhan. and i am still doing great. my mak called me on the very first day worrying that this daughter will be having a severe attack of hungry-ness (?). as i always have this problem since i was young only on the couple days of early ramadhan.

Thank God that it's not happen to me this year. perhaps because He knew that i am fasting alone and break fast alone. and nobody can make me a cup of milk for that reason. thank you mak. for always be there all the time.

there are good time and mostly bad time (read: bored to death) while i'm staying at home alone. but i am surviving.

tak sedih ke puasa sorang2, buka puasa sorang? well. ada lah sikit.

being alone, i didn't cook at all. except for the rice lah. here are my menu-s for the last 5 days of fasting.

1st day
tett!! no pictures. nampak sgt kelaparan. heh. but the menu was nasi putih with ayam masak pedas and telur dadar.

2nd day
nasi putih
ikan kembong bakar with air asam
rendang daging

3rd day
nasi beriyani
ayam masak madu
rendang daging
acar timun
kuih cara manis + berlauk (sedap)

4th day
nasi putih
tomyam campur super hot
telur dadar
kueh-mueh (dapat free!)

5th day
nasi putih
sup kosong
udang goreng tepung
telur dadar special

except for yesterday, semua makanan termasuk nasi tidak berjaya dihabiskan. jadik, dustbin lah tempat nye.

menu wajib adalah kurma, air putih and tea o. except for yesterday. i had ribena juice sebab berbuka puasa di eastern plaza. busy meng-shoppingkan diri at the lingerie department. sale woot!

so far thank God i've never missed the terawikh just yet. kudos to hormon rajin. heh. basically these are all i had since we started fasting and for sahur, i woke up only to drink some water (sebab malas nak gosok gigi untuk makan).

:)

sila tahan air liur dari menitik ke keyboard masing-masing.

KFC free.

Drooling sensation~

tetiba tekak rasa mkn western plak. jengok barang dlm peti and barang dlm cupboard, cukupla ingredienst to make macaroni alfredo.

let's do it together.bahan-bahannya:
mince meat/ chicken
2 tbs flour
2 tbs butter
1 mug fresh milk
2 tbs cheese (grated)
oregano
salt

1st STEP

boil the macaroni first. bimbang lambat lembut, nnti nk campur sekali dgn kuahnya. bimbang sauce nya akan pekat. kan?

how to boil it?
masukkan byk mana macaroni yang mahu dimasak. put water. secukupnya. ketuk garlic, sedikit butter and secubit garam. put altogether and let it boil. (the use of butter is to avoid macaroni melekat)

2nd STEP
fry the mince meat. add some salt. toskan.

STEPS for the sauce.

1 & 2. heat the pan with butter. let it simmer 3. then put in the flour. stir them till 4. it thicken a bit. 5. pastu masukkan fresh milk. stir the sauce together before letak the cheese. then masukkan daging yang telah digoreng tadi. plus a pinch of salt. and oregano.

6. finally, masukkan macaroni yang sudah masak dan lembut and kaup-balikkan mereka.


READY TO SERVE!

option: use prawn or any other seafood instead of chicken. furthermore, you can add some veggie. :)

Craving for...

malam itu terasa sangat nk mkn KFC. kalau la ada kenderaaan sendiri, mmg saat itu jugak aku keluar mencarinya. kempunan sgt x dpt mkn KFC mlm itu. sampai termimpi2.

so, semalam, keluar la aku sorang2 ke bandar tawau.

bersyukur dengan rezeki yang Allah bagi.

All in a day's work.

chicken lasagna

ngeh ngeh.

ok. back to the story yang pegi cari cheese tu.

after we bought the cheese @ Takada, my tekak terasa nk makan cake la plak. so we headed to eastern plaza (EP). besar wo EP ni. cuma kedai je tade. hehe. x banyak la maksudnya. yang penting The Body Shop ada okeh.

ok ok. back to the story.

masa nk parking kt depan EP yang lepas tu kene limpas (ini bahasa sabah ba.. the meaning is cross) 2 jalan besar (owh?), parking tak ada tau. nak dijadikan cerita ada la 1 parking ni. kami pun apa lagi kan. terus suuupp masuk.

then, tetiba k.su tanya aku:

"tak nampak bodoh ke kita parking kt sini?"

aku yang masih blur dan belum tahu keadaan sebenar lagi bertanya, "kenapa?"

"tu..." k.su moncong mulut ke arah window sebelah ku.

apa lagi kan. BANTAI aku gelak!!!

wahahahahahahahahahahaha~

sampai skarang bila aku ingt lagi cerita itu aku sengeh sorang-sorang.

ha ha.

footnote: sengeh pun bunyi ha ha kan? gile x feminin.

drooling sensation~

are you ready?
let's scroll down.

the menu for today is strawberry marbled cheesecake.
the time and place: own freetime (lepas sahur ok gak. hehe.) own kitchen + own utensils~
the ingredients are:

Crust:

1/4 @ 50 gram cup butter, melted
1 cup graham cracker crumbsCombine melted butter, graham cracker crumbs (i just blend the cracker. x kuasa nk tumbuk halus2.heh.); press onto bottom of 9-inch springform pan. Bake at 180 C. for 10 minutes. Don't forget to heat up the oven beforehand ok.

this is how it looks. ;)

Cheesecake:

750ml cream cheese, softened (it's like 3 cups and 1/2)
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
3 eggs (2 full eggs, 1 egg yolk)
3/4 cup fresh milk
3 tablespoon of flour
10 ounces frozen strawberries (thawed), in syrup
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch

Puree strawberries in blender. Heat in a saucepan with the cornstarch over medium heat until thickened, then cool.

Blend cream cheese (only) until it kind of soft. Combine with sugar and vanilla, mixing at medium speed on electric mixer until well blended. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Pour the fresh milk (slowly, bimbang terpercik. hehe.). Then add the flour. Don't make it too thick or too lembik. If it's too lembik, add flour. this is how it looks.

Pour some of the mixture into the pan then add half of the strawberry mixture by spoonfuls. Pour the rest of the cheese mixture into the pan over the strawberry mixing. Then, add the rest of the strawberry mixing left. Swirl the mixture with a knife until it resembles a marbled effect.

this is how it looks. just before you bake it.

Bake at 180 C. for 25-30 minutes or until set. Allow cheesecake to cool then remove from rim of pan. Chill overnight before serving.

Serving Size: 12
after overnight in the refrigerator, bleh la dimakan. hehe.
