Food Galore

This is no ordinary school exercise book.


It doesn't contain maths or formulas to be memorised. *grumbles*

It is full of love. :)

With this trusty book, my sisters and I jot down recipe of dishes from my grandmother's kitchen. Something she never reveals to the world. *wow sound very exclusive*

OK OK, the revealing-to-the-world part was added by me.... but yes, I'm going to show it to the world that I am trying it out for the first time.

Nyek Nyek Nyek *cheeky laugh*


So, I seasoned the chicken with salt, soy sauce and pepper for about 1 hour because I just bought the chicken earlier this afternoon. It would be a lot better to season them for at least 2 hours.

Then, I blended some dried chilly + little red onions and candlenut (Buah Keras)

I used my mother's trusty Smart Lady she bought months ago for the first time. I love it because it is powerful and easy to wash.



To its name... the Smart Lady. Smart indeed, eh? =.="


After blending the above said ingredients, fry them until it is fragrant before adding the chicken.

Continue sizzling the chicken + ingredients until the chicken is golden brown before adding a little bit of coconut milk.



I didn't have time to go to the market to get fresh coconut milk, thus I used Kara Coconut Extract, which works the same. But, have to mix with a little bit of water before pouring them into the pan.

Be careful not to add too much coconut milk. Note that I didn't use the whole box of Kara Coconut Extract. Only 1/4 of the amount in the packet above.

Stir fry the chicken for a while.


and

Tadaa!!!!

I tasted the chicken and I love it!

Easy to prepare and only use very minimal ingredients.

Plus, if you do not have much time, this is like the best dish you could prepare because it only took me about 45 minutes to blend, cook and dish it out to the kitchen. :)



Oh oH OH!!!

I also prepared my own yogurt for the first time.

It is not fattening.

High in calcium.

Low fat.

Loads of vitamin C because I added tonnes of fruits.

Let me show you... because it is so easy to prepare too!!!!!!



See me smiling?



Ya, because I only had to squeeze it out from that machine.

Ya, only squeezing it out from the machine.


Then off to the fruit station for toppings and fruits.

Wahahahahahahaahhaahaha


No, I didn't prepare the yogurt from scratch. I was at this so called DIY Yogurt shop at Sunway Pyramid.

Keyword: Akon

It was one of the greatest nights. We felt like we were clubbing on a big open area, with live music... only better!

Because Akon was there to sing for us in person!!!!!

I wasn't a HUGE Akon fan. Like you know a few of his songs... but not all of his songs. You know what I mean?

But yet, he was such a great mixer of music, everybody just danced and danced is all we did.

Below: Joey, Me & JC

Me and my cupcake :)

All you hear is Akon's beautiful music and people cheering I love you like he/she is declaring love like never before. Like it would be one of the last chances you could propose and say I love you. wtf.

And when he threw his various "upper body items" like jacket, singlet and cap... everybody cheered so loud. I think those in the front zone must be fighting among themselves... or maybe they already had a systematic order of tearing them into pieces so everybody can have one bit? Wahahahahahahahaha




The night just got better and better. By the second half of the concert, Akon's DJ was mixing his greatest hits. It is like one huge clubbing scene in open air. Everybody was singing, dancing... the only difference is that those not in the VIP zone (or called Pitt Zone) have no alchohol. Damn it people in the Pitt Zone get free flow of Chivas. Anyway, not that I drink a lot.

Everyone was just dancing and singing. Really.





Then, Akon got crazier too. He jumped into the audience.

YES, he got down the stage or literally just jumped down and God knows what happen next, because there were too many people crowding around feeling his meat wth or whatever that I could not see!!!! *grumbles*

Those in the Beach Zone in front of the stage must be having a hell of a time, trying to squeeze to the front to be near to Akon.

And man... he didn't do it only once. But a lot of times! Everyone just got more excited!

After that, he announced on the microphone that his songs are about unity and having concerts to have everyone together represents the idea of being united as well. Thus, he wanted everybody to support and carry him... and then passed him around so "I could get to the other zones separated by the gates at the back!"

This is when everyone started to cheer SO LOUD and waited for him to be passed to the correct direction.

Darling shot a few videos but my iPhone just couldn't export those clips!!!! Please help me.

But here's one clip my cupcake manage to take using his digital camera, which I am in love with right now.

Here's another delayed clip from Black Eye Peas' concert which I took during Arthur's Day. BEP is just fab as well. :)

Oh, how much I love being at concerts. Only good artists could sing really good live. Some really suck and only sound good on CD records and mp3. Yuck.

Being Chic

Last Friday, when we were at Pavilion for dinner, I asked if I could try one of the most expensive cupcakes I will eat for once. He said yes. :)


So after looking at their variations at CuppacakeChic, I decided to choose the chocolate flavoured.

See the little one? I was so stupid to go and buy the cupcake when there is this nice cute little sample on the counter for us to try! Even the ang moh went to get the cute cupcake and just left.

But trying not to be a cheapo, I just continued with paying at the counter.

The cupcake was a little tad too sweet to my liking. Sorry.

And this Mr. D started to take a picture of me munching away my cupcake...


Sorry... but it just got uglier....


and uglier.................


So there you go, one of the few uglier pictures of myself doing something ugly like having chocolates on my lips and all over my mouth.

wth. who cares anyway?

I am me. Take it or leave it.

Mid-Autumn Festival

Yes, you didn't read this wrongly. I have this posted a little late.

Below: Taken from Little Genting in Cheras

Darling suggested a BBQ dinner to celebrate the mid-autumn festival a month ago. This is so delayed wth.


Of course, the festival would not be complete without these little lanterns!


Nice :)

Here's Darling doing the work... he loves to spend time on the BBQ pit whenever there's a BBQ party. He likes to play with fire I think. Hahahhahaha... he's going to kill me for saying this. :P



Here's Darling's uncle, elder sister and brother- in law

Hahahaha... look at her expression with the scissors thingy pointing at the brother-in law.

She's one very active, cute and smart person... and I admire her for that.


XOXO,

Just watched Akon's concert at Sunway Lagoon!

One of the best concerts I have ever been, when we sang non-stop ... cheered and danced all night!

Imagine Akon literally jumping in to the audience and had everyone passed/carried him along from one zone to another.

Crazy but a lot of fun :)


More photos coming up in my next post!

Happy 19th Birthday, sista!

Yes, it is Lee Mei's birthday today!


... and she's still a very happy little kid :)


So, I brought her to her favourite restaurant, New York New York at 1Utama for her birthday dinner!


We ordered a main course each and drinks. So while waiting for our orders to be served....




A shot of both of us. Of course :)


Mei and Tabeah, my German host-sister

And then our drinks arrive...


Darling and I shared a Root beer Float

Mei ordered her favourite Lemonade

Tabeah ordered a smoothie


This is Darling's soup, which I shared as well...

My Chicken and Cheese :S *fat fat fat*

Tabeah ordered Lasagna :)

Mei's Latin Chicken Chop

Darling's Crispy Chicken Burger, which looks most delicious. Hehe

Then, we secretly ordered a Mud Pie and requested it to be served with a candle on top...

She was quite happy...as I can see from the pictures... :)

We sang her a birthday song and she was looking at her pie for some time. I wonder why.

And I asked her to blow off the candle to officially mark her 19th birthday. Hehe :P


The Mud Pie was fantastic!!!! I would have more if only I wasn't too full up to my throat just now ...

Happy 19th Birthday, Mei!

XOXO,
yourSister

Some Updates

When I was back in Kelantan, I spent a lot of time enjoying grandma's cooking.

I miss her!

And on the first day when I was there, she cooked this for lunch......

.........

.......

...

..

Most of you should know that I am very sensitive (meaning negative feelings) towards bean stuff.

When I saw that nice looking bowl of taugeh on the table, I nearly fainted.

Of course, I ate some of it lah... don't want to offend my grandma. :)

OK I am so not over my iPhone yet. Should I give her a name?

Darling signing some papers :)

And when the servicing person had to use the blazer to cut open the plastic wrapper, I almost screamed *in pain*... I feel for my new phone. wth


Afraid he will scratch or ter-cut my new iPhone box. tsk tsk...obssessed

Ta-daaaa!!!!

Should I give her a name? Yea, it is a she because I got her a pink sleeve :)

.Loves.

XOXO,
