Lace,Dinner &Friendship.

Hullooo..

Lama tak menjengok blog;) sebelum lupa yang berminat pasal cubby house tu ni number tukang buat tu- Pokya (Zakaria Shariff- based in Shah Alam) 019 3233383- i cant quote the price as the price given to me was just tolong kawan- i bayar duit material only but he told me the range is between RM1500 and above depending on the design etc, Pokya ambik projek buat taman,gazeebo and even interior design for the house- he's an artist used to work with the Production company to design set.

Yang tanya resipi mee udang- so sorry lambat lah dapat menjawabnya- ada 2 cara:  nak cepat- beli kat supermarket the ready made paste brand "Tean- Prawn noodles" ini memang sedap- as good as the homemade- i like their curry noodles paste too- you can only find this brand in big supermarket like Village Grocer,Bangsar Cold Storage and kadang2 Aeon Bandar Utama pun ada. But if i  ada masa i kadang2 buat my own kuah- berbaloi walaupun a bit leceh tapi memang sedap- you kena rebus udang, keluarkan dan ambik isi- ketepikan air udang, isi udang blend dengan sedikit udang kering,belacan,cili kering,bawang merah putih- tumis bahan blend sampai wangi dan pecah minyak,masukkan air rebusan udang adan Nampla (fish sauce) biar mendidih- sudah sediakan lah mee yang di celur dan celur sekejap semua bahan- ternasuk udang besar,kangkung,fish cake dan tahu (kalau suka)- selamat mencuba.

Last week was busy,busy, busy mana ada masa tak busy ye tak? especially when i work kat 2 tempat- new office in Bangsar and old office in Bandar Utama- pagi meeting Bangsar,lunch fetch budak kat TTDI- terus sambung kerja kat BU- badan macam atas angin saja;)

The girls are growing fast- next year which is going to be in a month  and few more days to be exact- they will be in Standard One- i dont know whether i should be happy,worried or excited- i think semua nya lah;) So masa2 terakhir di kindy i try to find time with them bila jemput lunch time if sempat we berhenti kat mana2 and had lunch together- they love it very much- very meaningful when your daughters hold your hands bila jalan and said- ' mama we love having lunch with you!" ayaya i feel like  duduk rumah only;):) but life has to go on;):)

Sometimes we had ABC at the nearby Aeon before i send them back:)

last week first time introduce hot plate noodles ni kat Tia- she loves it- pandai pulak makan tu;)

Saturday- they were super duper excited and they had everything ready to welcome their old freind;)

Beli marshmallow, muffins etc utk kawan masa mula2 masuk kat kindy dulu- the girl now dah in standard one- so bila cuti sekolah ni dapat lah jumpa:)

I made bolognese pasta for lunch- so i had 3 daughters and 2 maids on saturday- Iman's mummy left her maid with us to attend to her daughter;):)

Happy faces;);) 

Since feeling2 Diva sebab ada dua maid kat rumah i pun pergi keluar dengan husband ke mall on Saturday.Fish head noodles- my favourite now dah jadi my hb's favourite pulak;)

Sunday the girls were excited to follow us to Gala Dinner.

This is going to be their first function at night at the hotel:)

Function will be at night after Maghrib and sementara tu mama buat lah kerastangan dulu- menjahit lace yang di beli 3 tahun dulu dari Swan Valley,Western Australia.

Dah di jahitkan pada curtain rod mula2 di gantung rendah ala2 cafe style kat sini- but my girl pandai pulak komplen, she said " why the curtain is so low mama? it is not nice at all!" huh pandai you;)

So i gantung lah tinggi macam ni;)

Yeayyy that's nice mama she said;)

Malam we went to the dinner- Mia Ayesha in her full lace gown:)

Us- mama tak suka style tudung macam ni tapi dah beli scarf ni last year in paris masa bertugas- ni lah masalah travel bila masuk boutique tak banyak duit pun impulse membeli tu tak boleh control- bila tengok balik rasa 'how could i spend that much on a piece of scarf?"- So kena lah pakai- since pendek tak lah boleh belit2 tu;)

Told my friend si Ita- to justify it i must put the label infront for everybody to see- ha haa..parah lah ;)

The girls and their papa;)

Father and daughter.

I like this Royale Bintang- small boutique hotel- kalau kat overseas banyak yang macam ni.

Ni musim gila kan lace- malam ni i membongkar jumpa these two pieces- i bought from French Village last year- yeayyy happy;)

Boleh di gantung- tapi sayang, rasanya nak frame kan- cantik kan;)

That's all for tonight- we look foward to bring Uwan and heni bercuti ke tepi pantai this Thursday- macam tu lah tiap tahun mesti ada percutian utk yang muda dan tua- uwan now boleh jalan slow2 mata pun dah kurang sikit so kena plan betul2 bila nak bawak dia jalan2- kalau last year dia boleh naik Cameron etc- this year dah very slow- macam tu lah orang tua- if you have old parents dont wait long, enjoy everytime that you can with them- masa berlalu bagai kilat keluar air mata darah pun tak dapat di cari yang telah lenyap- uzur,umur yang lanjut sekali datang tak dapat di tarik balik- dulu2 masa bujang i used to jalan2 dua orang naik genting dengan uwan- drive,park kereta and naik cable car, we pergi makan kat hotel after that drive down balik- kadang2 rindu lah zaman2 uwan boleh enjoy semuanya- naik boat pisang di PD pun boleh-sekarang bersyukur sebanyak nya kepada Allah masih diberi peluang menyayangi dia- di beri peluang menjaga dia exactly macam mana dia jaga kita masa kecik- pagi i mandikan dia air panas- sikat  rambut,pilih baju dan pakaikan,sediakan breakfast di halaman- walaupun dia masih boleh buat semua tu, tapi dah slow sekarang, - dulu masa i pregnant uwan di dapur menumbuk membuat gulai bagai- 7 tahun  bagai sekelip mata- Jangan langsung tunggu untuk menyanyangi dan berbakti pada ibu bapa kita- itu lah gambaran kita di masa tua- telah diberi Allah cermin besar buat pedoman- Moga semua ibu bapa kita diberkati.Amin.

Food Story-inside and outside My Kitchen..

Hullooo:);)

Feeling cosy and nice while writing this entry:)- I'm sitting on the bed in between the two girls- one is already down-sweet dream girl while the other one is putting her head all over my body:):)

This week as usual i took my time to enjoy the weekend as i know the two days will fly in no time. To Kniedaz yang tanya Kimchi tu rasa apa- yupp more a less like kobis jeruk but rasa dia distinctive sikit with the chili and to Hanis yang tanya mana beli the gals house (cubby house)- it was custome made by  my friend- he's an artist;);) If interested i can pass his contact number.

Friday - the girls from office gave me a treat- Alhamdulillah:)

We had Mieng Kham as appetizer at Absolute Thai- i suka this appetizer- to those yang tak pernah rasa ini daun kaduk- disapu dengan sauce yang dibuat dari udang kering yang tumbuk halus dengan belacan,chili,gula kabung, fish sos dan bila nak makan taburkan kelapa rendang,limau lipis di hiris, halia,udang kering,kacang goreng,bawang dan cili padi- sedapppp:):)

Petang i had meeting meeting until late evening,while driving back home was thinking about what to cook- first decided to just make fish and chips- since Uwan was at Maklang's house we can make do without rice. But bila balik tengok Heni simpan Tartar Sauce dalam freezer- Aiyaaa i cant eat Fish&Chips without Tartar Sauce! So i made pizza instead.

I made two type of pizzas using the frozen pizza base- the girls like the plain pizza- just sauce and cheese- frozen pizza base ni selalunya kering and not as nice as the one you made yourself- so nak avoid keing drizzle banyak sikit olive oil in the pan- i even drizzle kat atas dough pun.

The hungry tummies were waiting for the pizza.

The one with macam2 for mama&papa.

Just Cheese for Tia Mia.

Saturday morning bila Tartar Sauce dah cair- i pun buatlah Fish&Chips:):) I masak guna Magic pan- hanya letak 1 spoon of olive oil- chips jadi lagi gebu and sedap and not oily.

Heavy breakfast before we went and fetch Uwan.

But the mama lepaskan gian jugak nak makan maggie he he yum yum:);)

We went to Pashik's house as  Maklang brought Uwan there- we had good lunch at Pashik's- Udang galah goreng kunyit by mashik and i brought gulai telur itik and ikan bilis goreng lada hitam.

Finally Uwan pun balik rumah..yeayyy we miss Uwan.

Hujan and uwan at home i made one of her favourite- sup tulang with cilikicap limau.

Sedap menghirup sup malam2 yang sejuk.

And kalau buat sup daging seperiuk tak payah buat lauk lain nanti tak ada yang nak makan- ulam timun cukup:)

Dessert pun isteimewa buat uwan- ubi rebus dengan gula anau Kuala Pilah dan kelapa- sedap betul gulanya:)

The wonderful Sunday night for the girls- watching Barbie in bed:)

Sunday we let uwan rest at home and went out to buy groceries- we had lunch at Teppanyaki and we odered red ruby for dessert rom the Thai shop.

Evening's view while waiting for Tea- cosy and lovely in uwan's room.

While they were resting i prepared dessert for dinner- this time buat Cream Cracker Cheese 

I tukar the recipe yang ambik dari website ikut selera - as i don't like it to be too sweet i tak bubuh sugar dalam cheese- i hanya buat the cheese with butter di tambah dua sudu Essence Coffee.Then i tak letak susu pekat in between crackers tapi tukar dengan Honey.

I tumbuk cornflakes dan tabur atas cream cheese.

Selepas selang seli dengan biskut ( crackers pun i tak rendam lama dalam milk sebab tak suka dia jadi lembut sangat) i taburkan serbuk koko.

Sejukkan dalam fridge then boleh lah potong:)

Yummm lemak ber krim.

Our early dinner was my sedap mee udang- sorry he he i always rasa my mee udang paling sodap- perasan sikit kih kih:)

i used Udang Galah for my Mee Udang.

But the girls nak mee kicap- so i made a different sauce for them- tak pedas:)-i buatkan gravy asing then gaul dengan mee- sedap rasanya dari di masak sekali.

Tadi keluar beli groceries ada beli few things utk buat project menyimpan tepung dan gula- nanti dah jadi baru tunjuk..he he excited buat project kecik2 ni;)

That's it- bubyeeee and sweet dreams peeps!
