The Joy Of Life

I seriously sucks dealing with kids
I can only play with them for 30 minutes the max
and reduce every minute each time they scream
or cry or bite or annoy the hell out of me
But I really like kids that can behave well and polite
which is very rare to find



Nur Ilyana Jan, 8 months old



Muhammad Hayman Haziq, 7 months old



Muhammad Isyraq Hadif, 4 years old



Nurul Jasmine, 9 years old


But my life is surrounded by happy, cheeky, cute
and annoying nieces and nephews.

Despite of being strict and angry sometimes...
(with my annoying shrill nagging voice)
I truly love them with all my heart.





and I think that's the reason why they love me too.
ngeeee.

Cookin' Up

You know...
there's something seriously wrong with me and Shana
We keep posting about food and more food

Anywho,
That other weekend I learn how to cook with Ummi
Nothing really fancy but I wanna learn how to prepare simple dish first
There are 2 dishes -
Ayam masak merah minang & Bendi Goreng Belacan

Later i probably will learn how to cook Gulai Daging
or Masak lemak Ketam Nenas
or even rendang Minang (fuh leceh gila weyy)


Dish 1: Ayam Masak Merah Minang

Bahan:
2 ekor ayam
bawang putih (6-7 biji)
bawang merah (10-11 biji)
Serai (1 ikat - 7-8 biji)
Lengkuas (potong besar ibu jari x 3)
Cili Besar (sesuka hati nak banyak mana)
Bawang Besar (5-6 biji)
Cili sos(suka pakai aminah hassan)
garam
gula
ajinomoto (1 sudu camca dah cukup)


Cara Masak:

1. Basuh ayam bersih-bersih.
Gaul sama garam & limau kasturi
(bagi hilang bau).
Goreng jangan sampai garing.





2. Blender bawang putih, bawang merah, cili besar, lengkuas,
serai (yang dah hiris halus2)...
Kalau nak sedap tumbuk pakai lesung...
tapi sebab aku dah lapar maka blender je lah...
Gile kau,
Umi aku ni kalau masak rendang 10 ekor ayam pun nak tumbuk bahan...







3. Panaskan minyak (orang minang suka letak minyak banyak)
Tumis semua bahan dah blender tadi




4. Letak garam & gula...
Umi letak garam dalam 4 sudu aku kira...
Gula pon dalam 4 sudu gak...
pastu letak sos cili aminah hassan sikit...
saja bagi rasa...

kalau kurang balance rasa manis,
jangan tambah gula dulu
sebab nanti letak bawang besar dia akan rasa manis naturally, ewah

tapi gula dan garam ni terpulang ikut citarasa
dan tahap kesihatan masing-masing ye...




5. So tunggula sampai bahan tumis tu masak...
Pastu letak bawang besar yang dah hiris
(bawang akan maniskan sambal)

Umi suka biar lama-lama (dalam 1/2 jam) tapi api kena kecik je...
supaya cili tu masak betul..nanti takdela sakit perut makan...
cara nak tau cili dah masak nanti dia nampak berkilat...

sereyes aku pon tak paham...
tapi nak bagi senang,
kalau rasa sambal tu dah masak (tak maung)
maknanya dah masak la tu...




5. Dah masak tu masuk la ayam goreng...
gaul dalam 10 minit and siap!
So beza ayam masak merah minang dengan yang lain ialah
tak pakai tomato sauce atau tepung jagung ke apa...
memang pure sambal.







Dish 2: Bendi masak belacan

Bahan:
Bendi (atau sayur2 lain yang disukai)
bawang putih (3-4 biji)
bawang merah (5-6 biji)
cili besar (suka hati banyak mana)
belacan (peket kecil)
garam
air

Cara Masak:

1. Basuh bendi bersih- bersih and potong serong.




2. Tumbuk bawang putih, bawang merah, cili besar
(sikit-sikit camni tumbuk jela...sereyes lagi sedap)




3. Panaskan minyak.
Tumis semua bahan dah tumbuk.




3. Masukkan belacan secukup rasa...
masuk garam jugak kalau nak ada rasa sikit.
Pastu letak air panas sikit supaya ada kuah...takla kering sangat




4. Dah masak bahan tu masukkan la bendi dan siap!
Gile senang kan masak benda sedap ni.





So ini la makanan aku pada hari ahad itu
(kicap kipas udang adalah wajib buat aku walaupun tak pedas)

best gila
tak sia-sia bangun pagi pergi pasar.






MY INTERMONOLOGUE:
Lifehouse - Storm

If You Want Blood (You Got It)

Dexter is my favourite TV series of all.
Blood spatter analyst by day and serial killer at night.
That character used to be in my imagination when i was little.





New season of DEXTER premiere on 26th September 2010
at Showtime...
We'll get to download the series a week after that
Oh dear...
I can't wait!






Especially after knowing Julia Stiles will join the cast in season 5
as mysterious woman in Dexter life after the death of Rita
Will they be romantically involved?

As much as i love Julie Benz as Rita
I can't wait to see Julia Stiles character
By the way Julie Benz is freaking hot in Desperate Housewives
I feel so gay watching her






What i can say from season 1 - season 4
Dexter never fails to surprise me
with brilliant storyline
strong character
and shocking ending in each season





I wonder what season 5 will be with Rita's death
Lots of questions in my mind

Is it true Trinity killed Rita?
(I believe he's the one who did it but how?)
Will Miami Metro accusing him of killing Rita?
What about Trinity's remaining family members?
Who will take care the kids?
Will Rita become like Henry as Dexter's conscious?





Will Deb find something shocking about Dexter
while solving the case?
Is Quinn the new Doakes?
Who is Julia Stiles in the new season?





Whatever it is don't make season 5 the last season of Dexter.
I am still recovering from Scrubs season finale.
After watching the 1st trailer of season 5
It is safe to say that I am impatiently waiting for Dexter.
Aduii lama lagi niii....


sambil tunggu sambil beli action figure...
How bout that My Surfacing?

Hunger

Ada beberapa sebab kenapa kami suka pergi Jalan TAR
dalam sebulan tu mesti 2,3 kali pergi sana...
Antaranya ialah pelbagai music store macam acoustic,
nebiula (sil khannaz punya kedai), kedai aunty and kedai zolo
(aku nak semua original t-shirt dalam kedai ni)
Surfacing memang suka habiskan duit dia kat sini.

Juga sebab ada banyak shawl yang menarik dan murah
dekat maju junction and of course lah Jalan TAR...duhh.

Dan juga sebab KEBAB yang teramat sedap ni
tiada seumpamanya di mana-mana pun
kebab paling sedap dalam Malaysia!





Kebab ni kedai dia kat depan Globe...
skang dah jadi store lain kan...
Surfacing cakap stall ni dah ada dari dia kecik lagi
Arwah bapak yang selalu bawak masa dulu
and sampai sekarang kedai ni masih ada
but of course run by younger generation




Kenapa sedap gile?
Sebab daging dia bukan daging cincang halus-halus
macam kebab yang common kat pasar malam tu





daging yang sangat tender dia slice besar-besar
and sumbat dalam pita yang diletak black pepper sauce
and dorang tak kedekut daging



Surfacing sabar menunggu


tak perlu mayonis
cuma chilli sauce je dah cukup gempak
everytime datang jalan TAR
kebab ni la yang jadi lunch or dinner kitorang
tapi kalau wrong timing...
memang masakla kena beratur panjang nak beli



adui sedapnya...

of course la setiap sorang akan beli sampai 2
tak kenyang aku makan satu je...

sereyes,
kalau dah cuba kebab yang ni...
kebab yang lain tu adalah hina.
ngeee.

Meat mania large domino's pizza new york crust...
with extra cheese


This afternoon my lovely lady boss, Ms Eriko
who just got back from Cameron Highlands
bought 2 large pizza for us -
meat mania and classsified chicken..
both my favorite
and i am not suppose to eat this type of food on weekdays
(tapi apa jadi dengan bigmac selasa lepas..ngeee)

I ate 2 slices of pizza
dengan 2 bread stick + blackpepper sauce yang macam dadah tu

So now I feel so guilty to my blood
you know that i have to eat more veggies nowadays
and I really hate veggies
Thanks to my horrible skin, i have no choice.

Of course I have to start slowly...
My Surfacing is the one who introduce me to KFC salad..
which is not bad
and Shananeh who eat salad during lunch and successfully
manage to make the salad look yummy in her blog


So I made salad that I bought from cold storage
complete with balsamic vinegar dressing
and add in green apple, tomato and owhhh strawberry
(courtesy from my lady boss again...Eriko you're the best!)

and wallaa...



Consider this as my dinner,
Now i feel a lot better!



(tapi karang nak keluar sama surfacing...
mampukah aku menolak nasi lemak tetek malis itu?ngeeeee)

Restoran shanghai, klang



Semalam shana ada share ngan aku satu link ni
Promotion kat Restoran Shanghai kat Klang...
Agak menarik la bagi aku harga and makanan dia
lagi-lagi bila dia promote dengan tagline:
We are Pork Free - "Masakan Cina Untuk Semua Kaum".


Tapi yang comel tu
effort dia lah untuk make sure semua kaum
especially kepada semua muslim la
datang makan kat sini...
cuba korang tengok kat flyers dia ni

Ha nampak tak apa yang aku nampak?
Di tulis
" kami beli ayam daripada encik aris"

Gila kau siap promote supplier ayam lagi ni...
Glemer Encik Aris ni ha
ayat promosi dia berbunyi begini:

You may come along with Muslim friends or
business partners for a sumptuous meal as
the meat ingredients in all dishes are chicken supplied by En. Aris.

Dia siap link kan nama encik aris tu...
aku pon click la nak tau sapa encik aris yang disebut-sebut ni...





nah kau terpampang muka dengan ayat pengakuan lagi

"Saya Mohd Aris bin Ngah 019-2303641 adalah pembekal ayam kepada AI Kopitiam."


Aku puji effort restoran ni...
bersungguh-sungguh dia make sure orang tak ragu-ragu nak datang
Maybe aku akan pergi nanti try...

More Than Fine

ni main course dia


Last 2 weeks kitorang pegi makan kat lascarretas
Kawan Surfacing la cakap rib die lagi sedap dari Tony Roma's
Maka dia yang gile rib ni terus tak sabar sabar nak try
Kalau korang perasan...
muka dia ade looping kat Tony Roma's punya TV
pasal pertandingan makan Rib aritu...
hehehehe
Unfortunately he's not the winner
kalau tak...dah dapat makan free setahun ok...



Appetizer menu

Aku pulak masa tu baru lepas buat detox...
3 hari minum jus je
maka nafsu makan aku membuak-buak nak makan daging

So, sabtu tengahari dengan gigih
kitorang ke Lascarretas Ampang
Terus order pasal dah check awal-awal menu kat online...
ngeee






Yang bestnya deco tempat ni sangat best
memang feeling-feeling mexican abesla
padahal tak penah pun pegi mexico...
poyo-poyo je macam boleh tau camni feeling dia pulak kan...
ngeee




Muka tak semiak masing-masing tunggu makanan...lapar weyy


First dapat complimentary Nachos sama sour cream tu...
Nasib baik aku tak order Nachos as appertizer...
kalau tak dah rugi
memang tak sampai 5 minit Nachos lesap dari pandangan



Nachos complimentary

Nih air aku...Jus Tomato
aku ni pulak rasa bersalah pasal baru lepas buat detox
sudah order jus tomato konon-konon nak bagi balance la
sekali rasa sos tomato hamik kau
tapi sebab 6.90 jadi aku habiskan jugakla...
ngeeee



Tomato Juice aka sos tomato maggi


Ha ni Las carretas wings
tak menyesal order sebab lagi sedap dari buffalo wings chillis
pun tak sampai 5 minit dah habis...
punye la lapar



Chicken wing sedap


Tu dia makanan aku dah sampai
Aku order Fajitas mix (beef & chicken)
aku teringin betul sejak zul makan kat chillis aritu
Harga slightly cheap dari Chillis
tapi kat chillis ade udang...
kesedapan - sama dengan chillis


the whole set


cheese, sauce, veggies...
ni nak panggil apa..side ke condiments..ke sama?
hehehe


Meat maniac


Ni ribs yang Surfacing nanti-nantikan
memang portion die besar sikit la dari Roma's
and tender sungguhhhh daging dia
tapi Roma's menang dari segi variety sos yang dia ada



alamak lapar aku terus...


tak cukup rib dengan fajitas aku sekali dia kebas...
ehee...takdela sebenarnya aku tak habis makan...
ngeee


Bila perut dah kenyang
baru la happy muka masing-masing
Badan pon obvious mengembang





walaupun happy ade sedikit kelat lah bila dapat bil
habis tu kalau makan sedap-sedap
harus lah bayar pon sama mantap

gile kau...
ni dah sama ngan kos duit minyak aku untuk 2 minggu setengah
Jadi surfacing untuk 2 minggu yang akan datang ni,
kita makan kat rumah dulu baru keluar ok...
bajet.


for reference untuk sapa-sapa nak try makan sini later


Walaubagaimanapun kami berdua amat berpuas hati
dengan hidangan yang dah dilahap dengan rakusnya
Kalau ada rezeki boleh makan lagi


Ni lah perasaan kami lepas keluar dari restoran....
