My girl dah play barbie!

Why im so happy? Cos susah want to see her with girly stuff. . Both her and her cuzzy Sarah are more into dino, buzzlightyear, lego but not barbie... My last barbie purchase was three or four year, for Sarah, which later it was thrown away and left telanjang for few years..

and today Shasha want me to buy Barbie for her hihihihih. . I dont know why but i always relate Barbie and girls.girls life is not complete without Barbies. . Shallow maybe but that's what i feel... So now, next step, getting her to wear those colorful necklace i bought for her ;) 

 

...something ...

I was entering Permy Mall when i saw an old couple with a toddler in their hand. . Their cucu maybe..but its the way how they look at each other , and how the granpa was holding a bag of bread and all of them were eating from the plastic . .At that second, i felt something inside my heart which i cant explain. . How content they were with a loaf of bread, while in my house sometimes we have more than a loaf of roti, untouched , expired..and with all the nightly leftover..i just cant explained the feeling. . I smiled to the grandpa when we passed each other,at first he looked reluctant but it was followed by a very sincere smiled i ever saw in orang tua. .

I don't know siapa daknya, but mudahan tuhan murahkan rezeki sidaknya, and they get all the happiness that they deserve..

And me, i still can picture clearly what i saw this evening, and every times, my heart feel something which i cant explain...

Kerepek sukun and famos amos replica

Aiee biskut also got replica? Nay, its only that last time the recipe came to us stated "famos amos" but if i were to use the same nama, nanti kena saman.. But it taste almossssttttt the same , minus the nuts..

This is what i brought to office today. . A whole bag of kerepek sukun and the cookies. . Maybe im getting the japanese season of the month so i eat everything , i almost ballooned up in one day. . Yesterday my first day working after a week off , with all the bakery still closed for raya, and g mart feels like a thousand kilometer away (not even 3min walk actually) , yesterday was a disaster for a food monster like me. . So today pagi pagi i already packed the kerepek and the cookies in the ziplock and tadaaaaaa. . I have things to munch the whole day . . Happy happy!!!!

And i thought i am supposed to be slimmer this coming month. Sighhhh. . Foodie monster feeling confused. .i think i need ice cream. .

My version of hot wings . ;).

These couple of weeks my mind was haunted by hot wings.. And fair enough i cant find any good one in Miri. . And AFC , foodnetwork and TLC are not helping too. .so i ended up searching for hot wing recipes with uncle google. .

And i have found a few. . Took the one from neelys but when i tried , its not to my liking....sooo seperti biasa , me , self proclaimed ratu masak terjun, will throw in whatever i saw in the fridge. .

Anyway, done it twice and it was a hit with my friends and family. .(then my sis said the next time i cooked it it wont be the same cos i wont remember whatever i throw inside ;) )

Chix wing mix with smoked paprika , crushed garlic, garlic salt. . Marinade it for a day or an hour depend on how hurry and how hungry you are

Then i make the hot sauce. . This is the part where i row everything in.. Original recipe from the Neelys only need butter, peach preserve, tabasco sauce and soy sauce. . Mine since i don't have any peach preserve, i change to apricot jam instead. .tabasco i used smoked, and quite a lot. . Then i throw in sriracha thai hot sauce, extra hot, hoisin sauce, another splash of soy sauce to my liking. . Oh ya , lingam chili sauce. . And my secret ingredient , which is not secret as i told everybody of it ; coconut water. . Frankly i don't have any idea whats the function, but during my first trial of this wing i have a glass of fresh young coconut water next to me so i just throw it in. . Second time i used canned coconut drink..i warmed all the concoction with slow fire until it all thicken up and become syrupy . .

Then with the chix i double fry it. . I've read that when we fry it twice, first with slow 275 degree then with 375 degree , it will be luar crunchy but dalam the flesh not kering. . .so after finish the whole lot of first batch for eight min each, i turn up the heat and fry it at high fire for two min per batch..this is when my kitchen timer become handy. .

While im frying the chix, the sauce on the next stove always thicken up and become a lump. Just put it back on the fire and mix wit coconut drink and also honey..when the chix is ready, pick it up from the fryer and transfer it to another bowl..this is when you put the sauce bit by bit with every batch of the fried chix wing and mixed it well..this is to ensure all are coated while its still piping hot as it will hole the sauce better. .

Sedapppp. . For my liking lah... ;)

Gardening. . Once upon a neverland. .

Neverland. . Because its never happen. . Tried a few time, latest i bought pretty plant to tanam at the garden. . Wah with my semangat at that time, bought until 3 different colors, and imagining myself woke up at 6 every morning, wash my face and go outside to my garden and have wonderful conversation with my flowers. . Blessed with my love, they bloom into beautiful beautiful creeping plant, and my garden will have a mix of pearls grass and petunias and local petunias and whole lots more, just like the sight that pop out at google image. .

But in reality, i totally forgot that i bought those plants. . Its only that after three weeks i was checking my fish pond that something caught my attention . . 3 packs of dry tanah,ehhhhh, with dried flower in it!! 5 second passed, after cursing siapalaaa no head put this thing here, then only i realized, THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE MY BLOSSOMED PETUNIAS, OR LOCAL PETUNIAS OR WHATEVER THE NAME IS. Heeeeeee it was me all along with no head, just throw it they and hope the wonderful mother universe do her part. .
Soooo, i quickly took one of it, dig a ground and stuff the dry plant in it. . At least when my sai come back later he'll see that i did plant it as intended. .but kemarau come in the way, and it dried up all my three beautiful plant. . Okey done. .

So today i resort that im not that outdoor gardening person. . I just don't have the hand for it. .you need to have jeng jeng jenggggg.....THE HAND. If not just forget it. .

today my visit to Kai Nguong, i suddenly have another vision. . Not involving my garden, but involving my bare verandah, with little direct sunlight because of the awning. . Hhmmmmm. . Maybe I'm not the tanah person but it doesn't mean i cant be the verandah person. . Hihihihihi good luck to myself

Xoxo

Fried milkyways n mars. .

See that oily gooeeyyy thing?next to the sukun. . That is my failed semi-ok choco fritters . .when i was frying my sukun this afternoon, i have the leftover batter. .so apple dAh masok,whats next? So teringat lah tek with one of the rancangan in afc, where they fried their choco and all other things imaginable . So me being me, mulalah unwrap two milkyways and two mars . . Dip dip and tadaaaaa. . The thing is bersalut with thick batter n swimming in the hot pool. . But, to my dismay, the batter cannot stick to the choc, dont know mars or milkyways, but the gooeyy gooeey thing floated out instead. And it doesnt look like fritter, let alone choc fritters. I made four, one already find its home in the bin cos it looks really like gam basikal mixed with milo thrown in the pan. Ha . Tak apalah, will try it again in d future. .the one in the pix,yang ini maybe i frame kot. .put at my living room. . ,first attempt..failed with Kepujian. .

Digi kad raya. . .snoopy?
