my home made cooking..

 

do i love cooking ? it doesn't matter whether i like it or not..the only things that matter is en shahir and my kids love to eat whatever i cooked for them without complain...  but with compliments  :)  some dialogue that encourage me to cook more often are like; 
 

• en shahir:    "ayam tu nampak manthap" "uihh...tak bleh tahan tgk daging kicap tuh"  "tolong panaskan lauk semalam, sy nak makan la".... 
• auni:            "sedapnye mummy masak"  "mummy masak sedaaapp sangat"... 
• adam:          "no sound" makan apa saja!! heheh..

compliment is such a small thing but very powerful in making us feel wonderful. It feels great to receive compliment and it makes me feel valued and yes does boost my self-esteem.. to that, i am happy to explore many more recipes and i tried to cook different food every time..

 

am i good at cooking ? erm.. can i say yes..?! heheh... initially i dont really cook for other or big crowd besides for my husband and my kids..and i dont feel confident to cook for my PIL even..since my MIL is really good at cooking.. but nowaday my mother, my cousin, my brother, my niece and others often saying that my dishes are tasty. they even requested specific menu for me to cook. So since they love my cooking.. i am always happy to cook for them.. i always take this opportunity to try whatever meal that i want, and their happy to eat.. regardless how it turn out. heheh...

 

recently i bought an oven.. my 1st ever oven. so that i have tried oven baking meals.. the easiest as starting was sherphard pie and tomato sauce cheese baked meatballs... i will not share the recipe here..just google and thousand ways of preparing your sherphard pie are on the internet...
 

 

 

 

 

auni celebrated her 4th birthday on 23 december 2012.. the same date also marked our 5th anniversary.. i prepared late dinner. i am very new to baking but yet i'm very proud of it. sherphard pie is very simple, easy and delicious. it turn out that everybody loves it..  me love it too... simple yet tasty. healthy?! i'm not really sure.but inside are minch meat, vegetables and potatoes. so i can say its healthy meal except for the cheese topping.

 

 



 

my assistant.. they were really excited..

 

 

en shahir prefer eating at home.. but he has no objection for us to dine out sometimes. but with kids age 4 and 1 half... it is yet easire for us to just buy packed food and eat at home. but we sometimes are out of idea on what to pack for dinner... nasi goreng..mee goreng... nasi goreng... mee goreng... which ended up me coooking.. some simple dishes like udang paprik, telur bistik and to be honest en shahir will only ask me to make telur mata kerbau for him with hot steam rice.

 

i can conclude that en shahir is a nasi person. the upbringing has taught him to be that way. he will not prefer mee or bihun sup or anything like that. this is the part that i really feel lucky...lucky that i will need to prepapre the lauk pauk. it was a bit hard earlier tho. yes..he just need that telur mata kerbau.. but i have to explore. after 5 years of marriage i have to be thankful to him for that. i am confident to cook now. i dont care whather others will like my cooking or not..the most important thing, is that en shahir and my kids like it.

pizza roti gardenia.... roti expired

happy deepavali to all my indian friends.. ramai ke my indian friends? erm...ermmm... Sithra from cosec group the only that i can remember. who else yer... driver company also indian..and not to forget my neighbour pon india. so far thats all...

 

btw, cuti tengah2 minggu memang membahagiakan.. we didnt plan for anything... akhirnya melepak sahaja di rumah.. while en shahir cuci tiga2 kereta...

we started our day dengan melihat roti gardenia yang dah expired 3 days before... but well kept in the fridge.. condition still ok..hijau2..change of color: none. so sebab didnt have the courage enough to eat just like that... so i baked them into the oven instead.. put some tomato sauce base, tomatoes, capsicum, sausage and mozarella.... then bakar into the oven...

 

 

very fast and easy.. just make sure that u have your cheese in you keeping.. sadly roti cuma ada 7 keping... auni requested for more. sorry la kakak... nanti2 mummy buat lagi...

craving for ketam..

kani-crab-ketam

i dont know how to clean ketam.. but i love ketam..even if its a hassle to eat them, it does kind of hurt my fingers but it taste good and  am still love them.. my momo always did the cleaning..

 

masak lemak cili api ketam nenas is not an alien to malaysian ketam lovers.. really delicious and satisfying.. however en shahir will never prefer for masak gulai lemak. for him ketam tu still smelly.. so i have to look for alternatives.. besides gulai lemak.. biasanya i deep fried dan tumis sambal.. but recently i learned ketam goreng telur masin.. en shahir shared his story dining at marina tanjung lumpur.. it was really good he said.. i want to give a try then..

 

i planned to look for ketam tomorrow.. but looking at my calendar.. 24 Zulhijjah.. alamak..will have to wait at least another 2 weeks untill full moon.. the tips is during full moon more crabs, solid and heavy crabs could be caught.. i have to wait then.. :(

Patchi boleh didapati di outlet2 tertentu shj. di mid valley.. klcc.. and bangsar... saya tak pegi beli pon.. mintak tlg orang order kan...

whittakers

Sy ni mmg suka chocolate2 yang ada wafer ka.. almond ka.. hazel nut ka.. yg pure chocolate bar pon sukker gak..tp kurang sikitla.

whittaker my sil beli di langkawi...byk sungguh dia borong cokelat kat sana. balik2 alor setar tuuu dia cokelat berlambak. hahahah..seronok budak2. tapi this whittakers baru first time saya rasa. harga pon x mahal.. my sis kata 3 ketul tu rm6.50... tidakkah itu murah... haiyoyoyo... saper2 nak pi langkawi..nak pesan boleh ?!!!!





Auni loves tuna spaghetti...

Rupanya anak dara sorang ni suka makan spaghetti yer.... baru la mummy tau.... requested by abah... auni pon rupanya suka jugak....

Menu hujung minggu hari tu... tuna spaghetti... biasa nya saya guna mince meet... tapi kali ni kiter tukar tuna... ermm... lazat... plus..biasanya saya guna speghetti yang tebal tuh...tapi kali ni saya guna angle hair... haluih sket.... bersungguh sungguh auni makan... pagi makan...tghri pon makan... baguss...bagusss...

auni mmg kurang berminat makan.... dier lebih prefer susu.. nestum2 mmg dier tak layan... dulu adalah semusim yang indah ajer dier makan bubur... to bila gigi dah naik banyak... dier tak sukker lansung food yang lembik2 nih....

jennuh dulu memikir menu untuk dia... tp mmg obvious yang dier sukker mi & bihun... nasi sekadar 2 3 suap ajer... tp semenjak dua menjak ni.. ada bersungguh sikit dier makan... mi sup... kuew tiau sup... spaghetti... alhamdulillah la... ada lega sikit.. kalau bubur nasi ada sosej... dia pulun makan sosej ajer.. yg lain tinggal... kalau ada kentang pon... yang lain tinggal... makan memilih sket...

so bila masak hujung minggu hari tuh.. tgk dier makan bersungguh sungguh... kita pon amatla SUPER HAPPY !

Nasi Arab jom~~

Pernah cuba tak nasi arab?! ini kali ke dua saya cuba nasi arab... dan selepas kali ke dua la baru jatuh cinta dengan nasi arab... sedap!!

lamb aukdah - kambing yang dihancurkan... sedap !

ada dua pilihan... samaada anda suka ayam ataupon kambing.... dan saya memilih kambing !! owwhh...sedap sungguh....

lamb aukdah - makan bersama roti arab

kiri: hummus - makan bersama roti arab --> yang ni x berapa kena dengan selera saya
kanan: Salad Arab & Chicken Kabsah

Kenapa saya suka nasi arab.... nasinyer sahaja dah sedap ! bila makan plak dengan kambing dan sup dier... owwhh... bertambahla manthap nyer! Nasi nyer panjang2 dan sebutir sebutir... makan bersama sup yang ada rasa masam2 sikit... dan kambing yang juicy.... dan yang paling sedapp bila di campur dengan air asam nyer yang amat lain dengan air asam kiter... tp mmg sedap.

Satu set saya order... nasinya banyak. boleh kongsi makan berdua...

kali ke dua saya makan nasi arab di Arabic food di area TTDI Jaya... katanya ada cawangan yang sama di seksyen 7 shah alam.. near to Unisel - lokasi sebenar x pasti... kali pertama saya makan nasi arab bos belanja nasi arab dari cyberjaya... tapi xsedap... rasa kering dan x sesuai lansung....

kali ke dua makan di TTDI Jaya ni barulah rasa sedap... dan ingin meng"reccomend" pada semua... cuba jangan x cuba....... sedap!

udang hot & spicy KFC sedap !

saya sudah makan dan saya rasa ianya sungguh sedap dan menyelerakan dan rasa nak lagi dan rasa tak cukup sebab ada 3 ketul jer.. dan kalau ku tahu sedap ku beli lagi byk..... masyaAllah nafsu berpuasa :p

eh betol tau ! mmg sedap ! cubala rasa.... tujuan saya mengorder 3 ketul jer tuh sebab sekadar nak mencuba.. alamak rasa nak lagi la plak...

kenapa rasa sedap ?! mungkin sebab kepadatan daging ayam x sama dengan kepadatan daging udang yang ciput tuh... benda sikit mmg lagi sedap kan ?! keduanya mungkin manis udang amat bersesuai dengan hot & spice tuh... huhuhu... ini pendapat perbiadi yer...

jadi kawan2 sila la yer... jgn malu2... KFC bagi air sirap lagi ! (air sirap jer~~ sesuai la kan di bulan puasa nih...kang kalau perut pedih minum air gas... aa tanggung la sendiri)

Minute Maid Orange Juice--sodap!

Dah rasa Minute Maid Pulpy Oren jus nih ?! ermm.... sedap ! especially kalau baru bawak kuar dari peti ais... oohh~~ amat melegakan tekak... sedap ! xberapa masam... xberapa manis... elok2 je rasanya.... pada saya lagi sedap dari Peel Fresh...

Lagipun ni murah 40sen dari peel fresh... hati tu beli kat Giant.. rm 4.49... peel fresh rm 4.89 :p

Tapi Minute Maid mmg lagi sedap la !~
