Today's menu
Today, I decided to prepare something special for my berbuka puasa. Sebelum nih special jugak cuma tak sempat nak tangkap gambar cos I was dead hungry. Headed home from lab at 4.30pm and dinner's ready at 6pm. Sejak jadi mommy nih, multitasking is at its best. Bukak puasa pukul 5.27pm minum milo ice dulu :))
Bon appetit!

Fasting while breastfeeding
As the holy month of Ramadhan is approaching, I am just wondering what was your experience fasting while breastfeeding?
From a little web research, most of the moms were saying it is okay to fast unless your baby isn't getting enough milk. But when you are fasting, the amt of fat in the milk is reduced so it might affect your baby's growth. I would like to give it a try and see whether my milk supply is significantly reduced or not. Since she is exclusively on breastmilk, I do not want to see her starving :( And the summer heat is killing me. Thank god I didn't live on campus anymore so I don't have to bike to school, kalau tidak pengsan!
Anyway, in another note, I made karipap pusing dengan jayanya last weekend and froze them down for Ramadhan's prep. Alritey, takde cerita sebenarnye. Til then!
Takdelah cantik sangat cam karipap makcik kat kedai tuh, tapi bolehlah kan :)
P/S: Tahun lepas puasa penuh sebab pregnant with Faliela. Tahun nih nak puasa penuh lagi, tapi kena pregnant lagi lah camtuh. Erk?

Spring, Food and Bizarre Weather
This is why I love a 3-day weekend...
I got the time to cook variety of makanan kampung today. I was itching to cook all these after reading Ayu and Kak Yani's blog but had no chance to do so.
From clockwise: Ketam masak lemak cili api, daging goreng kunyit, timun+tomato cicah sambal tempoyak ikan bilis,kerabu mangga,sambal ikan bilis tempe,kerang rebus and air asam kerisik.
Most of the recipes were 'imported' from kak yani and ayu's blog, my cooking guru =)
And yesterday, we had the opportunity to tick off many more baby's items since Jai had his day off.
As well as capturing pictures of spring debut appearance in Davis! It was nice and sunny (but cold!), however it won't last that long as a series of raining will be coming again by the end of next week. Urgh!
Alright.Nak sykpe dengan mak.Nasib baik ada gambar, kalo tak mesti dia ingat suara jantan garau mana yang call dia =P

Cherry blossom usually is the first one to bloom
I have not watched Winter Sonata, but I think this picture reminded me of that series.
I have no idea what is the name of this pokok, but I think it is poisonous. Rupa macam berry.
And it is in front of my house!
Bunga rumput (memandai je bagi nama), these too were right at our doorstep.
Jai nih suka buat muka ketat tau!
Oh, I was down with cough and sore throat since Thursday. Shoot an email to my midwife and she was suggesting, steam,hydration and plain Robitussin or plain Mucinex. I went to pharmacy yesterday to buy the suggested cough syrup, asked the pharmacist which one is the plain version and he was quite reluctant to let me take any cough medicine as I am pregnant. He has a thick Vietnamese accent and from what I understand, he was saying the effect could go to central nervous system, so does to baby CNS. I woke up today to find I have lost my voice. So, right now, I have no other choices other than trying natural cough remedies, such as honey, lemon from what my friends suggested. The cough gets worse at night when the outside temperature drops to below 4C and this bizarre weather hitting Davis the past few weeks doesn't help either. You know, one week of sunny and warm weather at 24C then went down again for another week to 8C. That goes on and on.......
Alright.Nak sykpe dengan mak.Nasib baik ada gambar, kalo tak mesti dia ingat suara jantan garau mana yang call dia =P

Gulai tempoyak
Bila Shila tulis entry makan gulai tempoyak ikan patin, aku telan air liur. Dahla bulan pose.
Then, I decided to give my mom a call asking how to make gulai tempoyak. Obviously, I need tempoyak. Tu lah, waktu mak buat tempoyak tak nak belajar. Anyway, it was easy. You just need durian, garam sikit and an empty bottle. Mama cakap kalau durian kampung lagi sedap, tapi sini ade durian Thailand frozen je, so belasahla kan.
Tara! Tempoyak buat sendiri. Lepas letak durian and garam dalam botol, letak dalam sehari dua dekat luar then leh masuk dalam fridge. Jangan letak luar lama2 sebab leh meletup sebab durian tuh undergo fermentation process kan, so banyak gas dalam botol tuh. Tempoyak nih leh tahan bertahun2 kalau letak dalam fridge.
Tak tau lah gulai tempoyak Pahang dengan Perak lain ke tak, tapi lebih kurang cam nih lah resipi mak aku bagi.For recipe, click HERE. Orang Perak letak timun dalam gulai tempoyak. Kalau nak buat sambal tempoyak, gaullah tempoyak tuh dengan cili merah,cili padi, ikan bilis sikit. Heaven! Aku buat gulai udang sebab takdak ikan.
Tu cerita sebelum mabuk lah. Lepas mabuk, tengok gambar tempoyak pun rasa nak muntah. Nih tengah taip sebelah mata. Hehe. Rindu makanan kampung ;(

Ramadhan's cooking
First day Iftar
Second day Iftar
Husband had to work until late so I ate alone, goreng telur je and makan dengan lauk semalam.
Fourth day Iftar
Husband's off day 2. This time I cooked my favorite lauk ie: tomyam campur and ikan pari bakar Sg. Perak cicah air asam kerisik as well as pecal. Tried to make kuih keria for the second time but I pour off too much flour, it was hard-macam-batu. Hahaha. Makan kuih lopes semalam sudah.
Today is the 5th day of Ramadhan. I'm making roti jala! Oh, surfing other people's blog really helped me yang dah mati kutu nak masak ape hari2. Hehehe. Happy fasting :)
Husband was not supposed to be back before breaking-fast. At 6.30pm, he called telling me he would be back by 8.15pm. Maghrib was 8.07pm. I was planning to cook asam pedas on that day but haven't started preparing as I thought I will be breaking-fast alone. While preparing the ikan, my throat was craving for something sweet such as 'buah melaka'. At 7.30pm, after placing the ikan pari in the steamer, I went searching for buah melaka recipe. As what I recalled, it was not that hard. Luckily, I have all the ingredients in the fridge. Kalau kat Malaysia, semua fresh but here it all came frozen. Daun pandan frozen, kelapa frozen but it is so convenient. Anyway, buah melaka siap at 8.00pm!
Yang lain2 tuh, lauk sahur malam sebelumnya. Ayam masak kicap (Oya's recipe), kari ikan, sambal udang
Second day Iftar
Husband had to work until late so I ate alone, goreng telur je and makan dengan lauk semalam.
Third day Iftar
Husband had his off day today. He requested his favorite lauk, daging masak merah, telur masak lemak and also kuih lopes. I tried a new recipe from Ayu, sotong masak rempah which was yummy! Reminded myself of this one lauk they usually served for lunch at Padang. |

Tutorial laksa kuala
As requested by Mrs. Dot, here is the recipe of laksa kuala kangsar.
Resipi nih diambil dari Makcik Ani kat Manjoi. Mak aku suka order kuih basah kat Makcik Ani nih, sebab kuih dia sedap, pastuh die charge murah je. Apehal citer pasal kuih nih?
Anyway, start dari kuah dulu k. Kuah eloknye masak sehari sebelum, baru rasa masam2 die tuh kuar, jadik lagi sedap.
Kuah:
1kg ikan (campur ikan kembung: ikan sardin 1:2)
Bawang besar 3 biji
Cili kering 50 gm
Belacan 1/2 sudu besar
Asam keping (7-10)
Daun kesum (satu ikat)
Garam
So sape2 tak pernah masak laksa, nih dia cara2 buat kuah laksa
1. Rebus ikan, lepas tuh asingkan isi dengan tulang. Air rebusan ikan jangan buang.
2. Blend isi sampai hancur, masukkan dalam air rebusan ikan (kuah).Then blend tulang sampai hancur, kalau nak tambah air dalam blender tuh pakai air rebusan ikan tuh jugak. Pastuh tapis masukkan sekali dalam kuah.
3. Blend bawang dan cili kering. Cili kering aku rebus dulu sampai kuar biji, kang sakit perut makan biji banyak sgt. Cili kering tuh ikut kepedasan macam mana korang nak k. Kalau cili tuh super hot power, tak yah lah buh sampai 50gm, berasap telinga.
4. Then masukkan daun kesum, mak aku kata lagi banyak daun kesum lagi sedap. So, buh lah sepokok.
5. Then masukkan belacan dan asam keping. Bila dah mendidih, baru buh garam.
Resipi laksa tepung beras (untuk 10 orang makan):
Bahan A (Kanji)
4 cawan air sejuk
1/2 cawan tepung beras
Bahan B
2 cwn tepung beras
3 cwn tepung gandum
2 cwn tepung ubi
Cara-cara:
1. Satukan bahan A, kemudian masak atas api hingga jadi kanji (likat). Bila dah jadi likat, tutuplah api.
2. Then, satukan bahan B dan campurkan kanji ke dalam campuran bahan B tadi.
3. Ayak hingga sebati. Part nih susah sikit sebab kanji tuh very the hot, unless korang ada tangan incredible hulk boleh la ayak pakai tangan. Kalau tak pakailah senduk dulu sampai adunan tuh jadi sejuk sikit.
4. Panaskan api dalam periuk besar hingga mendidih. Kena mendidih betul2, kalau tak mendidih tak jadi.
5. Amik acuan muruku, sumbat adunan tuh sampai penuh, pastuh pusing masukkan dalam air panas tadi. Gambar klik SINI
6. Laksa tuh consider masak kalau die timbul, kejap je dalam beberapa second dah masak. Pastuh angkat cepat2 rendamkan dalam air sejuk sebelum ditoskan. Kalau tak rendam dalam air sejuk die jadi melekit.
Gambar laksa+ kuah tak yah upload lah, dekat entry lepas2 dah ade.
In the end, dapur korang akan bersepah dengan tepung, dahi rambut penuh dengan tepung tapi kalau korang suka makan laksa, worth it gila I tell you.
Laksa utara lain sikit dari laksa kuala kangsar sebab laksa utara pakai lengkuas. Oh, bunga kantan kalau ade masukkan lah. Kalau takde pun tak ape, sedap juga :)
Laksa utara paling sedap pernah aku makan dekat Sg. Petani, sebelah Petronas Bakar Arang.
Nih time aku balik Mesia sengsorang tahun lepas. Tok jai temankan aku makan laksa. Oh, kedai tuh ade jual cendol dengan bihun sup gak :)
Lapar pulak tetiba :P Selamat mencuba!

Laksa tepung beras, kaler die putih keruh tak macam laksa jual kat kedai. Resipi kat atas dapat laksa banyak nih

Laksa power Bakar Arang, kedai die kecik je, bukak dari kul 11 pagi kot, tapi pukul 4-5 petang tuh selalunye dah abis lah laksa die.
Nih time aku balik Mesia sengsorang tahun lepas. Tok jai temankan aku makan laksa. Oh, kedai tuh ade jual cendol dengan bihun sup gak :)

One more week to go!
Another week to go before I'm done with classes! I'm done DONE! No more classes after this, provided I pass my QE in September.
I haven't start studying yet (sigh), but I have, at least, made an effort to
Anyway, this week has been too overwhelming for me. I have 2 concurrent animal experiments running and there are another 4-5 weeks to go, hopefully kucing2 tuh sakit cepat sikit, cepat sikit habis experiment. Tak baik tau, cakap cat lover! Oh, I tak pernah tengok kucing2 tuh, sebab tuh takde perasaan.
Speaking of which, I need a break, like pronto! We already made plans for our summer trip but we are withholding it until July so that I can finish up my lab work. This weekend is a 3-day weekend, but we have no plan. At first, we wanted to join Midwest Games but Jai sakit bahu dah 2 bulan tak baik, so takde maknanye pergi sana tak main ape2 nox.Nak main volleyball pakai tangan, main badminton pakai tangan, main bowling pun pakai tangan. Yang pakai mulut takde :( Thinking of going somewhere for a weekend getaway, but Jai pulak busy. Help! I need to escape from Davis.. urghhh!
Oh, aku dah belajar buat karipap dari Kak Shaida.
Ok. Entry nih memang takde makna. Aku tgh sakit jiwa, banyak kerja.
I haven't start studying yet (sigh), but I have, at least, made an effort to
- deactivate my facebook
- organizing notes and books

Tutorial cheese cake
My long weekend was so unproductive.. Sleeping,eating,watching TV were the only thing I did during the 3 days holiday. So, before it comes to the end, lets make the remaining time useful! Jai requested another round of cheese cake so I'm taking this opportunity to post a tutorial of my version of cheese cake :)
1. Prepare digestive/sweet biscuits. In the US, I usually used NILA but in Malaysia, I think biskut Marie will do. Place the biscuits in a plastic bag. Crush them with anything hard until they are finely crushed.
2. Then, melt around 8 tablespoons of butter. After they are fully melted, mix them with the biscuits crumble.
3. Press the mixture into a cake pan. Place them in a fridge while preparing cheesecake.
4. Beat 4 eggs and 180g of castor sugar in a bowl (Note: US version of castor sugar is called fine sugar)
5. Then, in an another bowl, beat ~450g of cream cheese (I think Philadelphia cream cheese tasted better than Lucerne, I don't know what brand they have in Malaysia)
6. Then, mix those two together plus 2 teaspoons of vanilla flavoring and beat until it turns smooth.
7. Pour the mixture into the cake pan and bake for 1 1/2 hours at 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
8. Chill the cake for a while before serving.
Selamat mencuba :)

A fulfilling day!
After reading Ayu's blog, we had an instant craving of steamboat! Our steamboat spread :)
A nice portrait of a 'family' who was having a perfect time together :) (note: my cat)
Jai bought me these! Just in case I miss him in the future :)
He will be very busy for next few weeks to come and I'm leaving him for 4 days as I have to attend a conference next week. Apart from PMS, the reason why I was being so clingy probably because I was having difficult time with my classes, you know a lot of assignments and presentations.So, no one I could bitchin' to about my work when I'm home so it made me stressed out. I wish this quarter will drift away fast.. as fast as possible.. speaking which, I have to work on my next week's presentation. Oh god, please let it go away. Anyway, thank you so much Ayu for your support. I really need that! Thanks to hubby too, you're the best dear!

My productive weekend!
I'm answering to your post, Zie :)
I had a VERY productive weekend by the way :)
Kicked off Saturday morning by watching old movie starring Hugh Grant called Extreme Measures on Netflix (where they send you DVDs and you can watched selected movies from your computer for a reasonable charge).
Around noon, I went to my lab, settled some work and went home 2 hours later. Stopped by at a grocery store to get puff pastry as I wanted to make a meat pie, ended up with stuffs to make cheese cake as well. Take note, don't go for grocery shopping when you were fasting :) Yes, I was fasting during the weekend .
Hubby was working til late so I decided tomake him fat cook something special for him! Mula-mula masak nasi goreng kampung for my break-fast. Ok, my favorite meal in Malaysia is nasi goreng kampung and tomyam campur tapi saya tak pernah cuba masak nasi goreng kampung and to tell you the truth, itulah nasi goreng yang paling senang untuk dibuat ok. Sebelum ni kalau masak nasi goreng mesti taruk cili boh, so confirm lah color dah lain kan. Ha, terus taip bahasa Mesia, excited punya pasal dapat masak nasi goreng kampung.
Then, ada ikan pari lebih dalam fridge, buat asam pedas ikan pari. Ok, asam pedas instant ye, tak tau masak from scratch, lagipun nak cari daun kesum nun jauh kat Sacramento, tak kuasa ok. Lepas tuh, I marinated chicken with spices for ayam goreng berempah.
Ok, lepas dah kenyang berbuka, terus menyesal kenapa lah beli bahan2 buat cheese cake. Boleh la simpan dalam fridge, tapi alamatnya tak akan buat lah sampai 3 bulan akan datang. So, I went ahead making cheese cake and meat pie. Inilah resultnya!
Jai adalah sangat happy sebab die ada banyak makanan untuk supper for few days to come. Harap maklum winter adalah season menggemukkan badan sebab perut cepat lapar!
I spent my Sunday writing an abstract for 2 hours, later to find out I wrote wrong data for the abstract. Urghhhh!! Dahlah ada quiz on Monday and tak study lagi.. Anyway, I managed to study ape yang patut and redo the abstract.Oh lupe, I was on Skype call with my friend/my colleague, Hayah who currently studying in Glasgow. It has been almost a year since the last time I called her, so banyak gossip sharing dan seumpama dengannya. Rindu dengan zaman tiada kerja :)
Oklah peeps! I'm so tired after 2-hour long discussion with my supervisor and a quiz today, so mau duk melepak saja hari ini. Chau!

An evening with hubby...
We rarely spend our time together since he started working.. He works at night and sleep during the day. By the way, my mom called him burung hantu/owl.... Kuikuikui...
By the time he gets up, it will be already late to enjoy the sunshine.
Lately, after work, he gets home, change his attire and go for a 30-minute jog. Reason? His blood pressure was high and he was afraid of dying young :). It is too early for me to join him for a morning jog cos I'm not a morning person... :P
Today, he asked me to join him again for a badminton game. I joined him last week and it was fun. And, that will be the only reason he can gets up earlier than usual.
Later, we went for a picnic in North Davis. Surprisingly, I did not explore the whole Davis yet. I wanted to have picnic somewhere near and upon "Googling", I found this place on the website .
Oh, I cooked nasi beriyani and dalca for the first time. I used a ready-made Beriani herbs, so it was not that hard. And then, making dalca is almost similar to making curry, except that you have to boil the dhal first before you add it to your curry mix.
Hubby was enjoying his favorite, Nasi Beriani by the lake in North Davis Park.. I wish I knew how to cook the Johor style, Nasi Beriani Gam cos he is one of the fans of Nasi Beriani Gam Putrajaya..
Nice kan the place? Very well maintain and the surrounding is very calm and peaceful...
That's all for now.. I have another week to go before finals! Yeehaaaaaaaaa, holidays..........

Another tiring weekend..
I am way too tired....
Anyway, I had a blast day... Thank God, it's over.... It was the Malaysian Culture "Syok" event, where I was in-charge of cooking. Luckily, my "Seri Muka" turned up just fine.
So guys, just enjoy the pictures k... Am going to sleep for 12 hrs straight probably right after this :)
By the way, me and Jai were wearing our solemnization dress merely for the fashion show.. Jai refused to wear the Kadazan dress because it will be too sexy for his tummy :) Feels like we're getting married again though!
That's Farah with her boyfriend, Philip... Philip was wearing baju melayu!
Jai tried very hard to look cute!
Me and Adilla were busy serving the guests
Two "gays" in between...
Isn't he cute????
We are Ipoh girls!! They said Ipoh girls are blur :(
Feeling patriotic....
I am off................zzzzzzzz
