<br />
Doing what I do now, I am thinking of starting to blog again.<br />
<br />
Yes, I had 'privatised' my blog previously due to unreasonable tracking (stalking??) by someone, but I am now at the stage where I just go "Do I Even Care????"<br />
<br />
And so, stay tuned.<br />

It is nearing the end of Ramadhan, with only a week left. <br />
<br />
Sad to see this Holy month leave us, so let's all pray and make du'a that we get to meet with Ramadhan again next year.<br />
<br />
More of our iftar menu...<br />

I am having a rather bad headache today, so I'm only putting up pics. No mood to type the recipes, besides, the meals were all so simple! :p<br />
<br />
Let's hope I feel better since I am unable to take meds.<br />

It's already the 20th Day of Ramadhan. <br />
<br />
Oh my... How time flies! I remember as a child when Ramadhan used to feel as though it was endless, and now I wonder at how fast this holy month is leaving us. <br />
<br />
Every year, I try to make my Ramadhan more meaningful than the previous years, and so far, progress has been slow. I am hoping that next year when Aina is older, I can do much better, and at the same time teach her to welcome and appreciate this Holy month.<br />
<br />
Anyway, here's more of our daily iftar menu :)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjdsoLCghKIfDVOs1sv5EXpSz5PPmZPnYb7u0wfZbjDDQIoarCPu8MWnpa4KEj1Zn9-WpJbC-qHKe0855TWjVBHKsunyTKAU3Edl1JHgx6TghiH3_AH1wjU2MpQyOc_IDkxLxgEp_TrhU/s1600/day+14.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjdsoLCghKIfDVOs1sv5EXpSz5PPmZPnYb7u0wfZbjDDQIoarCPu8MWnpa4KEj1Zn9-WpJbC-qHKe0855TWjVBHKsunyTKAU3Edl1JHgx6TghiH3_AH1wjU2MpQyOc_IDkxLxgEp_TrhU/s640/day+14.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Day 14, I had BFFs over for iftar since hubby was not in. I decided on a simple meal of Noodles with Spicy Beef Broth, <em>Cucur Bawang</em> and <em>Roti John</em> (which was really bland and tasteless!). BFFs brought a whole lot of goodies, too!<br />
<br />
I am sharing the basic recipe for the broth/gravy here...<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #741b47;"><strong><u>SPICY BEEF GRAVY</u></strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47;"><em>you need:</em></span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47;">beef pieces - use a mix of cuts to get the most flavour!</span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47;">- can be pre-boiled until tender if preferred. reserve the stock.</span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47;"><strong><em>blend to a paste:</em></strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47;">10 - 15 dried chillies - soaked in hot water</span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47;">10 shallots</span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47;">2 large onions</span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47;">4 - 5 cloves garlic</span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47;">1-inch piece ginger</span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47;">beef stock</span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47;">salt, pepper</span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47;"><strong>Garnishes</strong> (use whatever you prefer):</span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47;">Fishball</span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47;">Fish cake</span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47;">Cabbage</span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47;">Chinese greens</span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47;">Bean sprouts</span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47;"><em>method:</em></span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47;">heat oil in a large pot and fry the spice paste until fragrant. add in the beef stock and bring up to a boil. lower heat and add in the beef pieces, salt & pepper. cook for about 20 minutes, letting all the ingredients blend well, then add in the fishball, fishcake, and preferred vegetables. as soon as the gravy starts boiling again, leave to boil for 2 - 3 minutes, then turn off heat.</span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47;">place fresh egg noodles in a serving bowl and pour gravy over. alternatively, you can blanch and serve each garnish items separately, but I chose this way to save on washing up!! LOL!</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And on Day 15, since I wanted to start clearing out my fridge, I decided to make Fried Rice and made some Sambal Gravy for the mussels. Simple, and yet SOOO satisfying!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Let's hope the rest of Ramadhan will bring all of us much barakah!</div>

I have been ridiculously tired these few days, to the point that I'd fall dead to the world WAAAYY before Aina!! :p<br />
<br />
NOT good, because she might sleep late, resulting in her being sleepy the next morning. BUT, so far, Alhamdulillah... she's not given me much trouble in that department.<br />
<br />
Two weeks of Ramadhan, and I am glad to say that we have managed to avoid wastage in terms of food. Yes, sometimes our table may seem to be laden with loads of dishes, they are in small quantities, and we can usually finish it all :)<br />

Day 11 was Iftar at Mom's place, so obviously there was food all over the table! LOL! I only made a simple dessert, and the rest was Mom. Oh yeah... the <em>kuih</em> was from the local shop and it was only <em><strong>then</strong></em> that I managed to get my yummy <em>kuih cara berlauk</em>!! :D<br />

I made bubur sum-sum on Day 13 since my BFF also LOVES it! It is ridiculously easy to make, and since it seems HUBBY also has taken to it, it'll be repeated again soon :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<span style="color: purple;"><strong><u>BUBUR SUM-SUM</u></strong></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: purple;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: purple;"><em>you need:</em></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: purple;">A: 1 cup rice flour</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: purple;"> 750ml coconut milk</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: purple;"> pandan leaves, knotted</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: purple;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: purple;">B: 1 block gula Melaka, chopped</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: purple;"> 2 Tbs white sugar</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: purple;"> 1/4 cup water</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: purple;"> pandan leaves, knotted</span></div>
<span style="color: purple;"></span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"><em>how to:</em></span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">place items A in a pot and place over low heat. stir throughout the cooking process, and continue cooking until the mixture comes together in a shiny, sticky, thick 'batter'. pour into a large baking tray and let cool. mixture will harden slightly; cut before serving. alternatively, pour a small amount into individual serving dishes.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"></span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">place items B in a pot and place over low heat. cook until all sugar is dissolved. strain into bowl and cool before serving.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"></span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">to serve : pour the sugar syrup over the rice 'pudding' and ENJOY!</span><br />
<br />
<br />
I am usually NOT into desserts but every Ramadhan, I get the urge to make all sorts of traditional desserts and I have my favourites. Bubur Sum-Sum is one of them, also Sago Gula Melaka, and various types of <em>pengat</em>. Yuppss... I'm all for 'soupy' desserts, not so much for <em>kuih-muih</em>.<br />
<br />
Anyway, here's wishing Happy Iftar to all, and let's make the rest of Ramadhan better for all of us :)<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If you notice, <i>kuih cara berlauk</i> appears quite a few times in my iftar menu. I am still searching for the perfect one, and so far, no luck yet! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<i>Ikan pekasam</i>, or preserved/pickled fish is definitely a must-have in your fridge. It helps tease your palate at times when you don't feel like eating, and believe me, if you've never had it, you MUST try!!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeoOVcFZPq-uvj0fqKRbVNl-O7C-CUldYjaSM3pJSJu9hmuK9FtvRhU2bswwDDxk9tCdDTQo6JLWuOU1AjLKzMswR19Q0KE78oB9wrLV3dg8ziw4DmDSFJgiHMJM3-r8wtucPONXD0qgs/s1600/Iftar-09.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeoOVcFZPq-uvj0fqKRbVNl-O7C-CUldYjaSM3pJSJu9hmuK9FtvRhU2bswwDDxk9tCdDTQo6JLWuOU1AjLKzMswR19Q0KE78oB9wrLV3dg8ziw4DmDSFJgiHMJM3-r8wtucPONXD0qgs/s1600/Iftar-09.jpg" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
And suddenly I had the urge to prepare Nyonya-style fish head curry. (note the presence of <i>cara berlauk</i> again?) I had BFF over for Iftar again since she's all alone here.<br />
<br />
I can't think of recipes to share since I am <i style="font-weight: bold;">that</i> sleepy, so I think I'll stop now :p<br />
<br />
Hope you enjoy the pics, and get some ideas for your own Iftar menu :D :D :D<br />

And so I'm back!<br />
<br />
Well, it may not be on a daily basis, but I am trying my best to be more consistent :)<br />
<br />
Here's sharing Iftar day 5 and 6.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Day 5, we had Raihan at home hence the slightly more than usual dishes on the table. Since hubby especially LOVES my sambal tumis, I am sharing that particular recipe here :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #741b47;"><strong><u>SAMBAL TUMIS</u></strong></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #741b47;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #741b47;"><em>you need</em>:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #741b47;">3 large onions, peeled - 1 to be chopped and 2 to be sliced roughly</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #741b47;">10 - 15 shallots, peeled and roughly chopped</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #741b47;">20 - 25 pcs dried chillies, soaked in hot water and de-seed.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #741b47;">3 cloved garlic</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #741b47;">small piece of ginger</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #741b47;">belacan</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #741b47;">* combine all the above (except the sliced onions) and process to a smooth paste.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #741b47;">gula Melaka (palm sugar) - quantity depends on your preference</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #741b47;">tamarind juice</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #741b47;">sugar, optional</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #741b47;">salt</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #741b47;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #741b47;"><em>method:</em></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #741b47;">Heat enough oil in a deep wok (larger base for quicker and even cooking) and fry the paste until fragrant and slightly dry, as the oil starts coming to the surface. I use a medium-low heat for this process to ensure the paste is really cooked properly. add in the <em>gula Melaka </em>and tamarind juice/paste<em>. </em>I usually put in one disc of palm sugar (I buy those discs that are sold at the roadside stalls), and as the sugar melts, I'll keep tasting until I get the level of preferred sweetness. add in the sliced onions and salt, and cook another 5 - 6 mins.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #741b47;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #741b47;">* you may add your favourite anchovies, prawns or squid to this sambal :)</span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'll also share my ingredients for <strong>Leng Chee Kang</strong>. I say 'ingredients', because you basically just boil them and assemble to make this refreshing dessert :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #741b47;"><strong><u>LENG CHEE KANG</u></strong></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #741b47;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #741b47;"><em>you need:</em></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #741b47;">*dried longans</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #741b47;">*dried red dates</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #741b47;">*barley</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #741b47;">gingko nuts</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #741b47;">lotus seeds</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #741b47;">lily bulbs </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #741b47;">white fungus, soaked and cut into manageable pieces</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #741b47;">basil seeds, soaked in cooled drinking water</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #741b47;"><em>kembang semangkuk, </em>soaked in cooled drinking </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #741b47;">preserved melon/dried persimmons</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #741b47;">note: not all ingredients may be available at one time, so u can mix, match and substitute accordingly.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #741b47;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #741b47;"><em>method:</em></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #741b47;">Place all * items in a pot with rock sugar and water and bring up to a boil. barley should be just tender, and to save time, I usually add in the rest of the ingredients at this stage, and let it simmer on medium-high heat for another 8 minutes.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #741b47;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #741b47;">add in the basil seeds and <em>kembang semangkuk</em> just before serving. another optional favourite ingredient is boiled quail eggs. can be served warm or cold.</span></div>

Yep. I've been really bad at updating my blog. Actually, since it's been 'visited' and practically stalked, I have lost the 'heart' to write but I still feel the need to leave something here occasionally :) Now that I have restricted views to this site, hopefully I will start getting into the mood again! <br />
<br />
And so, I am sharing our Iftar menu here from day 3 & 4 :D<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hubby had to work outstation on day 3, so it was just me and Aina in front of the TV! Yes, I know it is an AWFUL habit but since it's just two of us, the dining table (seats 8) seemed really huge!! I LOVE to make refreshing i.e. 'cooling' drinks for Iftar, and the Barley & Gingko Nut drink was so yummy served lukewarm :D</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

It was a beautiful Sunday morning, and we'd planned to go shopping for shoes (LOONNNGGG story there, so let's leave it at that!) but when we stopped for petrol, hubby decided to change plans and go to Pulau Ketam instead. He's been wanting to take us there for ages, and finally the time seemed right :-)</div>

We arrived at the jetty around 11.15am, and immediately boarded the ferry. Aina was of course excited! She'd been on a boat once, a lake cruise, but she was too young to remember, so this was a new experience for her. She behaved; sat through out the journey, pointing out to boats and birds when she looked out the window. The journey took approximately 40mins.</div>

It's only RM7.00 per adult, and you actually had a choice to go on the closed, air-conditioned boat or the open air one. We chose the air-conditioned one as the weather was just too hot!!</div>

We walked from the jetty (there aren't any taxis, but you can rent bikes if you want to) to the 'town centre', heading for the only seafood restaurant that was 'safe' for us to eat. This restaurant was pointed out by the local police to Mr. Hubby on one of his many fishing and crab-hunting trips.<br />

<div>
On the way to the restaurant, we stopped for these :-D</div>
<div>
Yup! Deep fried ice cream :-)</div>
<div>
It's actually (theoretically, since I've NEVER attempted it) easy to make ~</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<blockquote>
<strong>DEEP FRIED ICE CREAM</strong>1. make sure ALL equipment including tray, is ice-cold. line a baking tray with baking paper.<br />
2. use an ice cream scoop to scoop enough number of ice cream servings. place on tray and immediately put back into the freezer.<br />
3. roll out bread to flatten slightly, then cut out rounds using a simple rounded cutter; make sure you have enough pieces i.e. 2 pieces per ice cream serving.<br />
4. have a bowl of water ready (used to seal the edges) and take out the ice cream from the freezer.<br />
5. working VERY fast, place the ice cream in between 2 pieces of bread, seal the edges as tight as you can using the water as glue, then freeze the whole lot again.<br />
6. heat oil (enough to completely drop the ice cream in) and make sure the oil is VERY hot. take the 'breaded' ice cream and drop into the hot oil SLOWLY, then fry till the bread has turned a light golden brown, drain and serve immediately.</blockquote>
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Simple, right? But, I've never tried it because the weather is too hot and I'm afraid I'll end up with a pile of ice cream 'soup' :-s</div>

And so I am forced to move back to this previous dwelling since some people find it 'amusing' to stalk and follow me for no apparent reason!<br />
<br />
And since when I started this blog it was to be mainly about food, it is most appropriate I guess that I restart this site with a food entry :D<br />

Now, it has to be said that I LOVE Thai Red Rubies, and I try to make it every Ramadhan. Here's the recipe, to share. I know I've posted this before but it helps saves browsing time :)<br />
<br />
<br />
<div>
<strong><span style="color: #741b47;">THAI RED RUBIES</span></strong></div>
<span style="color: #741b47;"></span><br />
<em><span style="color: #741b47;">You need:</span></em><br />
<span style="color: #741b47;">1 pkt water chestnuts (available from the supermarket), peeled and diced</span><span class="text_exposed_show"><span style="color: #741b47;">a few drops red or pink coloring<br /> tapioca flour (enough to coat chestnuts)<br /><br /> simple sugar syrup, cooked with a bit of rose water or pandan leaves<br /><br /> thick coconut milk, heated slightly with a tiny pinch of salt</span></span><br />
<span class="text_exposed_show"><span style="color: #741b47;"><em>Method:</em><br /> 1. add food colouring to the diced chestnuts and place in a plastic bag. shake to coat the colour evenly. add in the flour and shake top coat some more. toss through a sieve to get rid of excess flour.<br /><br /> 2. bring a pot of water to a boil. place a large bowl filled with iced water near you. once the water is boiling, add in the coated chestnuts and when cooked the 'rubies' will float. scoop out immediately with a slotted spoon and put into the iced water.<br /><br /> to serve, place the rubies with sugar syrup in a bowl and pour the thick coconut cream over. you may add a few slices of jackfruit or even mangoes as garnish and added flavour, as you prefer.</span></span><br />

Reason? To get all the busy people in the family together for a fun-filled trip :-)<br /><br />In the end, one still got called off at the last minute for a meeting in KL, and so was replaced by his son, a novice at <em>candat</em>. A total of seven guys were on one boat, ready to tackle the challenge of mencandat, a challenge that only those who've gone will be able to relate to (I've NEVER been, ahahahhahaaa....) And so, here are the six guys (one had to be behind the camera :p), our 'sotong heroes' :-D :-D :-D<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifVT-L204v2epSMrYAMwS7xOBdrAEKOl0NSXwQDR1yWrn0NzkrULkDjoSr8jZ1aAE3Gcky1gAdp4AYXpbWicpITHqxqpU0a8aIZeuoxukFUyqFRrwTZL_gSmscXxtz-V2ve2345KmUGeE/s1600/candat1.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5610629901008413490" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifVT-L204v2epSMrYAMwS7xOBdrAEKOl0NSXwQDR1yWrn0NzkrULkDjoSr8jZ1aAE3Gcky1gAdp4AYXpbWicpITHqxqpU0a8aIZeuoxukFUyqFRrwTZL_gSmscXxtz-V2ve2345KmUGeE/s400/candat1.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br />These guys are 1. my hubby 2. my bro-in-law and 3. my nephews and four out of the seven made the same trip last year, and plan another one next year. Yep, it's become an annual event for them :-) Hubby's been bugging me to join, but with Aina still so young, I am hesitant as the weather can be pretty unpredictable, and I do not want to risk Aina getting sick just for a bit of fun... We'll see when Aina is slightly older.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL7FEMmc6KU98yyndr6b9Fg0fHUcEV2AchKcfzlaTFs0ztkVq-f_nlXGs0tQrAQCwR7ncYZaoCO87JX9K9cOPoS1222ODp4IqJ-00b1p1NsTIXPBN1nPpkK8mwOfd-vNmsXgqdrrJTuWY/s1600/candat2.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 266px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5610629898101261778" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL7FEMmc6KU98yyndr6b9Fg0fHUcEV2AchKcfzlaTFs0ztkVq-f_nlXGs0tQrAQCwR7ncYZaoCO87JX9K9cOPoS1222ODp4IqJ-00b1p1NsTIXPBN1nPpkK8mwOfd-vNmsXgqdrrJTuWY/s400/candat2.jpg" /></a><br /><br /></div><br /><div>It seems hubby was the 'sotong sifu' this time around, having caught almost 60% of the total catch (which supposedly was almost 30kg).

And the size of the squids were very long i.e. quite large. After dividing the total loot into the respective portions, we still had a bit to shar with our immediate neighbours. Hubby had gone on a trip once and the total catch was close to 70kg, and once he came back with a whole Coleman tub full of squid!! So, in comparison, this trip was just decent and some contribute the recent tsunami in Japan affecting the movement of the squid. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div>For next year (yes, the ball's already started rolling on THAT trip), we'll see if choosing certain dates will have an effect on the outcome :-)<br /></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Cheers!<br /><br /><br /><br /></div><br /><div></div>Alizahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18012068886236832489noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5463317809165990110.post-64837398167903829672011-05-25T05:08:00.000-07:002011-05-25T05:27:17.303-07:00Another "First" for Aina....Yup!

It was hillarious!!! This was the only pic that Babah could get from Aina's first 'dental appointment' .<br /><br />Anyway, doctor said her teeth looked fine and healthy, nothing to be concerned about at the moment...<br /><br />After the (failed) appointment, we took her to Summit since she was asking to go "jalan-jalan". We just walked around a bit (LG floor only) and then had lunch, then headed home. She fell asleep on the way home... :-)<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXyIHmMeVwW27z4hkNS0a5Z0B2HDwPti3IUy-EHjDgg7gkgMNlrPefvOPvXZ0YFuVSSGmpIMpwCZObh0pRYxUI-jysFRMOUQLVXtwUiHXYDquCxXM6zGIH3nEjJ5eZuufbap4tZgBdBco/s1600/DSC_0002.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5610627589409386946" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXyIHmMeVwW27z4hkNS0a5Z0B2HDwPti3IUy-EHjDgg7gkgMNlrPefvOPvXZ0YFuVSSGmpIMpwCZObh0pRYxUI-jysFRMOUQLVXtwUiHXYDquCxXM6zGIH3nEjJ5eZuufbap4tZgBdBco/s400/DSC_0002.JPG" /></a><br /><br />And so ends another "first" for Aina.... ehehhehehee<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Cheers!Alizahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18012068886236832489noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5463317809165990110.post-16157471816575419422011-05-09T19:01:00.000-07:002011-05-09T19:25:48.196-07:00Ushering in Aina's THIRD year....A very simple affair for family and immediate neighbours, Aina's third year was ushered in while she was not feeling very well.<br /><br /><br />She actually woke up that morning with a fever, so I fed her her meds and she was so co-operative since she knew we were having a party for her that afternoon.<br /><br /><br />I couldn't decide what type of cake to get her, and finally decided on a 1.5kg chocolate sponge with buttercream and jelly icing with her favourite character on it i.e. Strawberry Shortcake.

Walk-ins are also welcome, and at the time of our visit, the Hi-Tea rate is RM60.00++ for 2 persons. It would have been nice taking pics of the Resort at night as the lights were almost festive! But... 1) I couldn't be bothered to stand in the middle of the road to get a good pic, and 2) I didn't carry my tripod with me. That would have been a bit over the top since it was a working trip for me!! If you've stayed at the Merlin way back those years ago, then you'll know where the Cameron Highlands Resort is. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikYwqUyBp1XNzKafWKL_t6KTQVLafMA9rP_Xeupms32MYGnkQUPgAXaIvjLvCrKz0A45NeNylgnZeSXfW5KEBkLh8sn0Wt93HFB7cUSVpJDEGpWG3fbMOrtipVrAq3sVwKTkrTNkHiR1k/s1600/chr+0313.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 266px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5594521066261614754" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikYwqUyBp1XNzKafWKL_t6KTQVLafMA9rP_Xeupms32MYGnkQUPgAXaIvjLvCrKz0A45NeNylgnZeSXfW5KEBkLh8sn0Wt93HFB7cUSVpJDEGpWG3fbMOrtipVrAq3sVwKTkrTNkHiR1k/s400/chr+0313.jpg" /></a> <br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtnxj20QQaWVyKsPPDy7D3yd1-cQTtZ9B55J6fn4nKATTZ6JkuQKE4OWngwqj1_Bri-pmrxr6RM3Rzigs6AOL1mai1QAdLJgP_UcEd3NlMkC9UCJBvapfvXT6Z2DmVt6-PNznp2d2o9JY/s1600/chr+0314.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5594521062737851394" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtnxj20QQaWVyKsPPDy7D3yd1-cQTtZ9B55J6fn4nKATTZ6JkuQKE4OWngwqj1_Bri-pmrxr6RM3Rzigs6AOL1mai1QAdLJgP_UcEd3NlMkC9UCJBvapfvXT6Z2DmVt6-PNznp2d2o9JY/s400/chr+0314.jpg" /></a> <br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYTfb3HiGLRZzy6JhRMgdm2i8lq8hjB4cVzLjmKndSNufc4eOGZedCvXqTf_AIZ4Ssrqc00aiIj1W3F3fC1jRfgeGUCnphmdhTdNPVP1ENRdSJTd6fee5PiNuuOPLCJN6AjN20u9b79MY/s1600/chr+hp+0353.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5594521060358542226" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYTfb3HiGLRZzy6JhRMgdm2i8lq8hjB4cVzLjmKndSNufc4eOGZedCvXqTf_AIZ4Ssrqc00aiIj1W3F3fC1jRfgeGUCnphmdhTdNPVP1ENRdSJTd6fee5PiNuuOPLCJN6AjN20u9b79MY/s400/chr+hp+0353.jpg" /></a> </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>The cascade breakfast served at The Dining Room starts with your choice of morning pick-me-up hot beverage and juices, with a plate of fruit and bread basket with homemade preserves. The preserves are strawberry (of course!), marmalade and pineapple. The choices from the hot kitchen include eggs with beef bacon and the workd, omelette with salmon and chives, waffles, buttermilk pancakes and noodles. For walk-ins, the rate is RM70.00++ and if you really feel like splurging on a good breakfast, it really is worth it :-D</div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimJqUMtfA2F_G5B1A2aTqsim6KpinZqbfnaEBtF_Ve5QsZLXhrusVhpfMKnUeLWEfqNpdBlv4bRW22zpre0Qp1feLlJGqmwGyIb07phOel2HSMTFQgWonaajJ0W2ZwQenPELrFm1qElcs/s1600/chr+hp+0354.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

There's a cafe also, and that closes around the same time as well. The scones set is supposed to be quite nice, and costs RM12.00 per set. And of course at the BOH cafe there's BOH tea :-) A whole variety of it!

She'll drag her (IKEA) step ladder to the stove area where I usually stand, take the laddle and ask for the pot. SHe'll then ask Ana to fill the pot with water and put in a slice of onion. Then she'll happily 'cook' away until I'm done cooking, and once we're seated at the table, she'll ask about her soup.

Since we're just 10mins away, we of course said "Yes". Then a second call came in to say that the location has changed to Sana'a. Ok. It was not far from Saba, and we knew where it was. And according to her, it was near the Arab Mart where we usually go to buy our supply of Barbican :-p<br /><br />So, we met another niece with her hubby and baby at the Street Mall and headed to the Sana'a we knew. We didn't want to wait in the car since the weather was broiling, so we sat and decided to have a look at the menu. I had called my other niece earlier to inform her that we were already there. Turned out, as we were looking through the menu, she called and told me we were at the wrong place!<br /><br />I asked what was the name of the restaurant, she really couldn't say since there was no signage outside the shop! Now, where on Earth did they pick out the name Sana'a from? LOL LOL<br /><br />So, we picked up our stuff, apologised to the waitress at Sana'a and headed to the correct restaurant located within the grounds of Cyberia Homes.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwCgikvknBmFzVxmGrX8mCraBxjkxT2d3mWBB_NTI2ICDGU841kUkG7k2IvLjynxGz3Z7sqDeJKyYzv5tc4RGY8gtA8NJgwo4P_jEUBhPEaXXe2AHbYF8JbN0uR638Pj-Xol9YA-EPdIg/s1600/FB%253DDSC_0011.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 290px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5578548849861371970" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwCgikvknBmFzVxmGrX8mCraBxjkxT2d3mWBB_NTI2ICDGU841kUkG7k2IvLjynxGz3Z7sqDeJKyYzv5tc4RGY8gtA8NJgwo4P_jEUBhPEaXXe2AHbYF8JbN0uR638Pj-Xol9YA-EPdIg/s400/FB%253DDSC_0011.jpg" /></a><br /><div>For seven adults and 2 tiny kids, we ordered 4 dishes ~ 2 Mandi Lamb, 1 Mandi Chicken and 1 Chicken dish which was new and I cannot recall the name but it starts with a "Z" :-D</div><div> </div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdGPnCM6Z2nlSaBOldKvesZOzZL5nx6YPnKxoFL5-Vd9u7DylIw-uSiZ2_Vnl1TIwpCMJHywkxXMB6RRChlrcVtQts8yfqy09di-vodOctZucRFotNqy03AxPK1E5Y4kXRvILS7s4bpkE/s1600/FB-DSC_0001.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5578548847869197154" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdGPnCM6Z2nlSaBOldKvesZOzZL5nx6YPnKxoFL5-Vd9u7DylIw-uSiZ2_Vnl1TIwpCMJHywkxXMB6RRChlrcVtQts8yfqy09di-vodOctZucRFotNqy03AxPK1E5Y4kXRvILS7s4bpkE/s400/FB-DSC_0001.jpg" /></a> </div><div>For some reason, Aina was extremely cranky yesterday, so she refused to sit with everyone else. First she wanted to go home! But she finally settled sitting with me at another table... She was actually a bit sleepy, and so her mood was horrible! I had to take her to the convenience store there, and I had to buy her a feeding bottle to pacify her. OK, it was either that or the plunger, so obviously I chose the feeding bottle!!! Who in their right mind would want to be carrying a plunger all through lunch??!?!<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFgQN2aL68FERc2W1wqw1N6aVi3E_waR02OqzzXy1ij2L71g3scbB5Ckfu9HhNcDcmCUcQCz34zuWbmh_EnRY9cFGGA-sWHnyqzaGc2Su9Kl6OM7ClRk8tn2g0wqejNVSI2B13EAlyuzE/s1600/FB-DSC_0006.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5578548842882945842" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFgQN2aL68FERc2W1wqw1N6aVi3E_waR02OqzzXy1ij2L71g3scbB5Ckfu9HhNcDcmCUcQCz34zuWbmh_EnRY9cFGGA-sWHnyqzaGc2Su9Kl6OM7ClRk8tn2g0wqejNVSI2B13EAlyuzE/s400/FB-DSC_0006.jpg" /></a> </div><div>This is the "dug out oven" used to cook most of the dishes.

Well, he's planning to go on his annual fishing trip so whatever job is pending MUST be completed before he leaves. And so it was just us girls at home on Saturday. I tried making Apam Eno for breakfast, but it didn't turn out so good ~ it was not soft and fluffy :-( I followed the recipe to the letter but I guess I'll just have to try again some other time...<br /><br /><br /><div><div><div><div></div><div> </div><div>Then lunch was a simple affair of noodle soup. I used the air-dried-not-fried noodles sold in supermarkets, and the soup was made of home made fish stock, a little bit of chicken stock cube (had to add a hint of familiarity for Aina's sake), enoki mushrooms, chinese cabbage and an egg. The way I cooked it was pretty much similar to making instant noodles, and the reason is, Aina is a total stickler for instant noodles! So, we change the ingredients to make it healthier and present it to look like instant noodles :-D</div><div></div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div>After her afternoon nap, to make sure she did not go back to sleep, I asked if she wanted to play in her pool.
