Adios!

Another Cuttoo do..

Aslmkm..
Thursday,18th October.
What I am about to share is none other than Food and Get together.. It's true alright I haven't relaxed from my kitchen lately, cooking for the Raya and now came another round of our Cuttoo Gettogether. It's our monthly affair Cuttoo do. The last Cuttoo session ended in July and we started the next round immediately the following month. I and Rita are still partners *partners in crime, hehehe* and ended up getting no 3 cabutan bertuah. So, nasib laa, we have a long way to go paying for the rest of the months ahead. Kudos, to our  Queen Cuttoo Fairuz who is very efficient in money collections  and invitations. While Rita and me only get the food done. I do not have to rush home or worry about Hb, and volunteered to do at my house again.. Speaking about Hb, he preferred to be in his room with food sent up and enjoying his computer and TV program while we ladies enjoyed ourselves eating/chatting downstairs. Well, Hb is always a sport if you should know, he wouldn't mind to join in but I know the ladies would find it awkward with one gentleman around, or they would have to behave well...boleh ke?

The Menu was always and forever be the Selera Kampung style. Oh Gosh! kena sekali dengan kawan2 ku yang suka makan apatah lagi with all the selection of ulam ulaman. I hate making Sambal belacan so Rita had to provide  that *beli saja* And one more favorite mouth watering  kerabu Jantung Pisang was Roslina's specialty, too bad not in the picture, she came rather late.

The Ulam ulaman with sambal tempoyak

With Gulai Tempoyak, Masak lemak Nenas Ikan masin,

Terung masak Cili, and Kerabu Mangga.

My Western Menu: Roast Beef and Chicken Pie.

To me, the heavenly savory food is always the kampong one..you know, two plates the least I will have compared to the western food.

Dessert Corner..

Left: Chocolate Oreo cake, Sticky Date Cake, Red V. Cake

and Croissant Bread Pudding.

*Hmm..wondering kalau buka booth selling those food, laku ke*

Sticky Date Cake with Caramel Sauce.

 Rita *partner* in baju kurung came early to help up..

Stefh and Jenny

The Turban Girls..

It was very funny, the theme for the day was *Turbans* And as for the hostess, I decided not to wear, turban tu sungguh memanaskan keadaan, running around with the food... so tak sporting langsung.
 Apa2 pun.. tied it up later after everything was served and Wallah! don't you think we look like Gurkas?

The Gurkas, hehehe..

Auww! mengancam Kak Shidah.

 

What's the joke about, frens?

Alhamdullillah everything went well according to plan...and we had a great time.

Well, thats' all folks for now. Till next time with more updates on beautiful flowers or craft/paintings instead of food ya..whooh!

Adios!

As what we like..

Assalamualaikum..
I rarely cook rice, not favorite at this present time..termasuk lah si Anik * dia pun nak makan style omputih juga, balik Indon besok baru tau* Not all that she like what I cook, anything with beef and Salmon, dia mual..
I pun senang.. masak Nasi and berlauk ni leceh sikit. Alot of condiments to prepare and not only that..i got carried away from one or two helpings in one go. If ever we both  crave for rice and the kampung food, there's always Hasrul November or some place else.. hassle free.
Alas.. no more heavy cooking... but Quick Fix Meal as wanted by the family..
Still, I make a point to cook rice once or twice a week.

 I snapped this photo on someone's plate *my daughter* last week.  A little bit of rice, a slice of bread with some dishes..boleh makan laa tu.. suka nasi tapi takut gemuk..al kisahnya.

They did not mind if the food is as simple as this.. 

I tak suker..Pasta Bolognaise..

And this...

I love bread..

Hokkaido milk bun

Foot long Sausages, Beef salami and Salmon.

Too much of those is not advisable. Unless, skip the sausage and beef salami.
Half of the footlong sausage and a piece of Salami won't do us harm I hope.

 Yang biji2 tu is Capers...nice, the taste is something like olives.
Capers is normally added with some other ingredients to make tartar sauce.

We usually buy food at Wholesaler selling Halal Meat, Salmon, sausages, cheeses and a lot more of imported food. With very reasonable prices that sometime, I only had to choose and compare to some other wholesalers that we know. The Salmon is worth buying when you buy the whole fish than to buy slices. I could not helped myself but to carry quite a handful home. Since I had stopped going to the market *for a while* as we all know fish/seafood are also expensive nowadays, and since Rice is no favorite..will see how  it goes this time. And not a problem changing back to rice anytime whenever we want.
I will try to minimize the size of the Salmon as small as possible when I cook, hehe *cheap skate* Well hello, what do you expect, I always have something else to go with the Salmon ya!


When Mum craving for sweets that cannot be controlled..
Ladies, you know when..

Apple Pie without sauce

I made the Apple Pie at late evening on last Wednesday and had it after
 having something light for dinner *toast bread*

Not too sweet and not too rich..just nice to my liking..

 Saturday..
I officially make Saturday as my off day in the kitchen. Trick la tu...nak breakfast at Village Park in Damansara Utama. Hari2 duk teringat Nasi lemak kukus with ayam. My eldest son drove us there, me and Hb. It rained heavily when we arrived and had to change to 3 different tables as the wind were too strong bringing the rain to where we were seated.

The price of this Nasi Lemak was rm11.50, just because of
the extra sambal bilis, mak oii! mahalnya.
 Half way eating.. barulah teringatkan camera.

Hb had Mee Kuah..

Oops! sorry Hb. He had to stop eating, for me to snap this..

Sunday, lunch..

Soto.

Making Soto is easy peasy, using Tulang daging and specific spices for Soto soup. Condiments and the Nasi impit was prepared earlier by Anik.

Tea time..

The simplest Donut's recipe from the Net.

Dinner tonight..

We had Fried Sardin with Toast Bread

Red Velvet Cake..

RVC ordered by a friend Sabariah.

I love RVC, enjoyed baking and decorating it!

Thank you Saba for the order!

Adios, hope you peeps enjoy your weekend..

Let our conscience be our guide..

Asalam..
Look at how time flies and before you know it, it's already a New Week. They say, time flies when you're having fun. Engrossed with things around us, tak sedar rambut dah putih, badan mula sakit and the next thing you know, our time is up. But that's life, as time does not wait for anybody. Only with  amalan di dunia adalah bekalan kita. True enough only our good deeds that's going to get us to heaven.
What have we prepared?  Do we deserved to be in Heaven? What have we done? Bila di tanya nanti, adakah  jawapannya.. Bergardening, Berjalan2, dan Bermakan2.?? Oh dear, apakah kebaikan yang dilakukan selain itu? Let our conscience be our guide.

*By time,
  Indeed, man kind is in loss
  Except for those who believed
  and done righteous deeds
  and advised each other
  to truth and advised
  each other to patience*     
  Surah Al Asr.

Ya Allah, permudahkan lah dan perbanyakan lah hamba mu dengan amalan kebajikan.
Do the right thing before our light is switch  off.

Dinner has to be served...one of the good deeds in everyday life.
Tonight's dinner..

Beef Rissoles

Telling about how time flies *sigh* our youth has left us behind..no longer a young chick..already a Makcik, no doubt on that.. can also be call Grandma...*one day..pasti*
No more with fancy clothes or  those fashionable earrings and accessories...those were the days. The younger days... all was fun and worries aside...

That someone used to be so little, so doting has become a young lady and already making own choices in life. And putting on high fashion clothes, high heels shoes wearing accessories like the incredible ring on the index finger...* I suker, but never want to try* Smells of sweet scented perfume on her that you could smell even a hundred meters away. And sharing my clothes/handbags and shoes and sometimes my compact powder or what not can be found in her bag...OMG. I always thought my things was Old School to her..hehe, not anymore I guess.  Hmm.. one lucky girl, being the only daughter and we happen to be wearing the same size. Always joke to her brothers that everything Mum's is hers. Her whisper to Papa can take her anywhere. But one thing for sure she knows her limit...Thank God!
And I do hope that she won't mess her life with so much fun and putting worries aside. She will be better than me in so many aspect. May Allah lead her in the right path.. 

Pavillion

Sunday..
Hb was with second son back to Perak for family discussion *a day trip* Alhamdullillah, he's stronger and managing himself without me. Aside from me, my second son is the most reliable person when comes to taking care of Papa.
I took the opportunity to go out with my eldest son and daughter to Pavillion. We always love going to Food Republic. Crazy for hawker food ever since younger days lagi. .esp the Curry Mee.
But NO, NO, not this time, hehe, it's nothing better or healthier than C.Mee pun. Guess what? Fried Kotiaw...delicious, really spoon licking good!

Slurp!
