Beach Blanket

I've been in Penang for more than 2 months now. For some reason, I never had a chance to meet Julie or should I say Dr. Julie Wong. (sorry Jules, I just have to mention the Dr. *giggles*), Finally the day comes.. What day?? The day where this girl has some free time!

Ever since I know her (since the age of 14), her ambition is to be a doctor. I always knew she will make it one day! I remembered those days when we were in the same class, 2Jade. 3 of us - Julie, Erwan and I. Jules the brainy, Erwan the romantic novel'holic' and me the noisiest.

Jules suggested Babylon Beach Blanket as the place to meet. I've heard about the place but never stepped in. It is just beside SS (Slippery Senoritas). I fell in love with the place immediately! It has beds!!!!!! It's just like The Balcony @ Orchard Rd., Singapore. We ordered a jug of beer and Jules started telling Sella and myself about funny stories that she had encountered. Ohhh.. how I wish Erwan was there too.. She's currently at KL, in the process of becoming a school teacher.

After some time, as usual, Sella will feel restless if she's not dancing when drinking. Moreover, her gang is in SS. Gulped our beer and I dragged myself reluctantly to SS. It was so jam-packed and we were literally rubbing shoulders with everybody while walking towards the dance floor. After dancing for 2 to 3 songs we decided to call it a day but we promise to meet again on Monday for a potluck party!!!!

Oh.. I'm so tired...*yawning & stretching*. Tomorrow, I'll blog about the house party that we had yesterday. Signing off..meow..

Happy Birthday, Uncle Siva!

Last Sunday was Father's birthday. I made Cheese Cupcakes for him. It didn't turn out like the one I saw on the net but the taste is... D I V I N E.. What do you expect? It's Cheese! Lol. After having the cupcakes as appetizer, we adjourned to the RIBS Restaurant. Their pork ribs is absolutely finger licking good! Father, Mother, Aunty Leong and myself ordered the Mini Mix Grill. Amma took Salmon and Ribs while Appu Boy had Seabass and Salmon. Since Mother is a small eater, she gave the ribs and lamb to Father and the prawn to Appu. End up, she only ate a small piece of salmon... Kwang kwang kwang.... No wonder she's so small in size! I wish I can be like her but I can't resist the temptation! *big fat sigh* I finished my meal!! *burp* I'm not gonna cook any meat this week!

Laksa Lemak

Made Thai Prawn Laksa for lunch today. It took me 2 hours.. From peeling the prawns and shallots to boiling the broth and finally, cleaning the pots and pans. The verdict - Yummilicious!!!

Burger Queen

Have I ever mention that one of my favourite food is the Ramly Burger. You know.. the burger that they sell in a small stall by the roadside... Since it's not healthy, Appu always discourages me from buying it. I asked him can I do it myself? Surprisingly, he allowed me to get the chicken patty. Apa lagi, I seized the opportunity to get a bag of 650gm chicken patty.

Immediately after reaching home, I thawed the patty and started cooking my own version of Ramly Burger.. I try to make not as unhealthy as possible.. I used brown bread instead of the normal bun. I stuffed lotsa vegetables and I used Snow spread instead of oil to fry the burger.

It tasted similiar like the one we get by the roadside but it only costed about RM1.00 each. Out there, the price can go up as high as Rm3.50. Gosh! Ridiculous isn't it? I think I should start thinking about setting up a burger stall. *giggles*

Let's celebrate!

Appu Boy got promoted!!!! Congratulations, dear!! You deserve it! So, as a present I made Pandan Muffin (with the left over pandan leaves that I had from making nasi lemak yesterday)

The original plan was to make macaroons but I screwed it up.. It turn out to be a disaster.. but it didn't stop me from baking another different thing. I would not post the picture of the macaroons that I've made coz it will be a disgrace. It was in really bad shape.. *big fat sigh*.


The pandan muffins were not perfect either. I put to much of the batter in the muffin cup and the verdict : it oozed out of the cup... *shrugging*. Anyway, I can't taste the muffins today as it contain eggs. It's Thursday. Vegetarian day... Let you'll know tomorrow.

Well, I'm quite depressed on what happen to my macaroons... Arghhhh!!! Feeling hungry now.. No! I'm not gonna touch the muffins (though I'm so tempted). I think I'll eat my left over mee hoon I made for lunch. Til then, meow....

For the first time...

I made rasam for the first time today. I think it's not too bad. *wink*wink. Then I try to replicate Mother's Sura Puttu (Fish Puttu). The colour turned a bit reddish from the normal yellow. Kwang kwang kwang... Anyway, it tasted nice but Mother's still the best.. Duhh... Hehe... Lunch wouldn't be complete without a vegetable dish. I made Indian style pumpkin. I just created the name of the dish. Lol. My aunt used to make it when I used lived with her in my teen age. It's one of my favourite vegetarian dish. Actually, I don't have the recipe. I made it up from my experience of watching her cooking. Does is sound right? - 'experience of watching'. The taste wasn't so bad but still doesn't taste like what I used to eat. I think I will call her later to get the recipe.

Diwali mood!!

Since Diwali around the corner, I helped Amma to make Muruku on Sunday. It's a 'must have' for us every year. But, before leaving to my mother's place I made poached egg for breakfast.. Although I don't eat it but I enjoy making it.I didn't know it was so easy to make one. Just put the egg in a pot of boiling water.It goes very well with toasted bread. We ate it with bruschetta.
