Sedapnyaa Ice Cream di Fat Baby SS15

Lepas makan ayam penyet Api yang sangat pedas tu, mulut ni mula la craving benda-benda manis. So terus pegi Fat Baby Ice Cream di SS15. Dekat je dengan rumah aku. 

Selang beberapa kedai dari Fat Baby Ice Cream ni adalah Cafe Grafa dan depan kedai dia pulak ada Kapten Steamboat. Masuk je kedai tak ramai orang. Yes! Bole belek2 lama sikit nak makan apa.

Sampai kat kaunter je dah nampak Salted Caramel my favourite. Server kat kaunter tu greet and teruz offer rasa dulu semua flavour sebelom decide. Baik betol. Mmg kedai ice cream akan bg kita rasa dulu, tapi inilah first time aku dioffer sebelom sempat cakap apa-apa. Kalau kat haagen-dasz, siap buat muka boring je server tu kalau mintak rasa.

Tapi aku time tu dah xnak rasa2 dah. (Sbb dah nampak salted caramel ice-cream). So aku dgn husband aku order Get Stuffed. Get Stuffed ni 5 scoop ice cream and 2 waffles.

Bila waiter tu bawa kat meja, rupanya besar betol waffle tu. Bole makan 4 orang. Aiskrim kat cni mmg sedap. Flavour dia lain dari ice-cream2 chain kat malaysia. Paling aku suka, salted caramel ice-cream. Masin tu mmg spot on dgn manis caramel tu. 2nd flavour aku suka coffee pie crust. Ice cream ni perisa coffee plus ada mcm2 pie crumble crunchy kat dalam. Sedapnya..
In the end ice cream habis, waffle ada cikit xhabis. Kalau datang 4 org, bole la order ni. Kalau setakat 2 orang, maka sure korang betol2 lapar.

Service kedai ni friendly sangat. Senyum dan sabar je server tu aku dok renung lama2 ice cream tu. Price wise, murah sikit dari baskin robbins or haagen dasz but rasa ice cream tu sedap sangat. Flavour ice creams kat cni berubah-rubah. So kalau korg ada preferred flavour, call la dulu sebelom datang nak mengelakkan kekecewaan. 

P/s : nnt nak pegi lagi. Haha

Detox Water : Lemon Ginger & Honey

I am usually very cautious when it comes to eating nowadays. You can say i am a foodie since I love food and always on a look-out for good restaurants and recipes for me to indulge in. But since my body metabolism has not been very good too me for the past 2 years (the extra kilograms are now my new best friends), i kind of watch what i eat and drink. 

Last weekend has been such a guilty pleasure for me. Friday night I was at Fatty Crab Restaurant eating Chili Crab with bread and fried rice, Saturday was Ayam Penyet and Ice Cream at Fat Baby Ice Cream and Sunday i had Chicken Rice with my in-laws plus pizza and Donuts with Belgian Chocolate with my best friends later.

Oh my God, by the end of the weekend, I was feeling so guilty and fat. I even had a dream last night where people are calling me Fat. So today I woke up early and jog for 3km jogs and workout and after that google for cleansing recipe. I stumbled upon La Juiceria cold-pressed juiced and order online a 1-day detox juice program (going to blog about it later) but juices are going to be delivered by Wednesday.

I have no choice. I have to detox fast. In the end i made myself my usual remedy. Honey Ginger and Lemon. Just mix 1 liter of warm water with 6 slices of lemon and 3 tablespoon of honey. Let it sit for 10 minutes and ready for drink. Usually the effect will start to kick in after you had 1 glass of this. (you will pee constantly). But it do make your body feel more energize. Lemon as you might know, has a very high antioxidant effect and help to cleanse your body. Ginger is very helpful to raise your metabolism and reduce bloating. Try it.

P/S : Can't wait for me La-Juiceria to be delivered. 

Makan di Fatty Crab Taman Megah

Friday night yeehaa!

Tiap-tiap minggu hari Jumaat husband akan bawa dinner kat luar. Selalunya hari weekdays mmg kami dinner di rumah je. So weekend gantung kuali makan kat luar jer.

Hari khamis husband dah ckp awal2 dia nak makan di Nirwana nasi daun pisang tu. (Husband aku mmg suka sgt makan kat ctu). Aku pulak iyerkan saja sbb aku pun xsure nak makan kat mana.

Tp alih2 husband aku ajak makan ketam di Fatty Crab. Gigih betol husband aku siap balik awal sbb nak sampai kedai tu sebelum pukul 7. Kalau x kena beratur.

Sampai je auntie terus ambil order. Order ketam sekati setengah, nasi goreng untuk 2 org makan, roti bakar 4 keping ( cicah dgn kuah ketam), chinese tea 2 cawan (bole refill sampai kembong perot).

Seperti kedai chinese lain, mmg laju makanan tu sampai walaupun ramai orang.

Makanan dah sampai

Ketam cili

Nasi goreng

Ketam tu cicah roti kuah mmg sedap. Pedas untuk aku yang xtahan pedas + masam2. But sedap. Husband aku ckp pedas ok jer. Aku paling suka nasi goreng. Kalau chinese yang goreng mmg sedap walaupun kosong jer. Aku nak order chicken wing, tp sbb awal sgt sampai, chicken wing tak ada lagi.

Total makan RM87. Mmg kenyang sangat dan berbaloi. Paling best dapat roti bakar lebih free of charge sbb auntie tu ckp roti hari ni kecik. Terharu betol aku. Aku mmg suka kedai tak mengira macam ni. Masa bayar pun auntie tu xkira sen-sen. Walaupun 20 sen diskaun, aku tetap rasa terharu. Haha next time dtg lg yee auntie.

Quinoa and Grilled Chicken

Quinoa Oh Quinoa! 

First time cuba masak quinoa memang fail. Jadi keras dan pahit. Then terus simpan quinoa tu jauh-jauh dalam almari. Masa kemas-kemas pantry rumah nampak bekas quinoa tuh, nak buang sayang pulak sebab agak mahal harga sepeket. So dengan gigihnya lepas tu meng"google" macam mana nak masak quinoa so that jadi sedap.

Rupanya nak masak quinoa ni ada sukatan dia. Setiap 1 cawan quinoa + 2 cawan air. Masak quinoa ni selama 20 menet bertutup dan jangan nak jenguk2. Lepas 20 minit, tutup api dan biar 5 menet. Lepas tu bole la gores2 dengan garpu bg lagi gebu.

Quinoa ni kalau masak 1 cawan bole dapat 3 cawan bila dah masak. Selalunya aku akan masak banyak2 lepas tu simpan dalam bekas tertutup dalam fridge. Bila nak makan, panaskan saja pakai microwave. InsyaAllah memang akan stay gebu everytime perangat.

Kalau nak tubuh badan yang sihat dan langsing silalah consume quinoa ni. Rasa dia macam kacang2 tp lembut. Kaya dengan protein dan sangat mengenyangkan.

Kids or Without Kids

Me and my husband are approaching our 5^th year anniversary. Boy, time really flies. It doesn’t really feel like it’s already 5 years we’ve been married. Plus the dating period, we’ve been together for 7 years.

As any married couple, the next day after your “akad”, people will start wishing you all the  “cepat-cepat dapat baby” thingy. Days become months, months become years, still, and there is no whatever signs of any baby popping out soon. Then the “ADVICE” and “EXPERIENCE” start to flow in.

I am really ok when the questions are like “any kids?” or “are you planning”. Trust me, it doesn’t really bother me at all. But the annoying part was the ADVICE and EXPERIENCE after you answer “No kids yet”. We have acquaintance (who we barely talk to) starts giving advice on “how-to-do-it” and saying married life isn’t a married life if you don’t have children on your own. The meaner one would say that the husband will leave you if you could not bear any children. This feels like high schools again.

Why people like to assume the horrible things about not yet having kids? There are plenty of things that you could enjoy before having children. You could go brunching on weekends peacefully without one have to hold a baby, travelling would be easier since no stroller and no uncomfortable baby’s crying in the plane, your partner focus will be on you only and dinner date is easier since you don’t have to arrange for a nanny.

To be honest, my husband and I are happy on our own. We might not be perfectly happy (of course there are arguments here and there) but none of them are about not having any children. If I could remember, the first time we had the talk about children is after 2 years of marriage. Of course we would love to have kids on our own, but we are no way nearer of breaking our back and bones to have kids!

I marry my husband because I love him. He treats me like a queen, do whatever he can to make me happy, and always the one to surrender and say sorry first every time we had a fight (Queen ego never back down! Haha), and respect my families. If we desperately want children right now, believe me, we will do whatever it takes. But right now, we still enjoying just-the-two-of-us time.

Kids or no kids, we our own define our relationship. I’ve seen husband leaving his wife after 3 kids and 5 years marriage, I’ve seen couple growing old together without any kids. It is unfair to say that kids alone improve our marriage. Couples should be about loving and appreciate each other with or without kids.  Wish us the best in the world would be enough.

Resipi Spicy Aglio Olio Favourite

Jarang-jarang aku makan pasta kat luar, Kalau makan pun sebab malas nak masak sesangat or teringin makan sesangat. Sebabnya, mostly resepi pasta ni mudah sangat, bahan pun tak banyak macam nak buat rendang, cepat, dan bila kita masak sendiri kita tahu kita letak bahan apa.

Kali ni resipi yang nak dishare ni aku dah banyak kali buat try and error dan dah google and try banyak resipi Aglio Olio. Aglio Olio ni bermaksud Oil and Garlic. Kalau betol2 resipi org Italy diorang hanya letak Olive Oil, bawang putih and pasta. Aku suka masak pasta ni sebab senang dan pasta ni one of my husband favourite.

Resipi ni kalau tak nak pedas, tak payah masukkan cili padi. 

Air rebusan spagetti jangan dibuang. Air rebusan spagetti ni masa menggoreng masukkan dalam 2-3 senduk, nnt kuah2 spagetti tu akan berpalit di spagetti. Lagi sedap.

Dry Italian Herb (pakai jenama McCormick)

Daun Pasli

Lada hitam

Garam

Parmesan cheese

2. Panaskan Olive Oil dalam kuali. Masukkan bawang putih, cili padi, capsicum dan tomato. Gorengkan sekejap sehingga tomato kecut sedikit.

3. Masukkan spagetti dan 3 senduk air rebusan spagetti tadi. Kacau dan perasakan dengan lada hitam dan garam. (Hati-hati letak garam sebab air spagetti dah masin.)

Breakfast di Village Park Restaurant

Last 2 weeks aku and husband kena denggi. So 2 minggu jugakla kitorang dua tak lalu makan. Tak tahu la pulak bila kena denggi selera makan hilang, kalau makan pun muntah balik. So lepas baik denggi, selera makan pun pulih, mula lah nak makan macam-macam. 

Bangun pagi Ahad harituh, Husband aku cakap nak breakfast nasi lemak. Area sunway ni kalau pagi2 ahad nak cari breakfast kedai Melayu agakla susah. So pikir punya pikir, teringat Village Park nasi lemak, Bulan lepas ada la try pegi, tp disebabkan lepas jogging dalam pukul 9.30 sampai2 je Ya Allah! Orang macam ulat. Seat pun xde, so tak jadi makan.

So pagi Ahad nie. dalam pukol 8.00 kitorg pun drive. Village Park Restaurant ni locationnya di kami panggil Damansara Uptown. Sampai2 je Alhamdulillah orang tak ramai sangat. Seat pun ada. Duduk2 je waiter ambik order. Husband aku order nasi lemak biasa, aku order nasi lemak ayam goreng. Aku mintak bahagian dada, sbb aku kurang gemar bahagian peha, tp waiter tu ckp ayam bahagian peha je jual. (Eh!) xperla, aku terima seadanya.

                                                                 Nasi lemak

Nasi lemak sampai je nampak mcm sedap. Ayam tu aku kongsi ok dengan husband aku sbb besar. Rasa dia ok la..sedap. Ayam pun rangup. But aku lebih suka nasi lemak Mali sebab sambal dia manis. Aku suka kalau nasi lemak sambal manis. Husband aku makan habis sepinggan, so aku buat conclusion sedap sbb husband aku tu cerewet bab makan.

Kalau korang nak datang sini weekend, sila datang awal2, preferably sebelum pukol 9.

Restaurant ni aku tgk bukan je Melayu customers dia, Cina, India pun ramai. 

PS : Gambar xsempat snap banyak2 sbb lapar sangat. 

Resipi Tat Nenas Sedap dan Menjadi

Selamat Berpuasa!

Raya dah nak dekat. Disebabkan aku terlebih rajin tahun ni, aku nk buat kuih raya. Sebenarnya kuih raya ni aku tak de la suka sangat. Tapi ada satu dua kuih raya yang aku suka. Salah satunya tat nenas. Dah lama plan nak buat tat nenas, tp xterbuat sbb banyak alasan. 

Resipi tat nenas ni aku ambik dari internet. Dalam banyak2 resipi aku google, yang ni mostly org ckp menjadi. Aku ambik dari Azie Kitchen since most of the recipes from blog tu menjadi bila aku try. So sape2 nak buat tat nenas boleh refer Blog Azie Kitchen.

Untuk first timer buat tart nenas, kira menjadila hasil aku nie, cuma aku kena improve bab nak canai doh tuh..Jem Nenas pun aku buat sendiri pakai resipi dalam Azie Kitchen, so tak manis sangat macam kat kedai. Dapat dalam 50 biji tat nenas untuk satu batch adunan,
