Baking Kuih Raya

Posted by IcedNyior on September 29, 2008  |  4 Comments

I totally semangat to make kuih raya the other day. Aree came over to help as well. We went to Tesco to do some grocery shopping (for her) and ingredient shopping (for me). Came back and realized that I didn’t have butter at home – my mom usually buys lots because she bakes often but apparently, its finished – so we headed out to the nearest 7E to buy butter (and aree wanted to buy rokok).

So yea, I’ve always liked recipes that you can use a cookie press (dunno wut that is? click here) to make because its really convinient. So Anne posted a recipe on making Biskut Bunga Cina which is this milky sweet melt-in-your-mouth cookie. Its supposed to look like this:

But mine turned out like this :

Damn sad okay? :( Seldom my cookies and cakes tak jadi. For one thing, perhaps my oven should be put on a lower setting. Secondly, I don’t know how much condensed milk to put (she just mentioned 1 tin kecil). Thirdly, the dough hardens really fast.

Tolong Anne *nangis*

Bazaar Ramadhan Wangsamaju

Posted by IcedNyior on September 9, 2008  |  No Comments

Have you noticed something lately? Its been a week since puasa and everyone, I mean EVERYONE is talking about food. And a day-to-day diary at that. Eg: “Today I ate A for berbuka, yesterday I ate B for berbuka”

And I don’t blame them. The best part I like about puasa (besides the hari raya open house) is the bazaar ramadhan. On the first or second day of puasa (I can’t remember exactly when), I was in KL with a friend and we didn’t know where to go for dinner so we decided to go to a nearby bazaar.

This bazaar is the one in Wangsamaju. You can see the Jusco in the distance right? The stalls stretch from Jusco all the way to the other end (beyond the right of the photo). I wasn’t really impressed with the selections there. It seems like they were basically selling the same thing. Not much variety. We bought:

• kuih pelita – it was was a bit runny (watery) but tasted nice and not too sweet.
• roti john – this is my first time eating a meat-less roti john. I still prefer mine with meat
• putu piring – not nice. The one in TTDI is still the best ever
• Dadih coklat – something like chocolate pudding but firmer like jelly
• Mee goreng – my fren bought this, I don’t really fancy mee goreng
• Soya bean – with brown sugar syrup. I like :D
• Did I miss out anything?

Verdict, food just so-so. No much variety. I give it a rating of 3 of 5 stars :/

demmit!

Internet at home has been down for a few days. The internet here is sub-par and keeps disconnecting. I just spent 15 mins of my 1-hr long lunch time to write a post and when I pressed Publish, the internet was down and my post is lost.

I ish not happy – and hungry and sleepy :(

Kenduri Ayam Gols

Posted by IcedNyior on March 29, 2008  |  No Comments

I got an email a few days back from Delinn inviting everyone to beramai2 dtg utk kenduri ayam gols Friday evening. Then alangz plak called me the next day. Then Delinn pm me on YM to ask if im going.

I had to meet him tonite because I accidently left my IC & credit cards with him. We were out and I was too lazy to bring my wallet so I passed the cards to him to hold. Then we parted ways last nite. When I was having lunch this afternoon, i realized that I didn’t have all those important cards.

So I paksa-ed him to go with me we decided to go together2 to meet them and have dinner. More like it was me having dinner because he already ate earlier. OH well, it was good meeting everyone. A lot of people turned up, more than the usual 4-5 people. Hehe! Lain kali buat lagi ye?

Pictures! More in my picasa album

Oysters Galore

Posted by IcedNyior on March 4, 2008  |  No Comments

Imagine if oysters produced more than just gorgeous, valuable pearls and luscious, succulent flesh. For example if the shells of the oysters could be put to good use such as charcoal. Then we wouldn’t be throwing anything away.

BBQ Arang

I knew everyone would be late so I took my own sweet time in going to the BBQ. I finished making my cakes the night before so I didn’t have to rush to prepare anything. Reached there around 5.30pm (they initially said to meet at 3pm). And saw that everyone was fanning an empty bbq pit.

End of holidays :(

Sori I’ve been abandoning my blog. Been busy enjoying the last 2 weeks of my holidays.

Early dinner at Delicious with the girls

Erin was around since Monday last week and it’s been a week long sleepover. There was a lot of eating and jalan2. Meeting up with old friends from school. Shopping in One Utama. Driving to PJ Digital Mall. Pigging out the whole day with Dominos, sleeping then a huge huge supper at Williams. Gossiping till wee hours of the morning. Sleeping in till the afternoon. It was such fun girls!
