The Cooking Project

Assalam dear friends,

harini aku nak cerita ttg percubaan aku untuk baking cake and donut
almaklum bidang ni dah lama aku tinggalkan sejak beberapa tahun yg lepas
tak silap aku aktiviti baking ni aku buat time aku mula2 kawen dulu
mula2 kawen mmg suma smgt nak buat
konon nak tunjuk skill memasak depan suami
tapi.... bila dah dapat anak semuanya ke laut
(tapi itu untuk aku lah...)

so bila Inas skrg asyik request utk baking kek, cookies, muffin la etc etc
so aku rasa eloklah aku mulakan balik
terror and sedap tu mmg la tidak
tapi demi untuk Inas aku buat
at least dapat jugak aku spend masa dgn Inas
buat aktiviti bersama
so time aku cuti aritu (sebab abiskan cuti tahun)
me and my hubby tetiba plan nak ke Bangi lepas settlekan buku2 sekolah Inas
so masa kat Bangi terus ternampak kedai ni


mula2 aku kawen dulu, mmg aku pergi kedaini
tapi that time kat Chow Kit, maybe skrg dah ada branch kat Bangi
so aku pun beli lah barang2 baking wp aku x pasti kegunaan bahan2 yg aku beli tu
takpe balik nnti boleh tanye kepada yg pakar
so start weekend lepas aku ngn Inas sibuk dgn our cooking project
Inas siap bagitau en husband yg:

"Papa, I am very buzy with ibu to do cake"

Projek pertama is our donut
ha... ha... punye lah berjam2 aku ngn Inas buat donut ni
dari ptg sampai ke malam
mmg dengar mudah, Donut jer

"we all nak buat donut papa"

tapi bila buat kena menguli lah, nak tunggu doh mengembang la, menerap la etc
berjam2 dibuatnye, sampai Inas pun kata:

"Ibu lamanye kita buat donut dari petang sampai malam"

In fact ak yg sebenarnya slow, almaklum tak pernah buat
selama ni dok NGAP jer, if time anak dara dulu
time ke dapur aleh2 dah ada DONUT kat bawah tudung saji
that time was classic
after bertungkus lumus bejaya jgk we all buat DONUT
tapi ha...ha... nak kata menjadi tu, x yah lah nak cita
kira ada rupa DONUT dah cukup membanggakan
yg penting Inas sgt appreciate dgn apa yg we all buat 
wp bagi aku DONUT tu x seperti donut tapi
Inas tetap cakap

"erm, sedap Ibu"




then we had chochlate moist cake ari sabtu lepas
suma resepi follow resepi member aku
kena choose utk kukus cos oven aku non-function plus ni lah yg paling simple
member kata kukus lagi sedap, sbb kek akan jadi lagi moist
so finally we managed to do a cake!

apa pun both of us sgt enjoy dgn aktiviti ni
Inas sgt appreciate and we plan to do it again
Rasa sgt regret sbb all this while aku tak pernah
buat aktiviti macamni dgn Inas
padahal Inas sgt happy giler and sgt appreciate
actually rasa and rupa tak penting
yg penting is the time that we spent together!

-THE END-

In Taiping with love @ Sentosa Villa

Assalam to all,

Tetiba rasa nak update cerita time outstation keTaiping end November aritu
(sebenarnya dah lama buat tapi diperam kat "draf" sbb asyik xde idea and masalah uploading photos)

Ni actually my 2nd visit to Taiping but this time official visit ya!
1st trip was somewhere in 2011 but that time belum pregnant 2nd baby lagi
so this time, being a new mommy rasa malas & bersalah nak tinggalkan baby
so aku angkut the whole family to Taiping
dgn bersandarkan tagline 'di mana tempat isteri kalau bukan di sisi suami' 
so bila en hubby offer terus rasa tak bersalah sgt tuk buat hubby jadi Mr DRIVER cum Mr MAMA
We all plan nak gerak awal pagi
but entah tak tahu camne, bila ada baby ni rasa lambat serba serbi
(padahal NIYAZ takde contribute atas kelembapan we all)
luckily meeting start at 2.30 pm
after meeting, we went to Sentosa Villa as we already told ourselves days before we go
that one day journey for a big size people like us is tiring. ha ha
browsing tru the net dgn last minute terus aku berminat nak book kat Sentosa Villa
Actually looking for "Travelodge" tapi bila google macam dah xde jer website dia
so end up we change to Sentosa Villa
sbb nampak lain dgn suasana hotel

the village cum resort style was really a new experience for our stay
so aku pun book @ booking.com after they offerred better rate with a nice villa
compared to agoda. 
agoda, their quota only left for higher rate and bigger villa
Pastu ditambah lagi dengan Agoda x accept aku punye debit card compared dgn booking.com
the offerred rate is at RM260++ (including breakfast)
memang la agak mahal berbanding bilik hotel, tapi maybe sebab the environment & its surrounding
so kira ok la
same time nak educate & nak introduce dgn Inas dgn "hotel" yang lain dari biasa
So buat apa nak membebel (buka ada org dengar pun!)

 Let's check out the Sentosa Villa, Taiping...............









our villa, bukan villa nabila
double storey town house type
ours is at the ground floor

the common villa & rooms


the natural pool

the room

the villa entrance

the washroom and bath


the surroundings
Kalau nak ke Sentosa Villa, dari bandar Taiping terus menghala ke Tasik sampai jupa MCD then lepas jupa simpang 3 terus belok ke kanan and straight jer, kat sini ada few signboard ke Sentosa Villa. Confirm x akan sesat punye. Kalau dah melepasi Travelodge, depan sikit akan ada simpang 3, so belok lah ke kanan. Sentosa Villa ni dalam area kawasan perumahan, so terus jer sampai hujung akan jupa lah Sentosa Vila ni.

We enjoy our stay @ sentosa villa. lokasi pun dekat dgn tasik, zoo taiping, MRSM Taiping, Bukit Larut, Air Terjun dan x jauh dari bandar Taiping. Macam2 aktiviti boleh buat kat sana, naik ATV lah, naik kayuh2 kat tasik lah, gi mandi air terjun lah, tgk binatang waktu malam lah (but we all x pernah pergi pun), berasmara dana kat tepi tasik lah, berpicnic lah, 

Kalau nak buat family gathering yang lain dari suasana hotel boleh lah mencuba ke sini. Boleh enjoy dgn natural pool dia yang straight dari air terjun bukit larut.

Oleh sebab we all dah pernah meronda tasik taiping dan juga ke Zoo Taping, maka we all x pergi ke situ lagi. Cuma hubby plan nak bawak we all ronda Bandar Diraja Kuala Kangsar pekena Laksa Kuala dengan pergi ke Muzium Sultan Azlan Shah. Lepas ronda2 Bandar Diraja we all pun terus straight balik ke KL.

Berjumpa Mak Jah @ Kuala Sepetang, Taiping

WELCOME TO ......................

Masa we all kat taiping aritu
we all sempat gi ke kuala sepetang nak makan mee udang mak jah
yg orang2 sibuk kasi review kata "sedap" tu
wp we all pernah makan kat restoran mee udang mak jah @ wangsa maju
tapi still mcm x best if x merasa sendiri mee udang kat kuala sepetang
the original mee undang mak jah
bukan sbb SEDAP SANGAT mee udang tu 
tapi sebab "sentimental value" if we all  merasa sendiri mee udang tu @ kuala sepetang

kuala sepetang ni about half an hour drive dari bandar taiping
otw ke sana kita akan pass by pokok2 paya bakau tepi2 jalan
ikut kata husband laluan sini ada bas tapi if malam sure gelap
penempatan rumah2 mcm x bnyk except bila nak sampai ke pekan kuala sepetang

kuala sepetang ni pekan kecik jer, mcm kg nelayan kot
or maybe kat situ tempat sarang udang
sbb sepanjang jalan nak ke pekan kuala sepetang mmg bnyk kedai mee udang
macam2 nama ada antaranya ....
Mak Teh Mee Udang Banjir*
*menurut rakan sekerja, mee udang mak teh adalah yang pertama namun telah diatasi oleh kehebatan Mee Udang Mak Jah

so aku pun x sure adalah kedai mak jah ni yang the 1st in kuala sepetang or kedai dia yg paling sedap.
tapi yg paling lawak adalah, bila we all terjumpa kedai dgn signboard "kedai mee udang anak mak jah"
pecah perut gak ketawa, sbb lepas ni akan ada kedai mee udang cucu mak jah, cicit mak jah etc etc
jarak kedai x jauh pun 
maybe order kat kedai anak mak jah tapi makann dari kedai mak jah
tak tau la, ni just lawak nakal jer (bukan fakta betul)
terpengaruh cerita MEKANIK* kot
*mekanik filem tahun 1983 arahan Othman Hafsham menampilkan pelakon azmil mustapha, julie faridah dan Susan Lancaster
sampai restoran mak jah, memang agak ramai org jugak
suma dok makan mee udang & udang goreng tepung
sampai2 inas order:

 "laksa satu"

tapi we all inform kat inas;

"Inas, kat sini mana ada laksa"*

*walaupun sebenonye sebelah kedai mak jah ni ada kiosk kecik jual laksa udang sekoq (x silap den)



muka ibu & anak yang tidak berpuas hati dgn menu yg diorder si anak ie Laksa
so dia kata:

"ok, ermmm nasi goreng yg macam ibu"

grrrr nasi goreng aku?
adoi,.... x sangka rupanye di mulut dia rasa sedap nasi goreng aku wei
At last lepas membebel2 lambat order, we all decide on this menu:-

1. nasi goreng (for inas) (memag la x sama dgn nasi goreng aku!)
2. mee udang mak jah spesial (for ibu)
3. mihun udang special (for papa)
4. udang goreng tepung (for ibu)
4. Air sejuk & panas (for us)
Total semua sekali : RM48+*
* En Hubby tidak berpuas hati dengan harga yg mahal tapi makanan tidak sedap!



Mee Udang Special (x sempat nak kira berapa ekoq udang dia)

Kesimpulannya : Bagi aku mee udang dia biasa2 je macam better lagi makan mee udang yang dekat teluk kumbar, penang (Restoran Mee Udang Ayu, Teluk Kumbar)
tapi udang goreng tepung dia mendapat pojaan si Inas
Apa pun still tak rugi if nak pergi merasa air tangan asli dari 
mee udang mak jah @ kuala sepetang
So enjoy!

Relaxing time @ Parkroyal, Penang

Salam semua
after ke taiping, we all ke utara lagi early december aritu
This time accompanying hubby yg ada meeting kat penang
kebetulan aku pun cuti tuk perabihkan cuti tahun
kiranye bulan 11 ke 12 ni muka aku mmg jarang ada on monday kat opis
before cita pasal our stay kat penang
aku nak cerita psl journey we all ke sana
we all gerak dalam pkl 5 petang
sbb tghari we all pergi bday party anak kawan aku kat gombak
so jalan xde lah jam, tapi hubby bwk slow and steady sbb xde apa nak rush

On the way, near exit slim river tetiba rasa tyre keta flat
So hubby terus pull over tuk cek tyre
betul2 dekat kamera AES tu
bila cek tyre tengok mudguard cam dah menghimpit ngn tyre
so few seconds after we all pull over
ada 3 kereta yg stop jgk and cek tyre masing2
termasuk satu bas ekspress
erm, rasa pelik pun ada
apa benda lah agaknye yg we all langgar ek
tapi malas nak pikir benda merapu2
we all teruskan journey 
tapi 3 kali jgk we all stop sbb mudguard himpit tyre lagi
we all stop kat tapah tuk makan
then we all terus heading ke kulim, jupa MIL, SIL and anak sedara cum sepupu Inas IRFAN

Lepas menginap semalam di umh MIL @ kulim
We all terus pi parkroyal, batu feringghi
Inas dia dah syok sbb dalam pala dia asyik nak mandi pool
so we all dah bawak 2 types pelampung tuk dia
kat sini pool dia besar jugak siap ada slides 
aku... memang la x terjun kolam
takutsemua air jadi surut
ha ha, so Inas jer lah yg conquer pool tu
mandi dalam keadaan hujan
en hubby pun x mandi kolam
sbb malas and body seksi sgt... ha ha
jadi Inas sorang2 jer lah
tak kisah pun sbb dia tu suka kepoh tegur budak2 kat situ
and introduce nama dia, tujuan nak berkawan

so malas nak storey morey merepek-repek
conclusinnya best jugak hotel ni, facility pun ok, pool ok, bfast pun ok, ada games room, play room etc
malam stay jer kat bilik tak pi mana2 except makan
malas nak keluar ke pasar sbb dah pernah pergi
plus mmg xde apa nak beli pun!




Niyaz doing his sunbathing


Inas with her duck duck

@ the pool and the play room, coconut tree

the slide

we really enjoyed our stay there
mana tau murah rezki we all datang lagi
but maybe that time kita gi hard rock hotel pulak ke
ha... ha... tau en hubby sure kena azan lagi aku
hik....hik...hik....
-THE END-

Majlis Akikah Niyaz & Birthday Inas

Assalam dear friends
This is the 2nd post actually after aku secara "tanpa sedar" telah terdelete the original draft
sgt la FRUST sbb i have spent hours to come up with that post
stay up until 1.30 am last nite with unfinished post
tonite plan to continue the 2nd part
suddenly "click" to "edit" jadi "click" to be in the "dustbin"
STRESSSSSS!

the main event utk akikah NIYAZ suppose to be on the 1st September 2013
but sbb ibu masa tu "emotionally unstable" cos still dalam pantang
and NIYAZ pulak asyik kememe* sbb dalam hari
note : * asyik menangis
ditambah INAS yg still sekolah
maka we all decide to postpone the event until further notice
kambing yang dah ditambat terpaksa dilepaskan
buai yang telah ditempah, terpaksa dicabut hiasannya
after back to work and ibu dah partly emotionally recover and NIYAZ seems behave well
so the event has been fixed to17th november 2013 @ our condo ~pool party~
disebabkan november jugak bday INAS and i owe her a big birthday party
to save the cost, time and energy we all decide to combine the event
tanye INAS on her bday party theme
she wants to be the PRINCESS SOFIA (as seen on tv)
grrrr, terpaksa la since then si ibu sibuk memikirkan idea
to have the akikah cum PRINCESS SOFIA BIRTHDAY PARTY
dgn si INAS yg everyday tanye pasal how she wants to dress up like PRINCESS SOFIA
her purple dress, her oval necklace and crown  like this...

~the princess sofia~
ibu & anak dah start to decorate kad jemputan esp tuk inas's friends and ibu
mr papa, as usual just watsapp invitation only
the guys normally dont really bother
pompuan jer yg selalu over gitu
(standard la bab me"lagho" aku mmg suka)
this is our cute little invitation card


selepas bimbang ibu & anak hanyut dgn princess sofia the hubby pesan:

"Hun* make sure yang ni majlis akikah ye bukannye bday party"
note : * panggilan manja ringkasan kepada HONEY

the event turn up well and we all start rewang* at 8.30 am
note : * gotong royong (bahasa jawa kot)
the event start at 12.30 pm but as usual me being the lembab person in the house yg paling slow bersiap
guest sampai sharp at 12.30 pm but puan rumah still with her tshirt, palazo and selipar jepun 
anyway aku nak ambik peluang to thanx the VIP in my life yg contribute their ideas, energy, time, money, etc etc just to help me out to make sure the event turn up in a special way
