Kek Ceklat Saya...

Hari sabtu lepas besday anak Tipah (opismate suami merangkap jiran setaman). Tipah nak order kek ceklat sempena besday anak dia yang comel bak pari-pari itew. So, saya selaku ibu mengandung a.k.a surirumah berjaya rasa sangat excited. Sebab kek besday bleh main hias2.. Kalau takat makan sendiri tu selalu letak topping sajorkk cukup.. Lantaran itu, ari jumaat tu saya mengexcited kan diri mencari idea2 menghias sambil berjalan2 ke tempat peberet Carrefour. Saya masih blum jumpa kedai jual barang2 kek yg menariks ala2 one stop kat sini.. Mesti ada, cuma tatau ja.. Takkan semua tukang buat kek beli barang kat kl lak kan..

Hari sabtu tu pun dipenuhi dengan aktiviti membuat kek dan dessert tuk bawak malam tu. Suami pun merasakan si isteri sangat teruja berfikir2 sambil menghias2 kek dengan konsentrasi. Blum anak sendiri lagi katanya.. Kalau besday anak tahun depan mungkin kek Pocoyo atau Roary the Racing Car pun sanggup buat. Inilah hasilnyer tuk kek coklat berhias pertamaku. Honestly, saya tak pro lagi main icing buat bentuk bunga 40 kelopak atau kepala Hello Kitty pakai riben.. Masih perlu prektis. Untuk tidak mengambil risiko, saya menghias menggunakan kaedah paste-paste.. hahahahaha...

Moist chocolate cake with chocolate ganache topping. Dulu saya menggunakan topping coklat lembab yang biasa. Tapi skng saya lebih suka menggunakan chocolate ganache sebab lebih presentable dan sesuai untuk dihias.. hikhik... Bunga-bunga comel dan no satu tu dibuat menggunakan marshmellow. Pagar warna warni tepi kek tu plak tampal pakai smarties.



Yerr.. sebelum berangkat, ibu mengandung turut mahu pose-pose maut dengan kek yang bakal dipotong.. Kalau terror carik la perutku.. hahahahah.. (ayat tanpa motiff)..


Petang tu saya sempat jugak la menyiapkan creamy fruit trifle (atau sebutan suami 'truffles'.. Hahhaha.. LOL.. choo chweettt). Trifle tu leh nampak sket dalam gambar di atas atau zoom in seperti di bawah...



Memandangkan trifle ini mendapat sambutan hangat ala-ala hot stuff masa majlis tu, jadi saya nak berkongsi la resipi trifle ni sebab bila2 pun boleh buattttt.. Mudah sajorkkkkkk... Masuk semalam dah 3 kali saya buat trifle ni sebab suami pun sukerrrr dan proses menghabiskan stok kek.. akakakakak...

Bahan-bahan :
Swiss roll (strawberry/oren/plain ape2 la yg suka. Sponge cake or butter cake oso kennnn)
Jem strawberry (beli home made jem or pie filling selalunya lebih sedap)
Fruit cocktail, Peach slices, anggur, strawberry
Whipped cream

Bahan kastad :
1 tin susu cair
1 tin air
1/2 tin gula halus
2 sudu makan serbuk kastad + 1/2 cawan air (bancuh)

Cara-cara membuatnyerrr :

1. Mula-mula sediakan kastadnya. Masak susu cair, air dan gula sehingga mendidih. Kemudian masukkan bancuhan kastad, teruskan mengacau seketika sehingga pekat serta tidak berketul dan tutup api. Kastad itu sepatutnya tidak terlalu cair dan tidak keras macam buat puding kastad berjagung masa kecik2 dulu tu. Teksturnya kena creamy tapi cukup kukuh untuk support buah-buahan nanti. Kalau cair sangat buah tenggelam plak.. So basically klu nampak mcm tak jadi tu ubah la sket sukatan susu cair atau kastad tu nnt. Pastu sejukkan kastad tersebut.

2. Potong kek dalam 1/2 inci dan susun dalam casserole. Tuangkan sedikit air gula dari fruit cocktail sehingga keseluruhan kek lembap.. bukan sampai banjir okk.. huhuh.. Pastu leh sapukan jem strawberi tadi di atas permukaan kek tersebut.



3. Setelah kastad sejuk, tuang kastad di atas susunan kek tadi dan susun buah-buahan cocktail yang telah ditoskan ke atas kastad itu.



3. Akhir skali, bleh la layerkan topping terakhir dengan whipped cream. Whipped cream ni ada 2 jenis kalau carik kat kedai, bergantung la mana satu rasa nak guna. Satu dalam pressurized tin, satu lagi dalam kotak 200ml cam kotak santan tu. Kalau dalam tin tu bleh guna terus. Cam makan strawberry with cream gitu. Kalau beli yg dalam kotak (ini lebih murah), cuma perlu dipukul hingga kembang je then sapukan sebagai last layer. Dalam kes saya ni whipped cream kotak dah habis, so saya guna saki baki cream dalam tin tu je.. hihihi..



4. Ratakan cantik-cantik dan susun buah-buahan peach dan strawbery (apa-apa yang digemari) di atasnya. Sejukkan dahulu sebelum dihidangkan. Selalunya trifle biasa lapisan terakhir adalah lapisan nipis jelly/agar2 berfungsi utk 'hold'kan buah-buahan di lapisan atas. Tapi saya lebih menggemari creamy trifle sebegini kerana lebih berkrim la kot.. hahahahah. Jika anda menggunakan casserole yg agak tinggi, boleh buat selang seli 2 atau 3 layer kastad dan whipped cream sebelum finishing.


5. Kalau nak makan rasa-rasa feel makan aiskrim, masukkan dulu dalam freezer lebih kurang 2 jam.. Pastu makannnnnnnnnnn.. YUM YUM... akakakaka



Selamat mencuba yerrrr!!


*entri skema*

Orange Chicken

"Cooking is at once child's play and adult joy. And cooking done with care is an act of love."
Craig Claiborne

I vividly remeber when i started enjoy cooking, i was about 8 years old. Well, not really cooking, :P; just enjoying being in the kitchen with my mom. My mom cooks like a chef especially the traditional Malaysian cuisine. She cooks, bakes and serve everything almost perfectly. My favourite part was the baking time. For an 8 years old kid, helping her mother baking a cake was a real fun but for the mother it might turn to be the most horrifying experience of the day. Instead of beating the eggs or fold in the flour, i prefer smudging the butter cream and licking any chocolate mixture that i could reach. As i could remember, by 11 or 12 i already started making my own chocolate cake with her supervision and my cake tak bantat occay... agak terror jugerrrr.. huahuahua...

My passion in cooking never dies and nowadays in my adulthood i cook more and more and continously trying new recipes for the variety. Recently, i tried this 'Asian Orange Chicken', which i got from the internet (credit to Ejah). As usual, i just used whatever ingredients available. Some people thought cooking is troublesome because there's too many things need to be prepared and bought, but for me i just throw in anything that i have at the moment. You just need to mix and match to bring out the flavour. My first attempt for the orange chicken was a success. My hubby loves it very much that he requested more orange chicken later. Huehuheuhe..

This is the Orange Chicken i made.. almost similar to Lemon Chicken but i prefer orange better.

Owhh.. and yesss.. i do garnish my dishes occasionally for our dining pleasure. Akaka :D.

Sauce:

Step A

• 1 1/2 cups water
• 2 tablespoons orange juice (i used Sunquick)
  
• 1/4 cup lemon juice (N/A)
  
• 1/3 cup rice vinegar (i used plain vinegar)
  
• 2 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon grated orange zest
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root
• 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
• 2 tablespoons chopped green onion (replaced with red onion)
  
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (N/A)
  

Step B

• 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water

Chicken

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
• 1 cup all-purpose flour (i used flour + all purpose spice-yang buat ayam berempah tu. Klu takde add in rempah kari pun ok)
  
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 3 tablespoons olive oil (replaced with butter)
  

My extra ingredients :

• 1 tablespoon sesseme oil
• Crushed cornflakes
• 1 white egss
  

How to make it:

For the sauce, just pour in all the liquids in the saucepan at medium heat. Add in the remaining sauce ingredients and bring it to boil. Cool the sauce for about 1/2 hour.

Marinate the chicken with 1 cup of the sauce and refrigerate it for 2 hours or more. In addition, i add in a sesseme oil about 1 tablespoon. This gave a nutty flavour to the chicken. Reserve the remaining sauce.

Then, placed the marinated chicken in a close container which has the mixture of flour, spice, pepper, salt and butter. Shake well the container until the chicken are evenly coated.

I added one more step before deep frying. I dipped the coated chicken in white eggs and rolled it on crushed cornflakes. So it has 2 coatings and believe me it tastes crunchier *drooollinggg*.

Deep fried the chicken. In deep fry techniques u need to make sure the oil fully covered the chicken or your chicken will not cook evenly and the coating will crack due to temperature gradient.

Before serving, bring to boil the reserved sauce and add in the cornstarch paste to thicken the sauce. If you prefer a thicker sauce add another tablespoon of cornstarch and vice versa.

Transfer chicken to the serving platter and pour on the sauce. Garnish with some orange slices and grated orange zest.



It is just a simple cooking yet taste heavenly. Happy cooking to all !!

SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDILFITRI
from Leen & Muz

Dari Manchester ke Kuala Lumpur

Finally, the day i've been waiting for has arrived..

Good bye Manchester, goodbye United Kingdom... Dari Manchester ke KL.. Yezzzzaaaaa!!



I'm unofficially not a student anymore.. a mix feeling... but i'm ultra excited about leaving tomorrow evening.. tak sabar nak jump my hubby n all my family including yoko and baby. Aku dah terbau2 char kuey teow skng nih.. akakakak...

To all the muslim, i would like to wish Salam Ramadhan... to my friends, jangan lupa datang kenduri akuuuu.. akakakak... kad bakal menyusul occay!!

MUAH2...

Byeee....!!

Bila lama tak apdet....

Haiiiiii (sambil lambai ala princess Di)....

Akakakakaka... starkah berangan diva? wakakak.. lama aku tak apdet sebabnyer memang takde sebab... Nak jawab aku bizi tengok EZORA, boleyyyy??.. akakakak.. citer cipan sumer pakat nak sumbang mahram kaedahnyer.. Aton pun dah dapat baby boy (bukan KAK TON occay!!).. Congratulations mateeeee!!! Jangan main nyorok2 ngan baby ko lagi, takut nnt dia nyorok dalam kettle lak.. jadi sup katanya .. huahauhauhua....



Oooo.. ari tu aku ada follow trip international society sini gi few nearby attractions mostly kat North Wales la... Itu nanti la aku apdet sket2 bila aku rajin tahap dewa.. akakak.. skng ni hampir setiap hari aku pulang keletihan, kena minum tongkat alikah (hoh??) akakakaka...

Hah, did i mentioan I've moved to another hall. Sebab kontrak aku kat hall lama tu dah tamat and I'm not allowed to stay in the same room and the same hall... ko pernah dengar syarat camtu?? tak same room tahan lagi.. same hall pun taleh?? apa kejadahnyer semua ini... Pada aku mat salleh sini pemalas.. tu je.. akakaka.. padahal bilik budak2 abih kontrak tu bukannyer occupied pun, bukannyer dia nak refurbish pun.. cuci2 jer... dia takmo susah payah extendkan kontrak aku sebab nnt macam2 nak kena wat dalam system la apa la aku rasa.. cuba bayangkan masa aku mintak hall baru aku cakap i want to request for a single sex flat. Dia cakap dia takleh cek flat tu male/female yg duduk.. ya ampunn.. jawapan paling bangang aku penah dengar.. Kalau org isi form tu kan ada letak male female.. dalam system mesti la ada.. Haihhh.. kalau dah pemalas nak check tu macam2 alasan.. anyway, as conclusion my new hall is a living hell.. tp kena bersyukur la kan, dr ko homeless.. :P

JUJUR KAN PAKCIK NIEEEE!!!

Skang topik panash negara pasal DSAI iyerr.. kena tuduh liwat balik kaedahnyer.. Scenario politik mesia ni dah leh wat filem dah aku rasa.. hahahaha... For a second sodomy accusation, i saw this as a lame reproduction of what happened 10 years ago.. dah tak kreatif dah.. Nanti muncul la orang2 lain lak ngaku kena liwat..The police report lodge by Saiful Bukhari stated that he was sodomized more than once. Why must he let anwar get away with it more than once? Dah la tak letak time dlm report (mana ada report takde time..) Dah tu wat kat kondo desa damansara yang nilainya jutaan ringgit.Yang aku kesian kat dia ni, sampai umur 80 tahun nnt pun orang akan ingat 'eh2.. ko yang kena liwat dulu sebelum kawin tu kan'?? Kalau cucu ko dengar tak pitammmm???

Satu lagi kemusykilan aku ialah pasal nak ambik DNA DSAI balik.. kalau ikut utusan statement yang di beri, "sampel DNA Anwar yang diambil untuk kes liwat pertama dihadapinya pada 10 tahun lalu, tidak boleh digunakan sebagai bukti atau perbandingan dalam siasatan kes terbaru ini." ... Aku macam, perlu ke another sample which eventually will give the same result.. kesnyer sama je liwat, define 'perbandingan' please.. I may not be good in medical field tp secara asasnya aku rasa kalau dah nak wat sample untuk tujuan yang sama, nak bukti DNA untuk matchkan, tak ke the sample will go through the same analysis?? Tak leh ke pakai rekod DNA yang memang dah sedia ada and matchkan la ngan sperm kat bontot saiful tu ke?.. it's not like you make another analysis and it will turn out to be a DNA of a cow. And you nak bagi org suka2 ambik DNA you pada pandangan aku it's a BIG thing. Kalau aku personally pun i want a strong justification. Takut gak kang tetiba ada klon ke kan.. konpius laki i.. Hahahaahah...

A person's sexual orientation speaks nothing about his leadership ability. Benda ni semua Allah je yang tahu sapa betul sape tak kan. Tapi selama ni mulia dan bermoral sangat ke Pak Lah, Najib, Hishamuddin etc tu.. Pada aku everybody's hands are dirty now.. Memikir pasal benda ni pun bukannyer leh turunkan harga minyak... Akakakakak... Itu yang aku risau... Kalau ikut Dr M, when the US dollar is not used as the trading currency, US will experience severe recession and this will affect the whole world and Msia will experience great inflation (CheDet). Skang pun nilai USD dah menurun dan lama kelamaan ekonomi kapitalis akan runtuh.. So kalau sekaran 1kg daging lembu = RM24. Nanti lepas2 ni mungkin RM100 la kot.. Malaysia aku letakkan as a country with low purchasing power. So bila Shabery cakap naikkan harga minyak tapi still berjaya balancekan krisis makanan.. kepala hotak diaaa..

Debar ke menanti September ini..

Kita tunggu je laaaaaa....

Kalau rajin tengok la video kat sini (credit to Youthmalaysian) from Foreign Correspondent pasal issue Anwar dulu. Hahahah... Muka Ezam pun ada... baikkkkk punyaaaaaa!!

BURRRRPPPPP!!!

Hihihihi.... Selamat mencubaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.....

Dr. M quits UMNO... MOTIFFFF???

Tun Mahathir made another aggresive highlight pressuring Pak Lah to step down since the dismal showing in the last general election in March. He will not be an UMNO member as long as Pak Lah remain as an UMNO President and all this is claimed for the sake of Malays... katanya, beliau dah tak confident dengan UMNO's ability to safeguard the rights and privileges of the Malays.. But since when that UMNO is really capable in protecting the Malays?? Emmm.. 1946-1980 maybeeeeee....

UMNO was corrupted long agooo.. Zaman Tun lagi kan... so what difference does it makes in surviving the Malays?... Kalau nak ikut dijajah sampai sekarang pun still 'dijajah'.. The only significant difference seen between Tun's era and Pak Lah's is the leadership.. Mahathirism vs Islam Hadari... Eventhough corruption, cronisme and all the politics destruction that happened during Tun's era is similarly critical, but it is taken as 'lumrah politik'. During that time, Tun's achievement in putting Malaysia in the world map is very impressive which made sightless attention to other political issues happening in the country. Tapi bila time Pak Lah, aku pun tatau achievement apa yang ada kat Malaysia.. Islam Hadari tu sendiri pun dah tak kena... ISLAM ITU SATU je.. mudah sangat... tapiiiiiii nakkkkkk jugaakkk dengar cakap KJ itewwww (skng senyapppp lak.. tak berani lawan mukhrizkah??)

Pak Lah is a very weak leader.. He's not even a leader, more as a follower.. he's also acting deaf when people requested him to step down for an obvious reason. Tapi nak buat macam mana, he believes what he believes. And if he thought he can bring back the glory of Malays and the unity of UMNO, I AM WAITING FOR THE DAY occay... :P.

Anyway, back to Tun, I am not quite clear with his decision to quit UMNO. Peralihan kuasa will be by end of this year, why can't he waits if Pak Lah is the main issue? He seems to be desperate wanting Pak Lah to step down as soon as possible. Was it really about Malays and UMNO, or is it a fighting frustration when his immediate suggestions and opinion from election result previously did not attract attention. OR is it concerning of 'saving' his butt from the judicial fixing crime???

We must not forget that apart from being a man who think one generation ahead, Tun is undeniable a first-class strategist. Benarkah kata Hang Tuah, 'Takkan Melayu Hilang Di Dunia???'

Renung-renungkanlah...

ROW ROW ROW YOUR BOAT....

Semalam aku gi tengok Dragon Boat race kat Salford Quays... Event ni dia panggil 'race between two cities', Manchester ngan Salford la.. So uni aku lawan ngan uni Salford.. Kira social event between the universities la.. Teringat cam zaman undergrad dulu... terasa tua laks... hohohoh

Selalu tu kalau dragon race kat Mesia mesti meriah je kan.. ngan gendang ngan sorak nyer.. So aku interestd la jugak nak tgk camna the local supports towards this event kan... Masa sampai tu team2 tengah wat saringan kot rasanya.. banyak giler team n banyak jugak kategori derang... Aku pun takde la baget cam race kat Mesia since yang masuk pun bukan pro kan.. hahahah...

Yang ni the first two teams yang aku sampai derang tengah get ready ke starting point..

Tak silap aku white team ni one of my uni team..

Ok, aku citer la sket pasal dragon boat race kan... Usually the crew comprises of the paddlers, one drummer (kat depan) and one steerer/helm (cam brader baju biru kat belakang ni)

Gigih sangat derang kayuh kan... Hahahaha... Steerer ni penting coz he/she must be aware with the boat's surroundings (i.e wind, wake of other boats, etc) so that they cam reach an optimum speed sambil paddlers suma tu gigih mengayuh kannnnnn... buruh kasar sangats.. hahahaha.. Pastu ada drummer - the heatrbeat of the dragon boat. Drummer nyer job is to lead the crew with ryhthmic beating to indicate the timing and frequency of the paddling strokes. Tapi yang ni takde la rhythm pun.. hihihi.. kalau slalu tgk tu siap drummer wat2 aksi skalik.. itu 5 bintang.. hahaha... Tapi paling ketara skali dalam rowing the boat ni, susah nak dapat a synchronize paddling... Kalau sync baru la laju kan... so race yang aku tgk ni, tak baper laju.. hahahaha... tp the efforts that count.... It's not as easy as it seems to be..


Ni team kaler purple ni team uni aku la... tengok kaler pun tau.. gagagagaga... Laju bagai kan mendahului.. WAHHHH skalik!! Tapi aku tatau la sukses masuk final ke tak kan.. :$

Haaa.. yang team kat bawah ni creative... tatau la korang leh perasan ke tak, sebab gambar sideways, aku tak sempat nak ambik frontview.. Selain dari derang pakai cam selendang macam kain pelekat tu, derang conteng muka ala2 Red Indian gitu... hahahah... Wak aksi ganas ka kiranya... WALAUPUNNNNN kalah ngan purple tu tadik kan.. hahahhahaha... tapi ada team spirit... caiyokkkk!!

Pastu ada la lagi team2 lain... banyak lah team n kategori .. Event ni pun abis lewat petang , tapi takde la aku tunggu sampai abis... Aper yang aku suka pasal event ni is their diversities and i'm quite proud to see a traditional Asian paddling race in another continent.. sesuatu yang dibudayakan kat sini.. Masa blah petang tu, memang ramai giler la org gi support.. meriah gak la...

Pastu aku jumper la keta red bull mini cooper ni.. Sebelum ni aku nampak few times gak keta ni parking kat lorong kat hall aku... tuan dia pi Sainbury's kot...hahahahhaha... Tapi kali ni jumpa lagi aku klik la skali gambar... huhuhu..




Ala2 dah puas tengok, aku gi jalan2 kat Lowry outlet yang sebelah sungai tu je... Tapi tak best pun... kecik je, pastu kedai2 dia pun tak best.. huhuhu.. And then sebelum balik aku masuk la Imperial War Museum North yang seberang sungai tu...







Museum ni ada tower leh nampak view Salford and Manchester.. So aku naik la... Lama dah tak naik tempat tinggi skang ni... huhuhuh...





So, tuh jela aktiviti aku wiken ni untuk menghilangkan kebosanan... hahahahah...
