I love photography and eat good food. I have the biggest crush on my son and my husband and our new princess. My life revolve around them. I'm a part time domestic goddess and part time government slave. I used to extort people money through photography. That is the main reason why this blog exist. Sadly, time is my number one foe. He never let me multitask too much. But hey hey, cooking isn't that much time consuming. And i believed, a moms cook will make their kid love grow stronger in every munch. And yes ladies and gentlemen,I cook and I brag about it. So here goes. Here to a good picture and a good, easy, healthy home cooked dish! May you guys be inspired and COOK for the loved one! Insha Allah

Resipi : Macaroni and Cheese


Salam :)

Hehe, resipi!! This time Im going to share the easiest recipe of Mac & Cheese. This one is Ghazi comfort food. He love mac n cheese to bit. Used to make him everyday for school! Dont ask him what he want for bekal. You'll know what he will answer haha. And I shud always have a stock of milk, cheddar, butter and macs in the fridge.

So, I got this recipe from Simply Recipes. Very handy websites. So u will always have to alter the recipe according to what available in the Malaysian market or in your kitchen. And here's my version of the simple Mac & Cheese.

Ingredients:
Macaroni - Rebus as usual, kalau instruction said 8minutes, make it 6 minutes.
Fresh Milk - separuh botol /1 cawan
Tepung Gandum - 2 sudu besar
Cheddar cheese - grated 2 cawan penuh
1 sudu besar tepung jagung
1/2 sudu kecil perahan lemon
optional : potong sosej/ham kecik² or secubit black pepper

Cara-caranya
Dalam mangkuk berasingan, gaulkan tepung jagung dgn grated cheddar cheese. Pastikan cheese dah disaluti and asingkan dulu.

Siapkan dulu sos dia, cairkan butter dlm saucepan, api medium heat. Masukkan susu+tepung gandum yg dah dicampur diluar tadi then masukkan susu jugak. Kacau, jgn kasi berketul, bila sos dah lancar dan kelihatan bersedia (kalau perlu tanya dia :P) hahaha then masukkan perahan lemon tadi. 

Last baru masukkan macaroni and kalau nak masuk ham pn boleh. Kacau smpi dah rasa ok n boleh angkat ye.

Then served cepat²! makan n sendawa ckp Alhamdulillah ok :) hehe

Selamat Mencuba!

nyummmmeh!

Recipe : Beef Burger

Salam Maulidur Rasul ♥

Alhamdulillah
Sselawat dan Salam buat junjungan mulia Nabi Muhammad SallAllahu ‘alaihi wasallam yang dengan nikmat utusan ALLAH melalui Baginda, dapat kita nikmati nikmat Iman dan Islam pada hari ini.


Hari maulud and we r on holiday :) Alhamdulillah. Seronok dapat duduk kat rumah dengan husband and anak. Syukur kan :) Anyway, yes. Im making beef burger for brekkie today. A simple recipe indeed. I was actually doing some alteration from Jamie's recipe on his homepage.

Senang je rupanya. Rasanye superb and we can actually alter it according to our own citarasa. Saat  teringinnya nak makan home made burger ni bila tengok cafe kat office pun ade buat this kind of burger. Phew~ dia punya patties punya la tebal dan gelap! Masa lalu tepi meja (I'm already having Tomyam Campur with Nasi Goreng Kg at that time) sikit lagi nak order. But then, kang org kata bela pulak.. hahaha ok tak. sebenarnya dah full sangat tu yg tak order tapi tanam azam! Azam nak masak sendiri jugak! *haaaaaa~ insert spotlight pose pndang atas*  I can do it!!! ekekeke

So here is the ingredients: 
(sukatan ni boleh buat dalam 5-6 keping burger tapi ikut juga tebal n besar yg tuan/puan nak buat ok)
• 8 keping Jacob's cream cracker or any other brand pun boleh.
• 1 sudu besar dried parsley/ fresh parsley pun  boleh/daun sup
• 1/2 sudu kecil ground mustard
• 1/2 kilo daging cincang
• 1 biji telur size besar
• Garam & 1 sudu besar lada hitam tumbuk
• Olive oil
 
Caranya:
Biskut cream cracker tadi ramas² kasi jadi serbuk
Masukkan semua bahan kat atas, gaul sampai rasi. Bubuh la garam n lada hitam secukup rasa
Buat bentuk bulat ikut saiz bun anda la.
Then lepas bentuk, drizzle some olive oil, perap dlm fridge semalaman or 2-3 jam pn ok sebelum menggoreng

Tips: goreng daging boleh guna minyak but paling baik guna la pan yang tak melekat minyak nye. Memang tak mual burger. sehat pun sehat. sedap pun sedap sebab kita yg kontrol semua perisa yang nak masuk tu ok. Mcm biasa, jgn kedekut, kalau nk lebihkan sukatan² rempah kat atas pun bole. Lagi lebih lada hitam lagi bes. tpi hati² naty budak tak boleh makan lak :)

Selamat mencuba!

p/s : bila kita cakap burger, actually we are referring to the round shaped meat itself. Some call it patties :)

Campuran Bahan²

Daging burger yang dah dibentuk & drizzle with olive oil sebelum diperap

Tadaaa...sedap
Sidekick dia kentang goreng w paprika n lettuce w tomato using lemon n olive oil dressing :)

Food Review : Red Card Cafe, Bangi

Salam Maulidur-Rasul ♥

Wow, long time no update. Been to busy at office. No time for home mean no time for blog also :) No time for blog mean more time eat out hehe. Yes, actually..who don't love eating out. No hassle, keep your kitchen sparkly clean, and you have somebody (for the home chef) to cook for you! kan kan kan :)

So, it's always crucial for me and husband to have our own set of restaurant that we will go if we have to eat out. One of it is Red Card Cafe in Bangi.  Yes darling, they provide good pasta's according to my Malay palate. That is so important. If you are a die hard hardcore true original Italian Cuisine, this cafe might not run well with your taste bud. For me personally, it have been alter (which was good) for our Malaysian taste. So there u go, my disclaimer for the day :)

We have been a loyal customer for about 2 years now. Or is it 3? The cafe was actually a tasty-accidentally found by us. We used to try out Cat Farish Cafe just behind the block. And we did found this little red cafe that have the beautiful and homely interior (back there in 2009) and just went in. And yup, we have been coming there since that. 

They have a good range of AFFORDABLE pasta's, mouth watering appetizers and Red Card also have a range of Asian Cuisine. Have i mentioned the cheap to average prices? yes, you can have a plate of pasta's as low as RM8 :) oyeah. no kidding baybeh.Cheapo!

So what we have had recently here?
I have my sundried tomato & beef pasta's ..nyummm just think about it make me drool! It have the tangy and sweet with a twist of kaffir leaves taste. AND, it cost me only RM 10.90. Tastttty! do try .Husband had his Seafood Oglio at RM 9.90. Cheap kan? ok, that just make me wanna cook some oglio tonite haha. And my little happy man had his kids meal  of Nugget, Sunny side up egg, fries, hotdog at only RM 7.90.

And yes, I have had their bruschetta, (a delish!!) , fried rice, steak, soup. Sedap sesuai dengan price tag nya :)

So go try out red cafe ok :)

Food Review : Chinese Muslims Restaurant, HOMST Kajang

Salam Sunday!

Sunday dah. Phew. Cepat sgt masa berlalu kan. We r at the end of January already. So how is January treating you so far? I have no complaint Insya Allah. As long as husband and my dearest son are with me, its all good. Alhamdulillah.

Well..well..I do promise a food review kan. So since, end of January will always be my busiest month of all. With all the office workload and others, there's always a good reason why we have to eat out and  find a good restaurant to unwind all the busyness. And since yesterday is the Federal Day Celebration, and I just watched  a Dragon Dance, my rumbling tummy gave out pretty good idea. A Chinese food! haha Yes, when you have your head full with food and the biggest appetite for a stomach, dragon can also be inspiring too sometimes. Watchout dragon! haha

Before I started,  a disclaimer-we do have a different palate, so I will always do review according to my own opinion. And the range of price also will be review according to my own pocket. ok :)

I always love Chinese food. IMHO, Cheng Ho's in 2008 are the best Chinese Muslim Food we ever taste. There's no other Chinese Muslims restaurant are as good as their cooking back then. Enough of the Cheng Ho-ing. Lets start.

We have been recommended by Zaza to try out HOMST, Kajang. A chinese muslim restaurant which she described as "Murah & Portion Besar" Yes, who don't love Big Portion Cheap Food! So we heading to Prima Saujana to try out the chains.

We had  Salted Egg York Soft Shell Crab (surprise..haha), Kong Po beef, Kangkung Belacan (just why didn't I ordered Kailan? why Linda??)Fu Zhou Taufu Soup and for beverages I had my syrup and Abah had his Chinese Tea. I always love seafood and Abah do have to eat meat for some reason haha.

So how was it? The Soft Shell Crab is nice. And yes, the portion are big. We do have enough of the crab already but still there's a leftover waving at us on the plate. The Crab were dipped into the salted egg and deep fried and later were seasoned with some curry leaves and cili padi. A small RM20 for two is much already. Taste-wise? the taste is worth the price. If it isnt for crab,  I will opt for buttered prawn instead, but since I do been missing crab since CNY holidays,  I just give it a try. Not a frustrating attempt at all. Do try!

Kong Po Beef, don't come as plentiful as the crab were. We opted for the smallest plate for RM 13.00. But the taste wasn't as spectacular as i thought it should be, but its also worth the money spent. It just I tasted better. And I tasted worst. HOMST's stand between that near to better of course. So this would be recommended also for the worth of the money spent :)

Kangkung belacan is good. The flavoring is superb. I love the crunchiness yet the taste is rich and yup for RM 7 in a small size, we did think they being to kind. We cant finish the whole plate. Its worth it ♥ i give u heart on this one homst.

Fu Zhou Taufu Soup is a savory soup. As I not a big fan of corn-starchy-soupy. But this one is an exception. When you can do an exception to a food that you don't like, so it is worth a try. A hit with my son Ghazi :) It is a cool combination of egg tofu, veges, eggs, chicken. For RM7, you should just pay it because its cheaaap and so worth it!

So all and all, HOMST is a nice place to eat your chinese muslim dish with a very clean place, a  good and fast service (we waited for only 12 minutes) and worth your money. I came in somewhere between 4 to 430. They already run out of some menu. And Zaza told me if you guys come at night, they will be more menu out of stock or HABIS. So come early for a wide range of menu and fast service. Thanks  HOMST! and Zaza for the recommendation :) big ♥ to Hannah *muacks*

Selamat mencuba!

Resipi : Murtabak Maggie

Salam!

It's Brekkie Recipe again. Have you guys try this out? Most of the lady probably had hehe. Tapi guys mesti tak try unless you are married and your excellent wife/wives made you this bay-beh hahaha. This is a simple and in-your-kitchen ingredients punya. Tak payah nak g kedai ke supermarket ke haha. So org bujang mesti selalu la buat ni. Tapi tidak lah digalakkan. Sebab dia Maggie kan. For me, I tak pakai la maggie actually. Pakai Cintan Mee Non Fried Noodles. Sebab takut si kecil ni teringin, we never know kan. Tapi dia taknak, sbb masa yg sama saya buat kan dia healthy soupy veggies noodle for kid.

Bahan
Mee Maggie/Cintan Mee - 2 papan- rebus dan toskan
Serbuk kari Maggie ; or
2 Bawang merah+1 putih+1/4 inci halia+1 sudu kecil serbuk kari+garam secukup rasa
Telur 2 biji
Bawang holland separuh-diced
Daun sup - mayang
Kobis-racik super nipis
Lada Besar Merah - Racik
Limau Kasturi - sebiji

Cara
Campurkan semua bahan kat atas. Mee yang telah rebus dgn serbuk Maggie dengan telur². Tapi kalau tak guna serbuk maggie.. Bahan² 2 Bawang merah+1 putih+1/4 inci halia+1 sudu kecil serbuk kari+garam secukup rasa kena la tumis dulu baru masukkan bahan² lain ok then baru masukkan telur.
Pastu panaskan frying pan yang korg beli kat carrefour yang non-stick tu eh? haha then just pour in the adunan.
Bila dah cukup rasa masaknye, terbalikkan lah.
Angkat. Siap. hidang. Makan dgn sos!
Siap, tepuk belakang sendiri sbb berjaya! hehe

Selamat mencuba!

Warning: too much maggie n msg can do your body harm okay! Org Bujang, go get a wife and cook healthy cooking for u. Yang bujang perempuan, go belajar masak! jgn makan maggie je :p

Looks delicious kan! (aku ni sume nmpk delicious kan haha)
