Invitation to Pulau Pakuan with friends..!!!!

This weekend I was attending an outing function organised by Bakti Association at Pulau Pakuan Tanjung Bunut in Brunei-Muara district.  Actually its not a real island..it is just a name for a place where 'this person' planted local fruits and made fish ponds.  At first I didn't know where this faked island is situated.  Unbelievable..this was my first trip to this area and you know what it just took 20minutes to arrive at this island from my house..Why  I didn't know this place? Shame of me..hehehehe

It just a very simple menu ....and my kids love it especially the sweet hot dried anchovies sambal... but it would be more yummy if with salted fish..but I don't have at home now...

I can save my budget and buy few more cases..maybe less than 4 cases...Hopefully enough for 1 week..

Foundant cake...emm....yummy its true,my kids like it.

Last night after sungkai I tried to bake fondant cake...waahhh this is because of you <rosma  >You make me sick for the past few days just to think this very simple recepi..hehehehe.....  Since I got all the ingredients at my kitchen so mission must be done at once...hahahaha...Chocolate is my 1st daughter, son and hubby's favourite..But I don't let them eat all the time.

Mission was completed and the result of the cake was not as 5 stars bakery shop but i'm happy the chocolate lava burst out of the cake was look ok..Alhamdullilah its true dear friend rosma my children like it..

So here the recepi that I have modified...

Sungkai without husband..miss him

My hubby was attending a 'Sungkai' function with his jobmates this evening.  So I was alone with my kids breaking the fast. Yahoo..time for me to rest... No need to prepare too much. Menu for today just one..'kueh teaw basah'...its a simple recipe.  But still I prefer him to gather sungkai with him.  I miss him alot.

# Fried onion, fish cake, taufu, crab stick.

# add water, one tablespoon tomyam or chicken cube (either one) till boil.

#when boil add vege,  and corn flour to thicken the liquid.

# pour black paper powder.

# pour the 'kuah' to the noodles

* I didnt add egg in the mixture (before adding corn flour) since my children got chickenpox.

Try this  u will love it.....

Creating Ikebana

I was really tired for the past few days..uhhh..routine housekeeping + schools' work + nursing after my kids + gardening. Alhamdullilah, my fasting mood was still constant.  This afternoon I felt my mood was ok.  Raya season is coming soon..."Why don't I create Ikebana just for a trial for Raya preparation".....No need to buy pots of flowers for Raya and save my money.  Since I have variety of shrubs and herbs in my garden, I tried to create 2 Ikebana and the outcomes....opppsss

What do you think of this Ikebana?

and this?...

This one is simple but it make me feel relax..when I look at it.
