Aidilfitri 2012

Alhamdulillah, raya tahun ini disambut cukup sederhana.
Dalam hati, ada juga sedikit risau, manalah tahu tak sempat bertemu Ramadhan yang depan. Moga-moga Allah izinkan nafas untuk terus bernyawa sehingga Ramadhan yang seterusnya, Amin...

Apapun, tahun ini, saya cukup beriya nak sambut raya, entah kenapa, pertama kalinya beraya bersama Sofea atau dek baju baru yang sedondon mungkin :)

Royal Blue di 1 Syawal.

Warna soft sikit pada 2 Syawal, kami pilih dark grey.

 Baju saya dua-dua design tu dari Mixmoda. Saya mention kat sini, sebab ramai plak yang tanya :)

Kuih raya khas ditempah dari Ita's Delight. Anak tauke satu office, jadi mudahlah semuanya. Paling penting, ini kuih raya paling sedap pernah saya makan!

Disebabkan terlalu teruja, baju raya Sofea sedar tak sedar sampai 10 pasang. Ya ampun, satu-satunya anak buat masa ni & buat pertama kalinya Sofea sambut raya, so mommy bagi special sikit ;-)

Sofea kumpul banyak duit raya, tak sangka boleh kumpul sebanyak itu! Thanks pada semua yang memberi, moga Allah limpahkan rezeki buat semua. Amin...



Dah mula bekerja hari ni, tapi masih dalam mood raya, owh Melayu! Hihihi. Raya sampai sebulan!

Kepada kawan-kawan yang tak sempat nak beraya bersama di kampung, jemput datang ke rumah saya ye :P

Selamat Hari Raya!

To all muslim friends,

On the Holy occasion of Eid ul-Fitr...

Here's wishing that, may the blessings of Allah light up your way & lead you to eternal happiness.

Forgive me for all my wrongdoings & words uttered which might hurt anyone feelings.

9 Months!

Yeay! 3 months to go before she becomes a toddler :)

Towards reaching this, hurm... here is how Sofea is growing!

If we're about to put her inside the buai, she can perform gymnas. It never been easy, I need to solely look after her most of the time...

Sofea can help mommy to clean up at home as well. TV cabinet, side table, under the sofa, etc. U name it! She can reach it!

 Sofea skips crawling session! Move faster.

The hardest time ever, during fitting her outfit. She hates to be stagnant for more than a minute, so chase for her. Hahaha.

Keep growing Sofea, we gonna celebrate raya tomorrow :P

Rendang Ayam

I would like to share my recipe on Rendang Ayam which I cooked recently.

Jom cuba, mudah je. Complicated part is when the rendang completed. Nak kena lap dapur. LoL.

Penyediaan dan bahan-bahan dari sumber Chef Hanieliza.

Bahan A:

• 1/2 ekor ayam (dipotong kecil)
• 2 cawan santan pekat (dari 1 biji kelapa)
• 1/2 cawan kerisik-ni kena tengok juga, kalau suka rendang jadi warna gelap, letak 1/2 cawan, kalau suka warna cerah sikit, 2 sudu pon dah cukup.
• 2 helai daun kunyit (potong halus)
• 5 batang serai (ketuk)
• 1 sudu kecil gula kabung (tambahan)
• Garam secukup rasa 

Bahan B (Dikisar):

• 3 labu bawang besar
• 5 ulas bawang putih
• 3 inci halia
• 1 inci lengkuas
• 1 inci kunyit hidup
• 15 tangkai cili kering
• 10 biji cili api-kalau suka pedas, boleh tambah

Cara Memasak:-

1. Ayam dibuang kulit, dibersihkan dan toskan.
2. Masukkan kesemua bahan (kecuali kerisik, daun kunyit, garam dan gula) ke dalam kuali besar dan kacau sebati atas api perlahan.
3. Masak hingga ayam lembut dan kuahnya sebati..Kacau sekali sekala.
4. Masukkan garam, gula dan kerisik, daun kunyit dan kacau rata. Seimbangkan rasa. Masak hingga kuah agak pekat atau terpulang masing2.
5. Tutup api, angkat dan hidangkan dengan pulut, lemang, ketupat.

Selamat Mencuba di hari raya nanti. Hehe :)

She's Being Lucky!

I was so excited to watch this. My youngest sister presented on TV! For Masihkah Ada Ramadan? Two Episodes Drama-ASTRO Prima on 13th Aug.

I didn't know that she can be so talented. Hahaha.

Ramadhan Quick Updates

I was quite busy in the office & fully occupied at home. So, I left out my blog with no updates even I miss to drop by :)

I'm gonna take long break for Hari Raya soon, 1 week je. Hehehe.

To be honest, my first half for Ramadhan, I was quite motherly person, more homey (being cozy) & only cook myself for Iftar. I'm glad I manage my time very well. Alhamdulillah.

My great archievement was when I tried my FIRST time to cook Rendang, requested by my hubby. It turned out perfectly, he even requested for more. Tunggu raya lah. Ngeee~

Its so simple to prepare this, I should share the recipe soon!

When reached second half of Ramadhan, we receives a lot of invitations for Iftar buffet. Praise to Allah. Dapatlah peluang cuba makanan hotel-hotel ni secara PERCUMA ;-)

-Royale Lake Club: The food for me just nice. 3 star. If bayar, RM50++ per adult.
-The Royale Chulan: Hubby joined, food sedap :)
-Equatorial Hotel, Bangi.
-Tropicana Golf & Country Resort: Food superb! But parking area is not friendly users. Far from the buffet hall & only stair case available. Kami bawa stroller, angkut sajela...Cost RM53++ per adult.
-Cyberview Resorts & Spa: Tuesday (today)
-Can't get the hotel name, somewhere in Subang: Wednesday (tomorrow)

So, towards the end of Ramadhan, no need to think about any recipes :)

We have completed our Raya shopping as well last weekends & now half way completing to get the things packed before balik kampung this Friday.

Nothing beats my feeling of coming home for raya!

I am more interested on wearing our Boria baju raya this year!
