Cooking competition
Besides enjoying the shows, it also adding my cooking dictionaries...despite certain thing might not available in Malaysia..

Iron Chef
I really love the show...The guest chefs challenging the show's resident "Iron Chef". Then they have to prepare as many dishes as they can from the specific theme ingredient. So they have to be creative with this ingredient...
Chopped
In each episode four chefs compete by three round - appetizer, entree, and dessert. The chefs are given a basket containing several ingredients, and each dissh must contain each of those ingredient.
I think the competition really tough..because the ingredient itself sometimes not commonly prepared eg sardine, watermelon (kalau ikan ngan durian at least leh la gulai tempoyak ikan...walaupun tempoyak tu xberapa nk tempoyak la sbb masa pendek)
Top ChefJust few weeks I watched this...Itu pun terbukak tv right after sampai rumah (around 7pm). And its already half of the season 3..and slowly catch up with season 4. From the website currently it has 8 season...
Again here chefs compete each other in culinary challenges. Each episode had two challenge - quickfire challenge and elimination challenge
Masterchef USI just watched it because encik suami said "ni pertandingan masak2..best"
Ok..Among all the above, this is something different because they are not really chef. From doctor, software engineer, server, student...so it range
Even encik suami said if there is something like this in Malaysia, he want to join (then I have to become his cheerleeder)
And I already know who will be the winner for this 1st Masterchef US!

Healthy recipe for your baby
Potato salad
White potato
Steps
1. Clean, cut and wash the ingredients
4. Add unsalted butter
It is recommended to choose the best ingredients, for carrot you might consider organic carrot. For peas choose the fresh one, but frozen is also the second best option.For potatoes consider Russet (reason: if guna this kind klu baked it will turn nicely and when mashed, do not turn to paste as quickly as other types of white potatoes). Oh ya I found that if you cannot find Russet potatoes, look for US potatoes..sbbnya nmpk dlm phamplet Giant..it same...
1. Clean and cut apple
2. Put apple and raisins in the aluminium pocket
3. Cook it about 10-15minutes. Masak atas dapur...if you have microwave boleh la guna microwave so jadilah baked apple and raisin, tp klu baked xsilapnya seelok2nya kulit epal tu xpayah buang
4. Cool it a bit. Blend it..done...

Jelajah Blog Ramadhan 1431

How is it for past 2 days? Having a good food for breaking fast? Already have a long list of craving foods or maybe long list of pasar ramadan to be visited?
In conjuntion of this Ramadhan, I decided to do something new..joining Jelajah Blog Ramadhan (that's why ada gambar lelaki di atas yg bkn gmbr Afham ataupun encik suami =p). Its good to join because from there I get to know others Malaysia-Iron-Chefs (kitchen bakal cun melecun harusla masak macam2 kan), plus by bloghopping to other bloggers will help me to decide what the menu for breaking fast (balik karang dh mcm roadrunner nk kejar erl, nak make sure smpi dpn nursery b4 6.30pm...so at least tgk2 blog lain leh la bg idea in advance nk mkn pe..so xle amik masa panjang nk beli juadah..hihihi)...Ececeh panjang plak mengarut
For all Muslim readers and bloggers wishing you Selamat Berpuasa. Semoga Ramadhan ini lebih baik dari yg terdahulu. Marilah kita penuhi dengan amalan2 mulia (bkn bulan ini sahaja,tetapi teruskan di bulan2 lain juga). Bersederhana dalam segala segi baik berbuka puasa mahupun persiapan menjelang raya (ekeke perempuan biasalah dh sibuk tempah kuih raya, beli baju siap, langsir..dsb). Fadilat Solat Terawih boleh baca kat sini.
And before I pen off, some yummylicious-famous dessert as a treat....(upah baca blog hari ni)...Please scroll down
Tepung Pelita Hehe...Apa kes pagi2 sudah telan air liur? (tgk gmbaq pun leh telan air liur tau) Sabaq...simpan tepung pelita ni dalam peti ais..kang buka bolehla makan puas2...
Since we have few hours to break fast (pagi lg nih kan), I have something for you....It is beautiful songket from here. You can wear it for Hari Raya, or maybe for guys you can give it as Hari Raya present for you special one.
Have a nice weekend also...bolehla jelajah pasar ramadan..

A month as working mother
posing mahal for all readersOk. Tak kan nak tipu...I'm happy, healthy, xrasa letih sikit pun. The fact that we are human, of course certain limit and certain things will makes us exhausted, tired, rasa mcm xlarat sudah...
A month coming back to work, giving me 1001 feelings, while bz punching figure to accrue boleh plak teringat pipi anak, while bising2 ofiice boleh teringat bau anak...Owh..now I understand motherhood setahun jagung or should I say 4bulan jagung since Afham still not yet 1 year =)
I have received sooo many questions and so on. Not to say almost everyone comment that I look slimmer [encik suami harus kata uwekkk....]. My respond? I still not having violin shape [haih sblm kawen pun blom tahap violin la..ape kes?] Although I fit most of all baju kurung, jeans, shirts...[mana diorg nmpk stretch mark, lembik2 sana sini..]
Not to mentioned one operation staff asking me " When is the second production?" Eh2 mcm buat biskut, roti kat kilang pulak...Jawapan smbil sengih2 cun vogue..."Erm bg ilang trauma contraction boleh tak..."
And one more thing since I'm coming back I have a new hobby....Online shopping. Tgk status kat bank lebih bnyk keluar dr masuk..haruslah kan? masuk satu line..keluar berline2...bayar2 bil2, hp, credit card. Every week, receptionist will called and said ada parcel, kotak...and to the extend sekali tu depa pesan bawak troley since the parcel is really big
Whats more? Oh ya..they also asked How this little baby change my life?...Masak tak? Wiken camner? Anak hantar mana? Sakit tak bersalin? ....owh2 sungguh xterlist plak...The fact that I am still adjusting my time with all task eg laudry - basuh, jemur, lipat, iron, simpan dlm almari...kemas rumah walau akhirnya sepah balik. Besides I manage to simplify my life by cooking dua hari sekali ie. masak hari selasa untuk makan malam selasa dan rabu [of course encik suami yg kata okeh..lgpun letih la asik tapau makanan kat luar yg kdg2 blm tentu terjamin rasa, so on]. While my officemate asked me "Ha you boleh ke makan mcm tu?" At least I know my cooking can control oil, no MSG, and of course encik suami bertambah syg sbb wife masak sedap-walau-lauk-simple....hehe kan bang?
One more thing I still do not wear my normal working shoes [encik suami asked mana sume kasut yg runcing2 tu yg tinggi sikit tu]. My answer, everyday I need to become roadrunner to catch 6pm ERL...so wats the point become vogue the vazz, then lambat nk fetch Afham?..So be realistic...maybe one fine day after find the right tune, all working shoes will be operated as usual. Owh not to mentioned the day that I should cook, I will makes myself catch 6pm ERL, so that by 7pm already at home and by 8pm I have settled down..solat magrib and cooking..[Poket juga rabak with ERL fare, but this is the only option that can makes me travelling in style =p]
Phew....the fact that I still tired, sometimes like no time for myself, and also for encik suami. I have soo many thing to do [reading tonnes of books, blogging about Afham, planning for kitchen cabinet..so on] but sometimes 24hours is not enuff..Ada sapa2 nk sedekah masa yg terlebih sudah?
But the fact that although how this little baby changed my life [haha rasa mcm hectic-carca marba-tonggang terbalik life so on]..The fact that almost all -ve feelings hilang macam magic spell when seeing his smile and actions...
my hand is the best =p03 January, 2010

Bila roti jala menjadi lempeng, dan pulut kuning menjadi nasi lemak

Tajuk pun dh nama makanan
Maka haruslah tulis psl makanan
This all because of piece of meat in our refrigerator...Having an idea to cook beef curry..~ hehe lupa plak this happened 2 weeks ago
The perfect match will be roti jala ~ mak buyung tiba2 rasa nk try lps dh berminggu2 tgk Ho Chak Dapur Senang buat roti jala
So early morning wake up prepare all the things, but still not buying the acuan roti jala ~ yg kaler kuning tuh
Encik suami said never mind 930 am shops nearby sure open.....Hamik pi awal2...kedai yg jual tuh xbukak lagi...xkan nk tggu smpi kedai tu bukak, kedai yg dh bukak awal2 pulak xjual...ayoyo ~ pdhal a night before already mentioned to him to bought the acuan, but since the night before encik suami dh smpi rumah br la teringat dan malas nk keluar balik pi beli
So instead of roti jala..it turns into lempeng ~ but the ingredients is roti jala...So should I call as roti-lempeng?

Then while I prepare the ingredient for roti jala + curry, encik suami asking "masak pulut kuning nak?" I said I never prepare it before and asked him to google...After reading the steps, he said payah ja, kita masak nasi lemak makan ngan kari daging..
So, pulut kuning turns to nasi lemak...~ nasib baik nasik lemak x kaler kuning...

pstt..JJCM sudah success..later I will blog about it k..

Pening dan perlukan idea (memasak)
Entri ini sangat2 memerlukan pendapat anda baik yg dh kawen , maupun yg belum kawen
Minggu depan kan puasa dh start, of course la awal2 puasa kita sah2 la rajin bab sahur2 ni
Ada yg suka simple2 mcm telu dadar/ scramble/ goreng, telur masin, ikan bilis goreng...dan maybe ada yg suka makan lauk lengkap spt makan tghari ada ayam-ikan-sayur
Ok straight to the point, apekah juadah yg agaknya sesuai dihidangkan di wktu sahur sekiranya anda ada tetamu2 yg terdiri drpd keluarga mertua (MIL, ipar2, dan mgkn ada makcik2 ke)?
Ape yg sesuai? Sudah tentu nasi dan lauk...jadi lauk apekah yg sesuai.....?
Saya berimaginasi jika sy menjadi tetamu, sy tidak kisah dgn ape yg tuan rumah hidangkan...tetapi dalam kes ini sudah tentulah ingin menghidangkan yg agak elok sesuai dgn kehadiran tetamu2...
(puas sudah sy belek resepi..tom yam, asam pedas, sayur campur, kari, sup....alahai)
Tolong ye....perlukan idea nih....selera bulan puasa ni rasanya lagi payah dr bulan2 biasa
Terima kasih
