Langkawi Travelog

Salam to all.... Our first day in Langkawi - we had a very adventurous and exciting (tiring and exhausting) day in Langkawi. I wanted to strictly follow the itinerary as prepared by me but "Kita hanya merancang, Allah yang menentukan".. First, we planned to take a dip at  Tanjung Rhu beach but the beach was quite unsafe and unpredictable. My mom said it looks like a wok. The current and wave could pull us further into the sea. Scary kan. So we agreed to just snap a few pictures as memento and my kids as usual played with the white sand and Eisya collected few seashells for her art project.. Then we proceed to the jetty nearby the beach for the mangrove tour. Basically it's a tour by boat through  the mangrove forest, bat cave, crocodile cave and eagle feeding. We finished it off by having our lunch at the Thai seafood floating restaurant. Marvelous food because the seafood are the freshest. Shamin get to see his favourite pet "Baby". A baby stingray which

Healthy Breakfast Anyone?

Salam and happy new day to all my friends... Have you all heard of a breakfast known as "Healthy Breakfast". I prepare it every morning for me and my husband before we go for work. I just popped in 1 green apple, 4 tbsp fresh plain yogurt, 200ml low fat milk or fresh milk, 2 scoop berry protein powder, 1/2 packet of low fat positrim drink mix, 2 tbsp fortified beverage lemon lime, a multivitamin and a few other vitamins into my blender and walla!. Super easy, delicious and nutritious. Ha! Ramadhan is approaching. This drink is perfect for sahur meal. Just take this and you'll be energetic throughout the fasting day. Happy trying!

Salam to all readers... I start salivating when I mention this dish. Gulai Tempoyak Pucuk Ubi Racik.. my favourite forever and ever...though my other half won't even try it (even if i threaten to jump..hehe). I learned how to cook this special dish since i was 8 or 9 I think and I finally cooked it myself (because my mom was not at home...working) when I was 12 years old. And it turned out pretty well. We had it with hot rice and fried fresh water fis h (ikan sungai which i don't know its real name which my father got it from fishing at the river just behind our house. But quite sadly, there are fewer fish in that river nowadays. Hmm.. environmental issue comes in... better discuss it in a different platform la kan... So to all of my brothers and sisters, I invite you to share your memorable and enjoyable cooking experience so that we can look at it with warm heart and feelings and we can exchange good recipes and useful tips to enhance our cooking skill and experience.
