i want that karipap!

it's crazy how i felt about that karipap. i loved it at the first bite. and i want to eat the same karipap whenever i want it. so in order to get what i want, i must learn how to make a perfect karipap. guess from who i get it? yeah you're all right.... from my beloved mother! seems like my mum's karipap getting a 360* turn from the 1980s karipap that i brought to school discreetly for sale. you know how canteen makcik hated it when student bring food to sell at school.  Now after more than 20 years, i decided to really learn how to make a perfect karipap, perfect dough, perfect fillings and perfect handmade karipap plait. so, i kidnap my mum for one night..and together we made this karipap...while chit chatting about almost everything that cross our mind from my siblings stories, my kids, also about mother's feeling towards her children which make us oblivious about time.   (the above story was written about 1 month ago...apa la blogger ni kan..tak hapdet hapdet!) ...

For Girls Only...wink wink

GIRLS' CATCHING UPS.... I've been very busy for the past 2 weeks. Busy planning and preparing for my 1st ever reunion with ex-LLB IIUM or girls' get together as my husband prefer to call it. Now after 2 days of resting, no cooking no baking, no blogging also, i'm now ready to indulge myself in this intoxicating hobby called baking hehe... today i plan to fulfill my daughter's classmate's dream of having my baked cheesecake by herself. no more mengicak from my daughter eisya which i think not sufficient for her. She's actually my 1st customer! hehe... Eisya as sales exec...hmm should I start my new profession? Don't think so... cook/bake and write suit me more. *JAS NITA WIWI JEEJA* MARNIZA After I came back from my reunion, my head keep provoking me to write about my memories back in college. Actually the idea of writing it came from marniza. I think her brain storage system is better than me.  Wiwi's also. I know this project won't be easy....

Rasuk and BTS cake..

Image
It hits me last night that our malay movie just cannot go (bunyi kelate sikit).. I watched a so called horror movie Rasuk hoping that it's as good as or rather as seram as Ju On or at least as Khurafat but to my total disappointment it was like watching  homemade youtube video. Paling menyampah ada doktor asik ketawa terbahak2 sepanjang masa said it's good to release tension... Turns out that the doctor was sexual maniac... He raped his patient in his clinic. That was so unnecessary and mencacatkan lagi cerita yg dah terlampau cacat tu. Sorryla tuan director..Next time don't make malay horror movie if you are not equipped with the correct info from the correct person. But the day was not ended with sour note... I make a cake supposedly better that anything in this world...they name it as better than sex cake...I call it BTS cake..(but sorry to say that my --- is so much better than this cake hahaha). Found it on momwhothink.com. This is how it looks like.. Top view Cro...

my own cheesecake?

Image
Unbelievable! never thought that i could produce a cheesecake on my own...after so many years depending on secret recipe, finally the tie is severed..hip hip hooray!!! the funny thing is that i never search cheesecake recipes on the internet...never. what i had in mind was that this superlicious cake is impossible (for me)...hmm it turns out to be the easiest cake to make, no hard and fast rule, not beat-until-fluffy kind of thing except for the cream cheese that has to be beaten until soft and creamy. Now to my beloved sisters who constantly encourage me (by testing my products so excitedly)  here's the recipe and the how-tos:- Yeayy!! my first cheese cake. Baked Cheesecake  Ok ok the ingredients and methods are:- Prepare baking tin. line with aluminium foil 200g digestive biscuits (crushed and mix with 2 tbsp sugar) 113g butter melted and pour into the biscuits, mix well  Pour into the pan and flatten it. This is the base of the cake. Bake for 10 min 180degree...

FRUITS FRUTTY FRUITTIES!!!

I love fruit, any kinds of fruit..local or imported fruits. Durian season together with rambutan, mangosteen, langsat, cempedak was my favourite time. It brings a lot of fond memories. I remember waiting for the durian to fall from the tree..bagai menunggu bulan jatuh ke riba (like waiting for the moon to fall on my lap).. Me and my sister did all sort of activities like singing dancing playing batu seremban, tutup botol (bottle cap) .. though we have to watch out for the strayed wild boar.. Lucky not one passed by.. After few hours of waiting we heard a not so loud "Bhupp" the sound of something falling to the ground. We rushed to the place where we thought the sound comes from and WAH! There we found a small durian covered with dried leaves and what a joy it brings to us..  hmm...hope my children have the chance to experience this pure excitement.. Ha! speaking about fruits, I've made an easy fruit tart for my sister's engagement day. Very simple yet so fresh a...
