7th Anniversary & D'Kayangan Steamboat Shah Alam

Alhamdulillah.. it has been 7 years we tied the knot! may Allah swt will always grant us the highest level of patience (due to different opinions haha), love, care, and iman to bless our marriage till jannah In sha Allah.

My hubby, despite of his busy schedule has become a sweetheart as usual, giving me that thing in the box hehe... Thank you abang.. It was a suprise-anniversary gift. And me, a lousy wife, I got him a set of wallet and belt the next day... Sorry abang coz I thought we have made it clear that we should spend less hihihi

At night, we went to celebrate and treat the hubby's family especially his parents at D'Kayangan Steamboat, Section 13 Shah Alam. Marvellous buffet and highly recommended especially for celebration.

7 years with two boys.. Alhamdulillah

with my brother in law and sister in law.

The boys were sleepy

My heartbeats

Thank you D'Kayangan for an excellent service!

Almond Brownies Kedut yang simple dan sedap!

Assalamualaikum..

I have baked this brownies for several times (4 times haha) and people love it, especially my husband. I am going to bake this brownies again tonight for Fahri's Little Caliphs final school day session tomorrow. I got the recipe from FB but I have modified a bit of the ingredients accordingly to my kind of flavor ;) Thus, let me share the recipe with you. Happy baking!

So, here are the ingredients:

230gm dark chocolate (any brands)

150gm castor sugar

85gm butter

85gm wheat flour 

23gm cocoa powder

1ts of baking powder

2 eggs

1ts of vanilla essence

1/2 cup of almond powder

1/2 cup of chocolate chips

1/2 cup of chopped almonds

Steps:

1. Double-boil the butter together with dark chocolate and place it aside for a while.

2. In a separate bowl, sieve the flour together with the baking powder. Then, sieve the cocoa powder in the same bowl.

3. Beat the eggs together with castor sugar by using a mixer.

4. Mix together the dark chocolate batter with the eggs batter by using a large spoon.

5. Pour in the flour (cocoa powder + wheat flour + baking powder) into the chocolate mixture followed by the vanilla essence.

6. Stir in the chocolate chips and almond powder.

7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle with the chopped almond on top of it.

8. Preheat the oven to 160c for 10 minutes. Cut a piece of parchment paper or wax paper to hang over 2 sides of the pan and grease it with butter.

9. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the brownies comes out clean, about 30 minutes.

10. Remove to a rack to cool it, and then cut into squares.

Farah's Farewell at Dip n Dip

One of our closest buddies in office has said bye-bye to us :( . She is a sister that I will remember. Hope you are having your good time in the new workplace dear.

So the lunch-group buddies decided to bid Fahrah's farewell at Dip n Dip, Sunway Pyramid. I think I was the happiest person as I was craving over their chocolate sweets :D

 These are the bunch of people who will do anything for food! hehe.. I love them very much.

We ordered 4 types out of their yummy option chocolate sweets.

Tripple Chocolate Crepe. RM17 if I'm not mistaken

This is my fav. Sedapnya.. Alaaaa

 Fettuccine Crepe. RM 29.

This one is really worth it for 4 persons. Seriously. But I can eat this all alone on my own hehe

I couldn't remember the name of this one. But not really like it ;)

 Kak Nurul layankan aje kitorg yg suka posing ni ok

 Haaa... kerjakan fettuccine kita

 Puas hati!

Dip N Dip terbaikkk

Next, some of us still felt incomplete without having yummy pastas at Capricciosh. Absolutely recommended for pasta lovers!

Pasta & Pizza lovers

 Dip n Dip already satisfied my cravings. So, I took their photos.

 Mirror-wefie. Tak senonoh ;p

 Went back to the office and posed at the lifts! haha

They are very close. It's ok. We just pray for the best for our sister.

Yanakitchen: Fish fish fish

Assalamualaikum and hye!

So ...my #2015resolution to cook more and learning more "challenging" dish to be prepared.... IS going ok so far... Challenging dish here means meals that I have never tried to cook before..yup..that's it.. nothing to do with super-difficult-master-chef-amateur meals..no no.. Ok..before talking about the meals that I have prepared, it is my routine to hunt for groceries and "barang basah" on every Fridays, after work..I will be heading to Econsave (on my way home) and shop till my husband drops! teehee.. eh no lah..tak drop lah...sikit je i beli..so.. I've always needed to plan for the dish that I want to prepare for weekend beforehand. Usually, I will try to google some recipes at office and last week..i read a blog and meanly, the blog displayed drooling pictures of 'ikan bakar'...Ini tak boleh jadi..nak try la buat

Therefore..last weekend.. I had prepared:

Saturday: Ikan Keli bakar, air asam (pencicah) and rendang ayam

 Hmmm... sedap tak...hehe

 siap!

 For lunch!

Review: Hubby loved the pair of ikan keli bakar and air asam ni..he said..boleh repeat! Alhamdulillah... Well, rendang ayam pulak..hmm still need to be improved...ini i yg cakap la..my hubby diam je haha

Sunday: Grilled Salmon (bakor je), Telur Rebus Masak Sambal, Chicken Soup and Kailan masak cendawan chitake

 My Salmon!

Salmon and friends

Review: My hubby didn't really like salmon..he actually does not really favor fish..except for catfish or siakap. But he enjoyed my grilled salmon. Fahri did enjoy it...naeem? hmmm... not really..well..no harm for a second try next time...

ok..till my next post of yanakitchen =)

Idea masakan untuk anak-anak

Assalam...

So, like I have mentioned, one of my 2015's resolution is to cook more and less outside food. So, semangat membara2 la..Actually al kisahnya.. sy kesian tgk my son Naeem asyik makan bubur je..sebabnya memang kalau suap benda lain...confirm sama ade die buang balik or die makan 2 suap je. Bubur pulak, memang banyak..tapi lately nampak bubur pun die kurang. So, end of 2014 hari tu, I was thinking maybe die bosan makanan yg sama or maybe die belum excited nak makan sedangkan ya ampun.. umur dah 2 tahun 4 bulan. Jadi, penamatnya, sy berazam sy akan cuba masak macam2 ikut kesesuaian umur Naeem 2 tahun plus dan Fahri 4 tahun plus. So these are some of the menu yg saya masak selama 5 hari. Sebabnya sy amik cuti dari 5th Jan 2014 sampai 7th Jan 2014 semata2 untuk kasi support to Fahri yg dah start school. 

So, resultnyer? 

Alhamdulillah... Naeem dah makan bnyk sekarang! and yg penting die dan nak makan macam2 menu.. tak de la bubur je..so banyakla sikit nutrisi dan zat yg die dapat. Klau abg fahri Alhamdulillah..mmg skrg kuat makan.

Saturday:

 Breakfast: Kuey Teaow Goreng

Ni first time sy try goreng ala Nyonya Kitchen. Memang bebudak ni makan smpai ke petang. Bezanya cuma sy lebihkan kicap masin and rebus udang n sotong sblm dicampak ke dlm kuey tiaow =)

Lunch: Nasi Hujan Panas

Dah lama x buat.. Alhamdulillah..fahri makan banyak..mmg fav die.. adik pun mkn jugak

Sunday:

Breakfast: Kebab sosej filler

First time buat. X sangka FahriNaeem suke sangat! Tapi taktik die bagi diorg mkn sendiri siap ngn sudu garpu pisau diorg semua. Senang je. sy beli roti pita kat giant. Filler die: Goreng sosej sampai agak garing, masukkan bawang holland dan goreng smpai agak layu, masukkan telur yg dipukul with lada sulah n sos tiram, masukkan sos cili dan last skali masukkan carrot yg dipotong nipis. Roti pita tu sy kukus dulu kasi lembut n panas. pastu fill in je la inti ke dlm roti..oh ye..jgn lupa letak salad.. barula seimbang.Harus buat lagi pas ni!

 Lunch: Nasi Ayam

Apa lagi kan..all kids' fav! senang dan confirm bertambah2 diorg makan..

Monday:

Breakfast: Spaghetti Bolognese Meatball

Da lama x buat jugak. Tapi kali ni saya tumis pakai bawang putih je, x masukkan bwg merah..Nyum Nyum

Lunch: Ayam Kurma, Kacang Goreng Hati & Udang Sotong Goreng Kunyit

Antara fav Fahri jugak ayam kurma ni..n paling x sangka Naeem makan banyak sgt

Tuesday:

Breakfast: Nasi Lemak

Menu Wajib.. Budak2 ni mmg suka especially klau ade telur rebus. Abg Fahri's fav. Naeem kurang sikit nasi lemak ni..x tau la nape..tapi die suke sangat nugget tu

Lunch: Fish Fillet masak sweet sour & Chicken Soup

First time masak fish fillet ni. Result die mmg terbaik..Bertambah2 bebudak ni makan.. mmg terbaik gabungan chicken soup n fish fillet ni

Wednesday:

Sizzling Yee Mee

Memang kesukaan diorang ni..kali ni cukup semua bahan.. Alhamdulillah..

So, kalau mommies kat luar tu x de idea nak masak ape..boleh la try menu2 ni..yg penting x pedas sgt tapi masih menyelerakan ok!

Happy 34th Anniversary Umi n Wan

My parents came over to my house from 28th October to 2nd Nov, few weeks ago. One of the reasons is to celebrate their 34th anniversary... how sweet is that hihi...comel je my parents ni. Besides, my sis wanted to watch football game, JDT vs Pahang Tok Gajah... of course la Tok Gajah won kan...And fortunately because of my parents were here, my PIL took this opportunity to balik kampung at Ijuk, Perak. I am happy finally they could go back to kampung (Mak did mention about her intention to go back to settle up few things) and thank u to my parents for looking after my kids while I was in office. win-win situation rite. On the 31st Oct's night, since it was a working day, we postponed the celebration to that particular weekend. So, being me, at least, I bought them an anni cake. And I treated them dominos pizza too! Nyum Nyum.. It was only me, my kids, my parents, my sis n my cousin were there to celebrate. Hubby was having master's class that night.

 These two are my favs!

 Happy 34th anniversary ummi n wan.. U two are the cutest couple ever... My guideline and role models in marriage..

 My beautiful parents...Alhamdulillah...My dad is a one cool husband. He is romantic, soft spoken, love to tease my mom and a great father. Oh yeah..my dad also has a good sense in fashion...My mom is soft, kind, friendly, helpful, lovable and love taking pictures haha. They complete each other so much.

Us without my brother

so, as planned, we gathered for a celebration on Sunday. I gave few options to my parents on the which restaurant they would like to go. So my dad chose to eat Nasi Arab. So I suggested Al-Rawsha, Section 7, Shah Alam. I went to the place once during iftar from last Ramadhan. The place was nice for big family and the ambience...it is like u are in Egypt. The food? Excellent! But of course, there is no satisfaction in food tasting when u have few kids with you..ni problem..mama can come n eat again. Alhamdulillah, every part of the family could make it. It's not even difficult when I only have 3 siblings haha. And we also invited my cousin (very close to my sis..like a twin), Izzah as she is just staying nearby in Section 7.

 Big table for us

 Anak mama yg kreatif

 I forgot the name but a-must-eat

I want this back

 with Naeem

 my mom n fahri

 with my sis, myra...same tak

 my parents with their grandchildren...all boys!
