Kebab

Good morning!!!! Let's make a different today. (At least for my kitchen). Done with cereals, nasi lemak, lempeng or mee goreng, lets have something different this morning. Considering the kids only had something light for their dinner last nite, I resort to making an instant kebab!! Mmmm .... Amacam? Terliur tak? Well, very easy to prepare. I used all the instant ingredients. Onion - diced Ayamas Chicken burger - suitable for grilling, defrost and sliced (do not take too long to defrost it as it is difficult to slice it later) Olive - sliced Tomato - diced Olive oil Oppss... don't forget the bread - I use Gardenia's rolls. 1. Heat the pan with olive oil. 2. Fry the sliced chicken burger till cooked. 3. Add onion, tomato and olive. 4. Add seasonings - salt & pepper. 5. Cut the roll in the center vertically, but do not separate it. Apply butter onto it. 4. Toast it over the burning stove for a while (to replace charcoal burn). 5. Stuffed the chicken burger. 6. Garnish wit

Broccoli Soup

Suddenly I felt like I need an extra anti oxidant. And from reading I know that broccoli is a source of this anti oxidant. Normally, broccoli is stir fried in my kitchen, but this time, let's make an innovation for my kitchen. Let's cook broccoli soup. Had it before somewhere, and I liked it. Now to let the family taste it. The recipe was taken from Majalah Rasa (bulan tak ingat) . A very simple dish again. Sebenarnya, memasak itu mudah, asalkan MAHU. A liltle bit modification will do no harm, InsyaAllah. Most importantly, HALAL . The ingredient: Olive oil Broccoli Onion Garlic Chicken - sliced thinly Potato - if preferred Chicken stock (I used chicken soup - therefore it has some taste of herbs) Whip cream (I used fresh milk) Salt and pepper to taste Flour to thicken the soup How to: 1. Saute chopped onion and garlic in a heated olive oil. 2. Add some minced chicken, followed by broccoli and potato. Fried till soft. 3. Add chicken stock and the whip cream. 4. Remove from th

Cheese Cake

Tak sangka sungguh nak buat cheese cake ni. It came from K.Yan. She was telling how Sarah made cheese cake at Mak Long's house, and it excites me. I decided to make one. Luckily, hubby is so supportive to assist me in finding the ingredients (even though he doesnt like cheese). The ingredient: Philadelphia Cream Cheese Digestive Biscuit (for the base) Butter (leave at room temperature) 2 eggs Whipping cream Evaporated Milk to taste. (no exact measurement was given, as k.yan practically taste it before baking ;-)) Steps: 1. Blend the biscuits into crumbs. 2. Mix it with butter. Just enough butter is required to wet the biscuit. 3. Press onto a baking tray to form a base for the cheese cake. 4. Whip the cream cheese in the mixer till doubled. 5. Add whip cream, evaporated milk and eggs. 6. Pour onto the base. Bake in the oven. But .... as my microwave was malfunctioning, we opt to steam it and the result was superb and in fact better (according to kak yan la ...).

Strawberry chocolate

This is a very, extremely simple recipe. The strawberries were bought during our family trip to Cameron Higland last December (resipi ni pun dah lama .... bukan la baru buat, or else strawberry tu pasti dah lebur) . I got the idea for this from Pah (Musfirah). Instead of buying those strawberry chocolate at the Pasar Malam, it'll be great to try doing it at home. The kids LOVE it .... nak beli mahal oooo .... How did I do it? Simple. Double boiled the cooking chocolate. Once ready, dip the strawberry into it. We (Atikah and me) used chopsticks to hold the strawberry in order not to spoil it if using a fork (guna tangan pun boleh, tapi takut orang kata tak hygiene le pulak ...) . And its ready for eating. Nyum! Nyum! Jimat dan Bersih!!
