Assalamualaikum all, Tired of eating rice everyday? We do, sometimes. And some other times are because ibu is either too busy or too lazy to prepare rice for dinner.  How about sandwich for a change? However, you need to have the correct ingredients to make it happen. This is an outdated entry of my CHICKEN SANDWICH . Chicken sandwich The chicken for this sandwich came from a roasted chicken I made earlier. Knowing that there's chicken leftover, I grabbed a french loaf from a supermarket (bayar ye! bukan main rembat je!!) and headed home. The making was so easy. It depends on one's creativity and taste. My ingredients 1 french loaf - cut into 4 portions and halved. Sliced roasted chicken Spread - Mayo, mustard, tomato ketchup Sliced cheese - only for Hakim Veges - salad, tomato, onion How I made it Toast the loaf on both sides. I used the griller on hot stove. For Hakim's (with cheese), I let the cheese melt on the loaf while toasting. Once done,

Assalamualaikum dear readers, Sabrina is allergic to coconut milk. A severe case is when she was in Standard one. She had just a lick of the coconut milk while at a day care which landed her on a hospital bed for more than a week. As she grows older, she is very cautious with the ingredients that are in her food. Experience teaches her to be more cautious as asthma attack is definitely something that you can act lighly upon. As Ibu, I have to creatively modify the ingredients to suit her. Therefore, here goes how I make my Santan-less Chicken Rendang . Perhaps there are someone out there who are facing the same problem. The ingredients: 2 stalk of lemon grass 2 inches of ginger 1 inch of fresh tumeric 2 large onions 4 red chillis 10 small chillis (cili padi) Blend all the above ingredients in a blender till fine. Other ingredients: Chicken - Cleaned and cut into small pieces to your liking. I leave the skin on this time. 1 cup of evaporated milk tumeric leaves -

Assalamualaikum. Salam Eid Adha (belated - dah 13 Zulhijjah) Wanted to update this earlier but my hands are tied-up with many tasks. Walked by the PC but unable to get a click on it. This is what we had in the morning of Eidul Adha. A simple breakfast enjoyed by our small family. Servings are ready. Eat only after Solat Eid (sunnah) Lemang (bought earlier), rendang (santan-less), soto (soup), nasi impit. Closer look at the dish. Sabrina cannot take santan, therefore I opt for santan-less rendang and soto for her. Ayah does not like nasi impit, therefore the rendang and lemang is for him. Atikah mentioned Lontong , hurriedly I made some for her in the morning. Hakim and me? We love everything here. Alhamdulillah. Wassalam.

Assalamualaikum all, I am here today, after a long break. And consistently on break. Sharing with you today is my Santan -less Nasi Lemak. Hakim's. Fried his own egg with ibu's help This is how we enjoy nasi lemak in my house. Due to Sabrina's allergy and my laziness, our nasi lemak is always santan-less. Or else, Sabrina may never be able to taste what it is nasi lemak. This recipe came out after several failings, failures and frustration. And now, I would like to share the tips and tricks of making the SANTAN-LESS NASI LEMAK as how my family accepted it. --- Accepted it -- because if given choices, we would prefer the one with high cholestrol --- that is with santan. :-) The Ingredients: For the rice: 3 cups of rice (Basmathi if you prefer it) 4 cups of plain water  1 large onion 1 inch of ginger - sliced 1 table spoon of evaporated milk 2 tablespoon of olive oil 1 Pandanus leaf - tie into a knot Salt to taste How to: 1.

Assalamualaikum all,  Bow tie Pasta and sauce This is a 30-minutes cooking - dashed cooking. Came back at almost 6.30pm, and hurriedly went into the kitchen. However, the planning begins in the car. A quick survey in the car for what to have for dinner, coupled  with what is in storage at the moment will normally came out with the dish for dinner. I quickly took out a packet of bow tie pasta (was earlier comtemplating whether a bow tie or spaghetti) and boil it in pot of water.

For the sauce, I used: Tomato paste Tomato sauce Minced beef 1 large onion Vegies - celery, mushroom, green pepper, tomatoes Stock (chicken/ beef/ prawn) salt, pepper and sugar to taste. 2 table spoon of olive oil How I did it: I quickly saute the onion, followed by the minced beef.

Assalamualaikum, Thinking of what to cook is not always interesting. At times we really ran out of idea. Browsing will sometimes help. Looking into the fridge for your stocks is another approach. Looking around your house could be another option. The appetizing fresh chive fried with shrimps I recently went around the house, into my Herbs Garden  and found some chives ready to be harvested. A quick search with the help of Mr Google found me with this interesting facts about chive: As a family of garlic and onion, chives is high in allicin. It also contain anti-cancer properties, and help in digestion. It is also a source of supplies for many vitamins and minerals such as potassium, calcium, beta-carotene, folic acid and vitamin K.   Read more:  http://www.livestrong.com/article/407900-health-benefits-of-chives/#ixzz28ksLCGRY   Amazing isn't it.

Assalamualaikum dear readers, Yes, I know it has been ages since my last update. Well, my usual lame excuse, BUSY.

Assalamualaikum dear readers, During the past Ramadhan, I was a loyal viewer of this cooking show on TV AlHijrah. The show was called 'Hidangan Barakah' hosted by a Jordanian Chef, Chef Ammar. Many delicious Arabian dish were taught through the programe. One dish that caught my interest was the Roti Arab, a flat bread. I used to buy this Roti Arab to be eaten with curry. And now I know that the dish is quite easy to prepare. It took only about 1 hour to prepare and cook it. With the Roti Arab, we can also use it to make a Shwarma . Shwarma is the middle east food that use grilled beef, lamb or chicken as a filling, and wrapped. Some may use the Roti Arab or the pita bread. Other filling for the shwarma depends on your liking. Making the Roti Arab: 300gm plain flour 2 table spoon olive oil 1 teaspoon baking water pinch of salt and sugar 1 cup of plain water (approximate) How to: Mix all the dry ingredients well in a bowl Add olive oil, mix again Add water, and knead the dough t

Assalamualaikum all, Selamat Hari Raya. Enjoy your eid festive? Alhamdulillah .... Enjoy the food? Alhamdulillah. Today, I would like to share my success story. The story of the Pot Roast Chicken . Can you see the roasted chicken? It looks burnt, but its not. Its the honey that I poured on it that is burnt. The taste is marvelous. I even got a request to have it again from my husband. This was my second attempt (as an amateur). My first try with the oven was not so successful. The chicken was overcooked and became very dry and hard even though its not burnt. Therefore, this time I took all the precautionary action and seek some tips from the expert. I got the tips from my friend, Rose Hafsah, who is an active cook, who cooks for her eight children and a husband everyday. Wow! I salute!!! She told me to use the Pot Roast technique. According to her, this will able to preserve the moist of the chicken leaving it very tender and juicy when cooked. With her technique, I pre-cooked a marin

Assalamualaikum Dear Readers, Thinking of what to cook for iftar was indeed the most talkable topic in the office when the office hours is almost over. We eat everyday, whether it is during Ramadhan or not. But I wonder why it is a major consideration when cooking for iftar when Allah has promised that the TWO most special occasion for those who are fasting is during iftar and when meeting the Rabb in the hereafter. It tells that iftar was a special occasion, serve anything at that time, I bet, you will find it delicious. It is easier said than done, I am still thinking about what to cook for today's iftar. At times, simple menu is the most delicious menu. And recently, I made the SIMPLE MACKEREL in TAMARIND JUICE. You can substitute the fish to any fish that you like. Mouth watering isn't it? As simple it is called, I used: Slightly fried fish (it was mackerel here) 1 large onion - sliced 1 inch of ginger - sliced thinly 5 small Fiery hot chillies (cili api) 1 table spoon of t

Salam all, Earlier this Ramadhan, I do not think that 'kuih-muih' (delicacies) is required for iftar. However, off late, I crave to have some delicacies during iftar. I really had tough time to think of what delicacies to prepare. My two attempt to buy it from a restaurant ended up with me alone munching the kuih-muih to avoid wastage. And now, I resort to preparing the kuih muih on my own. The type of kuih muih will depend on how much time I have (which normally is not much). The one that I would like to share took only about 15 minutes preparation time and less than 10 minutes cooking time. If you have the filling ready, the preparation time is reduced to just 5 minutes. Even Sabrina can do the rolling on her own. Here goes my Sardine Roll. My Ingredients: For the Fillings 1 potato - peeled, diced small 1 onion - diced small 1 can of Sardine (mind me, mine is h0memade, by my beloved mother) Salt to taste Chilli paste (1/2 teaspoon - optional) 1 tablespoon cooking oil Method 1

Assalamualaikum dear readers, Sabrina has frequently asked me to prepare the Bubur Cha Cha. "What? Sabrina eating the Bubur Cha Cha? I thought you said your dear daughter is allergic to coconut milk? How can she eat Bubur Cha Cha? It contains coconut milk." I guess, that might be what some of you will think. Yes, my dear Sabrina is allergic to coconut milk and she still does. Therefore, my version is without the coconut milk. That's the beauty of cooking your own meal because you can substitute and add any ingredients as you like and experiment a new recipe with it. My substitute for the coconut milk of course will be 'MILK' and this time I used the FRESH MILK instead of the usual evaporated milk. Alhamdulillah, everyone likes it including ayah who dislikes FRESH MILK very much. I am not sure how it got its name, as normally Cha Cha refers to a type of dance. Perhaps because it comes in multiple colours that it looks very lively and fresh, just like the dance. Cha

Assalamualaikum, First, don't forget to answer my Salam. :-) It's the 12th day of Ramadhan 1433. How is everybody doing? How is your tarawih and taddarrus? Sustain .... insyaAllah. I would like to share Sabrina's favourite. Something edible to her only when ibu cooked it. It's the Eggless Kek Batik . The original recipe requires at least an egg, however, specifically for my dear Sabrina, I made some modification by omitting the egg from the recipe, Alhamdulillah it turned out fine. Here is how my eggless kek batik looks like. My ingredients: *1 bar of butter (250gm) - unsalted is preferable *10 table spoon of milo * 3 table spoon of condensed milk 1 packet of biscuit (biskut Marie is preferred) - break into quaters Methods: 1. Put all the * ingredients in a pot. Melt it on the stove. Stir consistently. 2. Once all the ingredients melt, turn off the stove, and add the biscuits, mix well - evenly. 3. Now, move the biscuits into a container. Press hard to compact it. When

Assalamualaikum, 'Nasi Maqlubah Platinum' as I named it. Its an Arabic dish with some modification made to it. As usual, as a researcher I love to try and experiment my cooking to suit my taste. And here is how I made it. I got a recipe from a friend. She claimed that it is super easy to cook. I tried once. Yes, it is easy however, it was a bit bland to me. What do you expect when you learn a recipe just by listening during a conversation. Therefore this time, I made some changes and Alhamdulillah it turned out to be great. Ingredients: 1) Vege 1 round brinjal - cut into quaters 2 potatoes - peeled, cut into quaters A handful of cauliflower - cut into big chunks Carrot - cut into 1 inch log-like shapes (You can add any other ingredients if you wish, but these are recommended by my friend) Fry separately all the ingredients for a short while.

Salam all, Yiihhaaa .... my third blog update in a row!!! Not bad huh for someone who did not regularly update her blog. And now it's Pizza time. I made it last week, Tuesday (yes, I remembered the day very well because it was ayah's badminton day). The kids refuse to eat rice, they just had 'goreng pisang' and some 'kuih muih' after returning from school and said that they were full and do not want to eat anymore. Ayah, as usual will not eat rice on his badminton's night. Therefore, at 8pm, I started to prepare the dough and two hours later, the pizza is already in the oven. Hmmm .... fresh homemade pizza! Fresh from the oven!!! Wonderfully delicious!!! You can pick your own toppings!!! For me, why french beans? Let's read what I found about french beans from here : Consumption of French Beans helps in toning spleen and kidneys Increasing haemoglobin count and provides energy to the body without adding calories. alleviating swelling stomach ,bad appeti

Salam all, Nothing much left in the fridge. Tomorrow will be 'shopping day' or 'fish market day'. What's left is this black pomfret (bawal hitam lah tu!!!). Black pomfret will make a delicious curry, but I don't feel like eating curry at the moment. I guess, I am the only Penangian who does not crazily likes curry. If curry is not to my desire, what's cooking??? Well, a simple Bawal Taucu is delicious too. Taucu? Anybody here does not know what taucu is? Taucu is made from black soy bean, fermented and salty. How's cooking? Simple, all you need are: 2 table spoon of taucu (easily bought from any groceries shop, either bottled or packed for single use) 1 large onion, sliced into rings tamarind juice (I used adam jawa xtra - nak cepat) fresh chillies (I used the cili paid - small but spicy chill for a hotter taste as my husband likes it) 2 table spoon cooking oil About a cup of plain water No salt please as the taucu is already very salty. Do not forget th

Salam all, Sunday is a day when I would like to try out new recipe or new ideas for cooking. I am trying this one today. I watched the program called "5 Rencah 5 Rasa" on Astro yesterday and was trying hard to memorize the recipe to try it out. And here it is, today, I tried it. It's crunchy and very filling. You can just eat it just like that or dip into any sauce of your like. The name given by the chef was something else but I changed it to "Floating Spinach" as it floats when you fry it. Besides spinach, you can fry any other vege using the same batter. I tried with mushroom and it was yummy too. Getting the kids to eat vege is not an easy task. By doing this, they enjoyed it. This is not my first time doing this vege coated recipe, however, my earlier trials was just using the simply bought of the shelfs tempura flour. This time, with the homemade batter, I guarantee you the taste that will make you want more. A quick search on the interne t found me with t

Registered another blog for email uploads. I wonder how does it know to which blog it will go. Trying now.

Salam all, First of all I would like to express my gratitute to Allah SWT for giving us this delicious food, reached at our door step through our generous friend, Norizan Md Diah. Izan's brother came from Kota Kinabalu and brought some fresh prawns for her. Generously, she distributed the prawns to her friends. Alhamdulillah, I am lucky to be among her friend. Kota Kinabalu, Sabah is well known for its fresh sea food. Anyone flewn from KK will never missed to bring along the fresh sea food, especially prawns to the Peninsular. Not to worry about the packaging as the prawns are well packed, frozen for travelling. I wonder what I should cook with these prawns. Some time ago when I have these large prawns, I try making the sweet and sour prawns, it tasted delicious but we could not actually enjoy the sweet and delicious taste of the prawn as it is covered with gravy. Therefore, this time, I planned just to fry the prawns. I chose to make a 'Coated Prawn'. *Note: No time for de
