Here comes Churros...

Assalamualaikum My Churros I have been longing to try the churros. Alhamdulillah, with Atikah's (my eldest) help, I finally had the opportunity to make it in our home kitchen. The process was pretty simple. With a simple instruction, Atikah managed to do it on her own. Here come the c&p recipe that I used. Its taken from the Allrecipe website. It is such a help. INGREDIENTS: 1 cup water 2 1/2 tablespoons white sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 cup all-purpose flour 2 quarts oil for frying 1/2 cup white sugar, or to taste 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon DIRECTIONS: 1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine water, 2 1/2 tablespoons sugar, salt and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Bring to a boil and remove from heat. Stir in flour until mixture forms a ball. 2.

Meehoon Sempoi

Assalamualaikum.... Anak tekak dan selera ni memang menghairankan. Ada kalanya kita 'crave', nak sangat-sangat makan sesuatu. Dan kadang-kadang pula kita 'really dislike' makanan tersebut. Dan bila selera terbuka, selera menghubungkannya dengan otak yang seterusnya menggerakkan kakitangan sehinggakan dalam keadaan letihpun kita masih manpu menyiapkan juadah yang diidam (only applies if we know how to make it). Aku teringin makan meehoon. Hari dah malam. Aku buka petiais in searching for anything to add to the flavor..... there's only chicken. Well..... chicken will do. My ultimate is 'makan meehoon'. Bahan2: 1/2 paket meehoon (direndam) 1 bawang besar 3 ulas bawang putih 1 sudu besar cili kisar Isi ayam Tomato sos (secukup rasa) Garam gula (secukup rasa) Cara: 1. Tumis bawang hingga kekuningan, masukkan isi ayam. Biarkan ia masak. 2. Masukkan cili kisar, tomato sos dan garam. Biarkan semua bahan masak. Tambah air jika perlu. 3...

Savoury French Toast

Assalamualaykum and good day all, One nice thing about cooking your own meal is that you can prepare it to suit your taste buds. You can make it savoury, spicy, sweet or sour, just the way you like it. The original french toast is eaten with golden syrup or honey. Being a Malay origin, I'd prefer mine to be slightly savoury, which is not suitable to be eaten with honey or alike. By definition, savoury or savory is having a spicy or salty quality without being sweet (definition by Online Merrriam Webster Dictionary). And that is how I like my french toast to taste.  To make it: 6 slices of sandwich bread *2 egss beaten *1 onion - sliced *Salt and pepper How to: 1. Heat the non-stick griddle  2. Mixed all the ingredient in a bowl 3. Apply butter slightly on both side of the bread 4. Dip the bread into the egg mixture 5. Toast on the griddle till brown on both sides It makes a perfect breakfast. Alhamdulillah .....

Masak Lemak Cili Api Telur Masin

Assalamualaikum Kata orang, "Rezeki jangan Ditolak". Itulah ibarat apa yang terjadi. I have longed hoping to eat this masak lemak cili api but the belimbing buluh seems nowehere to be found. Not always at the market, and the tree outside my house is considered barren.  Coming for kuliah subuh at the surau on Sunday morning, is where the 'rezeki' lies. Alhamdulillah. But... I do not have the suitable fish for the dish. As an alternative, the sailted egg will do. Apa yang kita perlukan:  1 telur masin (for single serving)  1 batang serai (dititik) 1 inci kunyit 10 biji cili api Segenggam belimbing buluh Santan Garam secukup rasa 1. Kisar cili dan kunyit. 2.

Masa sehingga cili dan kunyit masak. masukkan sedikit air. 5. Masukkan telur masin yang dipecahkan. Biarkan dia mengeras. 6. Masukkan sa...

Serabai

Alhamdulillah.... sedapnya dapat makan air tangan mak. Especially when you come back from a day's work and find that it is readily served.  Serabai .... bukan selalu dapat makan serabai ni. Cannot easily find in just any restaurant. In fact I do not know any restaurant that are selling serabai but I am sure there are. Making serabai mak's style requires few tedious steps, however, the outcome is deliciously amazing.... at least to my taste buds. First we need to make the 'tapai', as mak call it, it must be done at least a day earlier. Next, to prepare the batter and let it sit. Then only to cook it. The recipe: This recipe requires 'tapaian nasi' 1 cawan nasi 1 sudu kecil ragi Caranya: Taburkan ragi di atas nasi. Percikkan air ke atas nasi. Masukkan dalam bekas kedap udara dan biarkan proses penapaian berlaku selama 1 malam (24 jam ). Bahan serabai: 2 1/2 cawan tepung beras 1/2 cawan tepung gandum 2 cawan santan pekat 1/2 bancuh...
