Bento box and brownie!

Hi! its been weeks since i blogged. I have been busy with my part time job! Who knew one could actually be very tired and busy from a part time job........if you're curious, i'm working at Kinokuniya Stationary KLCC.

I have two days off, yesterday and today.

Today my bf and me went to KL. We went from Times Sq to Low Yat, to Sg Wang and then to Lot 10, to Fahrenheit 88 to Pavilion,...

and then circled all the way back to Times Sq again... ヾ(。￣□￣)ﾂ

We had Shabu Shabu at Times Sq for lunch....but as alwaysss I FORGOT TO TAKE DAMN PHOTOS!!! ...mainly cause they were showing KungFu Panda 2/and then Mr.Bean Holiday...so we were too busy eating and watching it and laughing like some idiots, ignoring all the other customer........

And then while we were at Low Yat, it rained..so we sat and had snacks at Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf... and talk some more about pokemons and some other shitty stuff that i'm sure other couples don't really talk about and laughing again like morons.........

Caramel Coffee & Boston Brownie ლ(´ڡ`ლ)

the brownie is absolutely delicious and heavenly!

both is about rm25.

My bf bought me a cute pink pill earphone and a cutesy bear head bento box! I'm so happy!!! 

ヽ(*≧ω≦)ﾉ 

earphone (rm10) is bought at a shop at IT centre and bento box (rm5) is bought at Hyakuland, a new japanese store much like Daiso! (both at Times Sq)

random update!: two of my four kittehs (james bond/male and snowbell/female was safely neutered on September 5. they are recovering well and as active and naughty as always... my other two females, geegee and doe will be having their appointment next month! hehehe

ok.Bye!

A Week of Eid.

Ohmygosh. It's been over a week since my last post...i was honestly very very busy! It was so crazy and i was all over the place that i didn't even snap much photos even though i carried my camera everywhere!

see that tiny piece of red cake? that's my red velvet that got gobbled up in less than half an hour it was "presented" on the morning of eid...hehe. the green pandan layer one was bought by my cousin.

the food. kari daging, kuah lodeh, ayam masak merah, nasi jagung, nasi impit, acar mentah nanas and oranges.

the cookies and others. mostly are store bought...hehe..

homemade dadih.

the keropok.

the cookies. the white one is super duper crazy good, its 

bangkit cheese!

this is on the 3rd day of eid. at my aunt's. that's her huge kitteh! <3

Eid.

Tomorrow is Hari Raya Aidilfitri. 
And tonight we are preparing all the ingredients and stuff for tomorrow's feast. This year mom decides to make Kari Daging (Beef Curry) instead of the usual Rendang. And as always, Ayam Masak Merah (a chicken dish) is a must in our home. The nasi impit is already done this evening and so is the kari daging, all is left is the chicken.

This year, just like the past two raya, i baked red velvet cake, and it is now waiting to be iced. My cousin is also here to celebrate raya with us. The house is already cleaned and the furniture rearranged last night and the night before, hence why i haven't been online the past few days.

Raya here in Cheras, Kuala Lumpur now hadn't been the same as it used to be, it's not as festive as when i was little. As a matter of fact it has been quite dull since 3-4 years ago...probably because the kids nowadays are not like how the kids when i was younger was. We were a much livelier bunch...

But raya is still raya now matter what...the food, the cookies, the chit chatting and the duit raya is still as it ever were.

Alright, i'm going to continue with work now! SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDILFITRI everyone! DON'T FORGET TO VISIT YOUR MUSLIM FRIENDS AND ENJOY THE FEAST!

Malaysian Malay Weddings.

Oh Hi Blog Visitors! ヽ(=^･ω･^=)丿
(that's if i have any.....tsk tsk.)

so here is something random but "somewhat" food related......hehe

WEDDINGS.

This was an old photo of my cousin's wedding. I was the "maid-of-honor" of some sort, the picture above is the banquet table for the bride and groom and their close family. Typical Malay weddings are like this, fancy banquet table for bride+groom+close family and standard tables for other guest. Malaysian Malay wedding guest invites usually are above 300 people. The food are mostly caterings these days and are consisting of specialty rice and various side dishes from lamb, beef, chicken, fish to vegetables and fruits.

The bride and groom in red traditional Malay wedding costumes. And the one wearing white baju kurung with black tudung and smiling like a goofball is me >__<"

This one is when the bride+groom posse are "berarak" (marching) from a certain distance (usually a place just further away from the guest's views) with typical Malay's kompang group in the background (a sort of group playing a musical instrument which i don't know how to explain but you can see for yourself in the next picture).

And when the bride+groom arrives, they are seated at the pelamin for all guest to see. The bride+groom usually sits there for 15 minutes to maybe an hour or so, depending if there are guest wanting to take pictures and tepung tawar (its does not translate as plain flour....but instead it means a sort of activity where guest comes and throw fragrant shreddings of flowers/rice/pandan leaves and rose water towards the bride+groom, as a sign of blessings). 

There you can see the kompang group singing and hitting playing their instruments (which is called kompang). And of course, what's a wedding without cakes? This was a vanilla sponge cake with buttercream.

NO thanks to my cousin's GREAT photography skill, i didn't have any decent front view of the pelamin to show here but,,,i do have two other wedding pelamin that i took when i went to my other cousin's and neighbor's weddings.

this is my cousin's wedding. also with red+white theme.

this is my neighbor's pelamin. still with white theme, but with a hint of gold.

well, it wouldn't be fair if i post their pelamin but not the bride+groom..cute eh?

☆*:.｡. o(≧▽≦)o .｡.:*☆

ok that's it. something random and food related. hehe

WEDDINGS. i love them, especially the all you can eat FOOD.

how do you do weddings in your country?

Energy Drink.

Do you like energy drink? i do. whenever i drink one, i'll be up all night.

the Krating Daeng. 

RED BULL sold in Malaysia are the Thailand version.

can is shorter, wider and gold. it is a lot more sweeter and honey-like.

(image courtesy of wiki)

the overseas version. taste less sweet and have a sort of bitter aftertaste (to me atleast).

(づ￣ ³￣)づ

but red bull is only my 2nd choice...only when my all time favorite isn't available..

and my all time favorite energy drink is??? LIVITA of course (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)  ♥･*:.｡. ♥.｡.:*･♥

(my dad introduced it to me when i was younger. he would buy half a dozen (sometimes more) for our trips in the car going back kampung or holidays)

the ones we have in Malaysia are like this.

i had the regular ones growing up 

but now i love the honey ones simply cause i love it sweeter!

(image courtesy of wiki)

this is the original japanese version LIPOVITAN!

not available in Malaysia...tsk.tsk.

♡(*´∀｀*)人(*´∀｀*)♡

which one do you have in your country ( ・◇・)？

Marshmallow Fondant?

Oh Hi!

11th day of Ramadhan today and i'm googling recipes of cakes, cookies and stuff. I'm eager to try out fondant / sugar paste making but sadly the ingredients are very hard to find here in Malaysia. Where can i get liquid glucose? or glycerin? and even corn syrup is hard to find....ugh. I don't want to to have to buy the ready made one (which i don't know elsewhere to get but from ICCA's at Damansara) cause i wanted to try to do it myself, plus it should be cheaper to do so, plus Damansara's a maze to me and i always get lost there....sigh T___T

So, i googled and googled and googled until my head spins.......

And found out about Marshmallow Fondant!

oh. my life is saved by the google fairy.

Found this lovely website >>> clockworklemon
and i'm going to try this out soon! hopefully i remember to snap pictures and stuff for posting on this blog...hehehe.. :p

bye for now <3
