Savory Tartlets


My schedule had been pretty hectic for the past 2 weeks. That explains the lack of updates in this blog. At times, I have to steal some time to check my mails and at the same time, clicked on my blog just to see if it needs my urgent attention.... hihii... just to make it sound important, but the truth is, there's nothing much! Hahaha....

We came back from our holiday in Malacca last Wednesday. Hubby was on leave for the whole week. I'm loving it! If only he does not have to go to work, it'll be just great! Why? Because whenever he's around, I will be his faithful companion. Everywhere he goes, he'll ask me to go with him which I will obediently gedik-ally follow. Though at times, I am drained out towards the end of the day, but I just love it. Forget the tongkang pecah house for a moment and cheerish the makan angin time!

Last Saturday night we went to Big Plate, Shah Alam for dinner. Just to give the kids a treat, especially Fatin before she goes back to her hostel. This time, I ordered just the Kiddy's Meal. Why? I told hubby, let me have a small portion of my main course, so that I can 'help' them to finish up their leftovers, mainly vegetables! I just love the vegies! But when my fish and chips plate came, supposedly a small one, for kids that is, I was shocked to see the size! I told hubby, if this is the size for a kid, I am very sure the kid is an obes kid! Hahahaha.... Since I didn't expect my 'kiddy's meal' is of that size, I ordered Mushroom soup as well. Wow... they served the mushroom soup like how I had served mine before, in a dug up bread! Only thing, they didn't cheat. They actually served the soup in the bread where else I served the soup in a plastic container, then hid it inside the bread! Hahaha... I love the mushroom soup and also my BIG glass of watermelon juice! Yummyyyyy!!!! But honestly, this time round, we love the food served.....

Enough said, now let's move on to the recipe to share. I had made these savory tartlets for the first time, to fulfill Sal's order. Thanks to Ana for being my talian hayat. And thanks Sal for your continuous support and trust though at times, whatever I said I am able to do, turned the other way round... that will be revealed in my upcoming entry... stay tuned!
