Fish and Chips

T.H.E R.A.M.B.L.I.N.G.S

Alhamdulillah... I am still breathing, still standing and mental wise, still sound. Hahaha... It was just too hectic for me these past few days. With visitors, wedding invitation,orders to fulfill and lots more. The peak was last Sunday. I really forced myself to the max. At one time, I felt like I just can't go on because my patience was wearing thin, but Alhamdulillah with Allah's help, I managed.

To all bakers out there, I salute you! It takes such strong will power, patience and talent to be a good baker. And trust me, I am not in that category! I am not being humble but I am talking about reality. I only had to do a set of 25 pieces cupcakes. It was just that the fondant went soft in my hands (yeah right... I'm HOT bebehhhh... ahaks!!!) instead of hardening. That makes the cutting of fondant alphabets is near to impossible as it kept sticking to the cutters. Thank God I still have patience or otherwise, God knows what will happen to the cutters! Hahaha.... So yes, no thank you to owning a bakery shop! Rest my case! Haha...

Anyway, here are the few things that I had made these couple of days. Thank you Nora and Midah for trusting in me with your orders. I just hope that both of you are satisfied....

One fine morning, I went to the Pasar Tani near our house with my dear hubby. When we reached the stall selling all kinds of frozen stuffs like beef polony (Pizza Hut), 1901 sausages, frozen lasagne (Pizza Hut), Turkey slice, white sauce, blackpepper sauce and many many others, hubby was extra interested in the latest product by them, which is Talapia fillets. With the fillets, I've tried Kak Liza's recipe from her 1Hari 1Resipi book. She had used the spiced flour to coat the fish. In my second attempt, I had used just the plain flour. My family prefers the one with the plain flour. I will post both recipes. The one posted in English is my version.
