Roti Naik Improvised

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

Last Saturday night, I received a text message on my handphone from Sis Lily Haslina. That time I was fast asleep. I didn't even hear the message came in. I guess I was really tired after a very hectic and busy week. It was at 4 am in the morning that I read the message. Of course I didn't reply immediately! Haha... Sis Lily had told me about the exciting news. Well, exciting to me but maybe not to others. How can I not be excited when the photos that I took myself of my own cooking is published in the magazine. To be precise, Jelita, February 2011. Thank you sis Lily for making all these a reality and I will cheerish this forever......



I can still remember the very first time I saw my food photo in the internet. It was a long time ago when I was still in Malawi. I've tried a bread recipe texted by my sister. And it so happens, the bread turned out good. And my photo, well, at that time, I guess was just so lovely to my eyes! I then showed it to Kak Liza. She had asked my permission to share the photo in Forum Cari. I was reluctant at first but after being persuaded, I finally agreed. And that's the beginning of me being known as MAMAFAMI. When Kak Liza told me that she had posted my bread photo in the Forum, I was soooooo excited. Not only me, but the whole family was excited. First time seeing your own production in the cyberworld! Gosh, that excitement lasted quite a long time! Every morning, I will click on that particular page, just to admire my own photo... hahahahaha... come to think of it, how silly can a person be huh? But yeah, that's me... I am proud of my own work!

T.H.E R.E.C.I.P.E

Remember the Roti Naik that I did before? The one of Puan Asmahan Hanim's recipe. The recipe can be found here'Well, like I said, the texture was lovely, infact everything about the recipe is lovely except for the ghee which is not really to my favour.

So I said to myself, I am going to try baking this buns again and will adjust the recipe to suit my taste. Before trying the new version, I had done a bit of research. I had asked my relative and a Johorean friend, how exactly this Roti Naik Johor supposed to taste like. Thanks to Kak Karimah and Haslinda for helping me out. So, this is what I came out with. And I am very happy with the result.....

Apple Roll Bun

When I saw Mat's Apple Roll Bun, I was so excited to try out the recipe. Mmmm come to think of it, everytime I see whatever Mat puts up on his blog, I feel like trying out the recipe. Hahaha, so no big deal huh? Anyway, was pretty excited with this one because it's BREAD. And whoever knows MamaFaMi will know that she's a breadaholic!

But time does not permit me to carry out this experiment sooner. It's only today that I managed to do it and alhamdulillah it turned out good. Infact, YUMMILICIOUS should be more appropriate to describe the bun. It's just lovely. My mom just couldn't wait to get her hands on the buns. She's normally a very patience person. She'll wait till I'm done photographing the food and serve to her. But today, she came by my 'photography port' and took one! After I am done taking the photos, she came again for her second helping. That's impressive enough. And at night, I told her that she's welcome to have more if she wants as I am not giving the buns to anyone and guess what, she took another one, to my surprise!

When hubby got back from work, I served him the buns. Lately he's not taking heavy dinner and I think I am following his footsteps. Normally hubby will only taste a bit of the buns that I made, but today, he ate two!

As for Miss Fatin, she's a bread person as well. Remark from her... mom, it's lovely.... I rest my case!

Thank you so much to Mat for coming up with this lovely recipe. Allow me to copy and paste your recipe (Malay version) here for the reading pleasure of my visitors. The English version was how I had done mine. Enjoy!

Roti Naik

I am going nuts over bread. I just can't resist baking bread, whenever I saw someone posting photos of bread! Gosh.... I need to get help now! Hahaha... I am breadaholic! Hahaha.... is there any such word as that! Well, as long as it's not against the law, I think the police won't bother to come and get me!

Anyway, yesterday I had promised to share this newly tested recipe. Made it yesterday for my brother to bring home. Whenever my brother said he's coming, that was like my golden opportunity to try out whatever recipe that I had in mind. My nieces and nephew good eaters, unlike my kids, slightly choosey. But now they are much better compared to before. So yesterday, I was in the kitchen very early. Made for them a chiffon cake, bread and also serimuka. Wanted to bake more, but ran out of time!

Okay, back to the bread story... when I came across Nana's bread photo in her facebook wall, I had asked for the recipe which she had kindly tag me in her notes. And I said to myself, I must give it a try one day and that day was yesterday. Well, my honest review of this bread, it would be the loveliest, if I had omitted the ghee. To me and also to those whom I had given the buns to taste, had the same opinion that the ghee gave a funny taste to it. But the texture is so soft and lovely. InsyaAllah I will try again this recipe without the ghee and see how it goes. My heartiest thanks to Puan Asmahan Hanim and Puan Nana Samat for sharing this recipe with us... Allow me to post it here for many others to try. Whatever I've posted in English was how I had made the bread. The original recipe is the one in Bahasa Malaysia... May Allah bless you both....

Osaka Soft Rolls

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

Had a really productive day yesterday.
Phew what a relief. Finally I managed to say the above phrase after having trouble finding the rightful word. What is it so difficult to think of PRODUCTIVE but that's what I had been facing for quite a while. It feels like the word is just at the tip of my lips, but it just won't come out! I was in agony! Yesterday must be my lucky day or maybe I was behaving well, the word just came across my mind without me, having to crack my head to think of it, like the other days!

Right, back to my productive day yesterday, I don't really know what triggered me to have so much energy to do so many things. Firstly, I planned to sweep just the stairs and downstairs, but ended up sweeping the whole house. Went in the kitchen to prepare breakfast. Hubby had requested for Jemput-jemput Ikan Bilis but I ended up preparing these...


After clearing the breakfast table, I sat down to cover Syahmi's school books. Haven't had enough with covering Syahmi's books, I covered my books that were nearby. Done with that, went to the kitchen and started preparing lunch. Cooked sardine and this.....


The spagetti is made of whatever's available in the freezer and I must say, it's just lovely, at least to my taste buds.

We actually skipped lunch. Only Syahmi ate his since he was hungry after coming home from school. And for tea time, I fried these....


When the family is busy munching away their cute keropok lekor, I was still in the kitchen, doing two experiments which I will reveal one soon after this. Stay tuned!

French Beans and Tempe

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

This morning, when I had just finished eating breakfast, I said to myself, let me just hang the clothes out to dry after hearing the washing machine's indicator let out the beeping sound.
* Once done with the clothes, I saw a few newspapers fell off the rack and started to tidy them.
** When I was tidying up the newspapers, I saw the shoe racks that need to be sorted out. Went in the kitchen, took the garbage bag and start sorting out the shoes.
*** While doing that, I saw the floor needs sweeping. Done with the shoes, I grabbed the broom and started sweeping.
**** While sweeping, I heard the 'Suratkhabar lama (Old newspaper) van' coming towards my direction. Waved at the sweet Chinese lady and she came in with her trolly. I asked her to empty the newpapers on the rack, while I rushed upstairs to take a big garbage bag full of old excercise books and papers. Passed that to her and went upstairs to get the box full of old unwanted books. Hand them over to the lady and in return, I was given RM4.00. That was not as important as having an empty rack and a house with less unwanted stuffs inside! Hahaha...
***** When she left, I continued sweeping the floor and then I swept the lawn as well. At the same time, chatting with Kak Ana and did some gardening too.....

And my actual intention is just to hang the clothes out to dry!!!

Oh, she went Cuti-cuti Malaysia!
Where to?
To find out more, please go here

Here's wishing all of you a very HAPPY NEW YEAR 2011.

T.H.E R.E.C.I.P.E

This morning, I don't really know what to prepare for breakfast. What's more, my mood is still not switched to 'back to reality' mode, so it makes thinking, slightly harder! Hahaha... I had surfed the internet for club sandwich recipe, but wasn't in the mood to try it out, at least not for today's breakfast. So I went into the kitchen, grab myself a bowl and took out the flour. Added this and that and wallah, this was what we had for breakfast! Alhamdulillah.....

Sorry all, there's no particular measurement as I just chuck everything inside.

When it's hot enough, pour 2 ladles of mixture into the pan and spread evenly. Flip over after 3 minutes. Serve with Sambal Ikan Bilis
