Potato Salad

Everytime someone showed me the photo of food that they ate, either they bought it from the cafe or cooked themselves, I felt like cooking it too. But I always feel that way WHEN I LOOKED at the photos. After 10 minutes, I forgot about it totally. Hahaha... But there is one thing that I can't get it out of my system... Potato Salad that Puan Hazlinda showed me once. Yes I know, it is very simple to prepare, yet it took me quite a while.. and I repeat... QUITE A WHILE for me to prepare it myself. But finally I did it...better late than never! So here is my so called potato salad... simple to make yet yummy for my tummy... and ohh... this was how I prepared it okay. So try if you dare at your own risk!

Ingredients :

3 medium potatoes
2 hard boiled eggs
mayonaise
chinese celery (daun saderi) - chopped finely
blackpepper
a dash of olive oil

Method :

1. Clean the potatoes, cut into big cubes. Place in a pot of water and add salt to taste. Boil till soft and remove from heat. Leave to cool.
2. Cut the hard boiled eggs into big chuncks.
3. Into the potatoes, add enough mayonaise. Stir to mix.
4. Add in the eggs and stir gently to mix.
5. Add in a dash of olive oil, chopped chinese celery and a few dashes of blackpepper. Stir gently.
6. Ready to serve.



And I had this with the potato salad... But please don't ask me the recipe. I fried the ready made chicken chop, Ayamadu brand and for the blackpepper sauce, I just mix the blackpepper sauce powder with water and add some sliced mushrooms to it. Wallahhhh......

Potato Donuts

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

Last weekend we went to see our son at his college. Oh how I miss that boy so much and still do. :(( I was excited when hubby told me the plan to visit our son that weekend. I whatsapp-ed him and asked what he would like me to bring. His usual request would be PUFFS. I asked him, anything else? And he said he wanted DONUTS with chocolate coating. "I miss your donuts ma", he said. Huhuhu.... and I miss you boy...

Thank you Puan Ash Fiza of Buku Resepi for sharing this recipe with us.

Ingredients :

3 medium sized potatoes
3 cups flour
1 tablespoon margarine (I used Planta)
2 tablespoons condensed milk
6g dried instant yeast (I used Mauripan)
water if necessary

Note to myself : Next time round, I think I will add 1 1/2 tablespoons of castor sugar to the recipe.

Method :

1. Peel the potatoes skin. Cut into big cubes and wash. Place in a bowl with enough water and boil till soft. Remove from heat and mash the potatoes. Keep aside.
2. In a mixing bowl, add flour, condensed milk, yeast and the mashed potato.
3. Turn on the mixer and knead till a soft and shiny dough is formed. Add water if needed.
4. Make into a big ball. Cover the bowl with cling film and let dough rise till double the size.
5. Roll the dough to 1/2 inch thick. Cut using a donut cutter and arrange on a tray lined with a plastic sheet. Rest for about 10 to 15 minutes.
6. Heat oil in a wok. Fry the donuts till golden brown. Remove the donuts onto a bowl lined with paper towel.
7. Coat the donuts with castor sugar or melted cooking chocolate.
8. Ready to serve and enjoy!



Have a nice day!

Thank you....

Assalamualaikum to all...

My first entry for March 2014. Such a long break. Reason? Well, no particular reason actually, just been busy and lazy at the same time. Plus with the water cut in Selangor at the moment, makes me even lazier to try things in the kitchen. Not to say that if there is water at home, I will be otherwise! Hahaha...

Anyway, for this entry, I won't be putting up any recipes though I have quite a few waiting in line to be posted. This entry is mainly to thank Miss Norashikin Md Nor from Jelita Magazine, March 2014 edition for featuring my humble blog in their ENAK TAK TERKATA section.



I was surprised to know MamaFaMi's Spice n Splendour appeared in the magazine when first informed by Ummi Kuantan via Whatsapp. Then when I checked the comments in my Mushroom and Sausage Omelette entry, I came upon a comment by Marsita Yahya stating the same matter. Thank you to both of you for letting me know. And my thanks goes to Fadzlina Kamis for buying me the magazine. Appreciate all of you very much.

My blog was featured together with Marsita's blog MINT Homemade and also Muhammad Syafiq's blog Syapex and I felt tiny when lined together with them. Check their blogs and you will know what I mean!



Miss Norashikin wrote..."paparan gambar besar dah jelas, cukup untuk menjamu mata pembaca blog masak ini". To be honest, I was actually "menjamu" my own eyes with those large sized photos. I just like to see the photos that I took and posted. Even though they are not as lovely as other peoples' photo, but I am proud of what I managed to do.. hahaha...There goes my confession! sangat poyo kan saya ini!!!

And here too, I would like to appologise to other editors from magazines and papers, if I have not replied to your emails asking if I would like to be featured in your magazines and papers. To be frank, I felt really honoured to get those invitations. The feeling is just great!! But there are some requirements from your part that I could not fulfil and I am very bad at turning down good opportunities like these. What's more, I don't really know how to put it in words..hence the silence. I really hope you guys will understand... My sincere apologies......
