Sunnyside Egg

Haiiii.... I'm back. Was away for a long weekend. We went back to Melaka, our hometown. Yeah you read right, OUR. Both hubby and me are from Melaka Bandaraya Bersejarah. Melaka forever! Hahaha... 

The two of us had a swell time in Melaka. It's like being tourists at our own hometown. We visited so many places and do lots of stuffs together. If only our kids were with us, we would have enjoyed it more. Maybe next time okay kids, though we miss both of you loads... Hmmm can't wait for the next get together, just the four of us..... #feelingexcitedgiler! Hahaha... (semenjak berIG ni, dok main hashtag semanjang!)

Anyway, for this entry, I will just post something VERY SIMPLE YET DELICOUS to make for breakfast. And yes.... nice plate! Hahaha... I get that just too often... 

All you need is two sausages of your choice. I used Ramly Beef Frankfurter. 1 egg and a pinch of chillie flakes (or paprika).

Boil 1 1/2 cup water in a small pot. Thaw the sausages. Cut one side of the sausage. Bend it carefully and join both the sausages using a clean toothpick to create a ring shape. Place in the pot of boiling water for 3 minutes or so. Remove the sausage ring and place on a small saucepan on medium heat. 

Pour 2 teaspoons of olive oil into the ring. Carefully crack an egg into the ring. Sprinkle some chilli flakes or paprika in the middle. Cover the small pan till done.

Ready to serve and enjoy!

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!

POTATO SALAD
Posted by MamaFaMi

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.

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.

1. Wash the fish and pat with kitchen towel. Coat the fish fillets with lemon juice and pepper. Then coat the fillets with flour.

2. Heat the oil.

3. Dip the fish fillets in the egg white and coat with bread crumbs.

4. Fry until golden brown.

5. Drain on kitchen paper and serve with fried chips and coleslow.

Mini Quiche (KOG)

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

Yesterday morning, while waiting for the traffic lights to turn green, I looked at both my thumbs. Gosh... they are different in size! Asked Syahmi if they do look like that or was my eyes deceiving me? Syahmi confirmed the 'tragedy'! I don't really know whether to laugh or to feel sad! I guess a bit of both. My right thumb was slightly swollen actually, that explains the difference in size. After finished doing another batch of 250 pieces, I just put the balance of the dough aside. Rub a bit of Deep Heat onto the thumb and took a nap... er...sejam setengah, boleh panggil nap ke? Hehehe.... Woke up feeling much better...alhamdulillah.......

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

When I saw the photo of the mini quiche and the recipe that KOG had done, I am tempted to try. Why? Because it required such little ingredients and less effort... I like! Hahaha... So, Lin, thank you to you and Ah Poh for the recipe. Allow me to post my version here.

Ayam Panggang Peri-Peri Rosemary

Jumaa Mubaraq to every one...

This morning, I woke up feeling much better than yesterday. So after taking my shower and performed my Fajr namaaz, I started ironing some clothes till it's time to send Syahmi to school. Before sending him, I managed to put the dirty clothes in the washing machine. When I reached home from school, and feeling quite alright, I took the sponge and started washing the car. Finished with that and feeling happy that my car is 'bedak sejuk' free, I went inside to take out the laundry from the washing machine to hang. Done with that, that's when I don't feel good anymore! Oh oh... I overdid myself, have I? Anyway, I am satisfied and happy enough, I was able to do something this morning!

Little experiment in my little kitchen....

Tried this quite sometimes back. So please don't ask for a piece or so because regret to say, it's all gone! Hahaha.... Came across the yummy looking roasted chicken at MaDiHaA's Blog. According to her, she took it from Shima. Thank you to both chefs for the lovely recipe. But why didn't mine look as yummy as MaDiHaA's? Huhuhu....

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon dried rosemary ~ pounded slightly

Coney Island Hotdog Sauce

Assalamualaikum and hello everyone.....
Jumaa mubaraq to all...

Yesterday was a very hectic day for me with such tight schedule. I was on my feet, the moment I opened my eyes in the morning right up till my bedtime! Still, my list-to-do doesn't seem to get shorter! I guess that's my punishment for wasting so much time when I was much younger, during college life to be precise. Wasting time in the sense that I don't benefit time to study hard, instead I just enjoyed my days, cleaning my room, listening to music and those sort of things. I hardly get out of campus area even on weekends. I was in ITM Shah Alam for 2 1/2 years and the number of times I went outing with friends, if I am not mistaken, was less than 3 times, that is excluding the trips to the bus station in Klang, to catch a bus back to Malacca. I am a homely kind of girl... and still am, if given a choice! *wink*

And yesterday, managed to prepare the brownies ordered by Yan and posted to her before 3 pm., before the collection time of Poslaju. Hope the brownies will reach her the way I had sent them! Thanks Yan. Pleasure doing business with you. I'll be right here waiting for the feedback. Meantime, I hope you'll enjoy those browmies as much as I had enjoyed baking them for you.

Around 3pm, dropped the kids to the tuition place and off to Selangor Specialist Hospital to get my first Cervarix dose since my papsmear result is clear. Alhamdulillah. Reached home around 5.30pm, managed to sweep the house and out again, to fetch the kids home. After Maghrib, out to send Syahmi to his tuition place and fetch him around 9.30pm. At home, the big pile of laundry was waiting to be folded! Endless endless.....but yeah... I'm happy... and that's what counts....

Anyway, let me leave you now with this new recipe that I've tried last week for Syahmi's lunch. Dug the recipe from Allrecipes. Thanks to Joan for sharing the recipe with us and I'll repost the recipe here, the way I had done it.

CONEY ISLAND HOTDOG SAUCE

2. Add in chillie paste.
3. Add minced meat and tomatoes. Cook until the meat changes color.
4. Stir in chopped onion.
3. Stir in salt and black pepper. Add water to cover, and simmer until water is absorbed, stirring frequently, 10 to 15 minutes.

Till we meet again, take care and have a nice day!

Pizza Dough (Stephen Carroll)

Another pizza recipe that I've tried from Allrecipes with a good feedback from Syahmi. Thank you.

PIZZA DOUGH
Source : Stephen Carroll of Allrecipes

Ingredients :

7 g active dry yeast
10 g white sugar
590 ml warm water (110 degrees F)
30 ml olive oil
20 g salt
60 g whole wheat flour
755 g bread flour

Method :

1. In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in the warm water. Let sit until creamy; about 10 minutes.
2. Stir the olive oil, whole wheat flour, salt and 4 cups of the bread flour into the yeast mixture. Mix in the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring well after each addition. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Lightly oil a large mixing bowl, place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and put in a warm place to rise until doubled in volume; about 1 hour.
3. Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into three equal pieces and form into rounds. Cover the rounds and let them rest for about 10 minutes. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
4. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough into the desired shape, cover it with your favorite toppings and bake at 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) for about 20 minutes or until the crust and cheese are golden brown.

Note :

1. I used my breadmachine to do the kneading right up to proving. The method is the same as all the bread/buns/rolls that I've made before.
2. For the sauce, I used this recipe but I omit the paprika and hotdog. Instead, I used the sliced beef peperoni that I bought from the Pasar Tani near my house. If I am not mistaken, it's Prima brand.

Have a nice day!
