What's your breakfast dear friends?

The Yummy Cencalu

We call this 'cencalu' here....I know the Malaysians too love to eat it.

My way of enjoying the cencalu....I mix with the sliced shallots, chopped green big chillies, lime juice and sliced bunga kantan...(^,^)... sedappppppp!

Belimbing Buluh & Prawns

Are you familiar with these fruits? They are locally grown here....actually there are two types of these fruits....yellow and green. The scientific name is Averrhoa belimbi linn but we often call these fruits 'belimbing buluh'.

My parents have these two kinds of these fruits. Both trees bears fruits continuously throughout the year. There are many health benefits of these fruits *ask Mr Goole to help find their benefits* ...(^-^)...

What I like to do to these fruits....I cooked them following my mom's style....

....pan-fry them with little maize oil, prawns, small chillies, garlics and shallots.....yummylicious!

The Exotic Moringa Oleifera

I think this such trees are coming to their extinction. I bought these moringa pods at one of the supermarkets here and the price was rather expensive too. When I browsed through the internet...there are actually countries in some parts of the world are planting these trees as they are very beneficial to our health in deed...(*,*)...

It has been ages that I did not cook these vegies and once I got them....I cooked the way my mom cooked when we were very little. I could still remember how we loved to savour these exotic vegies. I cooked the cut pods in curry with some prawns.

We love the cookies....

This is one of our holiday activities with the kids....to get rid of boredom....(^_^)....


We baked some cookies.....and the result was FANTASTIC!

I got the recipe from NUR , so if you feel like baking some cookies....
have a try....satisfaction-guaranteed!

Note : Nur, thank you very much yea *hugs*

The Must-Try Recipe...

I have tried this recipe shared by this lovely and creative mommy . The little helper was with me too.....(^;^)....

I love the rich chocolaty taste....the soft texture....and most of all.....it was very easy to make! The taste is almost like brownies but the different is that , this cake is steamed but not oven-baked. I might one day will innovate the recipe by adding some peanuts or almonds and cheese cream.

Thank you Sarah's Mommy for sharing this fabulous recipe (^;*).

If you guys wanna try out this recipe please check out the recipe HERE...all the best!

It's Pizza Time!

Habibati helped me out in the kitchen to make a pizza. I only used a pizza base that I bought from a supermarket.

There it went into the oven for 15 minutes only.

Habibati and Habibi cut the pizza together.

Our girl loves pizza very much but not our Habibi. He only prefers to eat the crust only...LOL

My Very Own Apple Crumbles

This was my very first attempt to make the apple crumbles as our dessert for iftar. I noticed there were so many demonstrations that we could follow from YT. For my version...I had to modify the recipe since I only had 2 red apples in the fridge! The real recipe was using the green apples.
First, I sauteed the 2 red apples cubes with a cinnamon stick and 2 spoons of brown sugar.

1/4 of the block butter, 3 cups of Hong Kong flour and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.

I rubbed the butter into the flour and the ground cinnamon mixture until it resembled breadcrumbs.

Then I placed the apple cubes as the basic layer. I had to put in some raisins because the apples cubes could not cover the whole casserole..(@.@)..after that the crumble layer. (I should have used 3-4 apples)


Pop it into the oven for about 30 minutes or until golden brown. Trust me...while this fellow was in the oven...the whole kitchen smelt like cinnamon...soooo heavenly!

Then when the top layer looked a bit golden brown...I took it out and sprinkle some brown sugar...

......until it looked like this after 5 minutes.

Lastly...enjoying the apple crumbles with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and Hershey's choc sauce.

Mee Rebus Kak Lin

The menu for our iftar yesterday..inspired by Kak Lin.

Should you need the recipe...please click here ...(^^,)...
I did modify the recipe...I used potatoes instead of sweet potatoes thus the colour of the thick gravy is lighter than the original recipe. However, the taste was still superb! Thank you Kak Lin.

All Time Fav...

Some people call this 'jemput pisang' & 'cekodok pisang'...but no matter what the names are...it remains very popular especially when we have them for the afternoon tea. I made this traditional kueh according to my taste without any specific measurement. I add the flour, milk powder, water, a pinch of salt and of course the over-ripe bananas! One thing to remember.....enjoy this kueh while they are still warm....but not while they are hot...or you will burn your tongue! (';^)

Oh ya...are you familiar with this traditional kueh too?

It's called 'kueh lidah' but this one is very different for the normal kueh lidah. Innovatively, each one is covered with cocoa powder. I love the taste....not very sweet. Too bad...I can't find this here...it is coming all the way form Sabah, Malaysia. So...I keep the box and will sure buy some when we go to Sabah this December, Insya Allah.

CathJ's Recipe

This is Cathj 's recipe that I tried few weeks ago.....due to the hectic timetable I only have time to share this one now.

My comment ~ Fabulous! We only had only one dish of this with the rice for our dinner....it's a balanced recipe...we need no side dish anymore! (^^,) Thank dear CathJ for sharing this healthy recipe....
