Jom perkena mee rebus!

After a long hard day working at the trial plot in MARDI...I'm proudly announce it is now lunch time!
 Today I was given a chance to choose the eating place! Hooray!
I'm thinking to have something light and no-no rice please! I had plenty of them and feels fat enough.
There was a nice place that I haven't yet visit since last time in 2010 with my lab's colleague. 
They said the place was quite famous and it was true indeed because served you with delicious yet a simple meal. 
Welcome to  Mee Rebus Mak Long!
Of course the house specialty was mee rebus. The plain mee rebus cost you for only RM3.50 and the special mee rebus (you can have it with beefs prawns or chickens) for only RM 4.50. Amazingly cheap! It was a simple detection on how to know to food was indeed good when Prof Albert is around. just asked him aout the food and if he answer, "ohh, I think the food is very nice, it wasn't spicy and I like it." This means that the food was great!
Besides mee rebus, you can have chicken rice and it was a nice dish also. Smelled of homemade cooking really rocks your appetite especially when you are really far away form home. 

 So, kawan-kawan, jangan lupa singgah na kalau ke Kepala Batas. Pi pekena mee rebus!

I'm having Mee Rebus Special with Beefs 

Prof Albert is excited - I can it from here!
Tapai Pulut - as appetizer :)

Recipe: Tira Miss U (Tiramisu)

First attempt to make this yummy-licoius Tiramissu as per requested by my fiancee. But I didn't make it for him yet. This is for Kak Izan last birthday small celebration at the Lab. At first, I thought it was difficult to make tiramisu. But say no more! It was so easy even if the person who don't know how to cook can do it! No need an oven for baking, only a fridge will do! In my point of view, mascarpone cheese was seriously damn expensive. It is about RM18.00 per pack (if I'm not mistaken by the figure). So, decided to use only cream cheese and further more it was easy to find it here. Okey, let us view the recipe!

    Keep on Rocking!

    The birthday cake.
     
              As promised, yesterday all of us had such a great time celebrating Dr Kharidah's birthday! Although, it doesn't happen as planned but I was still a big surprise to her. Forget me not to tell you the deli-cious-ness of the foods especially the Butterscotch Cake from the Secret Recipe. It was not too sweet and very creamy! 

              It was hard to take someone picture while they are presenting their thoughtful speeches. It turns out I have plenty of Dr Kharidah's picture and with her face expression too. I felt lucky at this moment while writing this. Hahaha.

    Food that are served: Triffle (made by Kak Puteri), Satay UK, Seafood Olio Spaghetti (Made by Hanis)
    and Fruit Coacktail Jelly (Made by Shafura)

    Recipe: Popia Goreng




    For almost a week now that I am so craving to eat Fried Popia. But, I don't want to just buy them from the Ramadhan Bazaar. You know how they sometimes taste awful  and regret from buying them after that. You are considered yourself lucky if you find a really good Fried Popia and lest not forget the cheap one.

              I remember on the second day of Ramadhan I managed to get some of the food at the Wangsa Maju Ramadhan Bazaar near to the LRT station. I saw Popia Basah there and asked the seller, "Abang, ni berape harganya?". He answer, "Dua ringgit 4 biji dik." With the look on my face and of course some chit chat with myself, "Popia kecik kurus camni dua ringgit dapat 4? Mahal kot."...But I said to the seller, "Okey la bang, kasik dua ringgit". Hahaha, I still bought them although it was thin enough. Kempunan punya pasal. The moral is, Fried Popia or Popia Basah at the Night Market on Wednesday near my house was still the best so far! Fat, spicy and the happy thing was you can get 5 popia for RM2.00.

            This is what had happen yesterday. I made my own popia! Happy! Furthermore I was exited to shared the recipe too because it was so easy to make. Managed to do this after I arrived from the working place all away from Serdang (Imagine the jams!Penat!). Alhamdulillah, this is our Juadah berbuka puasa for yesterday.

    My Round Tummy



    OK....OK now...I know you saw it but please don't be panic~
    Well to begin with I almost did it everyday. Sit up for more than 20 reps. I just can't believe it didn't work and the fellow tummy down there is getting bigger and harden it seems. I really wish it will turn out with rock of the "six pack'. Maybe it my sweetest dreams perhaps.

               Let us see what might gone wrong...today, I had a pretty good break first. It was nasi lemak with sambal sardine and some quail eggs (there is a lot of cholesterol there!OMG!). as for lunch I only ate that sweet Air Batu Campur or known as the ABC (this might not hurt I guess). But seriously it has been a few weeks that I have eaten my break first at Mamak Stall for their sweet and savory Roti Boom...haha...that why you have grown my little fellow tummy~

    The last time my BF said, "Daling you have to cut from eating to much food with oil in it.."
    But how can I forget the tenderness in the inside and the crispiness of the crust of the roti boom....hukhuk~

    And Who can resist this yummy thing?
