Farewell Party at Pakistani Cuisine - Asif Beriani Restaurant

Hello,

Yesterday is the last working day for Mansor at our department. Sedih? Sedih tak? Sikit je. Mansor, lepas pindah tempat kerja baru ini, saya rasa semakin berasap la Innova kan. Maklumlah yang lain semua memang heavy smoker. OWH MY GOODNESS! Sentap! Perasaannya lebih teruk daripada musim jerebu di luar tatkala ini. Harap tidak la saya terpingsan-pingsan nanti. Huhu.

          Kami satu department semalam feeling-feeling sambut farewell Mansor dan Ayu di Restoran Beriani Asif. Yup, this is my first time being there. I think it is not that far from the office. About 15 minute by walking. If there were no guidance from En. Sobri or En. Mohd Noor, I am sure we could not find the place. 

At the entrance.

Taking pictures while waiting the meal. Highlights: I do think Kak Emy (in red blouse) looks slimmer from the last meeting. 

          The meal was absolutely remarkable. It is delicious and during the lunch period it is packs with people. I manage to take some picture of the food. Firstly, I tried their mango lassi and it was decious as if I am eating a fresh mango. Not kidding there. Then came the beriani rice made from 100% basmathi rice which is claimed to be good for your health has a really fluffy texture! Suka suka suka! The side dishes was even tastier - Chicken Masala, Lamb Shank, Grilled Lamb and Cucumber Salad. I didn't taste the chicken Masala. But the lamb shank was superb. The lamb was cooked perfectly and so tender! The grilled lamb was good too!

The food from the restaurant! Looks yummy!

Star of the day. I'm wishing all the best for both of them. May new place will gives them more joy and happiness!

My First Sewing Machine!

Salam all,

Yeay! Finally I got my first ever sewing machine! Yohho. Bulan ini memang budget sempit sangat sebab renew insurance kereta. Owh my! Memang budget habisss bulan ini. Tapi sebab dah tunggu lama berkehendakkan mesin jahit, ku pejamkan sahaja mataku ini.

          Dua bulan lepas, lelah cari mesin jahit murah (untuk budget bawah RM200) tetapi hasil adalah begitu menghampakan. Yang jumpa pun jenama Brothers yang harganya lebih RM700 dan display unit sahaja yang tinggal. Memang T.I.D.A.K lah saya nak membelinya. Semalam Maisara (kawan se-office) membawa khabaran gembira. Lazada ada promosi murah untuk Global Sewing Machine. Jadi, saya pun belilah satu.

a) Global Sewing Machine GSM-505 (Klik sini untuk ke promosi Lazada)

b) Global Sewing Machine GSM-338 (Klik sini untuk ke promosi Lazada)

c) Global Sewing Machine GL-SM2010  (Klik sini untuk ke promosi Lazada)

          Saya beli  Global Sewing Machine GSM-505 sebab harganya RM 179.00 masih dalam julat budget dan ade 8 jenis pattern jahitan. Mamang cepat servis daripada Lazada. Puas hati. Sebab dalam 24 jam saya dah dapat barang yang dibeli. Kagum sekejab. Semalam order, ini hari sudah sampai. Bila buka pakage, memang kenit saja mesin jahit tu. Ringan. Harap-harap tahan lama dengan keganasan saya. Siap boleh pakai bateri. Memang best! Jahitan pun boleh tahan kemas. Yang paling penting warranty selama SETAHUN dan kalau tidak puas hati dengan product boleh pulangkan ke Lazada dalam masa 14 hari.

          

          Kepada kawan-kawan yang mahukan mesin jahit yang simple (meaning bukan untuk kerja menjahit heavy duty) bolehlah singgah membeli-belah kat Lazada. Poromosi masih lagi berjalan sekrang ini. Selamat membeli-belah kawan-kawan.

Recipe: Apricot Cheesecake

Salam,

It has been a long time I didn't post anything referring to any new recipe. Honestly I am being too lazy to cook something rice. Since gaining few kilos of fats, I am totally need to balanced up my diet and that is why the therm of cooking laziness took place. Because of the stamped of expiry date on the food label horrors me bit and some fast action needed to prevent any food wastage. At the time I have cream cheese, biscuits and dry apricots to work with. Yes, I think of cheesecake is the best way! Yums~

A slice of apricot cheesecake

          Pardon me people. This is my first attempt of making apricot cheesecake. It looks nice but it does not taste as sweet as it looks. For someone with sweet tooth, I recommend to glaze the cake with more or just sweetened the glaze a little more. Enjoy the recipe and I am grateful if you have any comments to improve this recipe. Thank you in advance.
