Birthday treats at Ben's KLCC

It has a lovely ambiance and sometimes I would like to have the same interior designs for my future house (just an angan-angan). One day I said to my fiance' that the place was awesome and proposed that maybe both of us can dine there together. As time goes by, after the his sulking face towards my forgetfulness finally I managed to bring him to the Ben's located at Suria KLCC. It was his first time there and he loves the place too!

Cozy ambiance (from Isaactan.net)

          Since he was always away from me and once in a blue moon seeing around, to have a lunch with him is a bless. Especially if my tummy was full, he was there for me to eat them all. Love love love! Untung ade bakal suami begini. Say no to food wasting. So, for his birthday lunch treats, we are having Crabmeat Linguine Puttanesca and Macaroni Cheese. Meanwhile for dessert we have this lovely Macadamia CheeseCake Sundae. Actually, I would like to have the pavlova...but no thanks because the serving for the crabmeat linguine was really alot!

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.

Happy Birthday Kak Yati!

On 22.06.2012, I like to wish Happy Birthday to Nor Haryati Ali a.k.a Kak Ti. May Allah bless you always! Always happy and will be loved by others around you.

          Specially for her, I bake a new cake that I have modified and Alhamdulillah They said it taste great! Not too sweet as for my previous recipes. I am glad that she love the cake.Phew~ I know her favorite color was pink, and I made a Custard Layered Cake with bits of Chocolate Chips. Looks very delicious!

Birthday girl cutting the cake :)

          So, this time I like to share with you guys the recipe. It was simple and surely you can do it too. The important tip for this recipe is to layer the cake white the custard is still hot. Before pouring the custard, grease your 8 inch spring form pan with butter so that the cake will came out easily and will not stick to the pan. To ensure the is no bubble trapped in the custard, you have to press the cake a little bit to the custard. Good luck!

On 4th Feb 2012, I woke up and look myself in the mirror. Look at myself in every inch and every bits of it. Checking for any sign of wrinkles. Thank goodness there is none of it. But to start counting on pimples that grew overnight, is not a happy moments to start a new day.

          The beginning of twenty eight. I am proud of it and Alhamdulillah I am still alive and be able to write again and again. Happy Birthday to me! Things that I had hoped for this year are may there are more happiness, love and lots of surprises! To those who wished and sang a birthday song, thank you so much and I really appreciate it so much! What a memorable year! To dear friends, Zaidiana and Pija, thanks for the chocolate treats although seriously my stomach was pretty full by the Arabian food. Hey, on your birthday next month let us have a road trip then. Jom!

Treat from the girls!

          The things I might not forget is to have a special gift from someone special. Thank you dear for the flower and the chocolate and the thought although you are far away. While writing this, I definitely sure that I missed you so much, but too ego to tell it directly to you.   

Hope this day is as special as you are
Count your life by smiles, not tears
Count your age by friends, not years.
Happy birthday!

Birthday Cake...Missing!

Funny story for this month of October peps... A friend of mine was baking a nice chocolate cake for one of our colleague who is having her 22nd birthday but she is on leave for 2 days because of the high fever (poor girl)... So, my friend here put in the chocolate cake in the fridge before the poor girl came to work...and one fine morning :

                    Colleague : 
                    Open up the fridge  and took out the cake box...
                    "Eh, apesal cam ringan je bekas kek ni? 

                           (Translation : Eh, why is the cake box was so light?)"

                    Then she open up the box and with shocking voice...
                    "Siape pulak yang makan kek ni?" 

                    (Translation: Who the hell ate this cake??!!)

                    Birthday Girl : 
                    Thank goodness she doesn't end up crying....

Are you interested to know how much left of the cake? Even the Angry Bird will be angrier for these matters..

Poor Birthday Girl.....not only she feeling unwell and plus the chocolate cake too was eaten by somebody else which is UNKNOWN...hahaha...and this is not the first time since my food also has been missing in action too last year. 

PS: Kak Ana nanti boleh buat lagi okey sebab memang sangat sedap lah~

The lesson is - Do not ate without permission, maybe someone will be sad because of your action...
