Strawberry Cheesecake




It has been a while I didn't bake cheese cake due to the unhealthy oven. The oven has been coughing smokes and lucky it doesn't went KABOOOM!!! Phew~ I am still alive!!!..huhu
The great thing is finally I found the 7 inch cake tin. I felt really happy to have it at first but after baking the cheesecake, the result, emm wasn't that great. Such a disappointed feeling. The cheesecake was a bit soggy in the middle. Kesian bile tengok cheesecake tu. I think to overcome this problem is just stick to the 8 inch pan or   bake for an hour at 150˚C and let the cake settle down in the oven for 30 minutes.


In 7 inch tin - Petite and look yummy!

Special Chicken Chop




While in Penang, I have decided to drag my BF to roam around and find something interesting. He showed me the Penang Port which I found quite beautiful at night. We went further up north looking for food.

          Then I saw this glittery and a really nice decorated restaurant just besides the main road. There we decided to have Lamb Chops, Mixed Grilled, Mee Gulung (the waiter told it was the restaurant's special dish), Lime with Asam Boi and Soursop drinks, although earlier we are actually have eaten Glutinous Rice with Mango and Laksa. Probably I feel a bit greedy at that time. Lol! The portion of the food was BIG and can be considered as CHEAP.. The taste for me is good and nice suitable with the price. Total price of the dishes are below RM50.00! HAPPY!

So, guys don't forget to check out this place!

Balik Kampung and My Babies!




I really have a tough weekend this time. After having a great escape to my hometown in Bagan Serai and let us not to forget the experience of the earthquake about 8.7 magnitude hits near Aceh. When the quake occur, I was having a conversation with the aunties, Mom, Opah and my brother. Suddenly, I felt dizzy and I look at my brother with a curious look. He looks suspiciously back at me and spilled out from my mouth, "Gempa ke?". Then everyone with a bit panicked and said, "Haah la, ingat ke pening-pening. Tengok, frame gambar goyang. Jom-jom kluar". We are all went out from the house and the neighbors too. Thank goodness everyone was safe.

Indeed an old house.
          We went back to KL on Friday and have to travel back to the north on Sunday! Phew, I feel exhausted, serious! I arrived at 9.30pm and preparing to visit my babies in MARDI Seberang Prai. Not only that, this time I am prepared with the SPF50++ to keep myself from being burned to the crust by the hot sun! hehe. The visit and my babies are doing fine. The snails are starving to death and they did not dare to eat my babies! The project, turn out well. I am happy!

My babies - They have grown well
          On the way home, we managed stop at one of a Kok Joon Tailor Shop at Jalan Machang Bubok, Bukit Mertajam. My boss did  promoted this place for quite sometimes and he did his shopping there Afterwards, we went to his hometown in Selama. I reached home last night at 12.00am and now feel terribly exhausted and sleepy too. I am working but the brain is somewhere else. Duh~
