Selamat Hari Raya 2013


As-Salam,

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri
Maaf Zahir & Batin

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri to all my family, friends and to all Muslims too. Today is the fifth day of Syawal and at this very moment updating from the office. This year's celebration of raya was a bit discouraging. I had fun on the first day of raya but had a terrible diarrhoea, flu and swollen eyes at 3.00 am the day after. The swollen eyes, still can't be explained but I reckon it may due to the Rendang Hitam (I may be allergic to the cow's liver and have eaten a lot of it). So, with the slanting eyes, I went to KLCC to meet the girls and watching Percy Jackson : Sea Monster. The movie was kinda good but not as good as I was expected it to be. I'm giving 4/5 stars for the movie. 

          And now I am back at the office struggle finishing the packaging design for the ice cream. TOLONG! As at now, I had only finished with the design and may it turn out great. While surfing the net for some ideas, I did stumble upon some awesome packaging and it was great with modern twist! I had few here for you.

Recipe: Biskut Cornflakes Madu



As Salam,

Selang beberapa hari lagi tiba bulan Syawal. Bagaimana dengan persiapan raya korang tahun ini? Mestilah meriahkan. Memang sudah lama tidak update blog. Memang sibuk sikit sejak kebelakangan ini. Maklumlah, dengan persiapan wedding dan tidak lupa juga projek product development di office. Buat produk masa bulan puasa memang mencabar sebab tak boleh rasa sedap atau tidak makanan yang disediakan.

          Tahun ini, ade juga cuba-cuba buat kuih baru untuk lebaran. Ialah, setiap tahun pun biskut chocolate chips, maka tahun ini bertambah biskut yang ada, contohnya biskut sarang semut, biskut cranberry oat dan biskut cornflakes madu. Semua biskut ini memang firstime buat dan biskut cornflakes madu was a special request from fiancĂ©e.

          Resepi di ambil daripada internet. Saya rasa butter daripada resepi asal perlu dikurangkan daripada 250g kepada 200g mesti lagi sedap rasanya. Saya gunakan Nestle Cornflakes sebab tebal sikit berbanding Kellogs atau yang dijual di kedai bakeri. Moh kite tengok resepinya.



Resepi Biskut Cornflakes Madu
Bahan-bahan:
200g Buttercup
I kotak besar Nestle Cornflakes
1 ½ cup Madu
1 cup Gula Castor

Cara-cara:
1)      Cairkan butter dan madu di dalam kuali dengan api yang perlahan
2)     Setelah cair, masukkan gula dan kacau hingga cair
3)     Semasa masih panas, tuang campuran madu di dalam cornflakes (dalam mangkuk besi / tahan suhu panas) dan kacau sehingga madu menyaluti semua cornflakes.
4)     Masukkan cornflakes bersalut di dalam paper cup
5)     Untuk lebih rangup, bakar cornflakes madu pada suhu 130°C selama 7-10 minit.

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.
