Sangkaya with ingredients from home

Hey. Mon, 4th May 2020 Woke up this morning and been craving for Sangkaya by Boat Noodle. I looked up for the recipe and the recipe looks simple and something that I'm confident with. I asked my mother whether she felt like eating it and showed the photo. Well, she approved! I took the pandan leaves with my mom's company because I don't know much about it. Hee. Yep, another leaves that we have in the backyard. I'm so thankful for having it at home or else I need to go and buy them (what a hassle). The ingredients: Sangkaya (Blend) 6 pieces of Pandan leaves 1/2 cup of water (In a saucepan) (you may swipe the ratio bet these sugary items if you have a sweet tooth) 2 tbsp of palm sugar (I used brown sugar) 1 tbsp of white sugar 1tsp green food colouring 1tsp salt 1 tbsp corn starch 1 small box of coconut milk 1/4 evaporated milk (for serving) Steamed bread You may use any bread I used white bread (gardenia) (optional if you want to cut ...

Self-reflect

اسلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته، Hi all. Sun, 3rd May 2020 photographed by mi 4x Yesterday was today, today is today and tomorrow will be today. Do I make any sense? I bet you ponder upon this quote that I made up a few days ago while chit-chatting with my nephew. This quote crossed my mind as time goes by. I figured there is the truth behind this confusing lingering words. The repetition object in a sentence that leads to various meaning out of it. I always think about what will happen if I did not make that decision that I made yesterday. What if it could change my life drastically? Why I follow this path? When will I ever stop regretting thing? Who is going to stay put in my life till the end? How is my ending is going to be? There are lots more unthinkable ideas that pop up in my mind. All in all, I still couldn't find the answer. Let just assume this is what everyone has in the back of their mind. It is a matter of how you take things to put at ease. I...

Skincare haul

Image
Hi, 2nd May 2020 Almost 2 months I was staying indoor, quarantine myself with family. My sister and her husband do the shopping most of the time. Obviously, I've been chilling myself and do the online shopping hee. After so long, I went for groceries shopping literally and did a bit of skincare shopping spree. I was too overwhelmed with the discount displayed and bought a few face masker, serum and moisturizer. This feeling is so real and I'm having a guilty pleasure. Is this impulsive buying? Well, I guess so but this is okay since it been a while since the last time I buy the skincare. I can't wait to pamper my skin!  Oh, btw the salesperson conned me saying the make-up remover is a free gift whilst she quickly put it inside my cart. I wasn't that aware since I'm running out of time. My mom was waiting for me outside the store. And the sparkling bag was a free gift since I purchased the Pink products above RM 50. I did the price checking through ...

Buttermilk chicken

Hey. Sat, 2rd May 2020 These days, I couldn't find the joy of eating white rice. I look through the soc media and something tasty crossed my mind. What would it be? It's been a while since the last time I eat buttermilk chicken. Only by thinking of it make me smile. I can't wait to enjoy the food. Well, it is the month of fasting so I have to wait till Maghrib. Put it aside, my mom cooked Nasi Daging with air asam but it is not my liking. I decided to cook my favourite dish for my family. As simple as the name itself, the ingredients are all present. I plucked the curry leaves in the backyard, minced the garlic and chillies, deep-fried chicken that coated with egg and flour, add in milk and cheese. All the dairy products! Simple right? I drop the video here for you to enjoy and if you find it useful, you may use the recipe as well. This buttermilk chicken tastes so delicious. I adjusted the recipe a bit from my usual by adding the evaporated milk. This is way t...

Almond pulp cookies

Hey. Fri, 1st May 2020 Day 8 of Ramadhan and I am so grateful and blessed. As promised in the previous video post, I will share about how to make cookies from the almond pulp. What is the almond pulp btw? It is the leftover of almond after we squeezing out the milk when making almond milk. The texture is a bit moist and not too smooth (no need to dry it in the oven). Keep it right away in the fridge. To put it in a simple note, almost likely the almond flour from the store, but that is the dry version of it. Worry not, I never knew how the almond milk taste like until I made it and the same goes to this almond cookies. I have no judgement over this recipe though. HEHE. Oh FYI, this is supposed to be vegan food, whereby you use the egg replacer or some people call it 'chia egg' (merely mix the chia seed in the water) and avoid adding flour. I added it btw. Just don't mind me, please. I find it a little bit awkward to make cookies without plain flour. I wouldn...
