China Treasures, Sime Darby Convention Centre

Akhirnya...keinginan nak makan dimsum di China Tresures akhirnya tercapai...

it was an adhoc decision...monday after long break of CNY, so jalan clear and paling best bosses smua xde..called hubby pn dh 11.30am kot..he was at MidValley that time so since dekat my opis and he agreed to lunch together..so by 12.30pm off we go...

phewww nasib i made a call for reservation...rasanya meja kecik utk makan less than 4 people ada 3 je kot...lain smua meja besar for those yang nak celebrate CNY kan..i tau sana ada buffet dimsum but apparently when we went there, no more promotion for buffet of dimsum...sbb skrg tgh promo utk makan besar n yee sang....

so we just had our ala carte meny as well amik satu appetizer...hubby mahu soup di situ...but harga dah la RM100++ n xtau banyak mana tah...n i plk bukan makan sup2 ni..once few years back we had department's lunch at chinese restaurant di sogo..the foods were nice! i luv chinese food...teringat2 smpi skrg roasted chicken dia ke apa tah...yummylicious...then we had the lotus soup...memang xmakan la hamba...hahaha...so decided not to buy any kinda soup la ngan husband that day!

from top left clockwise :
Rice Roll with Fresh Scallops
Deep Fried Crispy Dragon Beard Prawns
Chicken Siew Mai
Crystal Shrimp Dumpling

from top left clockwise :
Deep Fried Chicken Chilli
Carrot cake with Minced Chic & Diced Mushroom
Mini Egg Tart With Bird's Nest

How was it? ermmm...makan sikit pun kenyang yang amat...we had our chrysanthemum tea...hubby minum sampai 5 glasses..i pulak agak amik heavy breakfast...ada hati ok awal2 dah tick siap amik 8/14 meanu of dimsums...last2 cancel amik 6 je n tu pn x habis...dah la dapat tidbits cashew nuts (RM6) and dh buat kenyang jgk...ermmmm

Crispy Dragon tu a bit oily...so last2 kami korek amik prawns dia je...carrot cake drg mmg macam tu ek? i ingatkan datang macam cake n nampak orange2 carrot tu..BAHAHA..ni macam nasi impit yang sedap..so harus la kenyang...HAHAHA...

my lunch date :D

TQ hubby...nampaknya makan ala carte ni lagi mahal dari amik buffet if ada...so next time makan buffet la ye..hiks...

TQ hubby for the treat and specially melayan tekak n adhoc request dari wifey ni...

till then...tunggu ada buffet br datang lagi...hihi

Farm in The City & Birthday Lunch

As the summary of his 4th birthday celebration can read it here...so basically this post nak share on our experience visiting Farm in The City.

Basically, those who has 2 kids mmg berbaloi...pakej harga utk family murah sbb inclusive ngan pony ride smua..

Ticket price (Malaysian Citizen) :

Adult                                         - RM 30

Kids (below 12) & Senior Citizen - RM 25

Agak mahal jgk..sbb kawasan dia kecil...tapi memandangkan experience yang kita dapat tu..sbb zoo ni ada petting zoo, bukan normal zoo where all the animals di kurung itu...so ada experience pet animals di situ...no additional charge utk foods yang kita bakal kasi binatang2 itu makan...

1st kami tiba di kawasan giant turtle...best plk kasi binatang ni makan..slow je kunyah n menelan...since no one else that time, so kami diberi kangkung utk diberi ke turtle tu more than 1 time...seronok! clap clap

remember when i said it was raining that day? so gambar selfie, gambar posing...kasi makan kt burung adalah tak henti2...sebab kami stucked di situ...bagus pekerja tu, because ada farouq kot...so sentiasa kasi farouq and me harus menyibuk nak feed those birds...

biler hujan dh berenti...jalan agak lecak but kami redah jgk..then kasi makan sama itu rusa and kambing...sampai menjerit kot kami2 ni sbb kambing tu tamak haloba...nak kasi rusa pn dia laju2 datang nak makan jgk...warghhh takut...farouq pn kasi makan sket then lepaskan trus kangkung tu...

then sampai ke area kawasan ikan...1st kat kawasan called "LONGKANG FISHING"...mcm kt gambar yg farouq stress tu...diberi net tu n baldi kecik kononnya akan dapat tangkap la ikan...nan hado ok! i pun berusaha nak tgkp anak2 ikan tu...TAK DAPAT jgk...sbnrnya so called longkang tu adalah dalam sbb dalam tu pn ikan kecik2...klau i yang tangan pnjg pn xdapat...apatah lagi bebudak2 tu LOL

trus ke arah kolam...ada jgk disediakan bekas utk feed those fishes yang besar2 tu..mcm2 jenis ikan ada but mainly adalah ikan KOI itu...

Last but not least...since pony tu berehat during lunch hour..kami keciwa sekejap sbb sikecik dh nampak banner n nak naik pony...then pekerja dia offer suruh kasi raccoon makan hokey..i punya la cakap xnak..but hubby insisted me to try..hoiii menjerit2 kot time tu..ngan kuku panjang *tak sakit pn* tp geli kot..ngan air liur dia banyakkk....farouq mmg xmo la kan..

proses penyemburan peniupan candles bersama si kecik yang malu itu sebelum kami ketahui bahawa sesungguhnya Kidzania tutup itu...uwaaaa....

Happy 4th Birthday again farouq...as usual mama n babah x kasi present because of coz farouq mana pandai appreciate kan..but kami kasi pengalaman/moment yang akan di ingati itu bukan? read here...

where to this year babah? ermm zurai dh beli tiket utk kita bertiga...on ur birthday but usually memang either sept or oct kita akan berjalan as our birthday celebration kan? make sure jadi ok october! hiks...insyaAllah umur panjang and diberi kesihatan....amin

Maybank Treat Point di Harvey Norman

my colleague yang inform aritu....usually i hanya guna kt sengheng, sng beli rice cooker la..beli hair dryer smua pakai treat point, so xde keluar duit...yeeehaaaaa...

so since kami ada few items yang harus dibeli seperti kami warwarkan di sini...so lastly mesin basuh+dryer adalah penting mengenangkan kami kerap ke sana..and memikirkan hubby selalu membuat basuhan adalah pukul 12tgh malam la n berkesudahan smpi kul pukul 2 pagi...dah la sana sunyi, seram la plk....

so decided to buy it....ni pembelian lama dh ni...taun lepas kot..akhir taun la tapi..hihi...so we went to Harvey Norman di IPC Shopping Center yang bersebelahan dengan Ikea itu...memang dah usha dari dulu tp x menjadi keperluan...so we chose 9kg/6kg mesin je....10kg/6kg xde stock..harga pn beza rm1k hokey...dah kenapa kan? amik saja yang 9kg/6kg itu...

so hubby menunggu ketibaan di rumah and menunggu utk pekerja setup smua...and malam tu semangat dan2 membasuh....

Hambik ko...sampai terkeluar2 ha air sabun ok T_____T then i gatal p bukak tmpt ltk sabun tu, apa lagi, i lari masuk bilik and trus nak tido..tup2 esok pagi semua dh selesai plus lantai pn hubby dh bersihkan....kenapa leh sampai jadi mcm tu?

1. kami letak liquid detergent di portion pre-wash but xtekan button pre-wash...so dua2 part dia cuci bersih sekali jalan je detergent tu...so about 2 cups in total
2. then kami letak vanish liquid yang memang mempunyai buih yang banyak jgk

sila bersedia utk bayaran bill eletrik yang mahal......hahaha

my dyson and free gift

lastly...dapat jgk my wish list..dyson vacuum cleaner...walaupun di hati dari dulu dh tetapkan nak vacuum cordless tu...hubby memang x brapa setuju dgn kena caj2 la...maximum leh guna 30mins je kot..so biler kami try then ditambah plk sales person tu mcm x advise membeli sbb suction nya agak x kuat and mcm ala2 menyapu je...

ya trus tukar beli cylinder n amik ko besaq pya ha...we bought cylinder vacuum model DC-52...bestnya sbb filtration "Dyson cylinder vacuums don’t use bags and have washable lifetime filters."  senang giler cuci memandangkan carpet kami ni sekali vacuum msti banyak hasilnya dia kutip segala serpihan2 carpet itu...click click terbukak dh tmpt kumpulan habuk, then bawak p buang je and click click pasang balik...taadaaaaaaa

agak berat sket la...but its ok...wayar dia adalah pnjg...about 9meter kot...i managed to plug in kt satu point je (area dining hall) n dapat cover my 1100sqft ni...yeaaaa....dulu i guna normal vacuum yg dapat hadiah kawin, hambik ko...rasanya kena tkr point 5 kali kot...huhuhu....

with this purchase...kami dapat free printing 3 * 20pcs 4R size...tp xbuat lagi and xtau la dh expired ke blum...n surprisingly drg kasi satu Wokpan korean made waktu delivery ke rumah...just in time kot sbb i mmg tgh usha nak beli 1 more kuali..gembira lagi....

owhh ya..so by using maybank treat point, from my collected points managed to reduce the total by RM 1,500..and from hubby's points by RM 700...banyak x? sangat banyakk...kenapa hubby punya point sikit? sbb dia dh cancel 1 kad kredit and dia pya point bukan yang 4 times gitu...i usually akan guna my AMEX yang reward point dia adalah RM 1 = 4 points....

thats y, selagi mana purchase i leh guna cc...memang akan swipe...but no worries k...i bukan berhutang yoo...insyaAllah mmg selalu akan clear cc..slalu kena caj sbb lambat bayar...dh xmo buat perangai swipe tp sbnrnya xde duit terlebey...last2 bonus habis bayar hutang cc...duit asb xmo usik plk tu even hutang cc meningkat dulu2...financial arrangements failed...

Happy wife = Clean House insyaAllah but harus la hubby turut serta dalam proses di rumah...xkisah la basuh pinggan *mcm biasa awk buat tu* or menjaga anak...

i lurve redvelvet cake/cupcake! 

knowing that i xbrapa suka fancy cakes ni...kalau cheesecake lagi2 dr SR tu, terima kasih je la..kasi i kek sponge dari King's tu ke...or redvelvet gitu ke or rainbow ke..ha tu i suka!!  kalau p klcc or BV (sbb mall kecik) akan la beli RV cupcake dari BISOU..OU payah sikit sbb besaq benau mall nya...

got the recipe from a friend of my yang kasi sebijik2 siap segala tips (bcoz dia rajin pergi kelas baking)....

at last gigihkan diri jgk...lagipun suka kan..harus la buat!

hasil baking di tengah malam... 

Since i membaking di tengah malam...and esoknya balik gombak...so proses meletakkan topping esoknya baru jadi...dah 1 keje aritu bwk cheese cream nya ke hulur hilir dari gombak ke serdang ke gombak LOL

ada byk size ok my cupcakes since nak masak one go je...biler i bawak blk gombak, my mom geleng je kepala sbb macam2 size BAHAHAHA...sbb i guna normal papercup yang need acuan utk masak skali, bekas i tu skali masak leh 12 je...

Moyang and cicit

before i forgot...prior tu "percutian" 3D2N kami...since admitted on wednesday..so isnin and selasa memang si kecik dah x gie sekolah...biasa la..kena kuarantin sbb takut terkena selsema batuk or demam kan...

my embah(nenek&atok) aka moyang(ayot) kepada farouq mmg ada kat rumah...i xde plk plan awalnya mereka yang akan menjaga farouq...so at 1st i dah plan my father aka atok kepada farouq yang jaga ini budak..and since my embah ada, i know my mum akan siapkan lauk lunch...so i xpayah la rush balik lunch hour kan...

tup2...on monday, my dad ada hal pagi..i sent my mon to office..tup2 i called my dad by noon pn xbalik2 rumah...smpi la ke petang..so basically yang menjaga farouq sepanjang hari?? yes...AYOT dia....

he woke up pn dh 11am++ sbb malam tu mmg i xkasi dia tido awal..and berlagak ok xmo tido ngan mama dia malam tu..tido ngan ayot T____T..dah la i dh pesan a night before..."jangan kacau ayot"...."nanti nak makan and shower tunggu atok balik"...so since atok x balik, atok dia called and bgtau suruh makan jangan tunggu atok...and i called him suruh tunggu i balik mandikan...memang ayot dia boleh je mandikan i.e. tengok je sbb dia dh boleh mandi, sabun, keringkan badan even pakai baju sendiri...tapi xpe la kan...i balik la sekejap....

sampai rumah? ayot tgh suap cicit makan...hihihi...comey je...ayot pn cakap dia ok je..xkacau pn..main je banyak..g toilet pn nak shishi sendiri...i dh pesan nk minum air dari water bottle, sbb ini budak banyak akal..."farouq nak minum plain water from glass..dont want from water bottle"..mengada kan?

kalau i call rumah? mmg ayot cakap dari dapor dia berlari sebab mmg dia je la yang angkat phone...sampai ada tahap i called gap about 3 min je.."alaaaa..kenapa mama call banyak kali ni?"....boleh???

so selasa stayed at home with me n ayot...i lari kejap not even 2jam ke bank sikit...then yesterday, school dia closed...so stay at home ngan ayot again tp bersama opah...yesss nasib opah cuti, cuti sebab nak kemas barang...insyaAllah my parents akan berangkat utk mengerjakan umrah bermula Ahad ini...boleh la anta!! yeaaaaa sbb farouq x jadi operation kan...

Burger RM 30

Farouq, ni kalau kt kedai ni harga burger ni RM 30 tau...

itu la yang hubby was saying biler nak makan burger yang dihidangkan...

why?

because i made my own beef patties uolls...recipe and idea n apa smua dari thepinkstilettos...TQ  for the recipes...

the patties and the dried spices

well...basically to make the patties as below :

Beef Patty Recipe:

(Makes 6 patties)
750g ground beef
1 large onion, minced
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp Tabasco sauce (or any hot sauce)
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1 cup breadcrumbs
1 egg, whisked
1 tsp ground cumin
Salt and black pepper to taste
Cheese slices

Basically u just add everything je..then buat trus jadi patty...i ltk extra breadcrumbs yang entah effect ke sbb biler i baked dia mengecut.

after dah bake for 10mins gitu, i letak slice of cheese n bake another 5 minits...owhh before bake, i cook patties each side until browned...

tu yang nampak patty kecik dari roti...and daging dia jadi menebal..adakah sbb dia x di sejuk bekukan sbb tu dia jadi mcm tu? entah la...nanti i try bake yang dh difrozenkan plk...banyak tu dapat dengan 750gm ground beef kan...

mcm biasa hubby yang perut kecik, sebab makan roasted potatoes n carrots tu banyak..dia xlarat habiskan patty tu...so i made size kecik utk farouq, dia dah habiskan dia pya portion...then perabiskan yang babah dia pya jgk...

siap buat sauteed mushroom tu...yummylicious...boleh tak berdebar nak masak those roasted potatoes &carrots n sauted mushroom itu...yang roasted tu pheww...ada la jgk 40mins (last 10mins i masak/masukkan skali ngan beef patties dlm oven)..sbb nak make sure kentang tu masak...lastly dia masak n crunchy..hubby macam suka but i macam kureng....HAHAHA...but rasa dia ok, menyerap je segala rempah ratus...tp agak dry kenapa ek? lenkali nak try grill plk la...huhu...

Sauteed Garlic Mushroom:

Mushroom
Olive oil
2 cloves of garlic, chopped
Salt &pepper to taste

Roasted potatoes and baby carrots:

Just coat the potatoes and baby carrots in olive oil, salt, black pepper, dried rosemary, dried thyme, dried basil, dried oregano… and roast in the oven for 20-30 minutes.

Next nanti nak buat grilled salmon and sauted garlic asparagus plk...aritu beria dh beli asparagus, but since dh buat mushroom itu..kita lupakan je asparagus...

Ingredients for Grilled Salmon:

2-3 salmon fillets
Garlic powder
Salt
Black pepper
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp water
1/2 tbsp olive oil

Season both sides of salmon fillets with salt, black pepper and garlic powder.

In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, honey, water and olive oil. Stir.

Pour the marinade mixture over the salmon, cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.

Preheat grill pan over medium heat and lightly grease it. Place salmon fillets on the grill pan and cook on both sides until they flake easily (doesn’t take long to cook). Transfer onto plates.

RF and Iqra' : Part III

Alhamdulillah...

anak mama dah masuk iqra' 2....

proses pembelajaran sekarang berjalan sangattttt lancar....

Contoh macam gambar di atas...dah kenal huruf "ayn" kt iqra' 1...kt atas tunjuk mcmana huruf tu kalau di permulaan ayat, di pertengahan ayat or di akhir ayat...alhamdulillah dapat menerima dengan mudah

as well mcm ada tnjk huruf "jiim" biler bersambung kan tinggal kepala dia je kan? sekali je kat iqra tnjk huruf "jiim" di mana ada dot kat bawah...trus lepas tu farouq dapat tangkap utk "jiim" & "haa" and "kha"...

GOOD JOB anak mama....

i've uploaded above video di instagram...since dh ada combination of 3 huruf dan belum belajar tajwid utk panjang n pendek...so skrg i dah stat ajar farouq mengaji berlagu!! supaya biler masuk part tajwid, insyaAllah akan lebey memudahkan.....

proses mengajar mengaji skrg 80% hanyalah memantau...sbb dia dh kenal huruf...just 20% tu la dia kadang2 konfius..usually yang dia konfius?

nun & mim

qaaf & kaaf

its ok farouq...slowly k...
