apa apa saja

Agak sibuk sikit last week, so just manage to edit post & save draft, tapi tak tau nak tulis apa...

Semasa kemas kemas rak buku, terjumpa pulak buku ni. Actually, I bought these two books merely for the shape, not so much for the recipes in them. Sajala nak share......

On the 30th Mar recently, my eldest son, Alif presented his final year project titled Aqua Sanctuary. I went for two reasons; sent food that the lecturer ordered and to listen to his talk.

Well anak mak, not bad, it was a good presentation. Now you just have to concentrate for the written exams which is just two weeks away-good luck.

Tak elok  cakap pasal sorang, nanti anak lagi satu muncung pulak...

Adil is now waiting to be accepted into college for his tertiary - good luck to you too.

The same week, Massy & Hasan came over and spent a night at our house. Tidur, bangun, makan, minum tu biasa lah tapi yang best nye is when Hasan asked to dip the 'cucur bawang' that I made that evening in condense milk! Usually we dip in chili sauce....

Ya tuan2, pelik tapi benar....

Red and White jelly

Red and White Jelly.

This is simply agar2 santan. I'm sure many know how to make this.

The only difference is I set about 1-1 1/2 cups of  the white (agar2 with santan{coconut milk}) separately. Once set, cube them and put into the red ones.

I should have taken the picture from a better angle, sorry for the poor presentation.

Jalan jalan cari jalan

We drove to Ulu Legong hot spring, about 20 km from Baling town. It was an unplanned drive.

Nice place with hot pools, green surroundings. With a small fee to enter, accommodation is also available. We were informed by a staff at the entrance that most people come between 9pm-5am as it is cooler (the weather, not the water). 

We did not dip ourselves in the hot water as we were not prepared, it was 11am anyway, there were only 5 people in the pool 

Earth Hour-28th mar 2009

8.30-9.30 pm, in support of the earth hour, we lighted the candles.

Hot, dark and feeling stuffy (perasaan je) something popped up. With camera and torchlight...the results of one hour darkness.....
