It's all about chocolate!

Just discovered something new about my No.1 (RN), she can actually put off the cap of any container by herself, just like this,

The cap went missing!  No idea where it goes!

Before I was about to kemas2 some of d boxes in d store room, I saw her holding NUTELLA, I did remind her "U can have that if u eat your lunch!" 

Few minutes later, the maid suddenly came to me, 'reporting' that RN is eating the Nutella and she conviced me that she didnt put the cap off , RN did it herself... 

::SIGH::

I asked the maid to put some of it in a small bowl and put on the bip, so it won't get messy on her dress..

'Digging' all chocs, make sure nothing left

 

Mama, can I have some more?

Kan best if dia makan nasi habis mcm ni...

I baked chocolate cake today, but still tak berapa jadi.. Tak tahu kenapa lately, my baking 'skill' is just so, THUMBS DOWN! But at least its better than last week, its still edible :)

My 'not-so-good looking' cake :(

My No.2 (EN) requested for the 1st cut of Mama's freshly baked chocolate cake..

Hmm.. what's next?? :)

I'm happy kids enjoying my 'not-so-good looking' cake...

Frustrated with my cake :(

Hari ni mood utk baking is ON.. so after WN off to office, I prepared the normal ingredients to do the chocolate cake... Ntah kenapa, lpas 45minutes, kek mendadak keluar habis.

I just continued baking for another 10minutes, the result is still the same.. Don't know where and how it went wrong, semua bahan aku ikut sukatan yg selalu buat selama ni.. Mungkin tepung quality?? I'm so frustrated, tapi dlam kek texture and d taste mmg masak..Rasa sama... Anak2 aku suka makan wpon presentation was really BAD for the outside.

Inside my microwave oven....  Some of the batter 'blasts' here and there.. 

Mmg payah nak 'scrap' utk hilangkan batter yg melekat tu :(

Its really bad huh!

This is after 10minutes baked.. still d same.. Macam ledakan gunung berapi kan??

Tapi xpela... ESOK LUSA TULAT buat lagi...  Maybe its MONDAY BLUES.... :(

Salam Aidilfitri 2011

As salam all!

1st of all I would like to wish everyone a Selamat Hari Raya, Maaf zahir dan batin :)

RAYA CELEBRATION

Mmg every year setiap kali raya, aku akan balik kampong suami di Seremban.. Da ada highway LEKAS ni lagi la lekas, xdla meredah jem mcm di highway PLUS kan... brtmbah Plus-la jem KL- Seremban skrg... dunno la PLUS is not doing anything for improvement or mmg org KL da mmg sesak bawak kete...

1st day raya, as usual, cousin2 belah suami akan serang rumah mertuaku... boleh katakan 5-6 keta sekali serbu... So spt biasa me and my sis-in-law akan sibuk jadi assistant to my MIL siapkan apa2 yang patut dihidangkan... My MIL selalunya akan masak lauk pauk 2-3hari sebelom raya or even several weeks b4 raya pon dia da masak awal2, then masukkan dlam container terus ke freezer..so HASSLE FREE! x payah terkocoh-kocoh nak masak masa raya... Sorry-la x sempat amik gambor la.. anak2 aku lak meragam disana..

Gambar ini saja yg sempat dia ambil. Theme colour is PINK thn ni! bole??

Tgkla... semua x ready kecuali WN.. ish ish ish...

Tiba petang raya ke-2, anak yg sulong R, pulak kene flu and high fever... ish ish ish.. nasib baik sepat brjalan raya sebelah PIL tghari tu... Terus raya ke-3, sepatutnya ke Kuala Pilah, plan itu trpaksa dibatalkan sbb nak bawak R ke Columbia Hospital Seremban, sbb fever-nya x surut2... Al-maklumlah baru raya ke-3 kan, klinik mana ada yg buka lagi kan.. Doktor kata tekaknya inflame.. so FLU la jadinya.. Doktor prescribed antibiotik, pcm, ubat batuk and selsema..

Total semua: RM117.oo.. nasib baik bole claim insurance...kan!

Raya kali ni x puas sgt sbb puteriku demam... Malam2 mmg aku and WN x tido nynyak sgt, sbbbnya anak2 merengek, mungkin x sedap badan.. Yang no.2 tu pulak, Y, kurang selesa ditmpat baru, so kejap2 trbgn, nak ajak bersiar di dalam rumah Wan and Toknya...

Well, raya ke-4, we're back in KL... raya ke-5 brjalan raya sebelah family ku pulak.. Baru dua rumah beraya, itupon anak2 da merengek.. R pon belom fully recovered... Y pulak x biasa ngn muka yg dia x familiar..

CHOCOLATE CAKE.

Alhamdulilah, daptla dlm 13 biji kek terjual kali ni.. tapi penatnya YA ALLAH! Next year mungkin da xbuat lagi, sbbnya aku penat, kdg2 anak2 kene marah sbb aku keletihan bila diorg merengek... ni pon ada order on d way... Oh ya ada juga kek yg x mnjadi, so ada jugakla ruginya.. biasala berniaga mcm ni la, naseb kecik je aku buat..

This is 1 kg... ready to go bebeh!

BERAT BADAN

Phewwww.. x payah ckpla kan.. mmg makan byk raya ni.. MIL pulak masakannya mmg sedap... mmg kene dgn tekak and selera aku.. tak tahula camne nak 'meng-kuruskan' badan yg da mengembang ni...

Jadi itu sja entry kali ni... SELAMAT HARI RAYA SEMUA!

Selamat Berpuasa... Choc Cake on d way!

As Salam semua..

I just done solat Subuh .. Alhamdulilah its a 2nd day of Ramadan.. Semoga Tuhan mmberikan semangat dan kekuatan untuk meneruskan ibadah ini untuk hamba2nya..

Tahun ini I saja 'test market' by selling chocolate moist cake for this coming Raya.. Well, I baked it by myself.. Ngeeeeee! I post it on FB, tagged few ppl & kirim hubby few samples to his colleagues too. Alhamdulilah, ada lah dlm 13biji orders so far.. I sell it x mahal for a start, as compared others... 500gm (1/2kg) for RM15 and 1kg forRM30, incl RM5 for delivery..OK la kan..

contoh chocolate moist cake..

sample packaging that I've made.. :)

Oh yess, we had a short trip to PD last weekend b4 puasa... Kids really had fun! R still takut/phobia with water, she only played by the beach making some sand castles... Its not perfect, but she loved it! While Y redah je masuk laut with her Abah.. BTW, x puas dok sana 1 hari.. WN pon suggest we should spend d time kat sana lps Raya nnti Insyaallah.. Get away from hectic life sekejap, ok la kan!

kids and some of d activities!

Yesterday, hubby bwk jejalan ke Bazar Ramadan @ Bndar Kinrara (BK).. Act ada few Bazars near to our place, tapi saje nak survey mana satu gerai yg jual best.. Sad to say, its a bit dissapointing at BK, most of d stalls seling lauk pauk je, yg jual kuih 'ciput' sgt and x variety, harapkan nmpak happening je lebih! I'm act looking for kuih tepung pelita, but xde satu pon! So today, we r going to Puncak Jalil pulak.. hopefully x menghampakan..

So ok guys.. will get back soon.. Selamat berpuasa.. and jgn 'lapar mata' mbazir x tentu pasal di Bazar Ramadan.. :) We had 29days to go.. Setiap hari boleh rasa yg lain! :)
