On snacks you'd love to try...

A little update so the blog doesn't turn dusty. I've to attend three days conference at PICC presented by the people from the World Bank which is definitely not my stuff. Very international, very economics, with data,statistics and maths. Erk. Thank God today is the last day and I guess my brain already went stale. (*_*)..

I need a happy snacks to keep me sane.

Sis in law just returned from S'pore and came knocking at the door at 1 o'clock this morning to pass this...

A bag full of Caramel Crisp Garrett popcorn that everyone was fussing about..

Still fresh. Just can't stop popping 'em into your mouth. Sweet luscious caramelized and crispy...

Like Oprah said, it's the best popcorn on the planet! LOL.

There you go, my pre-Ramadhan post...

Confinement Craving...

My 44 days of confinement period finally over..i'm freeee now..Well tho i didnt religiously followed the strict confinement period, pantang is still pantang. So yes, to celebrate it i decided to reward myself with something sweet. I have sweet tooth and i want to eat thing that I craved during confinement period..a macaron!. No not macaroni, macaron..;) The first time I ate these sweeties was at The Whisk@Empire sometime ago. But after tasting those to die for Laduree's macarons bought by a friend's sister before giving birth, i'm craving for more. The taste was so heavenly i wanted to pass out when i first sank my teeth on it.haha, exaggerating. Still in my hometown finishing my confinement period and of cos it is impossible to get macaron here unless u're really enthusiastic to dig for the recipe and do it on your own.

So the hunting began. I googled baking blogs that sell macarons and in my quest i successfully found it. I love internet(*wink) and immediately emailed the owner . The best part is that they can courier the macarons right to your doorstep. And I got them this morning..;)

Love the colours, they look particularly appealing.

The verdict? Yummy, the texture and the filling were just perfect and I really enjoyed the fact that it wasn't too sweet at least for me..;) For the flavors I chose Chocolate ganache,peanut, Dulce de leche and Mocca Buttercream. My parents tasted the macaron, it was good but sinfully sweet to their likings that can increase their sugar level,hehe.. Glancing at Hana, no she doesnt eat macarons, she just crazy over breast milk, I think she don't even bother if i finish the whole box myself...hehe. But not too worry, i did not eat them all in one day..

dulce de leche is my favourite flavor...

I came to know that Harrods,KLCC also sell macarons but since now i live in Putrajaya, KLCC is just too far to my reach.huhu. So if u tempted to try without having the hassle to get them outside and can wait, u can have them delivered to your house by contacting Cik Min..;)

the homemade macarons...

*Just realize Cik Min dok Bentongje, on the way ke rumah mak mertua saje..hehe.Will definitely order some more in the future.

Ramadhan 22..

pics from Brotherhood Arts

We have almost reached the end of Ramadhan, Subhanallah...and yesterday on 22nd of Ramadhan hubby has already paid the zakat at Masjid Putrajaya... it easy nowadays rite because the zakat counters open almost everywhere be it in mosques, shopping malls and even in bazaars. So no excuse for not paying zakat aite. have u do your part?

Just a few days before Ramadhan close its curtain (sigh) and this is such a precious opportunity to focus and upgrade our ibadah to the max..hehe..a reminder for self actually..I know praying Tarawikh have never felt more beautiful than having to do it at the mosque almost every single day but I just perform my congregational tarawikh prayers at home with hubby. Sometimes I tend to get dizzy and nausea standing for the long prayers in surau especially if the imam recite the longer verses of Quran. yeah excuses,excuses, but seriously I'm a tad shy to perform prayer sitting at any surau mainly because I think I look all healthy.

For this year, we don't really spend money and go to bazaar Ramadhan so often and guess that's a good thing because usually the food will end up in the trash. Since we' are leaving KL next week for balik kampung, so towards the end of this week I just dig in whatever we have in the fridge and try to finish all the left raw stuffs. Like yesterday we just had this for iftar..

1. ikan bawal sweet sour
2.sayur kangkung belacan
3. telur dadar with cheese and sausage ?? (hubby cooked this but it still edible )
4. 2 karipap goreng segera

see, no bazar ramadhan food..today will try to finish the fresh chicken in the fridge, perhaps simple nasi ayam will do..

What about this weekend..hmm..iftar at MIL's house of cos..
