Melapiskan lapisan

thought of posting up some pictures of my baking project last weekend to ease up sakit perut yang tengah melanda ini...so here goes :

that was my very first time baking a layered cake. i was always intimidated by the large amount of egg yolks used to bake a kek lapis but this recipe calls for only 6 eggs...and it uses up whole eggs, so no wastage at all. and i thought, hey why not try out this recipe .... after all, using up 6 eggs is still acceptable if kek lapis tu tak menjadi, though i really2 hope the cake menjadi ... (amin...) and thank god... menjadi pun kek lapis tu ... okay la kan ... for a first timer ... heheh~

pwincess buat 1 adunan but bake into 2 small square pans so that I can experiment which filling tastes better ... prune or hawflakes ... and ...(drumrolls...) i like hawflakes better though the prune one tiada kurang sedapnya. "tepuk dada, tanya selera".

Thanks to Hanieliza for the recipe.

Iftar - Jom Cari Makan, Kota Damansara

Today is the fourth day of Ramadhan, and alhamdulillah, dipanjangkan umur dapat kita puasa sampai arini. Prince and I made a sudden plan for iftar today ... we planned to attack Jom Cari Makan (JCM) at Kota Damansara since pwincess had the craves for halal dim sum after Asar prayer just now. So we made a reservation hastily and was informed that JCM also offer buka puasa buffet at RM33. 00. So, layan laa...apa lagi....nyum!nyum!

tak dapat snap from centre bcoz too many cars around

palatable spread

THE dim sum....yummylicious

more scrumptious food

dessert section .. mainly traditional malay kuih and fruits .. tak sempat merasa...perut too full!

some of the vege dishes that we took .. pwincess sangat suke itu mah poh tauhu ... adoi kena cari resipi ni..

the dim sum served for buffet ramadhan .. agak limited, there are more choices if ala carte

ahh. cendol. but pwincess found the santan ketul-ketul itu undesirable ...kekeke .. maka tak habis makan.

Ada banyak lagi food ... nasi ayam ... mee udang ... steamed norwegian fish ... udang sweet sour .... bla bla bla ... tapi nak buat camaner, perut dah kenyang bangat ... rasa mcm nak pecah perut. wakekeke. JCM ni sedap tau food dia, even kalau ala carte. I usually order Kueyteow Cantonese and Dim Sum ... they serve tasty chinese muslim food...

orait. mari kita niat puasa untuk esok pula .... :)

Ramadhan 1432H

Lisan kadang-kadang tidak dijaga
Janji kadang-kadang terabai
Hati kadang-kadang berprasangka
Sikap kadang-kadang menyakitkan

Hidup ini menjadi indah jika masih ada kemaafan....
Selamat menyambut Ramadhan Al Mubarak

Pesta Floria 2010

A belated entry post, as always ... but better late than never ;-p

The Flower & Garden Festival 2010 was actually held in Putrajaya on July 10-18, 2010. There were a lot of flowers and plants arranged to form beautiful landscape but I guess the main attraction was the 1 Malaysia flowers arrangement. Everyone wanted to be photographed beside the beautifully assembled 1 Malaysia flowers. When we went there, it was scorching hot and we were practically drenched with sweat ... heheh ... but all in all, Pesta Floria was a great event although the flowers and plants displayed were significantly less as compared to the same event held in KL previously.

Please enjoy the pictures!
