Making your own fruit jam is not difficult after all. Strawberry seem to be everyone favourite. Lately, I see there are lots of strawberry selling at the wet market which is not very expensive. So, I bought some and decided to make some jam for my kids and mum. Btw, this my mum favourite.
Strawberry - cut wedges

Cook with some water and brown sugar in a pan

In the process of cooking with a medium fire

The jam is ready

Let it cool before closing the container. This is what I get

Supper for the kids - Toast bread with butter and strawberry jam

100g brown sugar (it depends on how sweet you want it to be. If needed, add more)
Method :
1. Put all the ingredients in the pan and cook it on the slow fired. Continue to stir the mixture every few minutes.
2. Cook until it is thicken. This take about 35 to 45 minutes.

3 Layer Tea???

What is 3 layer tea? It's a new beverage that sell in most of the Nasi Kandar Shop. Anyway, it is not really new. They have been selling it for almost 2 months ago. Took this pictures when they just started and only now I remember about it.

The banner - 3 layer tea

This is how it look like. Bottom - Palm Sugar ; Middle - Evaporated Milk; Top - Tea

Some coffeeshop sell at RM2.50 and most Nasi Kandar shop sell at RM3.00. The tea taste good and you should give it a try. Refreshing.............................

Single For 4 Days! Yahoo............

I were single again for 4 days since yesterday. Hubby is away since yesterday for his business trip. Shiok!!! Yipee..................... Hooooray!!!!! You might say, what a crazy wife. When he is not around, I can do lots of things but the only problem is I am without a personal chauffer for 4 days. KNN. I hate to drive so friends who know me well will never ask me to drive them. If they ask me to go anywhere, they will come over to pick me up. I hate the traffic where you got to stop the car in the jam and with the weather so hot in Penang, I can go crazy.
