Wanna Play Masak-Masak

It was my birthday 2 days ago. Ok, ok, don't have to remind me that I am getting older liau. *sad* How old am I??? Normally, a lady age is a secret. Well! That is what most people say but to me, age does not mean anything. Me.............. born in the year of rabbit so, I am 33 this year.

I were quite surprise of what hubby had got me this time. He said he had given me alot of things but this year he wanted to give me a surprise. Oh man!!! When he handed me the gift, he ask me to give it a guess what was it. I name him a few and he say I were totally wrong. Cheh............. somorehor, he show is lansi lanyong punya face. I gave up and started to open my gift.

Hand Painted Porcelain.
It's a mini one lagi.
The plate
2 small cups with 2 sauces, a pot for milk, sugar and teapot. Really mini. Darling, you wanna play masak masak kah? You how old liau?
This is from my kids. Lovely isn't it? Darling, how much did you take from their piggy bank to buy this cake? Hey, I can do better than this leh................ wahahah...

Darling, thank you for all this things. We do not need to celebrate this at a 5 stars hotels but having you and the kids to celebrate it with me are really good enough.

Making Dodol

Making dodol was fun. I had asked my mum about this long time ago. Few weeks back, I went back to my parents house and suddenly mum ask me, you want to make dodol moh? *give her a funny look face* Today kah? Now? She say now lar, aboh bila? Aiyoh! Drove her out and pick up the ingredients. One condition, she is not going to use gas stove. She say must use charcoal. Alamak, marci (mother)!!! Ok lar, no choice. That means we got to sit down there for hours to cook that.

Mix all the ingredients together and stir.

Must keep on stirring it.

This is still at early stage.

Add in the durian flesh. Yum yum

Stir , stir, stir.................

It's thicken already. This is already 2 hours of cooking.

It's ready after 3 1/2 hours of cooking.

It's really tiring but honestly, I do enjoy it. After it cool down, I roll them up with plastic. Forget to take some pictures. Mum gave some to her neighbours and hubby gave some to his friends. Will I make it again. YES, I WILL.

Here is the recipe that I want to share with you :

1kg of glutinous rice flour

2.5kg of coconut milk

1kg of gula melaka (if you are adding more durian flesh, do cut down the gula melaka)

2 no of durian (use only the flesh)

Method :

1. Mix all the ingredient together and cook about 1/2 hours. Do not stop stirring.

2. Add the durian flesh and continue to cook for 2 1/2 - 3 hours.

3. Let is cool and wrap it with plastic. Then, put them in the fridge.

Note : The mixture will become thick after 1 1/2 hours but it's not ready yet. Make sure you stir till the bottom of the wok.

HAPPY TRYING!!! HOPE YOU WILL ENJOY IT.

He started with 5 pieces then move on to 12, 20 and now the latest is 150 pieces. The beautiful part is he can do it quiet fast. I enjoy seeing him playing with puzzle. He will sing as he play with it.

Kimberly Street Market

Actually, I love to go to market. Why? Got lots of things to see mah. But it depends on which market you go to. In Penang, the wet market at Kimberly Street had got lots of things to see especially near to festive season like Chinese New Year.

The wet market environment

They also have prayer items

One of my favourite shop ............ Fook Weng. The boss, Ah Yau is a friendly person

Non msg fish stock. Not cheap also but it's really nice. RM1/pkt

Handmade fish ball. Highly recommended. It's really tasty. Yum yum........

They also have lots of others variety

Prawns ........

They will also help you to cut the fish like other fish stall do in other markets

They Need Our Helping Hands

A friend of mine, Josephine told me there is a children handicapped centre that I can help in whatever way I can. Few weeks ago, I drop by this centre and it was a Sunday so they were close. They only open during the weekdays.

Finally, today I had make an effort to drop by there in the afternoon. I had been making a lot of noise at hubby ears asking him to take me there. Well, I can go by myself but since he say he would also like to go so I keep on reminding him lor. By the time, we were there the kids are all gone home already. They start school at 8am and finished at 12.30pm except for Friday where the class end 1 hour earlier.

The brochure.
You can also support a kids at RM600/year.

For those kids who are poor or their family are having financial problem, the government will support each kids with RM600/year. Yes! only RM600 which is RM50/month. This money will bank into their personal account. Btw, with RM50/month what can they do? I really do not know. When Khatijah, the principal told us about it, we were shock. Currently, there are 70 kids at this centre ranging from age 4 - 17. 1 man had been send to the moon with millions of dollars without a good reason. Can't they use the money to help the needy one. Use that millions of dollars to help the poor or the needy one lar rather spending it like that. 1 man happy but millions of people suffer.

A workshop called JOBLINK is formed together with the Rotary Club Penang to catered jobs to the youths with disabilities. It provides on the job training and handles contract work which helps them to master work skills and also earn an income as well as give them a sense of achievement and independence.
