Sardine Rolls

I've been craving for these rolls for quite some time now, so yesterday I finally googled them up. All that came up were the recipes, but most use either bread or those popiah pastry slices. Finally I came upon Kak Teh's blog that insists on making the dough with butter, not margarine! I took that as a sign that this was the right recipe to follow. I thought however, that her end product didn't look so pretty.



Sekali tengok mine was worse! Hahaha sabar je lah. Forgot about getting the pastry brush when I bought the rolling pin and the board, so I used my finger for the egg-wash. And the dough koyak rabak, because aku tak cukup professional.

Taste wise, I think I went a little crazy with the salt, but really, very delicious. Zufri didn't really care for it because sardines aren't his thing, but got some rave reviews from the visiting chef, Pipi (who made dinner, AND lunch btw, all while taking care of Emma!)

Two whole days of wholesome home cooked food. Ahh bliss. And a money saver too! And we had Tutti Frutti frozen yogurt for dessert semalam.

Haha rasa macam so positive and happy this morning. Maybe because its a short working week and its Friday already! Plus the Unifi installation is tomorrow! And I'm also picking up my new jubah tomorrow!

Hehe OTT pulak rasa. Have an amazing weekend, everyone!

Visiting Baby Armand

Semalam hari membeli-belah di Gulati's USJ. Diskaun gila-gila you! Memang murah, tapi rasa stok last year kot pasal nak raya mesti nak masuk stok baru, kan? Banyak orang kawin bulan 6 ni, harus ada banyak baju.

Lebih enjoy dari ke Jakel tahun lepas pasal Gulati's tak ramai orang, so semua salesgirl busy layan Emma, Zuf busy layan handphone, aku dan Pipi busy shopping. Kenapa Gulati's USJ? Pasal kami baru balik dari melawat baby Megat Armand Firdaus, dan wedding yang aku sangkakan di petang Sabtu rupanya di petang Ahad.

Ooohhhh the storm has passed. Great skills in risk management, in my humble opinion. Yay time to enjoy the rest of the workday!




I have dug my grave. Now is the time to wallow in self-pity and ride the storm over. At least its Friday.

Sigh.

Disney On Ice

Last Saturday Emma got to see her 3rd favourite cartoon character, Mickey Mouse and friends. Her most favourite cast would be them from Toy Story (siap mengigau Woody) and second is Elmo.

The show started at 1.00 pm give or take 10 minutes, and ended around 3.00 pm. Started off with Mickey's car nreaking down, and then came the cast of Cars, which I'm not familiar with. I thought the Cars part of the show wad pretty lame, pasal takde pape pun, cuma 4 biji kereta pusing2 atas ais pastu drift sikit2. Whatever.




Lepas tu ada The Little Mermaid pulak. This was quite nice, as Emma and I could relate to the underwater creatures like the fishes lah, sea horse lah, octopus lah. Emma tak pernah tengok cerita ni lagi, and afterwards I went to Speedy to look for the DVD tapi depa takdak pulak.

After that it was time for The Lion King. Also thoroughly enjoyable, with the detailed costumes and beautiful skating. Didn't snap a lot of pictures as we were busy clapping hands, singing and gawking at the show. Kenalah excited nyanyi2 dan joget2 dengan Emma pasal kalau tak harus membazir duit duduk tegak je tengok macam tengok wayang pulak.

Then a short intermission and then came Tinkerbell. Quite boring in the beginning because I kept waiting for Peter Pan to show up, rupa-rupanya there's a show called Tinkerbell or Fairies or something. But the production was quite impressive, with a flying queen fairy.

The costumes were pretty elaborate, the sound system was great, not too loud but yet loud enough to understand, the skating routines while not Olympic grade was still spectacular and amazing!

So would I go again next year? Hehe probably no because Emma would be 3 this August dan kena beli separate ticket hehe and the baby would still be a baby to appreciate the show. However kalau ada Pixar on Ice hehe, then definitely!




Toodles!
