frozen kcg peas
minyak utk tumis
1) boil the potatoes.. bile dh empuk, toskan

3) dlm kuali/pan, tumis onion, garlic n ginger.
4) mskkan mine meat/chicken, kacau rata
5) add tomato sauce, oregano..(kalu xde oregano pun xpe)
6) add sugar n salt. taste to ur liking..
* kalu masih berkuah, tunggu samp die kering sket,its supposed to be a bit dry.
7) in a baking dish...letak mince meat mixture yg digoreng td (1st layer)8) pastu tabur kcg pis
* u can skip this if u dont like peas / dun have any peas in ur freezer)-2nd layer
9) pastu letak kentang yg dh dilenyek td - 3rd layer
10) tekan ngan garpu so that bile dah masak ader cam kuning2 sikit
11) masuk dlm preheated oven 180d-200d bake until potates ader nmpk golden2 sket

To all my friends n family in Msia...do come to my previous company's booth..
Griffon Holdings Sdn Bhd , at booth no 3150, level 1, at the Tun Razak 3 Hall in PWTC.
This year they'll be concentrating on children's book i.e Billy the Blue Bunny..
Its a good book..ive tried reading it to izzah n she learned a lot from the book..
Im not kidding ok...or else i wont be promoting here..hehehe
They are also selling t-shirts , ive seen the design on paper...it should be even more attractive on actual t-shirt.
Apart from that they'll be giving away cool prizes as lucky draws...so u might just have the chance to win those prizes... i cant remember all the prizes..but one of them are flat screen 32" TV..hahahaha..sapa yg tak nak weii!!!
so..do come to our booth...u wont regret it for life...i'll tell u that...
hmmm sedihnye...tahun lepas x dpt pegi sbb tgh pantang..thn ni lak kat perth...
im going to buy some n ask my sis-in-law to post it for me..(nanti ksue bayar ja)...nk kasi izzah baca kat sini...n to promote to my friends here during izzah's birthday party...(kalu jadi laa wat bday party tu or else its just us)
ooh for more info do visit their website www.griffonsky.com.my
ooh just wanna tell u guys..kat posting cooking fiesta tu nampak x bekas kecik remekins tu.....
hahaha nk beli mcm x reasonable je...yelah kang balik msia..berkotak2 pulak.ngan buku n baju2 lagi...dahla baru sebulan lebih ddk sini, god knows apa lagi yg i might find in future that i wanna bring back home..
i've noticed hubby has put aside some things under the sink cabinet which apparently was the previous tenant's..
so, apa lagi jadi inspector gadget laaa dok selongkar barang2 dlm tu hihihi...jumpa laa bekas pyrex bulat satu yg mahal sket kalu nk beli, 7 small remekins which i really wanted to buy, n penyukat ...which is absolutely great for baking...
i decided to make the sheperd's pie using the small remekins...hehehe happy nyer...eventhough kosong je xde design tp okla kan....
errrr tu jela cerita pasal remekins tu..hihihihi...sorila baru teringat nak cerita laaaa....
what happend to my cupcakes??? terlebih gula ke...cair sgt ke...isskkkk anyone with the expertise please help....im in the verge of making cupcakes...or maybe bcoz i didnt beat it, and simply whisk it...alaaa mixer belum beli lagi laaa...trying to find a cheap one...saw one in big W...$88, hmm thats too much too spend...
went to sunday market today n try finding one, but none were selling...
the taste is ok, cuma rupanye x menarik...cam penyek...!!! uwaaaa...cemane nih...apa lagi dig up more baking tips in the net..im fine with cakes...but muffin...hmm never tried to bake any of those..
btw...read about sufiah few days back in utusan online...did u read about her..what a tragedy!!! im really shocked n at the same a really BIG reminder for me...as i can really be such a panic person at times...
for these couple of days, i was accompanied by a little chef in the kitchen...who else other than my dear izzah..it felt like the room is too small for another chef in the kitchen...i kept getting mad when she comes in the kitchen pushing the chair just to stand next to me..
i was wrong..i shouldnt have done that to my daughter...i understand the feeling of rejection when all in our head was to help n learn new things..so i make room for her n create a fun learning environment was indeed an excellent idea
it wasnt easy..i can tell u that...with all the mess of cutting veggies, onion, meat...and entertaining a small 3 yr old girl who is eager to learn n try everything.
but it was worth the effort...it was..
few days back, izzah helped me prepared shepherd's pie...and today she helped me prepare making satay n choc cake.. hehe.... hoped she'll help me again..;)
ooooo where to start , where to start...banyak nyer mende nak citer...im such a chatterbox kan...well kadang2 la..kalu tetiba nk diam tu diam jugak..hihi..
well...daylight saving baru habis last week...so skrg maghrib kul 615pm...cant actually get the grip of the time yet...asyik nk start masak kul 5 lebih je..sbb ingat nk makan kul 7...when actually time is earlier by one hour...so got to start cooking earlier than that...adjust..adjust...adjust suriani!!!! (look im talking to myself again..hihihi)
to start off we've met more msian people here...which are more friendlier n willing to give a smile and say hello.. well actually i was quite unhappy during the first few weeks here coz..dahla xde kawan,,so nk wat la kwan kan...everytime jumpa muka cam melayu sket..wat dek je...soo sedeyla bile fellow msian wat camtu...asyik wat iklan colgate je tersengih kat orang, orang bkn pandang pun..last2 mat salleh aussie yg tegur...hmmmm xpelaaa okla tuuu!! aussie pun jadi...
i've also been reunited with one my close friends during uni years...noor hazarina hashim...we calld her nana....waaa bestnyer x terhingga bile dpt msej dlm friendster knowing she's here in perth....
she's also happy to know im here...we've never met for about 7 yrs i think...tapi so far we've only been in contact thru emails...lum jumpa lagi..maybe during sem break..
dun wanna disturb her n also hubby...masing2 sibuk ngan assignmnet, thesis n exams.
izzah currently kept calling me mom..oh my...cepatnye anak aku jadi anak aussie...
that's what tv can do to you!! kept telling her..mama bukan mom...die pun ckp mama...pastu gelak...!! pagi2 bangun when im not in her sight...siap cari lagi...mom..mom...where r u mom.... hubby siap nak tergelak dengar...!!
syirah will always be with her sister...kakak die main block die pun sama...kakak die buat puzzle..die tolong sepahkan puzzle yg kakak die wat..kakak die main kat luar die tukang tgk je..join jgn harap..so far syirah kalu kat luar umah..jejak tanah pun x nak... hihihi...well that's our airiani..penyeri kehidupan kami...
i am trying to teach izzah to talk in english..so that she can understand what ppl are talking to her..esp when we're in supermarket and chit chatting with our neighbour.. its a pity she cant respond to what they're saying...hmmmm..she can understand vocabs..but to speak in a full sentence, not yet...
