Happy New Year 2010!!!

Year 2009 is ending soon and the new year will be arriving. Every year I will look forward towards the new year but somehow this year I don't. So much has happened and I think this is the most exciting year of my life. I'm going to miss it very much.


My mini 3 year-old Xmas tree

Anyway Christmas past by quickly. Well, gotta wait for another year before Christmas will be here again. I think Christmas is the best time to show all your loved ones how much you care for them. If you don't tell them that you love them, when can you isn't it.


Home-made Tortilla

I celebrated Christmas Eve at home with Doink preparing some great Mexican Food. It's a wonderful evening as this is the first time where we celebrated Christmas at our own home. I made fajitas and I remembered the first time I prepared this was also during Christmas 4 years ago. Wow, that's quite a long time ago...


Chicken Fajitas

I love making my own fajitas because I can be generous with the cheese, salsa and sourcream. *yummy* And I'm usually very greedy coz I will putting loads of stuffing and make myself a big fat fajitas...


Time to feast

I haven't really got the chance to discover the spices in the meat mixture so I ended up buying a packet of fajitas spices. Totally simple to prepare and of course Doink and I totally love it. To be honest, I'm just lazy to figure it out. But then I made my own tortillas.. So I guess I can be forgiven for being lazy... *cheeky smily*


See how lovely my tiny xmas tree is...

Well, I have more food to share with you next. But anyway, it's nearly time to say goodbye to year 2009 and welcome 2010. Happy New Year to all my readers and I hope it would be a better year, bringing joy, wealth and good health to all of us. As for me, hopefully I will get to achieve the goals & targets that I have set for year 2010.

Meatballs

How can one not love meatballs? I personally love it a lot and of course it's Doink's favourite since he is a meat lover. I had tried beef, pork and chicken meatballs. So this time, i decided to try lamb instead. And I absolutely love the taste.

It's pretty simple to prepare these delicious meatballs. Just mix the minced lamb, breadcrumbs/semolina, egg, chopped onions salt and a little pepper. Then shape the mixture into balls and pan fry it on the pan. These meatballs can be eaten on its own.

However, I decided to make it into lamb pasta with cream sauce. It's quite a simple dish to prepare and it's really a satisfying dinner. Doink simply enjoyed it while I'm a happy person discovering another great recipe.

Well, another 2 days before Christmas arrives. Usually every year I'm kinda excited to go to different malls to look at the Christmas decorations and to take some pictures. However, I think I'm kinda lazy this year coz I had not taken any pictures so far. So here is one picture I stole online.

Anyway, Cutie, teddies and Colonel Sanders would like to wish you all a Happy Christmas!!! Hopefully everyone will be getting tons of beautiful gifts and share all the joy and happiness with their loved ones.

Melaka Trip - April 2009

This is a delayed post. I was supposed to blog about it months ago. I specially need to thank my good friend Jason Mumbles for providing me a free hotel stay in Melaka. I actually forgot which hotel is it... hehe... Well, an excuse to go take a break for a day and of course food hunting. *lol*

This is Jason. A very nice guy but he is taken already...

I didn't do much over there. I met up with Jason of course. How could I possibly go to Melaka not seeing my good friend. He brought me to this mamak place where they serve really good naan. I think it was triple cheese naan. Ooh, that's sinful but I have gotta say it's the best naan I ever had. The tandoori chicken is good as well. Where is it? *scratching head* I don't know, gotta ask Jason.

Of course he brought me to savour the mille crepe as well but then I somehow find that it's not as good as the first time I ever had it. I'm not sure whether I had shared this story about how I know Jason. I think it's good to write it down here so that 10 years down the road if I forgot about it, I have something to refresh my memory again.




In 2007, I just started blogging not long ago and I came across someone's else blog talking about mille crepe (I was interested in it then and wanted to try it so badly) and mentioning that Jason do deliver Mille Crepe all the way from Melaka to KL. Of course I quickly searched for him and started asking him whether he still do deliver these mille crepe. And he delivered the mille crepe to me and that's how I know him. It was also him who introduced me to Nuffnang and got me to be more active in blogging. Ever since then we became good buddies. I remembered he was really touched that there was a time I packed readily some fried rice, muffins and cookies for him to bring back to Melaka... Yeah, that's because he asked for it at my blog. *lol*. But nowadays I don't get a chance to make any good food for him. I think the last round I made some pandan muffins for him but unfortunately I think it was not meant for him. Coz we were trying to meet up before he goes back to Melaka but for some reason he couldn't contact me. Also he wanted to pass to me Salted Chicken the other day and he complained that he couldn't contact me. I think we have been unlucky in meeting up recently.

So where was I? Ya, Melaka trip. Got carried away talking about Jason. Of course going there, I just gotta eat the Chicken Rice Ball and their Cendol. Well, let the picture do the talking. Nothing much though but just wanted to write a little about it to thank my dear friend. Appreciate it a lot... So when do I get the next free hotel stay again... *cheeky smile*

Getting ready to eat while waiting for Doink to take picture. I'm starving...

Definitely an enjoyable trip. Simple and nice without much stress. Wait, I did stress up coz we got lost in Melaka town. *lol* Jason, when are we meeting up again? Don't forget me after having a girlfriend k. =)

Gingerbread Man

I think I owe an apology to all my blog readers. I have disappeared myself for quite a while. Yeah, and I guess I'm trying to get back into blogging again. I hope I won't be missing in action again. Hehe...

Anyway, this time of the month is my favourite. This is because Christmas is just around the corner. It's my favourite event of the year. I specially love the decorations, lightings, christmas trees, santa, reindeer, anything and everything about Christmas. It would be even better celebrating white xmas with my other half though I never got the chance.



I have been cooking and baking but nothing extraordinary. Anyway, I have finally made my gingerbread man for the first time. I think I have been telling myself to make this for years but somehow didn't manage to and finally this year I managed to do so. The first time I ever had it was when I was working in Greggs in UK. We used to sell this throughout the year. Of course when Xmas is around the corner, we will be selling other shapes like Xmas tree and reindeer. I fell in love with the taste. Even today, I still miss the food in Greggs.

It's in fact pretty simple to make and these gingy are so adroable. No wonder kids just love it. Don't they look just so adorable? *Feeling like a big kid* I still remember Gingy in the movie Shrek. That gingerbread man is definitely one of the cutest of all I had ever seen. I still love that movie a lot.

Gingy from The Shrek


My own version of Gingy

Guess I'm satisfied with my cravings for these gingy at the moment. What's next? Hmm.. not too sure as well... Will let you know when I figure out. Have a great weekend.
