This year Ramadhan feel so short.  You blink and it's over.  So I decided to continue fasting for 6 days in Syawal.  These 6 days is not a must to fast but it's recommended to fast.

Whoever fasts these six days will have recorded for him a reward as if he had fasted a whole year, as was reported in a sahih hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).

So fast lah no harm fasting extra more days since the momentum is still there. Sooo ...  yesterday was the 6th day and today is RAYA SAKAN!!!!!

What's the menu for today? Jeng ... Jeng ... Jeng ...

Birthday

Ibu 58th Birthday.  Wow! 58 oleidie and she has not been given the purple EZlink card.  What this?! They should start giving the senior citizen at the age of 50 ok.  They SHOULD! They MUST!  Anyway ... It was a success.  I attempted to cook 4 dishes and out of the 4 dishes, 3 were 1st time.  

Alhamdulillah it when well.  Tiring but it's a good tired.

This year we have 6 adults in our family. And in a few months time a new addition to the family.  Everyone is very excited.  Ibu cannot decide what the baby should call her Nenek? Nyayi? Oma? My brother also Papa, Ayah or Daddy-O but whatever it is we are very excited on the arrival of the newborn.

She is so mental.  She wanted a photo of her "action-action" cut cake.  I took soooo many photos of this cos she had to close her eyes when I snapped. Beside her is Nek Asmah her BFF I guess.

My ibu loves messy and berdechet chocolate cake.  You can't go wrong with chocolate origin's cakes.  There's only 2 option Original or Dark chocolate. This is sooooo a good choice.

Feasting.  Breaking fast together.  When I told her, she do not need to cook.  Guess where I get my stubborn-ness from ... She still cook lor.  Lucky only 1 dish if not we will have problem finishing the dishes.

If I'm not sincere, I don't even bother. #justsaying #takmarahannoyedje

Daging masak Hitam

I am always curious how it taste like.  So I decided to try this recipe.  And it also compliment my rice.  Azie is another favourite blogger of mine.  So talented lah kan.  The first time I heard about this dish was on tv.  I was watching Best in the World on AFC.  And Razif the host had Prata with Daging masak Hitam if not wrong somewhere in Perak.

The taste not bad lah.  But I think if I cook longer with a different kind of cut sure power lah.

Roti John Serunding Cheese

Do I look like I'm that creative? No. I got this idea from my mom and my mom got this idea from her besan.  Interesting and hilarious.  It just tickled me as the main ingredient is serunding. This is when you are lazy to prepare the meat lah kan.

And surprisingly the mister oso like it.  I tweak abit the recipe cos my mom did not put mayo in hers.  I put cos I want the serunding to stick on the bread.  Sooo clever alahai... 

Roti John Serunding Cheese ala Mystyle

Ingredients:

Bread (can be any bread, square, loaf, bun)

Mayo (optional)

Eggs

Cheese (I used mozzarella)

Serunding (meat, chicken, fish, plain)

Methods:

I used hotdog bun.  I cut it on the side not all the way thru.  

Spread mayo thinly and sprinkle generous amount of serunding on it.

Heat a non-stick pan.  whisked egg and pour it in the pan not too much enuf to cover 2 buns.

Put the bun on the egg with the serunding facing down.

Once the egg is cook flip it.

Add mozzarella cheese onto it and fold the bun into half.

Let it be in the pan for a while just for the mozzarella cheese to melt.

Can serve it just like that or cut into half.

I brought this stack of Roti John Serunding Cheese to my BIL's place across the road.  It was a hit with the kids. A nice and simple dish to prepare.

Nasi Sambal Goreng

It's Friday! It's Friday! It's finally Friday!  I am excited much cos I'm challenging myself to a heavy ifTHOR (yup I still couldn't let go of THOR!!!) Heeh...

So today is the quest of cooking Nasi Sambal Goreng.  I think its the husband  favourite.  Erm I can't make out his expression. Anyway this NSG is alot of work sey.  I went cold storage during lunch yesterday.  Got some of the stuff I need.  After breakfast, I went to the cold storage at compasspoint (heh almaklum da raya) Disappointed okay supermarket so big run out of dried chillies, tempeh, fresh chicken breast and minced meat. So I took the train to NTUC to get the rest of the stuff. (Kecoh weeeei I went 3 supermarkets in 1 day sheeesh) and NTUC run out of TEMPEH!!!! ok I give up ... the sambal goreng shall have no tempeh.

So I when home and marinate my chicken and fry dry the mince meat and keep in the fridge.

Here is my Nasi Goreng Sambal Set.  Quite a hearty meal hor.  Food Coma lah after that.  Lucky its Friday the tarawih here is 8 rakaats.

Anyway, I did manage to put tempeh in my Sambal Goreng.  The husband went all the way to geylang market to buy.

So ta-daa ... tempeh! Nie star ingredient nie so must have lah kan.  But if you don't like tempeh can always omit it lah.  The husband don't eat paru so I did not put any paru in here.

Here's my plate a bit of everything.  The serunding was also store-bought from geylang market cos the husband is hantu serunding.  He bought 2 types.

Begedil

Ingredients:

2 medium-sized russet potatoes
¼ cup cooked minced beef (seasoned with a little cumin or just salt and pepper)
¼ cup crispy fried shallots
¼ cup spring onion, sliced thinly
2 eggs
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground white pepper
oil for frying

Peel and boil the potatoes. Mash the potato and add the beef, shallots and spring onion. Season with the salt and pepper. Mix well and shape into balls about 2 inches wide. Roll the balls well between your palms to ensure that the patties are compact and will remain intact when frying. Press the balls so they flatten a little on two sides. At this stage, you can freeze them. Do not defrost when you are ready to eat them - fry direct from the freezer.

Beat the eggs in a bowl. Heat oil to medium heat. Dip each patty in egg before frying them. After about 3-4 minutes, turn them over and fry until golden brown.

Makes 18-20.

Use a good quality Mozzarella Cheese!

• then take a generous amt of filling and layer it on top of the lined potato mixture
• cover it with mozzarella cheese
• take the remaining mixed potatoes and cover the filling
• dot the top with butter (I have none left hahha)
• add generous amt of mozzarella cheese on top.

Bake it for abt 10min on a pre-heat oven of 190C or until the cheese has melted and turn golden brown
