Nasi lemak, anyone : ) ?

It is 2.48am and I am hungry. Craving for
for food of course, what else : ) Goodness me.
I thought about the leftover Banana Oatmeal
Fritters I made yesterday morning. But I was thinking something savoury. Suddenly
I remembered I had nasi lemak at the airport
two months ago. Clif and I was at the airport early morning - it was a big sacrifices for him to get up early as he is not a morning person like me. My mom, dad and sister was off for their vacation together for the first time. It was mom and dad first vacation together and first trip to Kuala Lumpur too. When they came back from their trip, dad was so excited about his experiences. I was so jealous by the way, since I never been to Gentings and ride that cable car or whatever-lah you call them, and dad was like oh we went to this place and that place, and we ride that hanging-car etc.

Oh .. back to my craving for food ... I remembered we sat down together for breakfast and I had a big plate of Nasi Lemak. I was very impressed with presentation and just because I think I had a bad experienced once. The nasi was just the right taste, the sambal was nice-ly pedas, well the telur rebus was a bit overcooked but the chicken wing really compliment the nasi and sambal. Crispy and yum. Clif said if I don't look for food, food will be looking for me : ) I guess he is right especially, yes, I love nasi lemak and I am a sucker for a good nasi lemak. Another place to should try for nasi lemak is the makan place at Damai. The shop selling roti khawin-lah. Or Kak Nong at Beverly Hills area. But if you wants a 'just right' nasi lemak, Terminal 2 airport could be the right place for you : ) Gosh I can believe this it is early morning and I craving for food. What? No! Yes. NO! Yes, sure and positive! I am not whatever I am just hungry that all. I am going to bed. Eeemm... nasi lemak for breakfast tomorrow morning?

Banana Oatmeal Fritters ?


I bought some pisang raja last week. This morning they are almost too ripe to make pisang goreng. So I end up making them into Banana Oatmeal Fritters. Well, I thought oatmeal is good for the heart so may be if I mixed them together with the mashed bananas and some flour and fried them I will get to eat my oatmeal. They tastes good and yummy-licious for an afternoon snack. But I have mine for breakfast and it is still filling and yum-yum.
2 cups self-raising flour
1 cup instant oatmeal
1 cup milk
5 ripe banana (mashed)
oil for deep fried cooking.
Try making this recipe and see if you like them : )

Not an Orange Banana Cake : )


Orange Banana Cake?
Seriously? Naaah : ) I am just kidding but I might try making them next time.

I am not a big fan of oranges not even limau manis. Someone in the office is going to celebrate her birthday this weekend. So the office asked me to bake her a cake. I said ok I will bake her banana walnut cake but later on I realise that almost everyweek I will bring a loaf of banana walnut cake to the office. I found an Orange Crumble Loaf in one of my old magazine sometimes ago and I really would like to try them. But as usual I am not good at following any cake recipes. Most of the time my baking will end up into something else : )


My sister used to get really annoyed with my cooking because I will always find a reason to add something else into the recipe or substitute the ingredient. Cooking remain me of my childhood day, we used to played 'masak-masak' under my parents old house. I always wants to try something new, like 'jambu batu goreng' or 'ubi kayu bakar'. My childhood friends sometimes think I am a little bit weird but I can't help it I guess. And since my mom and my sister are good cooks I often end up doing the dishes which is fine with me. Sometimes I do get the opportunity to cook but either they are not enough salt or too salty, too sweet, over cooked or this or that. So, I stick to what I do best, washing dishes : )

Now that I have all the times and opportunity to cook or to bake, not only I can cook and bake whatever recipe I like but I also can improvising a recipe, like turning an Orange Crumble Loaf into Orange Cake with Orange Sauce : )

What do you think of my new cake?
