Food and family.

My aunt, grandma and cousins on my dad's side came over for the weekend and we had a mini feast for both nights. This pictures may be backdated, especially for those who followed me on twitter and instagram because that's where I post things 80% of the time, but for those who don't, here they are! 

  Saturday Night: Mama Yam cooked sedap and pedas Mee Goreng and made awesome Potato Salad, in fact she made a portion so huge, we had it for 3 straight days and.. Didn't get bored of it one bit! (Y) As usual, Mom cooked Asam Pedas Ikan Pari (my all time favourite) and some beans vege with meat (simple AND still, good). Mama Yam fried a whole lot of Cempedak Goreng! Would have been better if it was hot but there was almost no time to re-heat it all as it was near break fast time. Dad made Chendol too! Last but not least, TANG YUAN! Yes those adorable red and pink balls are simply lovely. I've always wanted to try it out but never got the chance, till last Saturday that is. Anyway, to "spice" things up, I added in Sprite! Haha it taste better actually! :P

Sunday Night: I wanted to eat Kuih Nagasari so much! Okay let me be specific, perhaps for 4 years. I bought the Hoon Kueh flour(4 years ago) but didn't use it till it actually expires! HAHAHA. Dad helped to get the ingredients and.. I made/cooked it, FROM SCRATCH. It's actually damn easy but when the mixture starts to get cooked, it curdles so fast that you have to keep stirring till you hands bleed. HAHA k sorry drama mama abit. Anyway, you get my point. But whatever it is, I was happy with the end result! 

Split the batter into 2 and made Kuih Jongkong as requested by Dad. It's similar to Nagasari but only the filling is different, it's gula melaka instead of banana. :) Hardest part for this was the wrapping up of it into the "proper" shape. Didn't get to master it but I'm sure (I hope) I'll have time to do again in the future.

 Imagine.. Waking up at 5 am for sahur aka pre-dawn meal and when you checked your handphone, you see such a comment?!?! I admit, I was a little starstruck. Hahaha but all's good because my whole objective was to get the right words. Aku, Kau dan Dia, was worth my time watching and erm.. Crying. Hahaha I'm giving it a 3.8/5. It would have been better if the lead actress was someone else though because the current was almost expressionless? Or perhaps she simply didn't play her character well? Or it's not easy acting it out? IDK and IDC. Lol. Oh well, that's just my 2 cents. ;)

I have a thousand and one cravings when I'm fasting and it's worse if the time of the month is coming, which btw perhaps coming in a few days time. Mine's always the first week of every month and I dread it so so much! :(
