GAPinfant section..(the salesperson was so friendly..nak kata pompuan, mcm laki..taktau laa)

3.threw a couple of hundreds at IKEA just to make sure our house is complete with cute+essential stuffs that we can afford to buy..IKEA is really a place for nice n yet cheap things..thank Q IKEA...the checklist should be prepared before you stepped into IKEA (another cheap tips from me...overspent!!)

while we were in Melaka, toyolrock (a fren of my jejaka) brought us to the Banda Hilir Melaka, Masjid Terapung and a few interesting places around Melaka. i managed to get myself a lovely hat!! met with a few more photographers, marcia, the d200 boy, and another 4 whom i cant recall their names. the stairs were phewwwww.... really took our breath away...penatt panjat...but it was fun..visited the Dataran Pahlawan which was suppose to be historical but it turned up to be just another stretch of shop lots..wat a shame..

Note: can't wait for another holiday getaway....

::our BBQ session::

it was saturday the 2nd, February 2008...we both decide to throw a small BBQ for bang own n family(plus the 'lil spiderman+adik an)...mom helped me at the market..
i managed to prepare the chickens, prawns, squids, coleslaw etc on my own :) ~ kinda proud..

some simple recipes i prepared for the guests ( 20 pax)

AYAM PERCIK

1 whole chicken (approximately 3.5 kg) - cut into 16 pieces
1 stalk of medium size galangal ~this shall give you pungent aroma
1 stalk of medium size lemon grass
8 red chillies - seeded
2 tblspoon of tumeric powder
salt to taste
juice from 5 limau kasturi~trust me, this will makes a lot of difference...the aroma!!!

how i did it?
1. Blend the ingredients (except for the chicken)
2. Marinate together with the chicken for at least 2 hours (the longer the better it'll taste)

INSTANT AYAM TANDOORI

1 whole chicken (approximately 3.5 kg) - cut into 16 pieces
3 tblspoons of yogurt
juice from 5 limau kasturi
1 packet of Maggi Tandoori Chicken powder >>>hehehhehe..how easy

how i did it?
1. Blend the ingredients (except for the chicken)
2. Marinate together with the chicken for at least 2 hours (the longer the better it'll taste)

BBQ SQUIDS+PRAWNS

1 kg of squids
1 kg of prawns
salt to taste ~ remember not to put much as squids+prawns are salty on their own
fresh ground black pepper (coarsely ground)

how i did it?
1. Clean the squids(take out the 'eye' and the ink)+prawns (cut off the 'mustache')
2. Marinate with salt+pepper for at least 2 hours.

COLESLAW (a recipe given by my sister)

600 gm of cabbage-finely sliced
2 carrots (medium size)-finely sliced
15 tblspoons of mayonnaise
3 tblspoons of sugar

how i did it?
1. Whisk the mayonnaise and sugar for 5 minutes (to dilute the sugar)
2. Mix the mayonnaise+cabbage+carrot well.
3. Refrigerate and serve cool.

NOTE i dont like using the slicer because i find the cabbage+carrot are not fine enough, so i finely sliced using sharp knife... puas hati!


:) there goes for the nite...happy guests and happy me! ;)
