Kitchen Oh Kitchen


My kitchen definitely still in the transition process. The base was done..but the door and upper cabinets still in hole. My oven, cooking hob n hud stood under the concrete cabinet a week now hehe..So how am i suppose to cook ?? The answer should be "makan luar la apa lagi" lol. Yup it will take one step to another to fill this empty house. If we're millionaire it shouldn't be a big hurdle right? I mean the $$$$ wise. In fact most of the basic stuffs for the house were occupied. I couldn't be more grateful and happier than this. Alhamdulillah.

Weekend Update !!!!


Hola, been away for a while..now i'm blogging live from my new humble crib. Me, waiting for the grill men doing their last work on my house. The house seems very dusty albeit the floor cleaning processes took place last weekend. Hate it when you step onto the floor and and you still can feel the dust stuck on your feet. Guess it will be a never-ending chores for me then..mopping, cleaning and cleaning again huhu.

Ok little upadate on my schedule last weekend:

My time was fully occupied with house cleaning on saturday and sunday as well.

Me fulfilling cake and cuppies order from my friend who tied the knot last sunday. Alhamdulillah managed to bake and decorate my first fondant cake ..I think it was a success for an amature like me hehe :). My mum helped me a lot with the ideas and she even assisted me "sepit" the fondant to shape it into a flower look a-like. So enjoy the pictures :)



Look at those tiny little fondant flowers on the edge of the cake..my mum did that. Comel kan???

Chocolate Apple Crumble



This was my baking project lastweek. Considering I've the ingredients (not thet complete though. hehe) in my pantry, the process wasn't difficult at all. Cooking and baking are like an art, you are free to dwell with it. Who cares if it turns upside-down albeit the taste is something you can't resist. It's all about experimenting with your inner creativity and translate it on a piece of decent plate for you and your loved one. Yes, baking and cooking are some sort of therapy for me, whenever I'm in a gloomy mode, I'll just switch on my baking mode to make myself smile :)
Ok, here it goes how to make a simple and decent chocolate apple crumble ..my version yea !!! :)

1. Peel the apples and cut into chunks (smaller chunks if you want)


2. Sprinkle over coarse brown sugar and mix it well


3. Chocolate chunk instead of blackberries or raspberry


4. Mix the crumble and put on top of the bowl (comprises butter, coarse sugar and flour)


5. Baked in the oven for 25 min-30 min max and served with thickend cream
