Taste Restaurant, Bandar Baru Bangi

This is what happen when you've got nowhere else to eat for lunch in Bangi. I mean, we're always stuck at one restaurant for the rest of the week just because there's only two restaurants nearby our office. Heck we start the engine and hop-off to try somewhere new. A place that is decent for...ehemmm dating? Yes, we never had enough. So I said, if we want to have western, then I really want to try out this restaurant. I've been eye-ing the restaurant ever since they've put their signboard on. Not to mention they even came out in the monthly advertisement booklet that we get. This restaurant must be something, I guess.

Taste Restaurant. I so like the font, they really have got taste. Go and like their FB page here

Owh yes, since we went there late, hence we missed out their promotion for lunch which is valid only from 12pm-3pm. Sigh, or else I might be enjoying the free-flow Teh O Ais. I didn't manage to capture the banner, but I do get a snap of this :

Their special menu.

When we entered the restaurant, we know that this is the place that we really want. Quiet, cozy and comfortable. Perhaps maybe we're the only one whose late for lunch.

Loving the blue color!

Checking out the menu.

Can't decide which menu to choose since there are lots of varieties from pasta-noodles-western-malay and etc.

 Miss Lulu sure wants to have a grip of anything in-front of her.

Look, she can't sit still. Naseb pakai baju sama warna. hehe

Delicious. Will try their Pandan Layer Cake later.

In the meantime, while waiting for our order, we had the taste of their carrot cake.

RM5.00 per slice.

He can't get enough of it. Next time we won't share ok? Hehe

Then, time for the main course.

Hubby had Nasi Beriyani. He always go for Nasi Beriyani.

Nasi Beriyani - RM13.00

Mine - Chicken Mushroom.

RM13.90

Definitely finger licking. The chicken is so crispy!

As for Lulu, she had this:

What else? My milk-shake of course. And that's for free. Hehe.

I was full then and got him to finish it.

It was a lovely dining experience so all in all, we think that we might come again and give a "taste" of their other menus. Thumbs-up.

p/s: Owh by the way, did i mention anything about this friendly lady? Go there, their service are good :) Keep it up.

I just don't care

Being a mummy is hard. At times people will see you as the bad mummy. Often you get questions from others

"She looks thin."
"Tak bagi makan ke?"  0.455g (OMG Lulu just type that!!0.455g - exactly timing for weight discussion!)

Learn to accept what people think, let them call you the "bad mummy".

I. DON'T. EVEN. CARE!

I just think my baby is healthy and wonderful. Full-stop.

HAPPY NEW YEAR Y'ALL!!

I hope everyone is in their very best condition to start the new year with, new resolutions to accomplish. Every first move will be remembered for the rest of their lives. People get married, loved, breakups, born and not to forget some will leave us behind. It's the date that everyone wants to write a memory on.

010111

The very first day of the year - is the very first move for all of us.- quoted by me! hehe

As for Lulu, I mean as off today, she'll be starting her solid food! God she's getting big and bigger everyday. It's kinda weird but I don't like the feeling of giving her something else besides my milk. hahaha I can't wait her reaction to this. I know I've said before that perhaps I'll be starting off around 7-8m. But now she's like 6m and 15days, I thought maybe that wouldn't be a harm. hehe

At 6ix :)

Hello y'all. What's up?  This is a short post with super duper heavy pictures!

Let's move on to the next picture shall we?

 Lulu was 6m last 18th December, but we've decided to start giving her puree/solid food only when  she reach 7-8m. I have no say against mummies who start exploring the babies with early food in-take. Heck even my granny started to give porridge to her babies during her confinement days. I guess I know what's best for my baby. We all  mummies do, right? Nevertheless, we do accept other people's advise. Only that ,certain points maybe just need to be listened rather than putting it on action. 

Exactly 23rd December ago, we tried introducing her to Zam Zam - her first drink ever, just to see her reactions towards accepting it. Some positive signs showed, not like always when I tried to put my Express Breast-milk (EBM) she totally would just let them all out again. She drank like 2ml only, and more like nibbling the end of the teat. Sometimes she choked and said enough I-don't-want-any look. Hehe. She's getting cheekier and active day by day, a lot more of playing around. Will not focus when breastfeeding with people talking surrounding her (read: especially Aunty Sheya), she will turn and just wont sit still. More to like joing the conversation. 

 

Ehem-ehemmmm

I don't want!!

Push the bottle out and trying to get up

 

When I wake up every morning, I'll give my mummy and ayah a blurry face and smile.....

 

 

Bluekk :p

Happy Holiday Y'all

Ikan Tenggiri Masak Kerutup

Hubby said he has not been eating for 3 days.

Crap, I know.

What he really means that he hasn't been eating my cook and he wants me to cook. These past few days, I was a bit of lazy bum bum wife, more to keeping myself up with the "Hakimis". Haha if only you know what I'm trying to express yada yada :p I've got sore throat with heavily-mentally-coughs that I really want to let everything out from my tummy. At times, I feel kinda "loya" and thought maybe I'm not pregnant, kan? (p/s : stop the wild gossip of me getting pregnant, had enough of it).

At about 7.50pm, I'm busy in the kitchen with hubby helping around, like taking care of the Lulu, washed the dishes, cut the onions and even "tumbuk" the chili padi. I've decided to cook "Ikan Tenggiri Masak Kerutup" (because I'm missing my Ibu - ayah I know you're reading this, send my regards to Ibu muahhhhh) and "Sayur Sawi Jepun Goreng Cili Padi dengan Udang Kering" (was actually running out of belacan)

That's our dinner! Very big portion indeed, sayang.

Without further elaboration, I present you my Ibu's delicious recipe. Who doesn't like mother's cooking, kan? Kalau yang tak suka tu, maybe mungkin kerana mak dia tak masak kot??Haha, kidding!

The ingredients :

2-3 red onions

3-4 garlic

about half an inch of ginger

and also half an inch of tumeric

6-8 bird's eye chili (depends, if you're not the spicy type, then just leave it behind)

Blend all the above ingredients

1 stalk of lemongrass. (smash it a bit to let the taste/aroma out)
3-5 tbsp of blended chili
about one and a half cup of coconut milk
1-2 piece of "asam keping"
season with salt and sugar

Meanwhile, deep fry the fish until the corners turned crispy-brown and set aside. Heat the oil in the wok, add in the mix-blended ingredients along with the lemon grass and let it stir fry for a while until fragrant. Next add in the blended chili and coconut milk. Again, stir fry until it fragrant and you can see the oil boiled. Season it with sugar, salt and asam keping and leave the it for a while to dry a little bit, then only you add in the fish that you have set aside before. Now the dish is ready.

Simply finger licking!

As for the "Sayur Sawi Jepun Goreng Cili Padi/Udang Kering", I bet the pictures are enough to tell because it's just a simple dish that everyone knows how to do it.

Heat the wok and throw in the sliced onions altogether with the smashed cili padi/udang kering

Stir fry and add in the sayur sawi jepun

Voila, ready to eat!

Owh by the way, the post will be incomplete if I didn't share at least a  picture of my dear Lulu :

Ain't that super duper cute...awwwwwwww *melting*

Do you wanna know the end result? 

Freaking gone!
