It Is Glorious

It is about food actually. Glorious food.

First.

I decided to make laksa (although in fact nobody at home like it all that much..); I desperately want to try the nyonya style laksa recipe for so long. The recipe calls for fresh tumeric and so in goes the tumeric, right? Wrong, actually. The kuah laksa turned yellow (of course no surprises there because of the tumeric). When the laksa was served, everybody had to ask the obvious, ma kenapa kuah laksa ni kuning? Humphf.. Jadi kena cari resipi lain untuk laksa nyonya style. Some help here please, anyone? 

Then.

This is some candy-like treat from Japan. Almost like tart nenas (but the filling was not pineapple). Or mochi. Sweet. I like the sakura shape. And this is only available in spring in Japan.

Also.

Somebody celebrated his birthday recently. For that we bought a pecan cheese cake made by Aeda. Sedaaap. Never seen this much pecan on any cake before. It has got caramel topping too. Yumm.  
 
After that.

The children said, dah lama tak makan lepat. And, kalau beli lepat kat luar tak sedap - kadang2 keras atau takde kelapa. Atau kelapa tak fresh (I mean come on, would any mum miss big hints like that?)  Saya kurang suka buat sebab kerja lepat ni agak remeh - bab kena layur daun, potong dan lap pulak daun tu. Then kena bungkus lagi.. They said ok, we'll help. So voilà, this is our lepat. Seriously sedap.

Later.

Ada orang nak belanja lunch last weekend. And we said yeay!

Have a good weekend!
