Lunch Box #2 : Streaky Beef Wrap

Star Q

i.  Walk The Talk Or Just Walk Away

ii.  Satu Lagi Kes

I have completed the six-day non-obligatory fasting during the month of Syawal.  So, this morning it was back to thinking of what to bring (tapow!) for brunch at school.  It's a good thing we just came back from Seremban yesterday and had stopped by Jusco 2 (now AEON) and Seremban 2 Tesco, where I managed to get some of my favorite things!

ii.  Pre-U Raya Open House

There comes a time when you come to a mental block and you simply cannot think of anything to cook.  With picky eaters (like one of my kids), cooking is always a challenge to the point that you give up thinking about what to cook.  So, when all else fail, the missus and I would usually resort to something simple.  Sometimes simple works best!

More Fruit Tartlets

ii.  Pre-U Raya Open House

I had a fun time making these.  As usual I had made the shells earlier (two days earlier) and last night I made the custard.  This morning, I assembled the fruit tartlets and delivered them to a friend who ordered them.  Sounds simple even though the making is quite tedious.  

Brownies with Chocolate Topping

ii.  Pre-U Raya Open House

I'm not good at making brownies, I must confess.  But when my sister called saying that she and her family of eight were coming over for Raya, I immediately thought of making these brownies.  These are quite different from the ones I have made before.  These ones are softer and moist while the ones before were a bit crunchier and crispier around the edges!

Watermelon Infused Pineapple Juice

ii.  Pre-U Raya Open House

It's been a hot few days and fasting during Eid when every body is eating and drinking merrily to their hearts' content is an awesome challenge.  I have decided to do the non-obligatory six-day fasting during Eid and I have four more days to go!  Seeing my colleagues drink and eat, got me to thinking about this juice that I made for Iftaar during Ramadan.

Beef Dendeng

i.  A Matter Of Time Management

ii.  Pre-U Raya Open House

This year's Raya celebrations has been a busy one with guests coming over almost every day (Thank God, they came in small groups!)  It was not much of a challenge trying to think of dishes to prepare for our guests.  In fact, I enjoyed thinking of and preparing menus for them.  I can't say the same for the missus because she is the one who spends most of the time in the kitchen!

Pineapple Coconut Puddings

Star Q

i.  Is It Really Negaraku?

ii.  Learning To Be Safe Drivers

This is one of the puddings I made for Iftaar during this year's Ramadan.  I am not apologizing for this late entry because as with other desserts, this pudding can also be prepared for any other occasion!  I have been wanting to try this recipe ever since I saw it in the June issue of New Idea, mainly because the dessert uses many local ingredients.
