Ramadan Power

Warning: sorta religious post ahead. HAHA. I know, even I am not used to such things :D

Came to work and they're playing Quran recitation over the PA system. Weird much. It's almost 9 already!

But I'm looking forward to tadarus later, if there is one. Yesterday I joined in and I'm ashamed to say that I'm such a lousy Quran reciter. Shame shame. Made so many mistakes. But thankfully the other colleagues were encouraging. Truth be told, since I've moved out of my dad's house, I haven't really recited Quran much. I know I know, what a setan I am. Hah. So I think I shall start again. I need such pushes.

Today is quite the "Islam" day. Not only am I psyched to recite, I'm also looking forward to Happy Hour. Instead of the usual games & sports, for Ramadan, they have organised for us Quran classes with Ust Zulkiflee Bachik. Yay! Looking forward to that :)

Today is day 5 of Ramadan. Alhamdulillah fasting has been easier than expected for me. My mum calls it Ramadan power. Previously when I paid back fasting over the past months, it was really a trying time, with constant dizzy spells I assume arises from dehydration. I'm very very thankful for being able to fast and still provide milk for my baby boy. The only thing I'm missing out is terawih prayers. InsyaAllah when my little angel is more manageable next year, I'll be able to go to the mosque. Right now even child minding services won't do for him.

Okay now to work everyone!

Bubur Asyura

Finally made this! Have been wanting to do so cos this porridge has loads of nuts. Not exactly a healthy porridge though since there's coconut milk. I already have most of the ingredients and had the time, so why not! I realise there's different types of bubur Asyura but I settled for the one closest to us, the Johor version . There's a lottt of ingredients, so I'll list in order of which goes into the pot first. I also boiled the mutton a day earlier so I can collect and throw away the fat from the stock. Bubur Asyura Saute: 1 stalk lemongrass 1 cinnamon stick 1 star anise 3 cardamoms 5 cloves 2 big onions, sliced 1 inch ginger, sliced 3 garlic, sliced 10 cups water (half is mutton stock, half water) 1 cup rice, washed 300g mutton, already cooked and shredded 1 tbsp soto powder 1/3 cup dhal, soaked in water for 10 min 1/3 cup peanuts, washed 1 1/2 carrots, diced 1 can chickpeas, washed 1 can kacang pool, washed 1/2 can sweet corn, washed 1 small box coconut milk Heat o...

Daiso Ramekins

Finally finally went to Daiso!! Wanted to go there for ages already! The first thing I came in, went to the cooking section. Found my ramekins! But they're not white. Oh wells. Can't be choosy for $2 ramekins! There were white ones, but super small white ramekins. And pie tarts too! Oooh so tempting! But I don't know when I'll make tarts hurhur. Actually I'm still thinking what I should bake using these ramekins. I remember having one of those "I wish I had ramekins right now" moments but I can't remember when. Maybe when I was making lava cake . Daiso is evil. It's so cheap you just feel like coming back again! Oh and did I mention there's a $2 weighing scale?! Measures up to a kilo but that's quite alright for baking isn't it! I mean, $2!! Dirt cheap lah. Not sure about the accuracy though. Didn't do much cleaning last weekend, very much spent lazing around at home just like what weekends should be like. I love being at ho...

Spicy Tuna Sushi Bake & Teriyaki Chicken Sushi Bake

I failed the first time I made sushi bake, so I was kinda apprehensive about this. Added surimi or imitation crab meat since the kids may not want a fully tuna sushi bake, plus it gives a smoother texture.  The recipe uses full tuna and avocado, so I used this recipe lightly to tweak to my own. Tuna Sushi Bake 1 1/2 cups sushi rice Sushi vinegar as per the bottle's instructions 3 chunky tuna cans (Ayam brand) 1 packet of imitation crab meat, boiled and shredded 5 tbsp Japanese mayo 1 tbsp sriracha sauce 3 tbsp mentaiko mayo Teriyaki Chicken Sushi Bake 1 1/2 cups sushi rice Sushi vinegar as per the bottle's instructions 500g chicken boneless thigh, cut into small pieces 1 inch ginger, pound Teriyaki sauce for marinate and for frying Season the top with furikake, sliced seaweed, Japanese mayo and mentaiko mayo. These are a must. Broil or grill for about 8 minutes. These turn out yummy! All the Japanese ingredients were bought on Shopee, from a Malaysian provider.
