I crave for a spicy meal constantly. Since there is no nasi padang here in Malaysia, I opt for nasi lemak Malaysian style which is quite different from what we have back in Indonesia.

The usual style of Malaysia nasi lemak comes with: rice cooks with coconut cream (we didn’t use the cream), small dried anchovies /ikan bilis, roasted peanuts, hard boiled egg, hot spicy sauce/sambal and cucumber slices. Easy to cook.

For the sambal, we use the can’s prawn sauce/sambal udang from Yeo’s. We added in cuttlefish (cooked spicy) as the companion dish.

Oh so yummy! Just need to buy banana leaf and put everything on top of it to get the full experience of eating nasi lemak at home.

We decided to have a monthly spring cleaning that happens at the end of each month; basically clean every corner of the house to the details; an additional to daily house cleaning. That way it will keep things more organize and clean, in which hopefully will bring a better atmosphere to the new month.

Today is our first one. Tiring but am satisfy with the result, like a new home again. Below is a picture from the balcony. Hubby clean the glass door, it’s spanking clean and clear now. And yeap, it’s a sunny hot day with clear blue sky, can see the mountains so clear.

Left side with arrow is the glass door, right side is without, can’t really differentiate both eh?

Nothing better than being away from keyboard on Sunday and do activity together with the husband. We rewarded ourselves with McDonald’s meal for dinner after the hardwork. Burger + french fries + Milo Ice, sinful but yummy.

Well, I’m ready to close May, and welcome June. Bring it on!

Let’s celebrate the fact that we had our first guest to our new home yesterday (family members don’t count). Yay! It’s quite an impromptu one (for me) so I didn’t prepare much for dinner. Aiks. And I know, we don’t have a proper place for guests to sit or hang out yet – the thing that we call sofa – but hang in there, it will come along the way.

So we chit chat about hot tub covers at BeyondNice.com and wedding; typical prewedding photoshoot, video on wedding day, how expensive the package is, blablabla; and played back our wedding video for hubby’s friend to see.

When I looked back at the video, I can’t deny that it’s so typical Chinese wedding ceremony, to be specific – typical Medanese type. And the video is just like a documentary, nothing artistic at all. Can’t believe we paid so much for the video and prewedding photo where we needed to bend our body in whatever angle so we looked photogenic. (more…)

Almost one week since the last post, can tell that I’m lazy to blog busy eh?

Anyway, my Mum was visiting us on last Friday til Monday hence it was a long weekend for us and my brother. It means shopping til drop, as in physically drop = exhausted = can feel like my legs are going to break = need massage so badly, and eat til super duper full. My bro might need sensa weight loss if we continue like this.

Funny how my legs get tired easily when I window-shopping only, but no sign of tired when I really shop/spend money. -_-” Proven that wander around with no goal will just drain one’s energy.

The peak is on Saturday when we drove to KL 10am and reached home 10pm, lucky no traffic jam pheww. Spent time in Bukit Bintang; from TimesSquare to Sungei Wang to Pavilion to Fahrenheit to KLCC park (then it rain cats and dogs), felt so much like a tourist.

As the family bonding time is over, we’re back to our routine now. Loads of stuffs to tidy up on the work part.

So often we go Whoaaa when a man says he can cook. Sometimes we doubt, wondering if the cooking refers to instant noodle/fried rice kind of thing. But hey, it’s nothing to be surprised, most of the chefs out there are male, no?

I’m proud to say that my man can cook. Better than me, yeap, we all excel in different field after all.

Today is one of those rare days where we are able to spend more time in cooking. So he fried the fillet fish and there you go, sweet sour fish, one of our fave dishes. Yummy… life is good, really.

On a separate note, we’ve been cooking and eating (lunch dinner) at home for eight days in a row. Hitting a new record. But I think we’ll have a break tomorrow cause my Mum is visiting us. That means, lotsa hometown’s foods! Somebody needs liponox to keep his body weight

Have I mentioned that life is good?
