: : Pizza, a Square Meal : :

Yep, it had everything in it : greenies, meat and carbo. My sister-cousin Gwen made it for me and her sons during my recent trip to KL. It was done in a jiffy and I forgot to get the pizza bread-base recipe from her. What she did was bake the base in the oven for awhile until it’s crispy.

Once the bread base was done, she added in a layer of tomato puree on top and started putting it layers of sausages, pepperoni and green capsicum. For the sausage, we used the ever popular Ayamas sausage that had cheese inside them. Yummy!

Now we musn’t forget the cheese no? Sprinkled liberally, it was enough to make our mouth water.

Ah! The final meal. Not bad eh? It was very very nice and between the 4 of us, we finished the whole lot!

On top of that, we also had BBQ ribs but that’s something for tomorrow!

: : Benjamin Christie’s : :

Guess what pop up in the mail today? A link exchange request with Benjamin Christie. Pop over to his site to get updates. Pity I can’t watch the show since it’s only showing Down Under or maybe in Singapore, since it’s on ABC Asia Pacific.

Enjoy it folks!

: : Stinky Bean : :

Action

Eat the above concoction comprising of chilli paste, prawn and petai beans. Flavour is salty, spicy and sweet. Beans are crunchy and a mild sweetest taste.

Body reaction

Extremely … errr… flatulance as well as strong odour when discharging liquid waste a.k.a. urinating. Hold breath!

No pain no gain, baby!

: : I’m a part of a Salad : :

Malaysians are not a cultural meltingpot because a meltingpot signifies that everyone melts together and blends in. I prefer to refer to our community as a saladbowl. Notice that each ingredient is still recognizable as an invidual and yet, comes together to make a wonderful dish.

This was a statement that I heard today about Malaysia’s independance. I agree with him although I’m sure he meant salad rather than the bowl. The pic is old but the salad remains forever fresh.

Happy Post Merdeka day everyone!

: : Southern Bakery : :

Speaking to a friend online over the weekend, reminded me that the Mooncake Festival was just around the corner. So, on my way back home, took a long detour to Southern Bakery to grab some mooncakes.

Think I spend over 30 minutes selecting what mooncakes to buy, making phone calls to Granny and then to friends and family on what they would like to have. At Southern Bakery, they were also having a promotion whereby one is entitled to a RM5 (USD1.31) voucher for every RM30 (USD7.89) spent. Suffice to say that I went a bit overboard and bought a lot of goodies for friends and family.

I like the box more than the tin or the mooncake.

And the invidual tins here were so cute. The colour didn’t come out so well although the theme seem to be dating back to 1930s era.

Ok, so I went a little bit overboard. I would be stone broke if I bought mooncake for all my friends and relatives around the world!

Granny : Haiya! Why you buy so early one? Mooncake day only on 28 September lah! Doh!

: : 47 Years of Merdeka : :

It’s been a relaxing day today and I woke up late as usual on a non-working day. It’s been a nice break, having not to update any postings for the past one month. However, I do miss doing it so much seriously get into the habit of doing it again.

Woke up this morning to any interesting picture in the newspaper. So, I went out to the nearest Shell station and bought myself a bottle.

Nice black and red design. I bought about 10 bottles to pass to some friends. My only peeve is that it’s made out of glass which made carrying 10 bottles really troublesome. Would have been nice to have one made out of hard plastic but at the price of RM1 @ USD0.26, I shouldn’t be complaining too much. However, didn’t know that I was only limited to buying only 2 bottles. The ladies at the petrol station didn’t stop me so oh well.

Anyway, I’m back. Probably a bit more dull but hopefully refresh after a nice long break away from blogging. And my streamyx connection has more or less returned back to it’s usual speed. Hope it lasts!

Also, Happy Merdeka Day everyone!
