Western Food in the house

Hai everyone? Since September I was updated my blog and now I'm back again. Just you know, for last week I'd cooked a something special about Western Food, I'd make a Savory Pizza, Lamb Steak, Chicken Chop, Mini Burger and Fried Rice with Lamb which's so much delicious and juicy. 

As a Culinarian students we need to be more creative and have an idea for doing a special main dish. Well, not to proud, my pizza was crowned by a 2nd place. It was so much precious for me, and thank you to my close friends whose are support and give me a quality time where at I stand.

Traditional Concept of Café

Hai everyone? Im back again to shared something about my café venture. Just so you know, last week I'd been to a traditional café which's name The Daily Fix Café.  
The café there are so unique and I loved the concept so much, cause just so you know the café its followed the traditional concept of Malaysia. So, you can seen a lot of stuff is came from traditional things. Thats why I loved these café so much. And this café are around the Jonker Street Melaka. It so easy to looking this café, or you may using a map to find the location. And last, I loved the coffee and there.

My Personal Batcave




DC Comics Super Heroes, Puteri Harbour, JB.

DC has been established before I was born. Frankly speaking, I'm a fan of DC since I was a kid. Every time I see Catwoman on tv, I would freak out and there's nothing far more interesting than seeing her steal those jewelries under the moonlight. Never occurred to me that one day I'd be sitting in a cafe full of memorabilia of DC and enjoy a latte named Gotham Madness. It was a fun day for me. I hope I can come here again someday. 

p/s: Hey you, thanks for bringing me here, love.

Coffee, Churros and Whatnot






The Replacement - Lodge and Kitchen, Johor Bahru.

I've been spending my time in a past few days in Johor Bahru and I got the chance to try some of these awesome cafes that everyone has been talking about. Unlike previous cafes, this one is kinda my favourite. It's really comforting, good lighting, comfortable atmosphere and good coffee. Not just coffee, I tried its signature churros and it was so good. All I gotta say is, this will be not my last time here, I'll be back and have those churros again. Highly recommended for cafe hunters out there. Till then.

Cafe Hunting


Calanthe Art Cafe, Jonker Street, Melaka.

One of the best thing in life is food, you can eat anything you want as long as it healthy and good for your life. Growing up in a historical place gave an opportunity to try local food in so many different ways. There's a lot of new cafes here in Melaka and I tried one of them yesterday and it was pretty good. From the amazing concept of the cafe to its signature coffee, everything was perfect-o! Highly recommended for food hunters out there. I know I'll be back here again after holidays. Promising coffee is all I need in this world.

Heartbeat


They say that you can hear your own heartbeat when you're lying on the ground. I tried it myself, but I didn't hear anything. I wonder why, then it hit me; you stole my heart the moment we met.

Mincemeat with Potatoes and Bowties Carbonara



Mouth-watering dishes.

Hallo. Last week, I made two perfect dishes. One of them was bowties carbonara and the other one was mincemeat potatoes for appetisers. As you know, I was doing it for my upcoming test and it was based on our own creativity. I had my own idea when my chef told me to use all the ingredients given on the trolley (everything was provided). It was really fun. At first I was kind blur and didn't know what kind of dishes I should cook. Then, I tried searching for recipes that can I use to get through it. Well, I found it, it was carbonara. So, I thought that carbonara was for the main course while for appetiser I can make chicken nuggets or something much easier to cook. It was challenging for me. In the end, I managed to complete the test in a short period if time. Just so you know, my chef ranked me the best second class for these mouth-watering dishes. Alhamdulillah, I've made it!

Ice Cream & Whatnot


What does it take to make a perfect ice cream?

Last weekend I had the chance to put on my favourite pair of shoes and travel around Johor Bahru. The Ice-Cream Project (TIP) was one of the best place that I've been to and I gotta say it once and for all; this is the kind of place that I've been waiting for all this time, the kind of place that has something that we called magic. You can have ice cream and hangout at the same time, you know, catching up with friends and everything. Not to mention its amazing small-but-nice concept kinda store where you can take selfies. 

The thing is, I'm not a big fan of ice cream; just a few times in a year, especially during hot weathers. When I wanted to eat ice cream, I preferred Baskin Robbins (but Wall's will do, too). But the ice cream from TIP is special, you can actually taste the real milk inside that tiny scoop ball of ice. There was a flyer on the table where I sit and they mentioned they were trying their best to maintain the quality of their ice cream. I thought that was the best way to handle their customers and I couldn't agree more.

All in all, I will return to this place soon. I hope they open up a new branch in Melaka. Well, they should.

Spaghetti Carbonara



There's no sincerer love than the love of food.

Recently I've been asked to cook one of my favorite dishes of all time and it's spaghetti carbonara. It's not hard as long as you follow these steps and you have all the right ingredients.

100g pancetta
50g pecorino cheese
50g parmesan
3 large eggs
350g spaghetti
2 plump garlic cloves, peeled and left whole
50g unsalted butter
Maldon salt and freshly grated black pepper

1. Put a large saucepan of water on to boil. Finely chop the pancetta, having first removed any rind. Finely grate both cheeses and mix them together. Beat the eggs in a medium bowl, season with a little freshly grated black pepper and set everything aside.

2. Add 1 tsp. salt to the boiling water, add the spaghetti and when the water comes back to the boil, cook at a constant simmer, covered, for 10 minutes or until al dente (just cooked).

3. Squash the garlic with the blade of a knife, just to bruise it. While the spaghetti is cooking, fry the pancetta with the garlic. Drop the butter into a large wide frying pan or wok and, as soon as the butter has melted, tip in the pancetta and garlic. Leave these to cook on a medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring often, until the pancetta is golden and crisp. The garlic has now imparted its flavor, so take it out with a slotted spoon and discard.

4. Keep the heat under the pancetta on low. When the pasta is ready lift it from the water with a pasta fork or tongs and put it in the frying pan with the pancetta (see left). Don’t worry if a little water drops in the pan as well (you want this to happen) and don’t throw the rest of the pasta water away yet.

5. Mix most of the cheese in with the eggs, keeping a small handful back for sprinkling over later. Take the pan of spaghetti and pancetta off the heat. Now quickly pour in the eggs and cheese and, using the tongs or a long fork, lift up the spaghetti so it mixes easily with the egg mixture, which thickens but doesn’t scramble, and everything is coated. Add extra pasta cooking water to keep it saucy (several tablespoons should do it). You don’t want it wet, just moist. Season it with a little salt, if needed.

6. Use a long-pronged fork to twist the pasta on to the serving plate or bowl. Serve immediately with a little sprinkling of the remaining cheese and a grating of black pepper. If the dish does get a little dry before serving, splash in some more hot pasta water and the glossy sauciness will be revived.

Enjoy your spaghetti carbonara!

p/s: Don't forget to put the extra ingredient in it; love.

Up & Down


The road up ahead is going to be bumpy, but I know my loved ones will stay by my side no matter what. There's a reason why we called them our loved ones, there's always love when I'm with them. That's the thing about love, you can't see it, but you can feel it. You can feel it with your heart and trust me, when you do, you don't want that feeling to go away. There's nothing better than love and being loved. Love is the highest power in this universe.

Friends For Keep


This is us.

Friends. A simple word, but means the world to you. Why? That's because you actually care about them; every, single one of them. Once you cared, you'd stay the same way until the very end. These people will eventually become your family. Yes, we don't share the same blood, but we do understand each other. Sometime, you can communicate with them by using only your eyes and gestures. Sometime you don't have to speak to know what's going on inside their heads. That's the best thing about them friends, they will always by your side, no matter what. Keep them close to your heart. Friends, such a simple word.

Eyes


We pretend like we didn't care.
But deep down, we actually do.
