From my kitchen...."Steamed Cream Cracker Cake"

Steamed Cream Cracker Cake has always been my family favourite cake, it is best to served as breakfast or tea break. Let's me share with you this simple recipe....

Ingredients:

1.Sliced some carrots ,1 big onion, 1 can of luncheon meat and some leeks into small pieces.
2.Seasoning : pepper,Maggi Cukup Rasa
3.1 pack of cream cracker biscuit (I used Tiger Brand - the best is to use Jacob brand).
4.1 tin of Evaporated milk(any brand will do).
5.8-10 eggs (depend on the size of the egg).

Method:

1.Grease the baking tray(square size) with some butter ( that is to prevent the cake stick to the tray - easier to wash the tray).

I need 9 pcs of cream cracker biscuit per layer.You can use smaller size of baking tray,but must be in Square Size.

2.Stir fried the carrots,leeks,big onions + luncheon meat.Add the seasoning too. Then put aside.

3.Beat the eggs,add in Evaporated Milk and mixed them well.

4.Soak the cream cracker biscuits into the step (3).

5.Layer the cream cracker biscuits into the baking tray (3x3).

6.Put in the mixed carrot+leek+luncheon meat+onion (from step-2)in the next layer.

7.Repeat till all the ingredients are used up.It will looks like a layer cake.

8.Steam high heat for about half an hour/till cooked. Served with Maggi Sos Tomat or Maggi Sos Chili.

 My family love all the dishes I cook using Maggi products.For stir-frying/marinade, I love to use Maggi Sos Tiram to make the dishes taste great.....MAGGI is always the  best companion in my cooking.

Our first "Time"

Time flies very fast and Ryan is reaching 6 years old in 2 months time.This morning, while looking back at my pictures album,  I found this "special picture". It was my first time celebrating my birthday with Ryan.

I remembered well when I reached my sweet seventeen, I had a birthday celebration together with my best friend at the restaurant.That was the only time I have a party on my birthday. During my childhood, my mom would cook a bowl of meesuah for me on my birthday,just a simple celebration.

And now, I wish to celebrate my birthday with hubby & Ryan every year....a simple dinner with a birthday cake.

Trying my luck ......I am submitting this post for MummyMoon kleenex contest.

You 're Doing good.....

Yes...we are back to Medan on this school holiday. Ryan last day school was on 6th Nov 2012 and it was also the day he got his report book....This time , Ryan got 3rd place in his class. Well done,boy!!

As usual, school would give some pressie to top 3 students for whole school and this is what Ryan got from school.....being top 3 in class,won the colouring contest & writing contest.

Attending a Birthday Party

Yesterday we attended Ryan's uncle 1st birthday party. It was a big gathering .. all hubby's relatives were invited to this party. Too bad I have no chance to snap the food as everyone were so hungry and could not wait to wallop the food when the catering reached the place. I would say...the food were great especially the curry chicken. As for Ryan, he could not wait to eat the birthday cake.....after having his lunch, he quickly ask for the cake.
Overall, we have a full and delicious lunch yesterday and everyone were so happy to see each other again.

The birthday boy can't wait to eat his birthday cake

Yeah.....I am free now

Yesterday was Ryan's last day exam, he is "free" from now on as his school holiday is coming ahead.  6th Nov will be his last day school(also the day he will get his report book) .It is marks as his last day at "THAT SCHOOL". His current school has made some changes for next year batch whereby all students for pre-K, K1 and K2 are compulsory to attend the afternoon class session from 2-4.30pm apart from morning class session. Since we do not want Ryan gets so tiring, we decided to change school for him. I have enrolled him to another school and a few of his classmates are following us too.

Lastnight we were so free that I decided to let Ryan do colouring and he chose to colour a fish. I guided him on how to mix the colour and he wanted to add 2 small fishes on the picture. I decide to enroll Ryan to an art class next year as I want him to continue his interest in colouring.
This is what Ryan did last night......

Our First Picture

While sorting out my picture files tonight,  I looked back at those old pictures of Ryan.  I found this "special" picture of me and Ryan. It was our first picture taken on the first day of Chinese New Year 2007. At that point of time, Ryan was just a few days old and of course, I was on my confinement period. Being a first time mom, I was pretty nervous in handling a newborn baby. I was glad that my kind MIL was  at my side giving me guidance. Time flies so fast... Ryan is going to be 6 years old soon. I know Ryan is a toddler now ,but in my eyes, he is still a little boy which I wish to hug him always in my arm.

Mommy always Love You, Ryan !!! **-**


FYI, I am sending out this post to join Cynful Pleasure Giveaway. Check this link for more information if you wanna join this giveaway....All the best !!

Definitely worth to win....

I believe all boys like to play around with cars and it goes same to Ryan. He can bring his car toys  to anywhere he goes,.... to the kitchen, bathroom,and even when he sleeps, his hand is still holding on to his favourite cars.
 

I noticed Ryan has his own creative way playing with his car toys. He like to make his playground more fun by creating special car tracks for his cars,adding building, making tunnels,etc....sometimes he wil even take out his Thomas & friends train set and set them up together with his car tracks.
 

And last weekend.........I noticed a silent mode in the living room, I took a peep and noticed that Ryan was busy creating his car tracks by using some unused tape roller,books and empty paper boxes.He was busy cutting the paper boxes to make his car track looks great and his car can move smoothly on the tracks....I did offer a little help in connecting the tape roller... ****** And here it goes, the car tracks is ready to make a performance  ...****_****
 

 












Ryan grabbed his forever favourite Hot Wheels car and played around his car tracks again and again. He was so happy when he managed in completing his own car tracks with little help from mom/dad. I myself enjoying spending my precious moments with him playing around with his cars.It definitely make our relationship getting stronger and stronger.
 

 












The other day while doing blog-hopping, I came across a HOT WHEEL giveaway contest held by a Mom Blogger "Anggie's Journal". I was getting excited with the cool prize "a set of Hot Wheels Wall Tracks Mid Air Madness Booster Set ".
 

Ryan has been craze over these "Hot Wheel" stuffs since he was 3 years old. For sure, he will jumping up high if I can win this great prize for him.The other day when he saw  this HW picture online,he kept telling me that he liked this"HW Tracks Mid Air Madness Booster Set" so much. Okie.....,so I make a deal with Ryan... if he can get to the  top 10 in his class on this coming final year exam, he will be getting a surprise gift from mommy. I bet you guys know what is the "Surprise Gift" I am getting  for Ryan. For me,this deal is a kinda of encouragement for Ryan to study hard for his coming exam....hope not a pressure for him.
 

For those who are interested to win this great prize for your boys & girls, let's make a quick drop here the contest details before it ends on 31st October 2012.

Home cooked meal : Gulai Ayam

Last weekend I cooked one of Indonesia traditional dish called "Gulai Ayam",it is one of my favourite dish.....The paste was brought to me by my mom all the way from Medan when she came to visit me in September. I always have different type of premix paste(curry, rendang,mee rebus,etc) in my freezer(all brought from Medan).

Some info about this dish "gulai ayam" :
 Gulai Ayam (Minangkabau and Indonesian for: "Gulai Chicken") is a traditional Indonesian Dish of chicken cooked in curry-like spicy, rich and succulent yellowish sauce called gulai. It is originally from West Sumatra (Padang). It can be classified as an Indonesian curry. Together with gulai kambing, (goat or mutton gulai), it was the most common and popular variant of gulai.

After busying in kitchen for an hour.....the Gulai Ayam dish is ready to be served, it is best to go with steam rice,bread,mini ketupat,and kompia.

......What is the next dish I should cook......?......

Something makes me feel HaPPy..

Surprise Prize from ..........Dumex

Last week, I received a notice from one of the courier service company when I reached home around noontime, then I phoned them to re-sent the item to my shop the next day.
I was thinking,.....what is the thing I am going to receive (it is under my husband's name). As I did not expecting any gift or prize from any where at that point of time.
Never mind...just wait and see.....

So the next morning, the courier man sent the item to my shop and I was asked to sign a piece of delivery note (the item written in the note: Samsung Galaxy Tab)....while signing on that piece of note, I was thinking.......who sent this "thing" to my husband.
Later on, I asked my husband whether he ordered Galaxy Tab online, he said "NO"....both of us  were in puzzled,we opened up the parcel and I found delivery note written the company name (stationed in KL). So I quickly called up the company and asked them to help me check this item was actually sent by who. After the phone conversation, I read through the delivery note again and I found under the "description",it was stated : danone-std.
Danone....it sound familiar and my husband suggested to find any information online on this company. At last, I get some tips that Dumex is under Danone.

I remembered few months back I did joined Dumex Dugro Hari Raya contest, I submitted one entry for fun ( I got the barcode for the dumex milk formula from Ryan's classmate as he drank this milk formula ).....so I started to write a story according to the "tema" of that contest.
I went to my facebook and check on the winner list for Dumex contest........out of surprise, I saw my husband's name was THERE (under second prize winner).

Both me and my husband were so HaPPy....It is always my dream to own either Ipad or GalaxyTab and now I have it in hand without me spending a single cents.......Thanks lot Dumex for selecting my story as one of the winner.

It will be a perfect thing for my coming holiday trip ...we can play games or surf nets while waiting for our connecting flight back to my hometown.......can't wait for the coming school holiday.........:)

Actually I joined this Disney Junior Asia contest quite some times back and I have been waiting for more than a month....never received the prize. After sending them an email, at last I received my prize.

Ryan was super happy .... at last have a new toy for him to play with...

Ryan's artpiece

Ryan has attended colouring class for more than half a year, and I can see an improvement in his colouring skill. At least now he can mix the colour better than last time. 

Every saturday morning, Ryan will attend the  class for 2 hours at his school, he has to complete 1 drawing per session.

And this is the latest drawing that Ryan coloured at school (before the Merdeka Day)....
