Wafers anyone?

Do you like wafers? I remembered vividly when i was small, we ate the only chocolate wafers that's sold in sundry shops. If i'm not mistaken 'Tobrerer'. At that time that was the best wafers in town.

New generations are more lucky. There's plenty of wafers with many brands that's been produced by local and overseas market. We used to eat Loackers but recently, bee saw one brand which is equally delicious and less sweet. They're made from Brazil and they've got plenty of flavours. Even more then the former brand.

If you go to any hypermarket, try to get this one...memang sedap!!



We're so crazy about it, we bought about 10 packets.


Neopolitan & Chocolate flavours



Caramel & Black Forest Flavours


Strawberry n Vanilla & Brown n White chocolate flavours
They're seriously nice, go get some.

Berbuka at Sheraton Subang

Today we (my colleagues & me) were treated for buka puasa at Sheraton Subang. Food is good & plenty. They had it at their ballroom and there were so many people. They even had a small stage for some ghazal music being played by a 5 piece group.



If the price is less then RM100, i think i only ate less then RM50. They had small stalls in the ballroom and i tell you, i didn't go to all the stalls...how much can you eat lar. Here are some piccas.

So far, i've been to hotels that served many types of hot drinks (eg. hot milo, nescafe & teh tarik). Their cold drinks were also aplenty. They have orange, grapes, bandung, air-mata-kucing, sugar cane & soya bean. So many type of liquid desserts, from pengat pisang, tau-fu-fah, bubur cha-cha, bubur pulut hitam, bubur sago, bubur kacang hijau, etc. Fruits were yellow n red watermelon, papaya, pineapple and dragon fruits. Of course there were many types of local kuih-muih and their speciality desserts like breadpudding, cheese cakes, jelly, etc.

Soups, they have at least 3 types of soup that goes with aplenty of bread-roll.




Small stalls were Popiah, Nasi Ayam, Pasta, Noodles, Roasted Lamb, desserts, etc. I didn't take much pics cos my batery went off.
But i hope there's no food wastege and i do enjoyed their delicious food.

I wanna learn to play drum

I'm suppose to post tis last July. My sister-inlaw bought a set of drum for her sons (lucky kids!!). So i tryout and kinda love it! I used to play drum when i was a cadet in the brass-band (Kesatria) during college years. In fact i wish i can play the piano or guitar. Can release tension, i tell u.

When i was in my teens, my mom used to send me for Organ classes.. But i didn't have the interest then, wuz too busy dating..hahaha... I learnt till grade3, i think. When i think about it now, i regretlar....sigh.




My nephew didn't have to go for classes and already he's mastering the art of drumming away. He said the only way, is to just beat it and get the hang of it. Of course if you wanna be a professional, you'll have to take classes lar.




I always 'berangan-angan' being in an orchestra, playing violin...i wonder why cos i have no interest in playing the violin. One day must go jamming with frens and release work tension!!

Pick n Brew, Glenmarie


Didn't know 'Pick n Brew' has another branch in Glenmarie if not for its banner. I've been to the One Utama branch for breakfast quite some time ago (didn't post it in my blog cos i didn't bring my camera at tat time). Their bfast memang best!!



Ahboss wanna treat us for buka-puasa. Coincidently they're looking for a place to eat which is near the office area and not too expensif this time. So Pick n Brew came at the rite timing.

We left office at 6:50pm and just in time for buka puasa. Got the VIP room. Ambiance, nice and cozy. Food, tasty. But i wish they have more variety...i know what can u expect for RM30 rite, hehe. Those who tasted the bbq lamb said it was excellent (some went for seconds). Other dishes were good too. I especially liked its nasi kerabu and ayam masak merah....sedap!




Later we ordered their coffee n chocolate drinks which is not included in the buffet. Inclusive of buffet were air bandung and sirap lychee and teh tarik. They're famous for its coffeee, so my bosses enjoys them. (Its nice of Jackson to open-up their coffee bar which were closed due to puasa month....thanks Jackson!!).

Met Jackson Kah who owned the place. He's an avid blogger as well. Young, friendly and polite chap. He said the place was open since Nov 2007. He asked us about our opinion on the food or any comments. We told him to put as much banner cos not many people know his place. We left the place around 9pm.
I'm definately gonna introduce this place to my other colleagues. Surely they'll loved this place. I heard plans oredi that they wanna tryout Pick n Brew's lunch tomoro...good!! Its location is near our office which is convenient, the ambiance is great and the food is good!! Oya, they oso served breakfast.....I must go and eat after Ramadhan month.

Buffet is RM30 net per person.

Baked Macaroni

Last few weekend, i made baked macaroni. Its easy. But i do not follow its recipe as per in the book. Its up to u how much/how many you wanna use its ingredient.

Ingredients & method.


Boil macaroni (up to u) with some oil n salt and strain.


Mozarella Cheese (get the grated ones, its easier)

Sautee chicken (bite pieces) and sliced button mushroom with some oil and garlic.


I add 1 can of chicken & mushroom soup. (Its not in the recipe but i add it to add some moist n taste to my macaroni). Put in salt and pepper to taste n continue to stir till half-cooked.


Later put in green peas (i put green peas for some colour, its up to u). Continue to stir. Optional : add-in maggie chicken granules (for taste).
Once done, arrange the sauteed ingredient at the base of our pyrex/casserole dish (greese it first). Sprinkle (generously) with grated mozarella cheese. top with the remainder of the dish, and sprinkle the sparing grated mozarella cheese.


I've actually boiled some quail eggs (not in the recipe), this is just to add extra ingredient to make it tastier. U can arrange the eggs in between ur macaroni.





Mix 4 whisked eggs with some milk.



Pour into egg mixture over the macaroni. Bake in pre-heated oven till egg mixture is set.
I forgot to take the pics of the baked macaroni. But happy baking!
