Buka posa

Nothing very interesting to share except for our berbuka puasa menu for the last 2 weekends. Masak beriya hujung minggu. Weekdays simple-simple dishes ajer as Mama's at the office. Disebabkan ketiadaan pasar Ramadhan, kalau teringin nak makan the likes of nasi kerabu and nasi dagang which memang Mama tak pernah buat di Malaysia, di sini semua pun kena buat sendiri although they're perantauan version without some of the original ramuan. Just make do with what we have here.

Hakeem puasa weekends only. Every hour jenguk dapur and tanya berapa lama lagi nak berbuka. When Mama made pizza siap reserve a whole pizza to himself, bila time berbuka 2 keping pun tak habis.

Asam pedas ayam
Masak lemak rebung with udang
Nasi kerabu with ayam percik
Mac & Cheese - Hakeem's favourite and a must kalau dia puasa.
Badak berendam. Hakeem calls it 'hippo in the mud'.
Soya cincau
Nasi dagang, resipi taken from blog Cik Mat Gebu. Thank you Cik Mat for a truly and utterly yummy recipe.

What's this? Ice cream? No...marshmallows...also no. Biskut Arab dough in various colours to be mixed at Hakeem and Syirah's fancy. Thanks to cousin Wiz who gave Mama some wonderful gel food colouring, this year's biskut Arab takes on several different shades than our normal red/green/yellow. Tahun ni ada purple and blue colour to play with. Mama tukang bancuh jer, the rest Syirah buat with a little help from Hakeem and Angah.
Hakeem had fun helping around gelentel the dough. He said feels like playing with play dough. He got really excited when he managed to produce the yin and yang effect.

Biskut Arab all baked.

The end result all dolled-up. Yummy...melt in the mouth. For those yang interested, this is Tok Ma's recipe. It's so easy peasy to make with only 5 ingredients. Here's the recipe :
