Bazaar Ramadhan with my buddies! :)

Like the yummiest day ever! :D :D :D

Uzair texted me a few days ago saying that he would come back a few days later and we gonna meet up, so I was like, "That's awesomeeeeee!"

And what's more awesome? Sera and Mai are coming back together with him too! And Wani's back from Canada as well! Triple happiness! Haha!!

A big thanks here to Mr Asda Uzair for chauffeuring me that day! He brought me to Bazaar Ramadhan near Padang Astaka to meet up with the rest! :)

A lovely group picture to start the post with! I realise I really love to add bokeh to my picture coz it'll make the pictures look more festive! :D

Note that in this picture everyone "shopped" something! ;)

Alright, let's check out the food!!!
Bazaar Ramadhan is the hottest and most popular food market before Raya!
Sad to say, I've never been to any one before.
This was my very first time!!!
I did went to some food stalls but they weren't this spectacular.

Bazaar Ramadhan has like at least a hundred food stalls combined together!!!! O.O *I'm not exaggerating!*

I discovered so much new things that I never seen before! :)

Ayam Tempayan!

When I reached the Bazaar, the first thing I saw was a lot of huge Tempayan lining up. They're all really big I can hide inside lol.

So here's how the chicken are roasted! Hanging at the side of the Tempayan with burning coal below and close the lid! Yummmm~~~

The end result of Ayam Tempayan. A whole chicken for RM 22. :)

The tasty Ikan Bakar! Ohhh my tummy is growling now. T___T

A pot of very interesting + bizarre BLUE rice. O.O

I posted this in FB and my Thai friend, San, told me they probably use a kind of blue flower called Butterfly Pea to colour it. :)

Flower, hmm... That sounds healthy! :) *Ahhh now can eat without worrying that it's some bad colouring already* :D

An obviously very popular stall. See the Kuah also cook until so big pot. O.O

This one should be... Nasi Minyak. ^_^

Rice~~

The crowd!

Murtabak, my buy of the day! :) Sera recommended it!

Potato chips. O.O Interesting right?

Akok! Very cheap and yummy! :)

Uzair's recommendation, Akok! He said this Akok akok is the only reason he comes to the Bazaar every year. 

O.O say until like that wo, must be very very yummy one loh!

Remember this Pakcik yea! Go to his stall. Haha!

ps: Btw I tried a piece, really very yummy. Best served when it's hot. :)

And then I got amazed when I saw this. 

Another new discovery. :D

She uses a cup that has holes beneath and pour some yellow mixture into it. Then she moves her hand in circular motion to form something like this.

The end result.

I was taking the picture, and there was a Makcik beside me.

She looked at me and smiled, so I smiled and told her it was my first time looking at this. :)

So she turned around and faced us (Uzair, Mai, Sera, Wani, me) and said, "Ohhh ini namanya Roti Jala, ROTI JALA."

The other guys laughed so hard afterwards coz evidently the Makcik thought they're "foreign tourist"(coz I looked like a tourist with my camera. lol.) like me too. XDD

So let me present to you, the ROTI JALA. :D

Si Ham with sambal on top. :)

Ikan Pari. :D

My friend, Farouq Hadi (I call him oppa ^.^) told me the name and I was like, "Ohhh that's such a pretty name! You know, in Chinese we call this "Ghost fish"!"

And he said, "That's so creepy, but do you know Ikan Pari means "ghost fish"?"

Me: "But I thought Pari means Angel?"

Oppa: "Errrr Pari-pari means angel, Pari means ghost."

Ohhhh myyy Bahasa.. T______T

Very cool chef frying chickens in hot boiling oil! 

A row of very colourful drinks. Spot the sea-blue colour one. O.O

The colours so POP! Me likeyyyy (but don't dare to drink) Haha!

Another very POP-colour Kuih. 

Do they paint them or what? I wonder. O.O

Kuih Sarawak!

Lastly, a picture of a very cute Abang smiling for the pic! :D

The chickens he's roasting is called Ayam Golek! (Thanks to oppa for telling haha!)

Very suitable name, golek golek golek! (Golek means spin in English!) ;)

Bought a piece of Murtabak and tofu fa in the end. 

Feeling so full now!

Modelling 2nd Batch Up!

MuXiaoPai's home finally update the 2nd batch of summer collection!!!

I haven't get all the pics from her yet, probably tonight, will update the pics soon!

Stay tuned! :)

Happy summer~~~ :x :x :x

Annual hang-out with my darling! :)

When all your friends are scattered all over the world, it isn't easy to have a get-together that can match everyone's time!

It's lucky that one of my besties, Yingz's summer holidays is the same as mine so we get to meet annually during this time! :D

It's the time when we chat non-stop, exchanging funny stories and also pressies for each other! It's the time that we observe how each other have changed in different aspect (mostly in good ways I think!) and reminiscing whole day. :D

This year, we decided to just spend the day baking in Yingz's house! :)

She already mastered a lot of yummy recipes, such as muffins, cookies, cake-in-a-mug and cupcakes!

So we decided to do something both of us never done before, fruit tarts!

*I'm a total newbie in baking btw. Haha!*

Yingz got the recipe from her mom's colleague and we started making it early in the morning!

We stopped by at the nearest bakery shop to get some whipped cream and canned fruits from the supermarket. :)

I wanted to get something colourful like Kiwi and Strawberry because their colours POP! Too bad we couldn't find any. T____T 

So in the end we got canned peach, pineapple, lychee and rambutan!

Our first 2 batch of tart bases melted in the oven. :( 

In the end we solved the problem and at the same time realised not all the procedures in the recipe should be heeded. LOL LOL.

We spent time cutting the peaches into heart-shape (because it is the POP-est colour among the 4 fruits we have. LOL) to use them to decorate the tarts!

So after like 2 hours of preparing, making the cream filling, cutting the fruits, baking the bases and in the end, we got these!!!

We put a layer of fruits inside the bases before putting in the cream filling, so we have all kinds of fruits inside the tarts and at the same time a generous piece of peach on the top! Absolutely FRUITY! :D :D :D

We didn't waste the first two batches too! Even though they have melted into cookie-flat shape, we topped them up with fruits and creams too!

Yingz's mom was like "Why some of them look so ugly one ar?" (Referring to those flat-based tarts. LOL) However after she took one up and tasted it, she looked amazed. She didn't expect them to actually taste so good! Haha!

We are so happy because Yingz's mom is really good at baking and making desserts herself, so it is a really high praise coming from her! :D

After hours of hardwork! Glad to get great comments from the "consumers" (literally speaking) Hahaha!

You guys can see the 3rd line of tarts are obviously larger than the rest, those are the cookie-flat based tarts. LOL. 

Pictures with my darling Yingz! :x :x :x

Best friends forever!!! :x :x :x

Btw, I wanna show you guys the amazing birthday gift she gives me in advanced!!!

She bought this Violin-shape choc during her last Europe trip in Vienna and she actually went through all the trouble to bring it back to Malaysia!!! 

Imagine, it's choc, it'll melt easily, I don't know how she has managed to do it, but I am really really really touched!!

Thank you darling!!!!

Really, I have to say this again, LOL, Where to find a friend like this? :) :) :)

The very interesting detail is the chocolate has a bronze layer! And it's shiny!! :DDD

Edited this pic with a lot of cute clip-arts to show how happy I am! Haha!!

And another pressie from her, she knows I love reading. :)

Legacy by Danielle Steel, one of my favourite authors!

And I had a great steamboat dinner at her house too! For the steamboat picture, see my instagram, lol!

Planning another day-of-outing with her again, this time we gonna do the braid we saw in FB! :DDDD
