Nonoi

 Hari ni Baby Adalia sebut perkataan baru yang buat we all tertanya2. Bangun je from her noon nap, asyik sebut " nonoi". ?? Blur le we all. Guess macam2. After she was frustrated coz we didn't understand what we said, finally Hubby main agak je lah amik ubat demam from the fridge. ( Actually dah tuang ubat tu dlm measuring cup be4 dia tido tp tak sempat bagi...). Terus dia senyum & minum ubat tu. Betul le tu agaknya. But we still cannot translate the exact word for nonoi, ubat? demam?

Adalia..Nonoi!

Updates: Actually Nonoi tu meant Roti canai. May be she wanted roti canai lps dia bgn tidur. Tok dia found out a week later..Tp since kitaorang tak paham, dia pun malas dah nak mintak time tu..:D

For lunch today we had western food. Had Creamy Au Gratin Potatoes and Nestum coated fish. I like using nestum to coat the fish instead of breadcrumbs as the coating is crunchier & fluffier. It has the melt in the mouth effect..:-). Senang je nak wat. Hubby lak wat Starfruit juice. Banyak pulak belimbing madu kat belakang rumah. Besar lak tu..

Penang-Johor-Kedah

 Hari ni dah hari ke6 berpuasa. Wah..within this 6 days I dah berbuka kat Batu Pahat, Penang & Jitra. 2-2 kg dah balik. Lepas balik je dari Johor petang khamis lepas, Mak called early Friday morning. Bagi hint suruh balik kg. Hubby yang jawab phone tu mcm blur je yang mak bg hint suruh blk kg. Dia cakap nak balik next week. Bila sedar dari mamai dia, baru dia tau mak suruh balik kg le tu.

The princesses keletihan otw balik Johor. Baby tido sampai ternganga...Punya le berat 2 org tu menempel kat dia..:D

So, ptg tu siap balik Jitra pulak. Penat weh..Tp berbaloi balik. Ceriakan hati parents & at the same time makan sedap2! Penuh meja. Friday Ila & family pun balik kg gak.. Penuh le meja with our favourites eg Otak masak lemak lada, Perut cicah, sup ekor, ikan tiga rasa etc. Pendek kata, masak lembu tu dari kepala ke ekor lah..hikhik..The next day kak & family pun balik untuk berbuka sama2. Meriah betul..

Puding Pelangi ( Yang ni I wat bawak balik Jitra )

Menu berbuka kat Jitra

Otak Masak Lemak Lada & Ikan Tiga Rasa

Baby penat tunggu orang berbuka

 Last week mmg I byk cuti. Balik je keje hari ni, kena pinjam keta k.Jun lak. Hubby bawak 2-2 kunci kereta pegi keja. Tamak betoi! Nasib I tak kena menapak ke tempat keja. Kalau tak maunya mogok masak sebulan..haha..Ada spare key tapi kunci steering lock pun dia angkut ke tempat keja. Nasib I ingat lagi bwk keta manual ( K.Jun's car manual le pulak..).

Father's Day

 Happy Father's Day to Ayah & dear Hubby. Father's Day kat Malaysia ni baru je semenjak 2 menjak ni je ada celebration tapi tak semeriah Mother's Day. Sale sempena Father's Day pun tak de..:-) Tapi the role of fathers is equal to that of mothers. Cuma anak2 mungkin lebih rapat dgn ibu2. Hence, the difference in celebrations.
 Yesterday, memula I plan nak buat breakfast celebration. Tapi malas tahap gaban nak ke dapur. The princesses pulak woke up soo late. Tengok2 Papa sorang je yang bangun awal. So, after bangun & bagi the princesses brunch, we waited after zohor to go out. So, Hubby was given a choice whether to go to Damiral's Grill ( Zuraida & Eli's wesstern food restaurant ) or Secret Recipe. He chose Secret Recipe. May be sebab dekat je dengan rumah.

Happy Father's Day. Papa & his princesses

Alysa & Ayra sharing 'Fish & Chips'. Tak habis pun..

My lunch. 'Pan-Grilled Dory in Lobster Sauce'

 After lunch & lepak kat SR tu dah 4pm, we headed to Juru Auto City & Stone City. Stone City tutup le pulak on Sundays. Niat tu nak pilih le tiles yang berkenan dihati for our minor house renovation. May be next time kena pegi pulak. Jamu mata kat Auto City pun no point gak cos tak semua showroom bukak. We might need a bigger car by the end of the year with the new addition of family member..:-).
 So, at last lepak kat beach. Punya le ramai orang. It was a hot day. Muka Baby pun dah kemerah-merahan. Tapi tak main pasir le coz ramai sangat orang. Main kat playground & tgk orang main kites je..:D

Another Addition

I've been feeling tired lately. Initially, I blamed it on being jet-lagged. But, It's been a week since I got back from Beijing, there must've been something else. So, today I act upon the nagging feeling that there'd be another addition to the family soon. Sure enough, after the test, it's very clear that Baby is going to be a big sister by the end of the year. Alhamdulillah. We did plan to get another baby before Hubby is 40. Well, he's still 40 by the end of the year..:-)

Baby Adalia - Day 2. A wanna be big sis.

Adalia - 3 weeks old

 For closure, I really hope that we'd get a boy. But, girl pun tak kisah asalkan sihat & selamat & jadi anak solehah. Amin..So, as usual, I'll be seeing Dr Zainol in a few months time. Just the normal check- ups. We normally did the labtests at Hubby's clinic. So, kalau pegi kat Dr Zainol just for regular check-ups.
 When I got the result this afternoon, I've been thinking about the medication I took for allergy. Hopefully, it's ok. Another weird thing was, when we were doing the Foot Massage in Beijing, while being briefed, the coordinator asked me whether i was pregnant. Of course I denied. Pelik gak apasal dia cakap cam tu kat I instead of to Ila as well...since I lagi kurus dari Ila.hehe..Sorry Ila..Rupa2nya may be ada aura or air muka orang preggy kut masa tu eventhough I was not aware of it myself. He said kalau preggy tak leh urut kaki & since rendam kaki tu pun dalam herbal bath, so mmg tak recommend kat this group. Harap2 tak de apa2 masalah...Insyaallah.
 Since I won't be cooking oily stuff in a few months time, the Siakap Stim I made a few days ago would be a good menu. I normally would start having evening sickness after the second month which lasted after the fourth month. Siakap Stim ni mmg simple & juicy. Senang sesangat nak buat. i waktu2 cam ni mmg alah kat oily food.

Siakap Stim

Bahan
1 ekor siakap ( I potong 2 )
1 tsp garam
2 tbs sos cili
2 tbs sos tiram
1 capsicum ( potong kecil )
1 tomato ( potong dadu )
1 inci halia ( hiris nipis )
1 bawang besar (di hiris nipis )

Cara:
1. Lumur siakap dengan garam, sos cili dan sos tiram.
2. Taburkan bahan2 lain di atas siakap.
3. Stim selama 1/2 jam.
4. Hidangkan bersama nasi panas.
   

Puteri Ayra Safiyya

Tiba2 je Adik dapat nama 'Puteri' yesterday. She went to an open house with Cik Jun. So, melawa la jugak siap berjaket lagi. Tak le nampak sexy sangat with sleeveless hehe.. That gown comes with a jacket. K.Jun bagitau, kawan2 dia dok puji adik comel macam baby doll. Peramah lak tu..siap salam semua orang! Eh.. betul ke adik ni.. Kalau dengan we all tak maunya dia salam dgn orang unless mood dia ok.

Since hubby's practise has the name 'Putra', they presumed nama Hubby pun ada Putra. Putra something..wakaka.. Since papa dah putra, anak kena la puterikan? So diaorang kata nama Adik Puteri Ayra Safiyya la..haha..Oooo..patutlah cantik..keturunan putera-puteri..( Ni diorang yang kata, bukan i yang kata..hehe..). Sure kembang-kuncup Adik masa tu kena puji. Well, she just loves attention!

Adik masa tengah ceria..

Adik masa raya..

Yesterday we continued with our fasting. Tekak ni rasa nak makan simple je. So, I made vege soup & Fish with Orange Sauce. Makan dengan nasi putih je. Resepi ni originally from Yani Myresipi ( Salmon Butter Lemon ). Tapi since I didn't have salmon & lemon, I pun modified le ikut apa yang ada. I used orange & Dory fish. Memang sedap giler. Thanks Yani.. Masa berbuka tu Alysa baru bangun tido. Tapi mulut tu sambil makan sambil memuji.."Hmm, sedapnya..Pandai mama masak...So delicious & scrumptious..etc,etc". Haha.. kembang kuncup mama kena puji. Hubby balik lambat sikit after I habis berbuka. Berbuka lambat le dia coz ada patient. Dia pun suka with this version. So, this recipe is definitely a keeper. Here's the recipe :( My version).

Fish with Orange Sauce

Ingredients

5 slices of dory fish

1 orange- squeezed for juice

1/2 cup water + 1/2 tsp corn flour

salt/pepper to taste

cooking oil

1 tbs butter

Directions:

1. Seasoned the fish slices with salt. Coat with corn flour. Sprinkle with pepper.

2. Put 2- 3 tbs cooking oil in a pan. Fry the coated fish on both sides until crispy. Set aside.

3. Melt 1 tbs butter. Add the water mixture. Then add the squeezed orange juice & orange zest. Cook until the sauce thickened. Season with salt. Pour onto the fried fish. Serve hot.

Makan...makan...

Since it's school holiday, ( won't affect me though since the princesses are not in school yet.) everyday we have wedding invitations. Yesterday we went to 2 weddings at Mamak Zakaria's & Hj Jamil's ( the ADO ).

Since lunch was loaded with rice, I made simple dinner last nite. Just Grilled Cheezy Dory & Potato Salad. Alysa & Adik loved the fish.

Grilled Cheezy Dory & Potato Salad

While talking to mak on the phone last nite, she said my nephews & nieces were coming over today. So Ila & I made plans for dinner. She'd prepare her signature dish, fruit salad and also a new recipe...( We made plans at a wedding!).

The spread we managed to prepare..

Clockwise: Durians given by mak (yum..yum..), Ila's fruit salad, Roasted Chicken ( so juicy....), Fettucine with Creamy Tomato Sauce, Creamy Au Gratin Potatoes, Creamy Orange Sauce, Ila's Cup cakes ( Don't know the name but it tasted good.. Alysa polished off 2 ).

With all the creamy & cheezy stuff that we've eaten tonight, some people would have to go on diet for a week! ( including me too...hehe..). Tapi since ada orang yang buat air sedap (Hubby la tu..bodek sikit haha..) yang ala2 masam tukan, to pacify those on diet, kira potong calories la tu..look who's talking! Other health & medical professionals who read this , pejam mata jelah with this theory okay? Wakaka...

Hubby went to play badminton tonight to burn off the calories he had loaded at dinner. Dia sorang je yang exercise. Other people ( u know who..) exercise mata je ( or may be suara ) watching Jangan Tegur..??

Looking at those delicious spread, Alysa managed to eat 2 cupcakes , 2 bowl of honey stars , a few glasses of Nestle strawberry yogurt drink & a bite of chicken. ( At least she ate!) Adik only ate a few bites of chicken, durian, honey stars & 2 bowl of milk ( prepared to be eaten with honey stars actually). Baby...telan air liur jelah ye sayang.. Hi...penat mama masak. Anak2 mama makan merapu je.

Adik & baby masa on the way to grocery shopping. Baby nampak lagi besar dari Kak Ngah! Masa shopping tu ada la >10x budak curly hair tu (aka adik la..) melalak due to 1 reason after another. Sigh... Letih betul..
