Homemade Chicken Ham

I find the HALAL chicken ham sold at
Cold Storage
ridiculously over priced.

Well, not really, if you buy it occassionally...

But for one who buys them on regular basis,

It is NOT cheap, hokay!!

So,

the only way to give in to my ngada-ngada tekak

tanpa melarikan budget pasar,

is to have it,

what else, but home made?

Very Leceh,

I tell you!

No, not the process....

But the fact that it takes me at least

before I get to savour its

juicy, tender, succulent white flesh....

Evenly marinated... the longer, the better

Marinate ikut suka hati kamu....

Roll it firm....

Clingwrap-ed tightly....

Tie em' secure...

Tis' to prevent the chicken from expanding when you boil it later...

Refrigerate...

Slow boil the rolls in a pot of boiling water for 10-15minutes....

Cut the strings & Remove the clingwrap...

*Do not throw the water*

Leave to cool at room temperature for 8 hours....

Arrange them back in the container,

pour over the leftover liquid....

Chill for 24hours...

See its smooth texture...

Happy Birthday, Noah

Cuzzins on the stairs...

Dinner Sogok

Had a dept 'pat-on-the-back' dinner.

Memang patut pun!
Kerja macam nak mampus,
kalau tak profitable jugak,
tak tahu apa nak cakap!

Okaylah....
Since

Boss

aka tua kutuk, tua nak mampos, maha pelokek, macamlah duit poket dia sendiri,

dah sogok kita dengan dinner yg tak seberapa kan,
the least we could do,
cekik ajerlah!
Dah bagus dia tak suruh bayar sendiri!

Eh Tua,

Promise ah...,

HongKong In November!?

Nature Walk

A Pleasant Evening....

I've just finished washing the dishes.

The guys had just left.

It sure feels great to get together again.

Abah's initial plan to celebrate my birthday at Bali Thai,

was somehow, after much careful consideration,

was switched to just dinner at home.

And so they appeared,

greetings at the door, heavily laden with

satay, thai chilli chicken, sea bass,

among other delicacies.

Thanks, guys...

for the wonderful dinner

& a pleasant evening...

And thanks for celebrating my birthday with me...

What say u?

I noticed that my Mikhail

don't follow my traits, well some of it at least.

Dat is, the ability to pronounce words as a whole,

by the tender age of 2.

Not a worrying sign though...

He'll get up to speed, I know he will.

But then,

as I always remind myself,

to keep my ears open as I might just catch him

uttering a word or two, or even a complete sentence.

He usually does it once and won't repeat it again for awhile

or till he feels like it.

True enuff...

On one occassion,

Mom was in the bathroom and Mika was looking for her....

Mom couldn't believe her ears! She listened intently again.

Chewah!

Last Weekend,

he went into the study, looked @ Keerook,

And this morning,

while walking to Mom's

he suddenly exclaimed,

"Amik! Amik"

Amik apa? I asked, but continued walking.

"Amik! Amik!"

So I gave him a benefit of a doubt,

turned around,

and before I could finished asking

There, I saw, on the grass patch,

his hat which had fallen off his head just a second ago!

Smart Boy!

Like Mom said,

Eat-Till-You-Drop

It was a so-called outing I sooo looked forward to!
.
.
.

Nevermind the unexpected turn of events!
Still not enough to dampen our fighting eating spirits!
.
.
.
And I loved medical check ups @ hospitals.
They are oh-so generous with MCs.
All you have to do is just ASK.

Sure can get one!

*Tsk! Next appt would be in July 2007! Chet!!!*

With MC in hand,

Ramen Ten @ FarEast Plaza,

to satisfy our feeling-Japanese tekak.

My second's and Her first.
