My New Kitchen Cabinet

My new kitchen cabinet. I choose white 3G glass for the upper cabinet and melamine for the lower cabinet because I want to install lock to the doors of the lower cabinet. This to prevent from my son to open it and break anything inside the cabinet. I did a pull out table. It cost around RM6K. It is a high an spec, pls refer to my previous blog how to recognise high end spec, http://ayeenspace.blogspot.com/2012/09/kitchen-cabinet-lesson-101.html



Before the installation. What a mess.

Before the installation

The table top is concrete and the tiles is black galaxy.

Anti cockroach wood. It is proven on top of the wood itself.

 

New wardrobe

At last my master bedroom has a wardrobe. We got it cheap around RM399 in one of thr furniture shop in Klang. The best thing is it is 8'inch width. I think it is worth the money. We add a mirror to the wardrobe.

Sofa Bed

We bought a sofa bed in an expo. At last the sofa finally arrived. The best part of this sofa bed is it can be turn 3 ways. It is 3 seater. It costs us around RM1,399.

the new arrival sofa still in the box.

Impressed with the sofa.

It can turn 3 ways. This is one of the ways. It is a sofa and can be flat like a bed.

laminate flooring

tadaaaa....on Sunday, the shop came to install floor in my masterbedroom. Previously, the room have only tiles and apart from it is still cement floor. I had to give in to my hubby choice because the grill pattern was my choice and he hates one of the leaves on the grill. To make him stop saying about the grill, I had to give in with the floor choice. I prefer 4 patterns on a plank. While he prefers one pattern on one plank. He told me it will make the room look bigger.

Anyway, when it finished, it was superb. I loved my room. Now you will feel you want to stay in it. Even my son loves it. He will stomped his feet on it and bring his fire brigade toy in the room.

My room size is 10' x 14'. We bought it from home deco expo. It cost around RM1,200.

Let's browse my beautiful floor. I loved it. The room looks more spacious. *tip: always put the lines at the longer side and it will make your room looks bigger.

Cookies time

Every year, I was amongst the hardworking person that like to bake raya cookies. For me, if I did not bake the cookies it will no feel the raya mood because we don't fry lemang nor cook dodol.

For this year, I baked cookies a bit earlier because this year I'm going back to kg. It is my very first year going to spend in kg. Hopefully it will be fun as it sounds. Raya falls on Tuesday and Wednesday. On Wednesday is Merdeka day so we got another day of holiday. We plan to go back on Sunday night so that my hubby got the chance to break fast with his family the next day. We coming back on friday so that on Saturday and Sunday, we can go round and visit my families.

These are a few cookies that I managed to do.

This is my first time trying this ice cream biscuit. Got the recipe from the internet. It is the most tidious cookies that I have to make so far. The first tray I did it wrongly. I put the yellow egg, chocolate then I baked the cookies. It chocolate melt badly and spoilt the looks of it. After that Antymah told me to baked first with the yellow egg only then u dip it in the chocolate and sprinkles the colourful rice. It turned out to be beautiful. The chocolate will be hardened by itself. The most fav of all. I had this recipe from a chef book, Chef Kamarul. Even i brought it to office everyone asking me for the recipe. It is also my niece favoruite, rahman.

Badam cookies

tart biscuits

This is my all time fav. Every year I will bag Antymah to do this cookies first. Eventhough it is very troublesome to make the flower shape due to its hardness after a while exposed to the air but it still my fav...yum..yum..

1 tin sardin
1 ulas bawang merah(dicincang)
1 ulas bawang putih (dicincang)

Masukkan pula garam. Kacau lagi hingga kering. Angkat dan ketepikan.
Sediakan roti. Potong semua bahagian tepinya(kerak) jika suka. Kemudian leperkan dengan rolling pin. (Coz cannot find my rolling pin I just using my knife to make it leper).
Sapukan semua bahagian tepinya dengan telur. Kemudian letakkan inti ayam tadi di tengah-tengahnya. Lipat seperti bentuk triangle dan tekan kemas bahagian tepinya dengan garpu.
Sediakan minyak untuk goreng terendam. Gunakan api sederhana. Apabila sudah cukup panas, gorenglah roti tadi hingga keemasan. (MINYAK JANGAN TERLALU PANAS, nanti roti jadi hangus). Setelah masak dan garing, angkat dan toskan.

Eventhough im quite envy with Kate for having the most of the women's dream that are rich, handsome and more over he is a Prince. I watched her travelled all around the world with her Prince. To the extend, I want to wish to God to get the same things after I go to heaven..hehehe.
