Lontong Singapura, Pekan Masjid Tanah

Cerita lontong lagi nampaknya ni. Maaf lah kalau boring. Saya dlm "Misi mencari lontong yg sedap" or my friend kata, Raya sebelum puasa ... haha .. gara-gara hari tu xpuas hati kan. Lontong ni nampak lagi sedap, kan dr yg kat bawah tu? ;) 

I balik kg last week, jengah my nenek & tido kat kampung.  The next morning my cousin yg ni, whatsapp tanya "nak breakie lontong Spore sedap x? Famous in Masjid Tanah ni, kat fb ramai yg kata sedap so kena cepat la, org kata pukul 9am dah habis".  Akak pon tergoda, menggelupur bangun tau ... terus la kejutkan my laki & anak-anak2. Then pergi tanya cik Tom, anak my Indok kat rumah sebelah .. nak ikut ke x.

By 8am kami dah sampai simpang (which is Pekan Masjid Tanah tu, tp my family mmg refer tempat ni as simpang). Jumpa Deeda kat sana dgn anak dia (Cik Mermaid Pinky bangun pagi la that day sbb nak breakfast sama weols). Si Deeda ni pon xpernah try lagi this place, jadi lepas dah park kereta masing-masing kami pon mencari la kedai lontong tu yg dikatakan kat fb bertentang kedai ayamas. Bila dah nak menghampiri kedai ayamas tu, masing-masing macam dah cuak je dan tertanya-tanya ... sudah ... kedai dia tutup ke hari ni? Sbb nampak lengang sangat ... isyy ... takkan kedai yg dikatakan sedap ni xde orang ... bila sampai tgk kat roller shutter nampak la waktu operasi dia 8.30am - 12.30am.

Adoiii ... sabar je la ... apa nak buat setengah jam ni? Takkan nak balik? Nak xnak, kami round la pasar tani kat depan tu. Cik Mermaid Pinky baju pink tu beli la kuih lapis sbb kuih tu colour pink, I lak beli pokok 2 pasu dan sekeping murtabak sbb berkenan tgk murtabak tu cantik je rupa dia 4segi, org tu buat guna acuan.

Ni salah satu pokok yang I beli tu, Deeda kata pucat je ... macam sakit ... haha ... memang spesis dia macam ni lah.

Dah habis ronda jam baru pukul 8.20am. Kedai xbuka-buka lagi. We all melangut je la tepi longkang tu haa, sempat alih keta pulak lagi sementara tunggu kedai buka.

Bila kedai buka je terus meluru duduk, dah longoh mencangkung tepi longkang tadi. Terus order Lontong, Nasi Kukus Ayam Berempah & Soto. Cik Mermaid Pinky pulak minum air bandung. Eeii ... fanatik pink betul budak ni. Nasi Kukus & ayam tu biasa-biasa aje. Soto dia sedap (lupa lak nak snap sbb perut dh lapar), tapi begedilnya ... sedap lagi yg kami buat kat rumah ;)

Lontong dia sedap, ada paru goreng, isi-isi lodeh mcm tempe, sengkuang, kacang, tahu, kobis & suhun semua ada, just nice kuah nya pon xterlalu pekat or cair. Ada letak sambal kelapa juga. Ini baru la betul, lontong. Untuk harga RM4.50 semangkuk, I am very happy with the taste, kalau teringin nak makan lontong ala-ala kat rumah tapi malas nak buat, boleh la lepas kempunan kat sini. Even lontong kat Cafe Mak Jah, Ampang Jaya tu pun x sesedap & complete macam yg ni. Yeayy ... my craving for lontong sudah terlaksana akhirnya ... alhamdulillah.

Lepas breakfast cik Mermaid ni ikut balik rumah nekyang. Nak main dgn Hafiy & Haziq katanya. Oh ye, kami semua panggil dia mermaid sbb dia kata diri dia si mermaid karakter kartun Disney.

Lepas boring main dgn abang-abang, dia ikut my Indok balik rumah. Belek album kawin Indok, terus cakap inai kat jari dia dah habis. Nak pakai inai. I pon tolong la pakai kan ... dia suka je, until I gi lukis atas tangan ... lepas dah siap dia dok merungut & sorok2 tangan kat belakang ... muncungkan mulut & merungut ... "nanti mama marah, mama xbagi pakai kat tangan ... kat sini (jari) xpe ... nanti mama marah hana"  ... muka xpuas hati je ... suruh basuh inai kat tgn tu. Adoii ... pening kepala we all nak layankan dia psl inai tu sementara tunggu mama dia dtg ... 

Chocolate Marshmallow Slice to die for, for Hafiy's Birthday Celebration

Assalamualaikum & barakah monday peeps. Sedar xsedar kejap je dah masuk bulan 3. Rasa macam baru je lagi budak-budak naik sekolah. Cuaca sekarang panas betul mcm everyday je suhu cecah 37C or 38C, kesian mengenangkan anak-anak balik sekolah tengahari panas ni. Duduk dalam rumah pun rasa melekit-lekit je ketiak ni apa lagi budak-budak yg berjemur tengah panas tu. Itu la I ni asyik membebelkan anak je jangan lupa minum air kosong banyak-banyak. Kadang-kadang dah isikan air dalam botol masa turun kereta boleh dia tertinggal botol air. Adoii ... sabar je la.

Berbalik pada cerita brownies ni ... As I posted this pic on IG, Whatsapp group & Telegram, ada kawan-kawan yang dah bertanya resepi. Actually ada banyak entry lain yg pending but I have to make way for this one first lah since ada request. Thanks sgt to Kak Ayu for introducing this recipe lepas lebih 6 bulan sunyi sepi. I always trust her choice. Dia pun memberi laluan pada brownies ni dulu to break her silence on the blog, tentu special kan. Dan yang lagi tempting nya tu when she mentioned this brownies is to die for. So apa lagi, bila Hafiy request utk buat birthday celebration dia yg ke 1dekad as he keep on saying baru-baru ni (I guess he just learned about this istilah from Haziq) ;)  ... I pun pilih kek ni.

I didn't make it a big celebration pun sebab xde assistant mmg xlarat la ... just jemput family members yg kat area Ampang ni je and my uncle's family yg kat Kajang tu. Alhamdulillah, I made the right choice this time as semua yg makan bagi a very satisfactory comment. Bila I keluarkan kek tu dari fridge, semua dah excited sbb xpernah makan. The kids especially were more attracted because of the marshallows yg I tabur on top as decorations. Pastu drizzle with Hershey's choc syrup, mau x meleleh bila tengok, kan ... haha ...

Molases sugar Apple Crumble & BBQ pool party ;)

Ini dessert yang I buat 2 weeks ago. Sedap tau crumble ni. Gambar x berapa cun, xcukup nak kasi leleh and bakar orang lain utuk buat ...kes malu nak ambil gambar dessert sendiri kat rumah orang ... hehe .. Anak buah hubby jemput datang rumah baru dia, buat bbq pool party katanya ;) Jemputan datang pada tengahari hari yang sama. Macam xbest je datang lenggang kangkung ... so I pun check la my magic fridge, ada red apple ... so yg paling spontan I can think of masa tu is the Apple Crumble. Tetiba teringin lah nak buat crumble yg lain sket as a few days before that I saw a different recipe than the usual one I made kat blog dailydelicious. She added sugar to the crumble, buat I meronta-ronta nak tahu perbezaan rasanya ... haha. Berani betul kan, nak bawa gi rumah orang something I never tried before ... haha ... Alhamdulillah, I made the right choice and everyone seems to enjoy this dessert. It's not so sweet, so eating with vanilla ice cream will be great pair. This recipe is definitely a keeper and I'm gonna stick to it from now on.  Cuma I terkilan xde vanila ice cream to go with it. Nak buat vanilla sauce hari tu mmg xsempat la coz I also made kuih Kelepong a.k.a Buah Melaka.

Ammar .. mangsa rumah hantu Kak Senah

Antara aktiviti the kids tempohari masa cuti sekolah tu ialah menerokai rumah hantu .. hehe. Ni semua idea penyelia kem yg baru sampai dari KL masa tu la. Dalam pada takut, menangis, terjerit2 masa 1st time tu, masing-masing request lagi esok malamnya. Second night ... hantu2 nya dah kasi up lagi tahap keseraman, siap ada make up artist, script bagai. Kak Senah aka pakar kaunseling pon beria-ria bagi talk tiup semangat.  My anak si muncung pingu tu tunjuk macho offer diri nak jadi 1st person masuk. Dr luar yg lain ni dah cuak bila dengar suara si hafiy menjerit & menangis. Keluar pon still menangis lagi. So yg lain2 ni step back xmo masuk ... yg kelakarnya, dah semua takut, si penjaga tiket rumah hantu tu pulak merayau-rayau cari org nak suruh masuk. Tak mahu rugi bisnes katanya .. ;)

 

Penangan dr rumah hantu Kak Senah ... habis semua yg masuk tu demam, pening kepala (>_<). Yang kat bawah ni salah sorang darinya.

Bila ammar dah demam, cik siah pon dah naik amuk .. nak disekeh kepala penjaga tiket rmh hantu & hantu2 yg t'libat.. TAPI ... adakah dia sedar, anak dia yg sedang meningkat remaja tu salah sorang dr hantunya? Jangan x tau, tukang jaga tiket pun demam gak! ahahaha ...

Waktu ni dia tgh excited & tak sabar tunggu krew-krew rumah hantu buat persediaan.
