Mengidam Spaghetti

So my parents are in Rome (I know...me so jealous 😭) having the time of their lives. And then my mom sent me this:

huwaa memang nangis tepi bucu katil lah aku. Spaghetti in Italy memang is danbomb I tell you.

I can practically taste the spaghetti I had with Aiman masa makan kat Venice that day. Which was like 8 years ago.

Craving for spaghetti I pon went to the supermarket and ta-da!!!

Ok fine! Kantoi its just Prego. Tasted nothing like the one I tried in Italy. But oh well, at least now that I'm full I'm not craving anymore. For now that is.

areej cooks: laab

Sejak masuk bulan Syawal and started to eat non stop, I get hungry quite easily.

So today, coz I rajin memasak sebenarnya and malas nak go out to grab a quick lunch like I usually do.

Actually sebab takde transport pon sebenarnya nak go out 😂

I took a peek inside the freezer and found some minced meat. Setotek je pon. Oh well, enough lah for myself (hubs is out ada kerja).

Guess what I decided to cook -- LAAB! My favorite thai food ever. And it's healthy too. No oil needed. Sesuai sangat kalau nak kurus. Tapi tak kurus-kurus jugak.

Just stir fry the minced meat until kering, add some laab mix with water, stir again. 

Didn't have any basil leaves lying around, so I ganti with makrud 😂. Aci tak? Please #jangankecam ye para thai food lovers.

And...we are DONE!

There you go, there's my beautiful and oh so yummy LAAB!

Makan dengan nasi putih panas-panas! Memang umpph! And telur masin pon nice combination 😋

Tod man pla for lunch

Yeee dari pagi lagi perut memulas. Must be the tonnes of golden mushrooms I had for dinner last night. Memang kalau makan mushrooms banyak sakit perut. Must be the fibre. Tapi can't help it laa sebab sedapp!!!

So I had three meetings this morning. Satu habuk pon aku tak attend sebab tak sihat  kan?? Tapi mampu lagi (or TERPAKSA more like it) buat kerja juga dari rumah (deadline dah dekat okay!). 

Anak2 at school, laki gi kerja so aku nak makan apa?

My favourite TOD MAN PLA lah. Cheewah kalau bab makanan memang aku terer la cakap siam. (Tapi nama makanan je la aku tau).

And its ready made (and ready goreng oredi) tapi frozen. So all I gotta do is sumbat dalam microwave for 2 minits and ta-daa!!!! Ready to gobble gobble!

Alaa macam smart chef kat channel LI tu laa. Apa? 'Cook Smarter' kan?? (Err...more like 'cook malas' to me).

Sorry darlings. I don't have recipe untuk tod man pla yg sedap ni. Tapi kalau u olls nak rasa tod man pla yg authentic and sedap boleh ke restoran Alissara kat Puchong. Address aku takde. Alaa google je...

Cantik kan tarikh hari ni? Mesti ramai orang kawin hari ni. Dah la hari Ahad cuti. Tapi kalu byk kenduri pon bukannya aku dapat gi pon duk jauh2 gini. Adui laa rendoo nak pakai baju lawa g kenduri mkn yg best2. Yeah Areej, we know…dah banyak kali kau cakap kan.

.

Walaupon sekarang dah bulan 10, sepatutnya dah sejuk. Tapi tahun ni mcm tak sejuk2 lagi. Still panas. Panas sampai tahap aku leh pakai sehelai je baju. Pastu nak tido malam2 pon kene buka tingkap. Hmm…tanda2 kiamat dah dekat kah?

.

Anyway, as today was such a lovely day, kami g jalan2. Kat mana lagi pagi2 hari gini kalau bukan ke carboot. Dua buah carboot pulak tu. Amru mcm biasa lah, asal naik kereta/pushchair je tidooooo. Mujo gok last2 dia bangun jugak, tengok dunia.

.

Konon2nya candid lah.

.

Tengah tido pon senyum. Happy sokmo budok ni deh. Kene pakai raincover jap coz waktu ni angin bayu membawa diriku kuat sangat.

.

Besar sungguh anjing tu.

.

Makan hot jacket potato. Satu2nya makanan mat salleh yang sedap sikit kalu nak ikut taste melayuku.

.

Makan x ingat dunia/anok 

.

On the way balik, singgah rumah Danish kawan Amru jap. Tidur je si budak kecik ni. Cute je! Tapi aku tak pandai amik gambar so jadi macam ni, terserlah lah kebotakkan Amru

Sekian berita hari ini.
