Big Apple donuts merdeka special.

Here's another reason for May Pin to like her birthday (along with the other merdeka babies)... In conjunction with merdeka, it seems that lots of free stuff & discounts like to be given away. One of them is Big Apple donuts. I happened to stumble upon the news in facebook. since i read the star at home, might as well look for the coupon. since i found the coupon, might as well use it rite :-)


the news paper cut out...


our bag of big apples


our box of big apples


yeah, RM6 for 6 donuts!


yummy yummies :)

we like the new flavours... we had it for tea. hope they have more promos ^_^

Happy Birthday May Pin!

Today is 31st August... It's May Pin's Birthday!!!! at school, we somehow envied her cos she gets free cakes & dinning vouchers on her birthday (being a Merdeka baby)... anyway, happy birthday May Pin!!!

a tale of the claypot "lou see fun" 老鼠粉

*** This is a continuation from "a tale of the claypot chicken rice"...


After the evil mummy had gone to sleep, the poor Princess had to continue preparing dinner~! She could not find the chicken & asked mummy for help then mummy was like -

MumZilla : Twerp!
Princess : Meeeee, i can't find the chicken la...
MumZilla : Can't find?!?!?! God give you eyes for wat?!?!?! Wan die ah?!!?!
Why do I have to do everything???
Princess : ???
MumZilla : here! i found it, don't kacau me, i wanna sleep :-) heheheeee i no need to cook dinner!!!! mwahahahahah!!!!


when the chicken thaw, debone it...


use the bones to make stock...


dice the meat... season it...


soak some mushrooms & slice them


mince some chillies & salted vege...


fry it all!!!!


Use the stock to make a gravy, any typre of oriental gravy you like... spicy would also be good ^_^


put it aside...


heat up the claypot...


spoon in the gravy & wait for it to sizzle...


add in the "lou see fun" 老鼠粉 & chicken meat.


sizzle sizzle & it's done! garnish & enjoy!


evil mummy said it was flavourful but i saw her adding tonnes of soya sauce!!! so greedy, eat this not enough, eat the spare pot of chicken rice lagi!

a tale of the Claypot Chicken Rice.

it's thursday today. the sky is clear (in the morning). the birds are singing & the bees are buzzing & chai chai is hiding. Princess woke up at 10am cos she could. Princess did the usual morning stuff & took her journey downstairs. She walked into the kitchen & found that mummy had already prepared the items for lunch...


lettuce washed & dried...


"lap cheong" 腊肠, mushrooms soaking & spring onions hung to dry.


lotus root soup boiling...


but where is the cook? all was in place & it seemed we were having rice pot chicken rice... so i then proceeded to look for my mummy, fearing that the cat she had talked about (the cat that crawled into our kitchen by the window) had come to take my mummy away. to my dismay, i found mummy sitting on MY THRONE!!!

not like she doesn't have her OWN chair!


she then tricked forced me into cooking lunch! she was like -

MumZilla : Twerp! cook lunch! or else!!!!
Princess : But Mummy.... i didn't do enough research on how to cook it...
MumZilla : No no nononononoz!!! u cook lunch! i wanna watch tv. hurry or we'll all starve! u cook!!! then u can play with those mini pots u like so much! U COOK!!!


So wat to do... sigh... lucky thing chai chai boy came & made me happy ^_^ nyek nyek nyek!!!

chai chai came for a visit :-)


go home so fast...


so i then proceeded to cook the claypot chicken rice my way. cook the rice with a bone & ginger in a rice pot...

done!


debone the chicken & season...


fry the salted fish...


fry the lap cheong


assemble the ingredients on top the cooked rice...


we do it this way so we don't waste time waiting for the rice to cook in the minipot... make sure to add some water into the pot cos the meat will cook when the steam reaches the top.

we should get more stoves...


crack an egg :)


this is mine :-)


i like it :-) put garnishings... & stir!


Doesn't it remind you of Kampar???


the stired up rice,


the lettuce,


& a soup?


Definately something like kampar, minus the ulu town :-) hehehe... the rice at the bottom of the pot will turn out burnt & give an aroma & crunchiness :-) to my horror, mummy told me i'm cooking dinner as well!!!


* watch out mummy
