sugar cane drink

after having the sugar cane drink in genting, i wanted to make my own :-) obviously i needed sugar cane =_= there's a place near my house which has it & i'm hatching a plan to steal harvest it but to no avail :( then i went to aeon mlk & saw this :-0

so i bought a pack, only cost RM2.50

empty everything into the pot & boil till kingdom come!!!


wat the heck is couch grass???

anyways, while waiting, i made myself a cup of coffee :-)

i usually don't take local coffee but this one is really nice!

after boiling, the canes all kembang, i let it cool....

chai chai!!!!

so cute :-)

i tasted the carrots & it was tasteless :(

i chewed on the canes, they were sweet!

this is all i got =.= had to add sugar to it too

o ya, & uncle gave durians :-)

i like durians, Datuk Tan Kim Hock gave RMH staff durians & i got 8 biji of tan kim hock's specially planted durians! all were really yummy & mummy is the official durian opener :-)

sausage meal

After making the homemade sausages yesterday, we had them for lunch today. I wanted to eat it as if it were in a deli, so i had to make the sides....

traffic lights - into the oven u go!

somehow, i always end up burning the pine nuts :(


mummy insisted i use straw mushrooms for the gravy =_=

these are a huge lot!

caramelized onions in the making :)

half way there

i made a salad, the traffic lights go on top

sizzle the sausages :-) for the char coloured effect...

so this is what we had, pasta salad, traffic light salad, mash potatoes, caramelized (shrunken) onions, gravy & of course, the sausages ^^v

yummy! look like deli food, big D say it's gonna cost RM60 per person if really it THIS amount of food in deli...

sausage interior

we packed some to deliver to ah ma...

initially, big D say ah ma's one will be RM20, then he give senior's discount - RM15, lol... after all the manual labour ytd, big D requested that mummy take out the pasta machine which also comes with a sausage stuffer, lol

snake in my house :(

it was like super duper scary ok.... we came home from Jusco & i had bought a new fish to replace my dead guppy... so i eagerly opened all the windows in the house before mummy make a fuss that i play with my fish first & bla bla bla.... & to my horror, there was a snake on the window!!!!

at a glance, big D claimed it was outside...

but it wasn't! no doubt about that!

Big D halau it, expected it to be more action packed though =_=

freaky snake


Big D seems to like it!!

then lei, i went in search of our parang cos i expected Big D to kill it. mana tau he just let is slide onto the tree! it escaped unharmed!!! babi snake....

homemade sausages

it has been Big D's life long dream to make his own sausages. Over the past 100 years of his Big existance, Big D was forced to eat store bought sausages which were mainly made out of a meat paste where powderized meat flour was mixed with water, stuffed into a tube & sausage it is! one fine day, Big D just couldn't stand it any longer! it's time to make his Big Dream into a Big reality! He gonna make his own sausages!!!!

after several months of YouTube sausage making video watching & searching the entire internet for sausage skins in Malaysia (cos malaysia dun have anything non halal), the day finally came!!! drumroll.............! let the sausage making begin!!!

seasonings

gingerly grate the ginger


this is a must - sit on floor to mince meat

stick out tongue at meat & if possible, laugh at it, it will make meat tender

pork & beef

mix with sausage fingers, lol

better than kenwood lei!

plak plak plak!

once your done mixing, you need a Big funnel

stretch the pork intestines

squeeze out all the water

strap em onthe the make shift funnel

let the stuffing begin!

chopsticks will help

there'll be air pockets along the way

heheheh

i got to pop the air pockets with this needle :-)

once you got all the air out,

you getta do the twist!

twisting too hard result in sausage explosion :(

so nice :)

looks like those in the cartoons ya!

looks like those balloons that can be shaped into dogs!

finally, Big D pet em to a boil...

it's done once they start floating

drain em

sausages!!!

whole process took about 4 hours!

we'll be eating them as a meal tomoro :-)

i wan Big D to make all beef sausage la, i love beef!!! i also thought of making weird sausages such as cracking a whole egg into the skins & hust boil em :) hard boiled egg sausage ^^v will let u know how it turns out tomoro...
