Q Jelly

Recently, we went to a DIY shop in Bandar Puteri.. Just happen on that day, there was a grand opening of a cake shop. Curious, we went in to take a look.

This is a cake shop not selling conventional cakes but jelly cakes. Just take a look at the beautiful design.








This is my favourite, Christmas tree




This doesn’t come cheap though. They do not have pricing for the above, but the simpler one tier jelly cake in display cost about RM80 plus. I guess they have to charge a lot for their labor and skills.

However, just look at the colouring… Imagine small kids consuming all those colouring…

Big T Small T

Every time during school holiday, Big M would put on weight. If you are bored, what better thing to do than eating… plus, now its rain almost every evening, no chance to go to park.

Hee hee hee… look at my Big Tummy, one big watermelon…




Not wanting to be out done, Small M wants to show off his tummy too…

Look at me.. a lean spare ribs…




Big T, Small T.




Enough of tummies, see us rapped instead…

Eventful journey

As I mentioned in the previous post, the Supervisor maid has gone back home for one month break. She experienced an eventful journey. Hope she wasn't traumatized by it. Let me share her story...

Her flight was on 5pm Saturday. However, the flight was delay until 9pm. After boarding the plane, they were ushered down again because the plane's door cannot close properly. These boarding and unboarding the plane occured 3-4 times and the plane finally depart at 12am. On the same night, I checked my email noticed that there was a email from Transnusa informing that her connecting flight to Sumba at 12.30pm Sunday was postponed to Monday.

She then decided to stay a night at her husband's brother home at Bali. On Sunday, 2 of the relative's children died because motobike accident. On Monday, she flew to Sumba bringing two coffin with her...

She called me before the flight took off and related the story to me while still sobbing...Finally, when I called her at 5.15pm the same say, she told me she has just reached her home and saw her two children after 4 years...

Slow in updating recently...

The Supervisor maid has gone home for one month break. Small M resisted the Blur Maid and insisted everthing must be done by mummy, otherwise, he would cry and cough out all his stomach content. Seeing the mummy doing everthing for Small M, Big M also wants everthing be done by mummy too.

My time now mostly involve the 2 M's and finally when they are asleep, I am half way to dreamland too...zzz

Express Tiramisu at Starbuck

Few days after trying their Ipanema cake, I tried their cake again, Express Tiramisu.




The cake was not to my liking at all. The coffee taste was weak, the mascorpone cream taste was weak, infact, there was no tiramisu aroma around it. Nothing like Tiramisu cake from Alexis or Italiannies.

It did taste like something was not right and guess what...

I took the cake around 2pm, not long after that, keep on burping out the little taste that the cake had, started feeling nauseous and tummy ache 2-3 hours later. To cut the story short, I have food poisoning for the next 2 days! Instead of taking care of Old M in the hospital, he had to worry over me.

Would I try the cake again?

Ipanema Cake, Starbuck

Ipanema Cake at Starbuck

Recently, while waiting for an appointment, I bought a slice of Ipanema Cake at Starbuck.




This was a very chocolatety cake with rich chocolate sponge cake layered with chocolate cream. The top part taste like chocolate fudge.

In the middle of the cake, there was a thin layer of cream that taste like coconut. Unless you spooned the cream by itself, you wouldn’t be able to taste the coconut since the chocolate overwhelmed it. I would prefer more of the cream so that the cake would have a more distinguished taste as compared to other rich chocolate cakes.

This cake would definitely satisfy my craving for chocolate cakes but it was not extraordinary (unless it has more coconut cream?)

And here is the net price for the cake.

Prawn Crisps

This is a super easy recipe:

250g prawns or shrimps
5 tbsp flour
1/2 rice bowl of water (use more if you want extra crispy or use less for slightly chewy inside)
Pinch of salt
Pinch of sugar
Pinch or pepper
1/2 tsp of ENO (or Sodium Bicarbonate)
Enough oil for frying

1) Mix flour with water

2) Add salt, sugar, pepper and prawns




3) Just before frying, add in Eno




4) Scoope using tablespoon and pour into hot oil

4) Fry until golden brown


Super easy isn't?

2nd Operation

It has been some time since I update my blog. This is because Old M underwent a 2nd slipped disk operation last Monday, in differrent hospital, with different doctor, of course.

Before the surgery, the new doctor told us that a new slipped disk right after a slipped disk operation does happen, although not often. After the operation, the new doctor asked us questions that for me were quite puzzling.

New doc.: Does your previous operation was done at a short time?

Old M: No, It took about 2 hours too...

New doc: Hmm... I see.. (after a while, he asked again). The disk that he took out, is it in one piece or many pieces?

Old M: Many pieces.

New doc: If the disk was taken out in one piece, we can be sure we have taken out all the slipped disk. If the disk was broken to small pieces, sometimes it can be difficult to see if all the disks were out

Me: Does that means the previous doc did not take all the slipped disk out in the operation as my husband felt the pain only few days after the surgery?

New doc: This s a very good question, but I cannot answer you that...


So,you see, that is why I say it was puzzling. Maybe he saw something or suspected something but dare not say anything for sure? You tell me...

Old M is week after the 2nd op. Doctor says this is expected and it would take longer time to recuperate.
