Iftar At Saloma Bistro

We had our Iftar today at Saloma Bistro. This is my treat for hubby’s birthday. We arrived at the place quite early n mingled around the area – MITC waiting for the Iftar. Taking photos n posing sana sini…

The place was pretty crowded with people. I could see there were also foreigners from Middle East joining us for Iftar.

The food I would say so so.. and not so many varieties. For the price of RM65 per person probably that’s what we get as mostly hotels in KL charge for Ramadhan Buffet from RM70++ to RM130++.

As for buffet if you really can eat a lot then it’s worth it. We left the place around 8.15pm n went to Pavillion. The place was so crowded with many people which I wonder what they were doing there. We just there for an hour as at 10pm the shops already closed.

We had a break, coffee with Icam n his wife. On the way back, Nabila n Hakeem were sleeping in the car tired hugging their newly bought toys.

Iftar's With Friends & Family

Today’s Iftar, hubby invited a few of his friends n my brothers – Paul & Amil. As usual I cooked rice n a few lauk pauk. I was so busy that I just managed to snap a few photos.

By the way, hubby seems to enjoy meeting his old school buddy. Nabila n Hakeem too were very happy n non-stop playing with their cousins.

We chatted till midnight n continued the session for teh tarik at our favourite Rafi restaurant.

Birthday Wish For My Husband

I would like to wish a very Happy Birthday to my dearest husband. Semoga panjang umur, sihat sentiasa dan dilindungi Allah S.W.T.

He is 41 years old today. Though he is a year older but he is still the same man that I first met. My hubby has a small body frame n shorter than me. To me he always looks like budak sekolah – this is supposed to be a compliment ye bang…

He is a man full with humour n always make everybody laughs especially my children. I fell in love with him for this reason – always make me happy n smile.

I am proud n blessed to have him in my life. He provides the family the best out of the best. Like my son always said – Ayah is a hero. He is indeed a hero in our family.

On this special day I pray n wish that Allah will give a good health, happiness to him n our family. You are a wonderful husband n I love you in every way. Happy Birthday..

Iftar With Family

Today Iftar, I have all my in-laws at home. My hubby’s eldest sister to the youngest one – Along, Kak Ngah, Nazri & Liza. Kak Ngah & Liza drove down from Malacca n arrived in the afternoon.

When arrived, Maisara n Uzma were quite bored as Nabila, Hakeem were at school. When they came back, all of them were non-stop playing. Then in the night came Fatini n Emir joining them. They really had a good time.

I cooked rice with ikan talang lemak cili api, sambal udang petai, ayam goreng kicap, ikan bakar, sayur kangkung plus lots n lots of kuih muih bought at pasar ramadhan n some brought by the guests.

After iftar, the session continued with coffee, chatting while forcing ourselves to eat the foods that bought at pasar ramadhan. Surprisingly semua habis…

Back To School

Today is the first new term n day for Nabila n Hakeem. After about 7 weeks break they were excited n looking forward to go to school today. They slept early last night n alhamdullilah woke up in the morning easily.

My two little ones have grown up so fast without I realize. Nabila is now in Year 2 and Hakeem is in Year 1. The one who is more excited was Hakeem. He was so proud to be in Year 1 as he always claimed that he is now a big boy, no more in Reception n wear different color of pants which represent for primary grown up in his school.

We arrived at school quite early this morning. The kids were glad to see their friends. Some of the friends will be separated to different classes. The day started with briefing at the theatre by the principal. The number of students at the school has increased tremendously.

As I am typing this, hubby is on the way fetching them. I am sure they will have lots of things to talk about their school today.

The Temptation

Today it’s again… about pasar ramadhan. But now it’s about what to buy when we go there? For the last two days we went to pasar ramadhan near the stadium Shah Alam. Me n hubby always have our own favourite food to buy when we go there.

I love to buy murtabak. I bought at Malacca for the last couple days n it was so disappointed. No filling except flour that looked like roti canai. Hubby loves roti john.

At pasar ramadhan Shah Alam, there is one stall sells roti john that I saw last year had a long que. I am not talking about long just like long but this is really long mcm ular melingkar which had probably more than 20 people lined up. Serious… this people really mempunyai tahap kesabaran yang cukup tinggi. I really wanted to try but looking at the que n kesabaranku tidak dapat menandingi mereka mereka itu… maka terbatal lah niat tu…

This year I saw they had two separate stalls – probably because of high demand from last year. So today we were lucky to have the chance eating this famous papa john. There were about 8 people in front of us but hubby said – it’s ok.. I will que up. hmm… semangat yg cukup tinggi

They have a few types of roti john. We ordered special roti john – RM5.50. Huh.. very expensive. Because of the curiosity to taste how good it is plus nafsu yg tinggi… didn’t mind to join the que n bought not only one but two! Hehehehehe

We tasted the roti john first thing for iftar. It tasted good n delicious but very salty. I don’t know whether it was only today tasted salty or maybe it was supposed to taste like that. Anyway we have no regrets buying it.

As for murtabak, I still couldn’t find the one that really taste nice. Anyway.. still have another 25 days to go…

First Day of Ramadhan

My first day of Ramadhan was at Malacca. We arrived on Friday evening. We had our first day sahur n iftar at kampong – my mother in-law’s house.

As usual n planned hubby, me n Haziq went to pasar ramadhan. We went to the one at Peringgit. As expected the road to go there was jammed with cars n motorbikes. It was quite difficult to get a parking.

Tetapi dengan semangat yang tinggi dan berwibawa, we got a parking dan sanggup mengahadapi segala dugaan dengan sabarnya....

The place was crowded with people. The long stretched of stalls sold all kind of foods from rice, noodles, drinks n lots lots more. We bought mostly kuih muih.

I love to go to pasar ramadhan. Sometimes I can find foods that I never seen or eat before or the one that I couldn’t make. I love to see the excitement in everybody’s face looking at all the foods. Some of them don’t mind waiting or queuing for the food that they want to buy.

Well.. either it is ‘teringin’, ‘terliur’, ‘kempunan’ or ‘nafsu’ – that doesn’t matter. No matter where the pasar ramadhan it will always packed with people. Today we might venture to the different pasar ramadhan. Hmm..... bersungguh-sungguh....
