BEST-est Roti Jala

My mom's roti jala is the best... but it's quite hard to learn from her because when she cooks, she doesn't follow any specific measurements. All will be based on her so-called 'instinct'. Thanks to Google, I tracked this recipe down and tried it for sooo many times, and it's error free....so far. LOL! Thanks to myResipi...

So let's check it out peeps...

Preparation for about 6-8 pax.

450gm flour, sifted + a pinch of salt

450 ml fresh milk (I used Dutch Lady Full Cream)

450 ml water

2-3 tbsp butter, melted over low heat + extra butter or vege oil (for cooking)

3 eggs, lightly beaten

Mix together the wet ingredients (i.e milk, half of water, eggs and butter). Add flour to the mixture and mix thoroughly. Continue to whisk while you add on water (slowly) to the mixture ... continue adding until texture of the mixture is just right (flows smoothly down the roti jala mold). Add light yellow coloring, if required.

** note - tapis the mixture if required - kalau ada bits of tepung in the mixture... Let the mixture stand for 30-45mins.

Jala the mixture on a flat pan on medium heat (for abt 2-3 mins) before you remove it from the pan. Serve while hot with chicken curry. Nice....

I am busy, I'm confused!

I have been very quiet this week.. no updates, no hopping around leaving any trail of my existence, probably due to the following reasons: 1. Nasreen will be having her exam next week, so I’m busy reviewing her syllabus (and also nagging to make sure she prepares herself). Yes, instead of her reviewing her books, the responsibility – by default – is shifted to me…. Hmm, mothers nowadays. We feel the pressure more than our kids (and we panic even more while waiting for the results to come out). Hehehe. I can’t remember my mother even touched my textbooks when I was in Primary 3. No wonder we grow old faster these days…. 2. I’m having mood swings this week. One day, I feel elated, then mellow on the next day, moody on the following day. Work is adding on my desk, scope is being expanded, news is floating around and remarks are beings smacked everywhere (manage to steer clear of some and the rest sometimes just landed right on my very lap). Don’t you hate it when you are so positive that ...

Angels - Mission Possible...!?

Last week was a week full of excitement for me. One, because I was busy with my work, so the week went by faster than usual…. (meaning: less time spent on ‘termenung’ & missing my husband); Two, my hubby dearest was scheduled to arrive on Friday night (3rd March 2006), the more reason for me be thrilled and eager counting the days; Three, me and the rest of March Angels ( Leilanie & T. Ina ) planned to meet up on Friday (3rd March 2006, also) to celebrate our birthdays and Leilanie had this fantastic idea of challenging ourselves to find gifts for the birthday mommies (and the gifts must cost less than 10 bucks each!) – and Leilanie, I must tell you that this challenge really made me sweat all afternoon on Thursday….. hehehe …and Four, me & my husband (and also the children) planned for a weekend getaway to Cyberview Lodge Resort & Spa on 4th & 5th March 2006. There I said it…..nothing much to say about point One & Two…. but point Three and Four…..definitely!!!...

Yes, I’ve been blessed with a lot of wonderful people around me….. yes friends, you! Read on…. Yesterday, around 6.15pm, I was in the middle of reviewing something when I was called for a meeting with one of big bosses here…. And I was thinking in anger, ‘Great! It’s 6.30pm and they want to have a meeting. Don’t they have families to run back home to????” So I got up from my chair and ran down to one of the meeting rooms in Level 5. I peeped through the small glass and the room was dark and empty. They were not even they yet! Heck! But when I pushed open the door, suddenly I heard people screaming and laughing and shouting, “Happy Birthday To You!!!!” and everyone was holding a candle in their hand. Gosh! My colleagues planned a Birthday Party for me. No wonder the department was empty when I left and I didn’t even notice. I was speechless! I was asked to blow the candles that they were holding and those on the cake (oh! The cake was so yummylicious!) I was so touched. Everybody was th...
