Assorted Cheddar sausage buns

This is my first try making sausage buns...I did it using " mesin menguli tangan berkuasa tinggi"...or high volt hand kneading machine..the original machine that I got...I did that buns this afternoon after having leasure time with my childreen at baby swimming pool.

Semua ni gara-gara teringin nak makan sausage bun and motivasi dari Kak Nina..one of Palmy's friend..Tiada sukatan khusus untuk buat roti ni..I just try it according donut preparation...Because my dauhter loves donut..Here are some of bun's pictures..

Gambar sebelum masuk oven untuk dibakar...roti baru "naik"

Tarra...Assorted sausage buns...dah siap..

Alhamdulillah..menjadi dan sedia untuk dimakan...I put some sugar and cheese after brush the buns with egg...

cerita cerita....penawar duka...

Nothing much to put in this entry...







Just wanna share my experienced..Last night, I cooked one traditional food " Seri muka" a.k.a PULUT SEKAYA bak kata org kedah...disebabakan i don't have any steamer which enough to make this food, So i borrowed it from Sis Syam (sifu for traditional food)...This traditional food is my favourite food..."Tok, teringat pulut sekaya tok ni..."so by hook or by crook, i need to learn to di this food..kalu tak..sampai bila pun memang tak tahu buat.

Step pertama:"blog hopping" for that recipe..at last i found it in "Dapur Kak Hanieliza"...salin resepi..and tengok segala keperluan untuk menyediakan pulut sekaya ni...so kalu sesiapa yang nak resepi ni..kena melawat dapur kak hanie lah yer..

Step kedua:ape lagi kalu bukan ke rumah kak syam..pinjam periuk kukus...

Step ketiga: Mulakan "bersilat" di dapur...jeng..jeng..jeng

Actually masa memulakan operasi di dapur ni bermula jam 5.30 petang, selepas selesai fetch Najlaa from kindy..and went back from Massey University..My daughter's Kindy (Riverdale) held "special day" for special person..so I need to join her activities at her kindy..

Berbalik cerita "serimuka'..proses mengukus pulut berjalan dengan lancar, but proses menyediakan inti diatas pulut berlaku beberapa insiden...My INTI tak menjadi...agak berkuah di atas serimuka..so tak dapat potong lagi pada mlm kejadian tu...Saya biar semalamam...esoknyer..saya grill pulak kuih serimuka tu...barulah keras skit..Alhamdulillah...walaupun tak seperti kuih serimuka org lain..kuih serimuka saya seperti gambar di atas..I WILL TRY IT NEXT TIME..sampai menjadi..InsyaAllah..mungkin saya kurang letak tepung masa "memblander" inti tue...

Begitulah pengalaman saya dalam menyediakan kuih serimuka..buat kali pertama sepanjang hidup saya..

The end

Starting new world...

Short story..for my little time...

My son just get into his new world..." BERJALAN a.k.a dapat kaki"..Alahmdulillah..and my job become more busier than before..his favourite place????...Most of the time he walks to the kitchen, arranging all plates and bowls in the cabinet..


May be starting from now...I'm will not updating my blog everyday...But i read my friends's blog everytime I with my "Green"laptop.."So jadi pembaca yang setia @ pengunjung sepi"...kerja rumah "tag" dari seorang sahabat blog pun tak dpt dibuat lagi..sorry yer cikgu SUZI....

Ok minta diri dulu..wassalam

Library session

Sorry for not updating this blog for two days..freeze....stuck...e.t.c..
(Most of the time my little Hero started shows his jelousy when mama more concerntrating with laptop..he...he..)

Today, Thursday..13th November 2008...

After sending our Malaysian brother (Bro Saifuldin)to the Palmy Airport this morning we planned to go to City Library..(actually we just accompanied Bro Saifuldin's family) ...Bro Din went back to Malaysia (for 3 weeks) alone because he will be presenting his paper in Taiwan..

We went to the library with Sis Nina (Bro.Din's wife)..and my little princess was very happy because she wanna play computer there...and the most important thing..borrow new DVD's again...That is the best part..Here are some pics that of this library (Children area)..

at computer's children area..
(Najlaa and Ashraf are playing Dora the Explorer and Blues Clues Game)

at Children's slide area..with Kiwi friends

Looking at this Library (focusing on Childern area) makes me thinking, why I don't have chances to be at library like this when I was childhood..(saje jer terfikir)..and why we can't create a library like this...(people don't feel annoying to go to and be in the library)...

Me, not going to ESOL class today...but I know today's topic which is "After Election"..quite a tough topic for me..it continue from the last class's topic which was " Before Election".

Last Saturday, 8th November 2008, NZ just had their election day..For me its looks like calm election because no Flyers are hanging all around NZ..just one or two big banner...This is the peaceful election..(without any street demonstration and etc)...

This Saturday, one of new Malaysian member (just arrived end of last October) will be moving to our neighbourhood..So we are now three neighbourhood Malaysian family all together at Botanical Road (only one KIWI neighbour at our residential compound)..(Tak leh lawan College Street, sebab semua Malaysian kat situ..)Welcome to New Zealand to Sister Azira and Bro Hezal..

The end.

Gardening...

My other hobby....GARDENING..

Beside baking (experimenting several recipes)...(pic:my second last experiment...before i update this entry..Boysenberry Marble Cake)...Alhamdulillah menjadi..cuma bila masak..boysberry jatuh ke bawah sebab berat kan..but..its like boysenberry jam under the cake..he..he..

Christchurch

27 & 28 October 2008 : Christchurch ( Last Episode)

Setelah 5 jam perjalanan, kami pun sampai di Christchurch...kami menginap di YHA Christchurch City Central...Lepas check-in di YHA Hostel, kami ronda2 di Chrictchurch City...sambil cari makan malam..bukannya apa..stok yg ada untuk esok pagi jer...Firstly, cari Kebab..kedai TUTUP...lagipun masa tu Labour Day of NZ...tgh kami asyik dok bergambar...hubby nampak Kedai Kebab dibuka. Hubby terus kesana..(Nasib baik dekat jer dengan kawasan bergambar)...rupanya Tokey Kedai hanya nak ambil barang, bukan buka kedai...dia suggest kedai Little India..Halal katanya..So kami pun terus ke sana...takeaway and mkn di bilik...

Di Christchurch, binaan bangunan-bangunannya memang cantik...Gambar-gambar dibawah antara gambar yg sempat saya 'snap"kan untuk tatapan sahabat2 sekelian..

The Art Center of Christchurch

Christchurch's Tram

Najlaa at " BIG CHESS"

Botanic Garden of Christchurch

Lebih kurang jam 12.30 kami bertolak ke airport...dan sempat lagi menyinggah di Canterbury University of NZ..University yang agak cantik bagi saya...Cuma sempat snap beberapa gamabar sahaja...Gambar entrance adalah salah satunya...

Lepas Canterbury University, kami menyinggah pula di International Antartic Center...kat sini kalau nak tengok penguin bolehlah..tapi kami mmg dah tak sempat, sebab kena pulangkan kereta sewa jam 1.30pm...so stop depan bangunan jer..he..he..
Lepas pulangkan kereta, officer Thrifty Car Rental check condition kereta...3.30pm..kami pun fly balik ke Palmy (28 October 2008)...Fuhh..penat sungguh berjalan...Gambar dibawah inilah teman setia kami sepanjang perjalanan..maklumlah tak mampu nak beli GPS..he..he..jgn marah..

Sekian sahaja episod pengembaraan keluarga kali ini..Semoga pengalaman kami yang sedikit ini dapat memberi manafaat buat semua...Terima kasih buat Bro Ziad yang sudi menghantar dan menjemput kami di Airport...THE END..

Cadbury World, Dunedin

27 October 2008 :Cadbury World, Dunedin

Lepas breakfast..kami terus "shot" ke Cadbury World..bukannya ape...perjalanan kali ni yang paling lama..sebab dari Dunedin ke Christchurch lebih kurang 5 jam...melalui Oamaru dan Timaru..macam dari KL nak balik Kedah je..Kalau di Malaysia ada bnyk R&R...he..he..

Alhamdulillah..Kami dapat masuk trip yang pukul 10.15 di Cadbury World.Pakej yang diambil hanya tour 45 minutes...disebabkan kami visit that Cadbury on Labour Day of NZ..so The factory not running today..Kalau tidak..boleh tengok pemprosesan Chocolate..Tour yang kami ambil hanya tour pendek, slide presentation of the history of the Cadbury and melawat kawasan sekitarnya...Byrn masuk hanya untuk hubby and me because Najlaa and Najmi below 4 years and goodies for all af us..kira ok lah kan..

Here are some of the pictures...

kereta yang digunakan untuk 'menganggkut' chocolate dulu-dulu

Dalam ni pun ada play center for kids..

Chocolate yang dapat dibeli masa di Cadbury World Shop...skit jer..sbb goodies pun dah banyak Chocolate dia kasi..Alhamdulillah...Lepas visit Cadbury World, kami terus bertolak ke Christchurch.

Perjalanan ke Christchurch paling memenatkan bagi saya..Tapi bila dah sampai..Lega rasanya..Disebabkan kami di Dunedin and Christchurch (nanti) waktu Labour Day, so tak bnyk sgt shop yang buka...Next entry...Christchurch..Town yang penuh dengan rekaan bangunan yang cantik2..

Journey to Dunedin

26 October 2008 : Journey to Dunedin

Kami check-out lambat dr Te Anau YHA...jam 10 pagi..bukannya apa..penat berjalan setelah 6 hari berjalan-jalan..dengan Najmi yang baru betul2 sihat...Alhamdulillah..Najmi dah kembali berselera makan seperti selalu...sejak demam 3 hari yang lalu, dia hilang selera makan...Gambar-gambar di bawah ialah permandangan yang dpt saya "snap" sepanjang perjalanan ke Dunedin..di Dunedin, kami bermalam di rumah Abang Sabry..one of Malaysian PhD student...

Here is the pictures when we are on our way to Dunedin...take a look...


Last night di Te Anau..sejuk sangat..tengok2 esok..salji penuh kat atas gunung..patutlah sejuk..Tak sangka kan..walaupun sekarang musim spring nak ke summer..snow masih tebal di sini...so sepanjang perjalanan kami..mmg nampak salji di tepi2 jalan, dan di atas2 kereta...
Deer picture ni..saja snap..sbb bnyk2 sgt and deer -deer ni pandai interprem..nampak saya keluarkan camera..ramai2 berkumpul...disamping ladang sheep..ada juga ladang deer sepanjang perjalanan...


26 October 2008 : Dunedin

Below is the pictures when we arrived at Dunedin...Kami sampai di Dunedin pun dah petang..at about 4.00 pm...Kami terus ke rumah Abang Sabry.Tak sangka bukan sahaja Abang Sabry, Kak Anie's family, Malaysian kat situ pun ada....Lepas berehat sekejap, bersembang2 and makan2 we all gi jalan2 di Dunedin Town untuk bergambar...

Otago Museum ni berdekatan dengan Otago University


Ni Otago University..one of the University at New Zealand

Ni pulak, gambar Abang Sabry and family yang dimaksudkan..

Kami sempat juga menziarah Kak Anie and family..bukannya apa..menurut Kak Anie..jalan rumahnya antara yang famous..nak tahu kenapa..baca di bawah...one of the steeper street in the world...Nasib baik rumah Kak Ani tu sebelum bermulanya steeper street..so tak lah gerun sangat nak parking..he..he..


Keesokan paginya..lepas mkn masakan (Nasi Lemak) Kak Lily..wife of Bro Sabry, kami bertolak ke Cadbury World di Dunedin sebelum bertolak terus ke Christchurch....So next entry is Cadbury World...

25 October 2008 : Milford Sound

Untuk entry kali ni..saya tak akan tulis panjang...just take a look the beautiful of Milford Sound..Subhanallah...Gambar yang kat atas ni.. sebelum sampai ke Milford Sound..kami stop kat sungai ni sebab Najlaa muntah...so stop kejap..sebab jalan pusing2..and agak mencuram...
