Aidilfitri: Recap for 3rd

Continue from the previous entry....:) i was too busy preparing for my open house and neglect this hobby of mine...blogging:)...sorry..tried to catch up as fast as i can...

3rd day
we ventured to Penang to visit mom's brother(my uncle lah....).. we hardly meet him...once a year or we just happen to be there.... it was like a normal visit on hari raya...so it was a convoy of 4 cars (me, ayah, my two uncles with family)..

we used the bridge not the ferry...my father said the ferry was too slow :) my father's car was right in front of us...

snacking on cookies before lunch!!! family meeting :)



 Before going back,we decided to taste the local food... u know, people said penang is food heaven... so we went to the famous padang kota..
posing again and again.....

me and brother lining up just to get punked!!! get it?? everything was too pricey...beyond imaginary..and they didn't follow the price list on the wall......huhuh

so we had a taste on pasembor n char kuey teow....a must if u are in penang....



my little girl managed to persuade loving opah to get her a toy bicycle and i bought her this on our way back to car...


i talked to the locals on how expensive the food in padang kota can be ...they said the locals didn't go there actually...it was the outsiders...huhuh..so no more padang kota eatery on my next visit in penang..Insyaallah...we did stop by at Batu Feringghi..just to grab some souvenirs but unfortunately only a few stalls opened...so, we just grab a few things and me..did not snap any pics there!! after an afternoon in penang, we headed back to tok chik's house in taiping....

stay tune for aidilfitri the 4th..huhu...!!!

Aidilfitri 2012- A recap of day 1 n 2

i was too lazy to write all the details happened during this aidilfitri...maybe not many interested in reading it..huhuh...i thought a recap of 2,3 days would be ok....
1st day of aidilfitri
i celebrated it at my hubby's side...in the afternoon, we went to jementah to visit relatives from my father's side...next stop was bukit sentosa,rawang..before we went straight to kg selinsing, taiping perak.... the first day was like raya-on-the move, sort of.....heheh
go orange!!!

2nd day
we did nothing special.... we stayed home @Tok Chik's house and went for some shopping @Taiping sentral and Tesco.... i was so surprised to see many malays went there on the 2nd day of eidulfitri...i was there too!!! then we hang out @Oldtown Kopitiam before going back to Tok cik's place...

More stories of aidilfitri coming right up!!!

Iftar on Ramadhan Day #24

Towards the end of Ramadhan, i did less cooking.... whenever i felt tired, i would asked hubby to go to bazaar ramadhan...just to grab something to eat for iftar...i would certainly cook for sahur...just a simple dish like ikan masak kicap will do....

Ramadhan Day #24..my hubby's colleagues organized an iftar at Nasi Kukus Warisan Bonda,Segamat..... It was your average eatery...but the dishes are simply delicious especially the tomyam.... this was my third time here and not once visit there, i didn't order tomyam..:)

simply delicious!!!!







again, selamat hari raya aidilfitri......
