Home Grown Beansprout

Nyum..nyum..nyum..hehe! This was 'bubur kacang hijau' i cooked last weekend. I'm the only one who finshed all of it. Hubby and son not keen to eat..hubby because he memang tidak suka makan, my son because dia tidak biasa makan..Nasib saya masak cukup-cukup untuk saya ja.:)

Since pregnant, i prefer to eat at home rather than outside. If possible, i wanna grow my own vegetable also. Tapi mana ada masa dan yang paling penting, teda tempat saya mau tanam..ni la kalau tinggal kuarters. Mau beli pasu pun malas pula cari tanah lagi..Last-last, paling mudah saya tanam taugeh ja..hihi..nda susah ba..yang penting ada kacang hijau..
letakkan secara rata di bekas yang rata juga..rendam air hingga seluruh permukaan kacang hijau tertutup oleh tu air.

Ni gambar, sehari selepas direndam dalam air..the sprout is coming out already kan..:)
Kalau kering air, tambah sikit2 untuk kekalkan kelembapan tu kacang..

This one is after four days..ready to harvest. I like the colour, different from the beansprout sold at market..ready to cook also, but don't forget to separate its root ya..

Hubby rajin tolong buka tu akar..mau masak kan, kalau saya sorang buka, 1 jam belum habis tu.

Ready to cook..

The final product..sorry, forgotten to take picture while it was fresh from kitchen. Sudah hampir mau habis baru ingat mau ambil gambar. (Menu = beansprout + tauhu).

Sedap dan segar rasa tu taugeh..:)

Praises!

Some friends has been asking why i wanna smile the whole day today..huahua..
Well, have any one of you outhere praised because of how you look in a particular day?..Huahuahua..again.:)
In my first pregnancy, i never wore maternity dress/gown because i need to ride bus to work. So, i usually wore maternity pants and blouse, and i comfortable with that attire. Never crossed in mind to buy one and wear it..

But, yesterday while doing a little shopping as a preparation to welcome my baby in early October, i saw a maternity gown/dress hung above the babies clothes section..then my heart say

'how do i look in that maternity gown?' ..kept staring at the gowns..hubby then approached me and asked 'why? wanna buy one? maybe you look different when wearing it. Pick one then.' He smile.

Then, i ended buying two gowns, same design;one in pink colour and one in peach colour.(In my heart say; lets see how friends are going to say tomorrow).

Today's morning;

After sending my son to his care centre, heading towards our car where hubby is waiting to send me to office. Getting into the car and sat next to him, this is his word 'mummy looks pretty in that gown.' I looked at him say 'really? thank you. Maybe because you never see me wearing a maternity dress while expecting YongYong (my son)'. Gave him a smile too.

Arrived at office:

Colleague 1 : Morning Eve (my nickname among office mates), you look beautiful in that gown.

Me: Morning too. Really? Well, i feel a bit awkward actually. This is my first time wearing a maternity gown.

Colleague 2: Eh Eve, this is my first time seeing you wearing a maternity gown. Look different but, you look cute!

Me: Thank you dear..duh, your praises makes me feel wanna fly oo! haha!

Colleague 3: Eve, aiyoo..you look so sweet in that gown..feel wanna hug you la.

Me: You are the fourth person praise me today..thank you and come la hug me..haha! (this person is a 'she' ok, not 'he')

Well, thinking back of all friends respons, i now sure that 'i wasn't look that much weird wearing a maternity gown. (' i look weird wearing that gown' kind of thinking all this while just beacuse i never wore even once before).

Yours truly with mute and deaf students during class today for food and beverage service course.

:)...me, 7 months pregnant.

Doctor set me for next check up next two weeks..huhu..have to work hard to level up my hb..some food contain high iron now in mind- must fill my fridge with them before the next check up..mau makan hari2..:)

Eat all you want all you can

Today's post is a sharing about one place you must go if you visit Genting Highland. In more specific, if you go to SkyWay Station. Of course you'll go to this station if you take the cable car to go up Genting Highland.

Its a tid-bits and candies shop. Here is the shop's name. Somewhere around third or fourth floor..Mesti jumpa punya kalau kamu jalan2 di station tu.

Can you see the people all heading to that shop? Nah, i tell you first what is most appealling about this shop: You can eat all you want and all you can before you make final decision which one to buy- FOR FREE..saya apa lagi, semua saya pigi makan. Ibu mengandung la katakan. Makanan ringan yang dijual dalam kedai tu semua menepati citarasa tekak saya..wuahaha! Paling best, bila habis ja tu tester dalam kontena, the staff will keep re-filling tu kontena. Sampai saya dan kawan2 kenyang o, baru kami beli apa yang kami mau. A must re-visit place if i go there again. :)


Part of the tid-bits sold..there got dried cuttlefish, fish, peanut, etc. Saya paling suka tu sotong kering dengan cili..sedap yummy yummy..balik2 sa pigi sebelah sana. The ladies in red are the staff there, re-filling the tester container everytime it finish. And good thing, they wouldn't stare or get mad at you just because you berabis makan tu tester.

More tid-bits..feel like wanna go there right now and have some of them..(drooling sdh sy oo..haha!)

I didn't go up to Genting Highland and not excited to ride the cable car also because i already been there once in 2008. But somehow, i took photo of it la..
A piece of memory..back in 2008 while attending a seminar at Genting International Convention Centre (GICC), photo taken by Ms. NancyPeter of Life's A Beach Sometimes, at the SkyWay Genting Car Park with the superfriendly monkeys.
Tried to search our picture inside the cable car but couldn't find the folder in my laptop.

That's all for now. :)
