Fluffy Buttermilk Pancake

Yesterday I was looking all over the net for fluffy looking pancake recipe. Since previously all my pancakes no matter how I done it always came out looking stiff. And truthfully I am not someone who can follow instruction straight on the dot. So this is kinda hard for me. My hand was itching to divert from the real cause. 

So I actually managed to prepare fluffy pancakes yesterday. Yeay!! Even my daughter eat 3pcs of it.

Let's look at the proven recipe of a fluffy pancakes.

I use

Cake flour - 1 1/4 cup
Soda bikarbonat - 1 teaspoon

Buttermilk - 1 1/4 cup ( milk + 1 tablespoon lemon juice and let it sit 10min before use)
Egg - 1 whole
Butter - melted into 1/4 cup
Sugar - 1/4 cup
A pinch of salt and vanilla essence 

For me I just mixed the wet ingredients first and then only put the dry one. After its already mixed you can see the mixture looks slightly thin not thick. At that point I was really itchy to add up a little bit of flour. But I managed to persevere and let the mixture sit for around 5 to 10 minutes. Then it became nicely thick and perfect. 

When you see it bubbling like that means that you have to flip your pancake already. 

 

Lunch Buffet at Kitchen Art Empire Subang

Every year our boss will treat us for lunch in honor for his birthday. For few years we have been having it at Cinnamon of One World Hotel. Since the buffet have been getting boring over there I suggested that we go and try new place instead. Since Subang consider quite near we choose Kitchen Art.

I pmed them on FB and asked what their buffet theme was and got a replied of International Buffet style. Sadly that's not the exact thing we got from them. The choices were poor and we manage to grab everything worth at one go. Their menu consist of local dishes and its also severely a limited choice.

I am totally bumped coz its my suggestion in a first place and we end up in this lurched. Cinnamon was way better than Kitchens Art hundred folds. Their menu that day consist of rice, fish, salads, chewy lamb, few dishes and mee station. Not even sate, sushi or other western dishes on sight.

So we totally won't go there anymore next time. I didn't expect it to be better than Cinnamon since the price range is different but not expect it to be that kind of worse either. There's nothing interesting at all and felt like being cheated since where in hell is this fit into international. Really not a worth buffet.

Bob Republic Menjalara

Last week we manage to sneak a bit of time trying this western style kitchen. Since its nearby our house and the review is quite good so we embark on this epic journey of uncertainty.. Hehe..drama much!

OK, so we actually have no idea where the location of this restaurant and use Waze instead. Kinda funny coz Menjalara is the  place where we often go for makan time. So get this for who live nearby but no idea where the heck of this place. Its in a housing area in front of the big mosque and beside the Sekolah Men Agama Kuala Lumpur. There's a guard post when you want to enter the housing area but they won't stop you from going in. I think people who knew this area would get the idea where is it already kan. Go inside after the guard post and take ur left and go straight until you see shop lot. Its actually a stall in front of a mamak shop call Spicy Kitchen. I think people got confuse why need to Waze Spicy Kitchen instead of this Bob..hehe

The price are quite cheap for western food. There's spaghetti for Rm6 and we tried their chicken wings with peri sauce for Rm5. There's 2 pcs cut into 2 wings which quite small and taste spicy. We also tried the rib coz they gave only one pc  along with a bit of nachos for Rm16 if I'm not wrong.. The taste was near to Tony Roma's but not quite there yet. But it won't make you full coz the portion was small. I also order their coney dog priced at Rm7. Overall the prices are affordable but some of it has small portion. Maybe its better to order its burger if you want something fulfilling.

Either way its a must try for people who looking for halal food near Kepong area.

Cell phone Novel

Hi guys..Recently I'm more into reading manga than books..lol.. Like kids I know..but I like to read and learn about lots of stuff that differentiate our culture and nation. Some may say reading fiction, novels, romance and manga useless since its not reality but for me we learn a lot about daily life of other people in different state of situation. When I read one of the manga, I learn about this craze they have in Japan call cell phone novel. I google (always do this for something interesting in my reading) it out thinking maybe its just a figment of the author but turns out its exist..

Its a platform for new author to get their creativity out there and some of it even got the opportunity to be published and made into anime, drama series or movies.

See, this is some example things you can learn and made aware of when you read. Even if it was from a manga..hehe/ teheee/lol( apparently other country who read my hehe don't understand what it stands for)..

So, check this website for some shot of cell phone novel.. Hehe.. 

Time for Change

There's a lot of things changing. My former post on foods and restaurant..so does my opinion. Lots of the restaurant change prices as well as the quality of food. So for me if you're looking at information regarding food and prices..please don't base it on past years experience..

It just ain't relevant anymore..the prices has gone up. Some of the restaurant also has close their shop. I remember just last month we went to eat at Luk Yu in Star Hill Gallery and i found it not worth the money paid. I rather have dim sum from elsewhere when i compare the price we have to pay.

Likewise eating at Sushi Mentai, Menjalara. Yeah it's still worth the save but after the gst implemented it seems that Japanese Buffet at Umai-Ya would be better.

I guess that's why i have not updated on my makan sutra in such a long time. Nowadays with 2 babies we just cooked it at house. Its rather cheaper and we both (especially me hubby) like cooking. So we tend to eat lamb, Salmon and spaghetti's at house. We made our own salad and mashed potato and its just so good and low blow to our pocket as well.

We just ate out for food like Japanese and Chinese dishes only..

New Year, New Beginning - My rambling

Wowza! I'm totally off the scene from blogging for a whole lotta year.. guess i'm in no mood while nesting my second child for the past 9 months before. Since then i've eat a lot and went around trying new restaurants.

Just the other week we went on makan time at Mid Valley Megamall. Trying mall's food while walking around the whole shopping mall. Considering my husband distaste of mall walking, he quite happy this time since we were on eating excursion. I post a lot to Instagram since its easier as my medium of kepochi while not bothering people/friends. Facebook are full of opinions to post out so many pictures of you having fun. Like it ever is their business. Just enjoy others experience and shut the hell up la if nothing good you want to say.

I can't say i'm mean jealous when i saw my friends posting all their lovelies pictures overseas, eateries or presents..i'm happy jealous and i'm excited to see all those pictures and memories they made..unless la they posted some obnoxious words along with the pictures..than i'm sure as hell wasn't jealous..just pity them wanting all the attention ;)

Gosh i got so many thing on my mind that i want to share, say and write.. it is after all my blog where i let loose of my wild ideas and it doesn't really matter to me who read this rubbish i posted out. It's just a satisfaction itself that i got to keep my mind alive online and have memories made here. So, i guess i'll make awesome memories of my mind in writing here...
