Anggrek kuring:First restaurant's review...

If you have been to Indonesia,you'll know that their food are great!We Malaysian of course have an amazing lines of food..But as a foodies myself Indonesian food are way simpler and special in its own ways.Me and my husband is a foodies, one thing for sure was our highlights every month is to try out different restaurants and stalls that we heard about.
So as for this new year introduction of my foodies alert segment,I introduce you to Anggrek Kuring-Sundar and Bandung authentic food.What must you eat?A lot!For a starter let's have a risole:it looks like a typical fried dumpling(popiah) but its not..It has chicken and vegetables inside with a juicy sauce which I'm not sure made of what..Then if you're familiar with Ayam Penyet,here a must is Ayam Presto.It's a chicken that have been cooked in pressure-cooker then fried with perfection.You can eat the chicken to the bone!(drools~~)Satay cumi-Squid Skewer was also the amongst the highlights besides sambal udang petai and tauhu taucu..YUMMEH!!!
The ambiance is very nice..you can sit down in a private curtained area or you can just sit at the normal table.The pricing was okay too...They have a set for 2,4,6,10 people which consist of 6 different dishes that you can choose (if you a first timer definetely recommended).Another must, grilled banana with chocolate and cheese!(~~die!)Check out the website for more details!I give it 5/5 stars!

Welcoming 2010...

Salam..been staring these pages for few weeks,I suffered from writer's block.huhu...By the way,last 27th Dec my marriage turned 2 years.We had our little vacation at Colmare Tropical,Bukit Tinggi.(so-called-French-countryside-NOT!)That will be featured on another entry which will include lots of pictures and complaints.
Nevertheless,we hit our end of this year with a bit of sour note.Hubby got some setbacks at work which worried him,which make me worried too seeing him worried..haih..Allah never test something that you couldn't handle right?Therefore I'm all ears for my dear hubby.Not letting him felt worried or agitated at home is my only mission for now.Men, in this case my men,will tend to cave their emotion when shits happened like this happened.Their not like women-me in my case,who express their emotion with crying and talking about it to almost every friend they could find.Therefore,I rather just be there for him whenever he needs me..I love you Booboo..:)
As for new year celebration there's nothing to celebrate really cause our new year(Muslim) was last Muharram.Okayla so we had dinner with few friends last night..That's soo not celebrating new year..We were soo full,(Alahamdulillah..)that by the time we reached home,all three of us felt asleep despite the fact that there's like a 20 loud sounds of fireworks around our place.This restaurant that we we went was amazing!The food,the ambiance,the price..Will be featured in the next entry!promise!
Owh..these year will also starts with me taking care of our lil Adreanna...aaaw..baby smell...ummi loike!Praying that she's adjust to me and Ai'syah adjust to her very well..amin...then we can start making baby for ourselves..hohoho!

eat,pray,***K? my 1st movie review..:)


taken from IMDb
Since I have Ai'syah,I have no longer step into cinema though my heart wanted to do so,I couldn't convinced my hubby to do so,and we ended buying dvd's instead.Recently,the much acclaimed book Eat,Pray,Love was such a big hit I found myself drown into it..And to my surprise,the book was not really for me..I like the story of her travelling,but then again,she was trying to find herself cause she lost herself in her marriage.Hmmm..such a typical "mat saleh" story..Why must you lost your sense of self when you get married?If you watch Oprah,that's all most of the wives and mothers suffered from..(Pelikkan?mama ok je,kakak ok je)I meant we all have ups and down in being a wife,mother,but we don't really end up being depressed right?
And then,when everything falls apart ONLY you want to find GOD??True..most of us are like that..Moi sometimes also falls into that category..(manusia mudah lupe)anyway,back to the movie,as much as I love Glee..the same director of this movie,I don't think he does any justice to the book..The book is soo much more that what the movie is about,like my kakak said,Eat,Pray,***K..Cause at the end of the journey,where they should be showing more on the her Bali adventure rather than her being in love.
As a whole,the movie was a-okay...The stunning cast was the best:Julia Robert(OMG!you can see her wrinkles clearly in this movie-bravo Julia!),Javier Bardem(demm),and not forgetting,my beloved James Franco...too much hotness,in one movie..distract the story...LOL..3/5 stars!

Here's to friendship!

salam..First and foremost,I'm soo grateful to Allah for giving us a group of friends that we considered as family..Living 2-5 hours away from our family,our friends are the closest to us other than siblings and relatives that may stay a few minutes away from where we lived.
Ai'syah simple birthday dinner was a success,though my sister and her family can't make it cause it was on weekdays..I believed Ai'syah was a very happy girl that day..She was smiling,dancing,and being playful to everybody that night(indicated how happy she was).Not to mention how happy she was to see Dibo on her cake!And how she devoured the cake like its nobody business,special thanks to her thoughtful Baba.:)
Though my husband didn't like the idea of celebrating Ai'syah's birthday,I managed to make him be part of it,plus he can't really see NO to Ai'syah...She's like his kryptonite..LOL..Just a simple dinner with bunch of closed friends,hanging out,cutting cake and that's it..Ai'syah had a great time,Ummi and Baba too had a great time..
Special thanks to my dearest Syamimi Turiman,who came all the way just to help me with the decoration,you're an angel!And to my favourite cake boss ;I think I'll be your loyal customer...All of us love the cake!

the right time to perform Hajj?

When you're still young..When you're still healthy...When you have the money...If I'm not mistaken what our Ustaz told us on our Umrah's prep class..Ustaz said,make do'a if you don't have the money yet...InshaAllah,He will answered your prayers... Never underestimate the power of a good intention..subhanAllah..
If you've been to Makkah...you'll see it by yourselves that whatever you wished,you get it..You said its hot,you will feel hot...If you said,its not that hot,then,its really not that hot..You're in the Holy ground,and patience is the only way to go...And it pays...At the end of the day,the patience that you've been practicing will sticks with you..inshaAllah..
I know you think I'm rambling....the fact that I wanna don't wanna wait till I'm old to perform Hajj kind of the starts of these topic..Everytime the Hajj season came,I wanted to cry...Dear Allah...please...I wanna go there before I'm old,that is IF I lived that long to grow old...subhanAllah...
