No more garden photos, only food!

After few days of just gardening updates, I pun dah tak larat tengok garden tu, hehehehe….

I might as well tayang gambar the foods lah pulak kan or else people might think this is a gardening blog pulakkan!

The girls and I went to a pool party at a friend’s house last Friday. Luckily the weather was excellent for them to jump into the pool and for the Mak Mak to borak2 and makan2.

It was as usual a potluck party with the hostess cooking a few things as well.

Some of the spread on that day. Ini pun ada a few people yang belum sampai lagi so memang lagi banyak kuih muih and lauk pauk terhidang once they got there. But masa tu I dah start makan so malas betul nak ambik gambar lagi, hehehe.

I buat pizza for the kids to eat and also serimuka as dessert.

Both very easy to make so tu yang I volunteered nak bawak these things Smile.

Obviously malam tu I tak masak, cuma makan toasts aje while The Other Half makan the stuff yang I tapau kan.

Semalam, The Other Half kata dia teringin sangat nak makan nasi lemak so I pun buatkan dia nasi lemak.

I buat ikan goreng as lauk but the ikan bawal was too big to put on the plate! Heeee…

The sayur terung and okra goreng ni came fresh from the garden. Goreng dgn bawang, bilis and kicap sungguhlah sedapnya Smile.

Then for dinner tadi, I made savoury mince with baked eggs.

I used the banana chillies, tomatoes, fresh oregano leaves, fresh basil leaves and fresh parsley from the garden.

I just diced the onion, garlic, tomatoes and banana chillies tu. Finely sliced the fresh herbs.

Sautee the onion and garlic in olive oil until wilted. Add a teaspoon each of cumin powder, coriander powder and paprika and cook for a few more minutes. Add the beef mince and cook until it has turned brown. Add the diced tomatoes, chicken stock powder, 2 tablespoons of tomato paste and let it simmer until all the tomatoes have become mushy and the liquid has reduced to half.

Put the mince mixture in an oven-proof glass dish and break as many eggs as you want on top of it. Bake it in 200°C oven until the egg white is cooked and the yolk is still runny.

Makan dengan home-made parmesan & garlic bread, bean salad and roast potatoes.

I guess when you dip a piece of bread in runny egg, everything else will taste nice too kan Smile.

And then for dessert, we had fresh fruits.

The gorgeous Summer fruits of peaches, plums, cherries, strawberries and figs.

We love figs but they are so difficult to get and so expensive as well. Yang jenis ni we found at the Sunday market tadi for $5/kg saje! So, beria lah we all makan sampai puas tadi, hehehe.

Ameeza,
Bila duduk negara 4 musim ni, masa Summer ni lah baru dpt rasa segala cmm jenis buah yg sedap2 :-). We all pun jarang makan figs ni, tu yg bila dpt jumpa, terus makan sampai kenyang, hehe

Adeeya,
I like food too :-), too much at times which is a problem, heeee

Nora,
I tak brapa minat strawberries ni. Yang minat strawberries kat rumah ni cuma my youngest aje. But I slalu beli utk buat strawberry sauce aje :-).

Jumurama,
Figs ni for me sedaplah. Dia manis and crunchy sikit kat tang biji dia tu but so soft, even kulit dia pun soft sgt2 :-).

Lydia,
you tau tak, I kan tak pernah makan kacang pool tu. One day balik Msia, mesti kena cuba makan lah sbb semua orang kata sedap :-).

Muzel,
Fresh fruits dlm gambar memang cantik kan esp kalau colourful :-)

Ummu Nuha,
Shaksuka tu sama mcm kacang phool ye?

de engineur,
I love a lot of food, that's why I love pot luck parties, hehehe.

Whitecappucino,

Shereen said...

Yum..I love figs..be it eaten fresh, in desserts and absolutely delicious in Ice cream.My neighbour's pokok tengah bergayut with the fruits..macam nak rebah the pokok..hahaha.But not all figs are delicious though.Some species not so nice and lembik.

Mama said...

lemongrass said...

Ayu,
kena guna api atas bawah sbb telur tu kita letak kat atas daging tu. Kalau guna api bawah aje, takut telur tu tak masak pulaknya :-).
Fig ni manis and soft. Tak tau nak ckp dia serupa mcm buah apa.

Kak Kasih,
we all pun suka dried fis tapi klu dpt jumpa yg fresh, lagi we all suka, hehehe.

AnimNaim,
pokok fig ni besar, kalau tanam, memang tak cukup tempat kat rumah ni, hehehe. Tapi memang sedap yg kering or yg fresh :-).

Kak Yan,
Summer ni yg bestnya cuma buah2an dia and tanaman2 yg tumbuh dgn galaknya, hehehe

Ibuhebat,
Yg kering memang senang nak dpt banding dgn yg fresh ni :-)

Blu4sky,
Jamie Oliver tu tiru we all sebenarnya, hahahaha... But memang seronok bila tgh masak suddenly berlari ke kebun nak ambik fresh herbs or veges :-).

Pendragon,
kat Dubai sure banyak fresh figs kan sbb Arabs suka fresh figs ni. For me, lagi sedap makan fresh dr yg dried :-)

Zuwaidah,
i tak boleh masuk Masterchef sbb gabra lebih2 depan camera, hahaha

Shereen,
How I wish I have a neighbour with a fig tree! Boleh I buat muka tak malu panjat their tree and duduk atas tu until sakit perut makan figs, hehehe.

Mama,
Hi. Garlic bread tu I guna pizza dough but instead of leper, I just bulatkan dia aje. Pastu I sapu olive oil on the surface, tabur garlic granules, dried oregano and grated parmesan. Then bakar sampai naik and brown :-)
