My Favourite Time Is Fika Time

Off all the meal times, my favourite is always and will always be tea time. I even blogged about it 5 years ago HERE.

Damn I was thin back then. Sighh. Those were the days that I have so much time on my hand with so little commitment hence the coffee time hunt.

 It is my favourite meal time whenever I'm back in hometown too. 

 Bila rajin, sis buatlah kuih muih yang simple-simple. Cucur sayur ke cucur ikan bilis ke. Bila syaiton rajin merasuk, maka kadang-kadang tu terjadilah karipap atau popia.
Ni weols tea time kat luar. Extra betul. Dengan buahnya, char kueh tiaw, roti kawin. On top left is kong pia, Sarawakian pastry, often filled with savoury meat filling.

And that chubby hand is so delectable I wanna bite it.

Kena pulak Teh O panas, lagi seronok kalau kebetulan pulak petang tu hujan. Yang best pasal tea time kat kampung halaman ni sebab boleh minum petang sambil bergosip dengan mak, makcik, adik beradik atau sepupu sis.

 Kadang tea time sampai sejam dan tak sedar dah kena masak untuk makan malam pulak.

So apparently, the Swedish also have this tea time culture and it's called Fika.

 Fika is often translated as "a coffee and cake break" but it's much more than that.

 It's all about slowing down and finding time for family, friends or colleagues, whilst you sip a drink and enjoy something small to eat.

 The word fika actually derives from the 19th-century slang word for coffee: kaffi. Invert the word kaffi, and you get fika!

 How cute.

 On most Sunday's evening, if I'm at home and I'm extra ambitious, I'll always have this tea time project of making cakes/ pastries/ kuih muih for tea time. Walaupun sis saturang saja yang makan.

Kuih penjaram/ penyaram/ cucur jawa. I was so happy that I finally mastered making this kuih. It's my favourite.
Another favourite experiment. Sometimes i crave for this apam balik at odd hours and since this delicacy can only be found at pasar malam, sis terpaksa telan keinginan nak makan kuih ni. Tapi ni dah pandai buat sendiri, wohoooooo!
Cucur/ jemput-jemput sayur, my all time go to teatime munchies. I always add in onions, corn kernels and whatever vege I have in the fridge (cabbage or carrot). Nak senang, sis pakai je tepung cucur adabi tu. Campak-campak siap.
Kuih keria gula melaka. Selalunya orang rebus ubi keledek tapi sis suka steam jadi ubi tu kurang berair. So bila uli nanti, uols tak payah letak tepung banyak sangat and kuih pun tak keras.
Kek pisang gunung berapi meletus
Ni bila terlebih rajin, maka jadilah kek lapis.
I loveeeee fikaa!

 What is your favourite tea time snacks?

Porn Puaka Di Gym

Tajuk mengundang kontroversi Sis ni bukan apa rajin pergi gym, selain nak bersenam, iols juga suka mencuci mata. Bukan setakat mencuci mata dengan jantan helok (I'm still hoping sebab gym iols pegi tu SENDUU), sis juga suka melihat gegadis yang fefeeling gedik dengan bermacam fesyen di gym tu. Biasanya gegadis newbie ni macam cendawan. Muncul sekejap di kala azam baru masih utuh yakni di awal tahun atau selepas perayaan di mana memasing nak kurus.  Tunggulah 2 bulan kemudian langsung tak nampak batang hidung ataupun buttcheeks. Eh? Sebenarnya salah satu benda Cik Panda nak cerita pasal butt cheeks. Butt cheeks are absolutely NO NO except at the pool or beach when you are in your swimsuit.  Cik Panda tak jealous la uols sebab Cik Panda tak hingin pun nak ada bontot yang jelly welly tu.

Manusia Dua Alam

  Pernah jumpa tak manusia yang indah khabar dari rupa? Ataupun manusia yang dalam sosial media adalah seseorang yang sangat menarik hidupnya, melancong sana sini, kelihatan peramah dengan cerita-cerita pasal orang sekeliling dia tapi dalam kehidupan sebenar, agak sendu dan krik krik? Pernah kan? Inilah manusia dua alam dimana alam maya dan alam realiti dia berbeza umpama langit dan bumi. Ada seorang manusia ni, kita namakan dia XX (bukan nama sebenar). XX ni sering update cerita panjang lebar dalam sosial media dia. Satu gambar dia upload selalu disertakan dengan karangan 2 mukasurat.  Ada sekali dia upload gambar makanan yang diberikan rakan sekerja dia. Mulalah karangan 2 muka surat dia menceritakan mak si anu masak makanan lebih sikit untuk dia, si polan pun bagi makanan. Betapa murahnya rezeki dia dan bertuah dikelilingi kawan-kawan yang baik dan thoughtful. Wahhh kemain. Tapi dalam alam realiti, dia manusia berperangai pelik dan tidak boleh difahami. K...

Inferno Panic

Last night, Joel, Anne and i was chatting in the house when we smell something burning. We looked everywhere for the source of the smell until i saw smoke coming out of the main switchboard.  First it was only smoke, then little flame. Before long, the fire got bigger! Smoke fill the house and it smell of burning plastic and rubber. We panic and run out of the house. Knocked on neighbour's door to ask if they have fire extinguisher while Anne and I trying to think who to call for help. We wanted to call bomba but didn't know the number! In that moment of panic, we forgot that it's 999. So we call friends asking for bomba's number. Anne called her friend and the first thing her friend said "Anne! Save your laptop and your thesis!"  Only post-grad students understand this. Thesis and our research is more valuable than your IC or money or thousand dollar phone because only we know how difficult, how important our thesis is. Its a lifetime effort and hard...

Amazing Swimming Pools

I am a Pisces and "pisces" in Latin means fish. Pisces love to swim. So that explains my strong affinity for water. Just like a fish, i find water to be calming and soothing. Recently i've began to swim regularly after so long. Not only it is a good exercise, it releases stress and is extremely calming. I've read somewhere that water is a good medium to buffer and absorb all your negative energy and emotions. Two in one eh? I've developed obsession over swimming pools recently. Why i always seems to have obsession lately is beyond me. The nicest pool i've been to so far was this pool with an amazing view of Petronas Twin Tower. Perfect for a night swim as it was quiet and the pool is heated. Macam infinity pool tapi tidak juga.   Infinity pools are the nicest! Jom cuci mata sambil berangan ada pool macam ni... Ooh that's super nice. Perfect for a night swim. This is a pool in Bali. So calming. Next trip perhaps? ...
