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. ZAssssss So hari tu ada sorang minah ni baru 1st time iols nampak kat gym, tengah workout dengan bopren dia la gitu. Pakai sports bra je dengan really short shorts yang menampakkan ...

CPPS Shemale?

Shemale ke?? Nothing related. Just that I like this pic and how I picture myself when looking at my phone. Walaupun CPPS jarang ngepost cerita pasal Tinder, tak semestinya CPPS tak main Tinder lagi. Sesekali bila bosan, iols swipe-swipe la jugak kiri kanan kan. Saje bagi jari-jemari lemah gemalai ni bersenam sikit. Kekadang tu saje la kan nak networking. Tapi setakat tu je la kan. Sebab up to a certain point, Tinder ni bosan jugak. You have to put up with a lot of small talks, shallow conversations and jerks who think with their dicks. So biasanya bila uols sama-sama swipe right tu, maka uols dah connected and boleh lah mula mengejas. Biasanya si jantan akan text "Hey" Lepas tu uols pun reply "Hey. How are you?" Lepas tu krik-krik 2-3 bulan. Ataupun "Hey" "Hey. How are you?" "Good good. And you" "Great. What do you do for a living" dah macam interview keje kan. Ada satu soalan ni ULTIMATE TIN...

The Perfect Staycation For An Introvert: The Saujana Hotel Kuala Lumpur, A Lush Sanctuary In The City

The Perfect Staycation For An Introvert: The Saujana Hotel Kuala Lumpur, A Lush Sanctuary In The City  I absolutely love staycations and almost always prefer places that are quiet, intimate with lots of greens.  Like a resort in the middle of the city. But to find one with an affordable rate in Kuala Lumpur city is quite a challenge. I happened to have a work-related thing in The Saujana Hotel and fell in love. Told myself that I will come back to spend a night (or two) here. The Saujana Hotel Kuala Lumpur Nestled in 160 hectares of lush gardens is a luxury resort-style hotel, located in the suburbs and next to a golf course somewhere in Subang/Shah Alam. It's the perfect place for a rejuvenating weekend when you want to be away from the hustle-bustle of the city but still located in the city. J ust minutes away from Subang Airport. I love that it's near to   Citta Mall , Subang Parade and Empire Subang Shopping Gallery .  So you know, I got a lot of F&B options...

Footprints In The Sand

This is my favourite story of Jesus One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord.  Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.  In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.  Sometimes there were two sets of footprints.  Other times there were one set of footprints.  This bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life  When I was suffering from anguish, sorrow, or defeat,  I could see only one set of footprints.  So I said to the Lord, "You promised me, Lord,  That if I followed you, you would walk with me always.  But I noticed that during the most trying periods of my life  There have only been one set of prints in the sand.  Why, When I have needed you most, you have not been there for me?" The Lord replied,  "The times when you have seen only one set of footprints  Is when I carried you." When times are tough, when you feel so lonely and ho...
