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?

Bikinication: Project Phuket Part 1

Partner in crime and i finally went for our bikinication get-away and we went to Phuket for 4 days! She managed to find really cheap MAS flight tickets (rm232 return tickets to Phuket). Definitely cheaper than going back to Kuching. The flight to Phuket from KLIA took us about 1 hour plus. Our refreshment comes in cute blue box The taxi from airport to where we stayed cost us 740 baht (about rm74) per car and our hotel is just AMAZING. Alfresco Phuket Hotel has wonderful service, super friendly staff, clean room, free wifi, complimentary drinking water replenished everyday and the most awesome thing is they have a rooftop infinity pool. Well, you know my obsession with swimming pools. They also provided free shuttle service to town and beach and just next to the hotel is a 24 hour mart.
