Best Taufu Fa in town

Yesterday, happened to be in Jalan Pasar and at the traffic light, my eyes were caught at a stall selling soya drink. No one passed by the stall without stopping by to buy something... there must be something special with this stall I thought.....

True enough.... I had this bowl of Taufu Fa.... the texture is so smooth and I was quite shock with the price...

it only cost

RM0.80

.

.

.

If it's just nearby....I surely go here everyday.....

.

.

.

.

and my latest craving was this....

Snowflakes...

This is cold Taufu fa... with sweet potato,barley, cincau and lotus seed....

.

.

.

and this is Tohua series

Soya Ice with cincau, lotus seed, green bean and pearl.....

also taste yummy

They have more combination to offer...... always felt not enough and that's main reason what I kept going to this Snowflakes.... price for each bowl... RM6.50

My latest herbs collection

I am always a fan of herbs... and I like to invest in herbs.. wah.. buying herbs can be considered investment? really... a good herbs makes a good dish.... so, everytime I went for my monthly grocery, I'll choose a new bottle of herbs to add on to my collection.... my favourite brand is Mc Cormick , because most of what they have on shelves are natural herbs... I even bought their white pepper which cost me RM9.++... I know that I can get from other local brand for 1/5 of the price... but most of them either add to much "artificial food flavour, or they over or under grind the herbs".....that's just an example...

Obviously, herbs add flavours, aroma and taste to your dish... the most basic one is of course your salt and pepper... I know... salt is not a herbs... but come hand in hand with pepper....actually, you need small portion of each for cooking.... but the problem with herbs... you can't buy it in small portion.... and if you don't buy them in bottled, then you end up buying everytime you want to use it.... it will be a waste.... so it's good to have every little portion of each type... so you can use it everytime you need it...

so tell me, how many herbs do you have in your kitchen? I have these and I'm using it... not just for display okay...

Coarse Black Pepper

Peppercorn

Ground Black Pepper

White Pepper

Coriander Seed

Nutmeg Ground

Star Anise (Bunga lawang)

Cardamom (Buah Pelaga)

Cinnamon

Cloves (Bunga Cengkih)

Fenugreek Seed (Halba)

Cumin Seed (Jintan Putih)

Black Seed

Paprika

Chilli Flakes

Dried parsley

Dried bay leave

Tumeric

Assorted Curry Powder

Rosemary

That's are among the individual stand alone herbs....

I have also a mixed of herbs for easy cooking

Sup bunjut (must have)

Mixed Herbs for BBQ marinate

Italian mixed herbs

and to add to my latest collection

.

.

.

.

.

I have just bought this

Herbs for Pizza and Pasta

and comes with

Grinder

So you can twist them to get the herbs sprinkled into your cooking pan....

and just gives a great feeling...

which are hard to say one...

satisfaction

.

.

.

and because I'm too tempted to try this herb

exactly like the pictute on the label of the bottle....

.

.

.

so I made this

justified my purchase right?

That's about herbs.... I'll share with you on my sauce collection next time....

Mama and 5 Ds at Limastiga

Hi all...many things happened for the past few weeks.... for what we have been through to be kept folded in our family confidential diary.... that become history by now.... what's more important is readiness for tomorrow an the following days.... but in between, me and my kids had this sneak out at this superb place called Limastiga, Umbai Malacca.

So sad that enche hubby couldn't join us here.... he has something more important to look after.... as this was planned few months back.... we decided to proceed without him..... anyway, the kids deserve this ..... I see them less than 2 hours a day for the past 2 weeks looking after my father in law who was hospitalised for major surgical procedure....and because of them.... I'm determined to drive for two hours to get to Umbai...... I tell you .. when Baba is not around they were all behaved and cooperative and became a supportive companion to Mama....thank you lovelys...

So here we are.... a nice wooden villa with Balinese concept welcoming us.... a real privacy place just make it so perfect for a weekend escape... so let the piccas tell you more on us being indulged with the peaceful scene. 

Tempat ni memang sangat-sangat sesuai untuk aktiviti bersantai bersama keluarga..... nothing less from what we normally felt in Bali... they made this happen... Bali in the heart of Malacca.

and the pool...... so convinient that you can just jump in and out as you wish.......

more Bali.... with aroma of frangipani... i just love this plant......

Lunch at Bubba Gump with fwends

It takes so much of our efforts to meet up with these gals. First the planning, then the venue, then the availability,  then the date, then the logistic, then the sponsor, then the team......one can... 2 cannot... the  other can.. then the rest cannot....sigghhhhh

If we were to think further, then I don't think we can ever meet up.... so vis a vis... we fixed a date.. in less than a week... so here we are.... almost all the courum are there.... except for this Niz who has a not so important meeting to attend... no doubt that her presence is important though for whatever reason.. which only me and few others knew it..... hahahhahhhaaa

We don't have to worry so much on the venue... our friend Linda has done her part... fixed a place... and ordered on behalf of us also... trust me.. her taste suits us all... no worries... if I were to list this task as her KPI.. sure she'll go above average.... well done... good job my friend.....

all we need is just more time to chat and chat and chat...... and finish off whatever appear on the plates..... we don't need one dish for each of us... few will do ... and normally we'll share.....

The food are good. Fisrt time been here... normally justy pass by and yeah... their food is not bad... in fact not bad at all.... don't ask me what it is....really I can't  say it... coz this happen 2 weeks ago..... and my mind is not focusing on the food.....

.

.

.

so a snapshot for the girls.....

.

.

.

.

oppps forget totally about the desserts....

melting to to your throat....

really... this is good...

but I think the jar was a bit too narrow to scoop out that thing......

the deeper you go... the nicer the taste.....

.

.

.

.

and here are the faces yang dah kekenyangan.....

.

.

.

.

Coupun deals......

Hi ladies...... 

I once shared about what's inside my bag......and one of the very important thing could be in there would be my wallet..... and what could be in my wallet?

I have a thick long wallet..... I knew it's a norm for a mum to have that... and even if I didn't say it you would have already knew it... what contributed to the thickness of my wallet......

I have plenty of plastics cards where my name is printed on like bank cards, loyalty cards, insurance cards, identication card, driving license and many more.....

I think I have more than 5 loyalty cards in my wallet.... let me try to list them down.

1. J Card from JUSCO

2. Bonuslink

3. TESCO Clubcard

4. SOGO S Card

5. Metrojaya Card

6. Aussino Card

7. ISETAN I Card

That's all I can think of right now....  but I knew I can easily add the figures but let's leave it as above..... and because of those cards I held..... they normally provide me with all sorts of offer or coupun vouchers for my redemption....

and these vouchers is another factor that congested my wallet.... let's see some of them.......

The first one and my all time favourite is the Starbuck Stamp Card..... I knew the reward is not much... but very easy to achieve indeed... all you need to do is you just to get any of your favourite beverage and collect 1 stamps for every 1 beverage..... my thinking is that for this kind of stuff... it needs no extra effort to get something... and something is better than nothing....

oh yeah.... I flash my J Card so that I get discounts too... interesting right?

.

.

.

.

and sometime I got this when participating in an event .... so just keep it... and we might never know when we'll need them....

.

.

.

.

.

and here are more of the stamps kind of cards where you get to redeem you gift after you've completed them....

.

.

.

.

and more deal vouchers.... the deal is so good and you may regret if you have to pay at the normal price...

.

.

.

.

and more vouchers

.

.

.

and this is something that I got very serious focused on...... TESCO rebate vouchers.... and because we did our monthly grocery shopping here... so every cents and ringgit given is really a saver to us.....

You'll get points accumulated for every ringgit you spend and every quarter I will receive a statement and cash vouchers......

.

.

.

.

.

and unexpectedly

and

once in a blue moon

I got these good vouchers from my friend

Thanks Faz... for these vouchers..

It's a vouchers

from

Renaissance Hotel

so been there for High Tea and Lunch...

gave two to my colleagues

 extend the happiness to them...

so they went there for

brekkie and dinner

.

.

 .

.

.

.

.

.

first went there during lunch... with my friend..... it was at TEMPtationS..... food was great...it's just that we don't have enough time to taste all the dish.... eat in a rush... but still enjoy the lunch....

.

.

.

.

then on the next day... I'm here again for high tea but this time with enche hubby.....

.

.

.

and

at

.

.

some foods that we had

.

.

.

soupy kind of dish

.

.

.

and of course

a lamb

.

and this is special

I had this twice in both my visits

very creamy ice cream

with more than 12 toppings to be chose

I was so curious to know what ice cream do they choose....

and only get to know it on my 2nd visit

they actually use

Haagen Daz

no wonder it taste so damn good

Moral of the stories.....

I just love vouchers....

they really made my day

and

you may never know when you really need them

I have more vouchers apart from the above

and

I felt I am

a wise buyer.... he he
