INDONESIAN CUISINE : Ayam Penyet

I got the privilege to try out this new restaurant in Seri Iskander (near Ipoh, Malaysia) known as "Ayam Penyet". In Bahasa Melayu ( Malaysian Language) as well as Indonesian language Ayam means Chicken, I'm not quite sure what Penyet means.

Anyway i went to this restaurant with a group of friends and we tried Ayam Penyet, a well known Indonesian dish. The specialty of this dish is that the chicken is coated with a crispy coating first and then it is deep fried. It is served with a red sauce (spicy) known as ' Sambar' and some friend Tofu. To beautify it, they add sprinkles of golden brown fried onion on top of the chicken. You can eat it as it is or with plain boiled rice. If you like to excite your taste buds with new dishes, this one is definitely good for you. 

It looks a little something like this :D

Ritter Sport - Who doesn't love chocolate?

Who doesn't love chocolate? Well if you are someone who doesn't, there is certainly something wrong with you! (Jk.....NOT) :P
I've been wanting to write about this chocolate on my blog for a long time, well today i am!
So the first time  i tried RITTER SPORT, was because of my very dear friend, (who keeps on bringing the coolest gifts ever whenever she drops by). The first flavor i tried was 'Corn Flakes', yes the yellow one! and i found it totally OmnomnomIOUS.... The chocolate just melts in your mouth like a thick chocolate cream. All i can say about this chocolate is that i am totally in love with it. And if you are a chocolate lover, you should definitely give it a try.

The brand of chocolate is German, and everyone knows Swiss and German chocolates are the best xD So why not give it a try. It comes in different flavors, you can either get one whole big squared pack or mini small packs or whatever you want :D

International Iftar at UTP

Today was the 'International Iftaar Day' at UTP (universiti teknologi petronas). Its my third ramadan here but a very first time to attend such an event. Turned out pretty amazing and the food was so delicious. There were over 8 countries presenting their yummilicious food.including Egypt Iran Turmenistan Pakistan,Yemen,South Aftrica,Vietnam etc.
The interesting part was that this was all organized by the students and they all did it really well !! The event was not only about food but also the culture and environment, there was a quiz regarding Islamic history and prizes were given to the  the ones who gave correct answers. Overall it was a good experience to break fast with a lot of people; not only muslims but also non-muslims which was uniquely awesome in its own way

I captured a few dishes, couldn't capture them all cause it soon got all rushy as Athan was anounced!

Enjoy the pictures and  Ramadan kareem=)

Can't live without Coffee?

Whose up for a cup of Coffeee?????? :D 

 

I don't have enough words to tell how much i love COFFEE! Normally at home i love to do my coffee the traditional way; by beating it with sugar and water until its color turns light brown (and roasting the mixture ) before pouring milk in, but i do not likely have the time to do it that way while during the semester =(

So i just use the boring INSTANT coffee mix!! Thumbs up to the Slave of Addiction?Hit the like button ;)

Anyway a couple of months back i got introduced to this instant coffee mix. This is so good, and by good i mean its so foamy. I can tell you would be surprised when you pour in the hot water!
Whats special about this brand is that unlike other instant coffee mixes it feels more real and is thicker...like a real cappuccino. So those who love coffee with milk would totally dig it !



A NOTE TO ALL THE COFFEE LOVERS OUT THERE : Drink it sip it lick it but remember "Excess of everthing is bad" So keep it moderate. Coffee is good (specially if its a decaff) but too much of coffee is bad for health! Keep the dose of Calcium high on everyday diet, cause Coffee sucks the calcium outta your bones!
