culinary pleasure international restaurant, cyberjaya

jumaat lepas masa anniv kitorang berdua gorgeous people ni *HAHA*,
sy pun google la mana tempat makan best kat area-area berhampiran putrajaya.
kalau tak, biasanya ke tempat makan biasa je.
tak serai cyber, sharin low bangi. tak sharin low bangi, serai cyber. back and forth. lolx

then i stumbled upon this restoran kat cyberjaya..
no. 1 in dessert kat cyber.. dalam tripadvisor tak silapnya.
culinary pleasure. tengok gambar makanan macam menarik je.
so let's kita.

kitorang gerak lepas maghrib and lepas pangako sa'yo. bahaha
pangako sa'yo tak boleh tinggal tu :P

sempatlah snap sekeping gambar berempat. walaupun dengan anaqi kepala bergoyang. haha

sy tak berapa tau location kat cyber ni.
tapi restoran ni kat area yang banyak kedai-kedai makan arab.
google mapkan aje.
tapi macam sunyi la kawasan tu. orang tak ramai.
ko tau la cyber.. siang-siang je ada orang; pekerja mostly. and students.
malam dah serupa bandar mati.. yang kalau cerita cowboy, ada tumbleweed pusing-pusing atas jalan ditiup angin.
haha tak tau translation dalam BM.. nanti google la apa tumbleweed tu :'D

ahha budak manja seorang ni.. nak duduk sendiri la kot time ni.. kemain menangis lagi.

anaqi ni dok suka menggeliat-geliut.
semua benda nak capai and nak panjat.
tak nak dok dah kat kerusi baby tu.. punyalah cantik kerusinya kan.
kalau kita pegang pun belum tentu nak diam.
maknanya apakah.
maknanya dia dah pandai ada choice sendiri. amboi sangat budak kecik ni :P

bagi jelly, duduk kat kerusi orang dewasa baru nak diam. haha

so kitorang mama and babah gilir-gilir la jaganya.
kejap anaqi dok sini, kejap anaqi dok sana.
beginilah sambutan anniv bila masuk tahun kelima ye, tuan puan. hahaha

tengah tunggu makanan sampai.

kitorang tak order banyak pun.
husband ambik nasi arab lamb.. sy ambik chicken fajita dengan roti tortilla.
lepas tu try jugak ais krim durian musang king satu scoop.
kang order banyak-banyak makan berdua, tak habis jugaknya.
budak-budak berdua ni tumpang-tumpang makanan kitorang je biasanya.

dua-dua ambik jus; tembikai dan mangga.

jus buah dia memang pekat gileee.
kira jus pure la.
lagi satu daripada pembacaan dan explanation pekerja restoran,
restoran ni menyajikan hidangan yang organik sahaja..
means tanpa ajinomoto, MSG dan yang sewaktu dengannya.
bagus betul.
memang dah lama sy cari restoran macam ni.
kalau tak tu, sebeban aji dimasuknya dalam masakan. nak bagi sedap kot.
sebenarnya masakan tu boleh je jadi sedap tanpa aji.
gunakan bahan-bahan yang betul.. sedaplah insyaAllah.

bapa mithali sedang menyuapkan jelly kepada anakanda tercinta. heheh

ariana and i.

lepas tu sampailah makanan yang kitorang order..

chicken fajita sy dimasukkan dalam hot plate yang apinya menjulang sendiri *ok i exaggerate bab menjulang tu.. haha*
tapi lama-lama api tu padam la.
kalau suka garing-garing, kacau ayam tu kat tengah.
kalau tak suka garing, letak ayam ke tepi.

chicken fajita.

sebenarnya ada macam-macam hot plate ni.
beef, lamb, seafood.. semua ada.
memang tempting tengokkan gambar yang ada udang tu.
tapi apakan daya.
ko tak nampak zits bermaharajalela kat muka ni.
so berpantanglah seafood sebulan dua.
bila dah ok tu, baru kita boleh makan seafood balik.. hahaha.
tapi one thing yang kitorang suka;
bawang dia manis sungguh. manis bawang la bukan manis gula tu.
sy kalau jumpa bawang madu kat pasar, memang terus beli.
la ni je dah lama tak jumpa.
so kemanisan bawang dia macam bawang madu la.
oh i-miss-bawang-madu!

tortilla dia letak dalam bakul ni. 3 keping je dapat. kongsi dengan ariana-anaqi.

nasi arab lamb, husband punya. lamb dia lembut sungguh.

cumanya husband cakap nasi super banyak,
so dia rasa lamb dia tak mencukupi.
in the end, dia ambik sikit chicken fajita sy. lolx

ais krim durian musang king.

ais krim diorang buat sendiri tak silap sy.
memang rasa la duriannya.
husband kata macam rasa serawa durian. yang sejuk :D

tapi restoran ni memang banyak desserts..
dalam menu nampak cambest je semua.
creme brulee pun ada.
so peminat desserts semua bolehlah datang sini try.

macam mana nak jadi model ais krim ni cenggini punya semangat muka makan ais krim. hahaha

anaqi tengah nak memanjat kerusi kot time ni.

so habislah makan semua.
licin kot. lolx (kecuali nasi husband ada tinggal sikit sebab portion nasi yang banyak tadi)
harga ok je; tak murah sangat, tapi tak jugak mahal.
harga standardlah kalau ikutkan restoran di area cyber ni.
yang kitorang makan semua tadi tu.. dalam RM70++.

boleh mengulang datang lagi.. sebab sedap. haha

ok till then! :)

farewell di indus, bora ombak, putrajaya

haa den ingatkan bora ombak ado kek KL yo..
ruponyo kek putrajaya pun ado!
*slang nogori tompias2 sikit daripada abah den* :D

sejak bila ada ni tak tahu.. last year kot.
betapa tak caknanya diri ini terhadap pembangunan event venue dan kedai-kedai makan baru kat putrajaya.. ahaks.

long story short, last week macam tu division kitorang ada buat makan-makan sikit kat bora ombak.
belah restoran indus, marina.. tepi tasik putrajaya.
tujuannya adalah untuk meraikan persaraan en. jit dan farewell untuk alumnis.
termasuk jugaklah birthdays dll.
duit bayar guna duit pertandingan booth yang kitorang menang hari tu.
lagipun tak mahal lunch buffet dia.. RM25 seorang je.
choice tak banyak sangat.. mungkin sebab tempat kecil, tapi semua sedap.

dah sampai kita bergambar dulu. haha

and here was the food spread.

kemain malas nak explain details kan.. gambar makanan pun tak ada captions. haha
den nak laju-laju ni.
sebab den ado kojo len nak buek lopeh ni :P

gambar happy-happy dengan 'abah' kitorang, en. jit.

en. fahmi & dik aizat.

kak nor, KML, ann, imah dan aleyne (alumnis) pun datang memeriahkan majlis.

pinggan pertama sy. semua lauk tu sedap.

lepas tu rasa sikit spaghetti.

petang tu pulak dalam pukul 4.30 petang,
sesi punch out terakhir oleh en. jit sebelum mula bersara.

last punch out.

all the best kepada en. jit.
selamat bersara, selamat berholiday, selamat beribadah dan semoga gembira dengan life persaraan.
en. jit is a very nice and kind hearted person.
mana-mana pi memang semua mudah mesra dengan beliau.
ada rezeki jumpa lagi. tqtq! :)

our 5th year

haha masuk tahun kelima, boleh lupa tarikh anniversary *katok kepala sendiri* :'DD

itupun kawan-kawan kat whatsapp group dok wish2.
sy tanya wish kenapa?
hah, anniversary ke?! hari ni berapa hb?? hahaha.
husband pulak pagi tu dia cakap ada call, tapi tak angkat.
sy tinggal phone dalam bilik ofislah tu.
lepas tu dia pi meeting.
dah tengah hari baru kitorang wish me-wish sesama sendiri. lololx

oh btw tarikhnya dah lepas hari tu.. iaitu pada 10 februari. 10.2.12.
hari pun kebetulan sama dengan 5 tahun lepas; iaitu jatuh pada hari jumaat.

mengingatkan semula solemnization (akad nikah) pada 10 feb,
time tu sebenarnya sy tengah cuti seminggu balik daripada modul wataniah.
so boleh bayangkan la tahap kerentungan kulitku itu. hahah
malam-malam kat dorm dok la pakai masker.. dengan harapan kurang la sikit kerentungan.
tak ada ye, kalau ko dah berkawad hari-hari kat tengah padang kawad tu. haha
cuma cover sikit la tangan, pakai glove.
sy sorang je pakai glove. depa bagi sebab nak kahwin katanya :'DD

so here's to the 5th year, and more great years to come.

happy anniversary to us! :)

duty at istana negara

*maafin gwe, baru sempat nak blog about this!* :D

one thing that we get to experienced while working in this ministry other than entire places in whole malaysia (or the world);
is the chance to be working at istana negara, at least once a year.
it's like a hari raya, really.
an annual event where all the happy faces gather *of course happy, getting the darjah kebesaran (honor) one. tee hee*

so this year, i'm back again (last year i didn't join because i just got back from my maternity leave).
i've being pointed as a liason officer (LO), together with all my LO friends.
and i would love to share this memorable moments in my blog.. for the record purpose (and just because i love to blog! jyeah)

the view inside istana negara on the 1st february morning.

the event occurs on the 1st february, each year.
it's when lotsa people get their datukships (yes, long queue!) :D

but we started a whoooole earlier than that.
i mean the preparation.
other than being an LO, i was in charged on the LO guidelines book *where the LOs would refer to*
so i had to stay back quite late for 2 nights.. with the team (such a dedicated one. thank you!)
and i had to wake up as early as 4.30am in the morning to get ready to istana negara.
so just imagine how sleep deprived i was for a day or two :P a bit cuckoo lah. haha

on 31st january, we had the rehearsal first.
5.30am from the office by bus (some rode their own vehicles).
and i was wearing the uniform on rehearsal day while everyone else's not!
it's on myself for being cuckoo and forgot to ask about the attire from the committee, may be because i was too busy till late at night; i didn't focus much on what to wear. kinda funny but embarrassing, though.
i might laugh about it someday with dear friends.
some say there is no such thing as a bad publicity ay?
might be a myth, but i'm not into getting those attentions or whatsnot.
so i just pulled it off, sucked it out and dealt with it.
and thank youuu to those wonderful and kind souls who were supporting *you know who you are!*

so the next day, 5.30am.. again.

if you can find me.. i'm the one who popped out her head at the back - right side :P

yes we were given breakfasts and lunchs for two days.
alhamdulillah for the food on our plates.

with kak masyitah or our 'kak long'.

i had an awful zits break out those days.
idk, it always happened.
whenever i'm going to be in an event, or with LOTSA people (like hari raya!).. coincidentally there will be lots of zits.
either a month earlier i was consuming lots of seafood,
or i'm going to have a menstrual, or i'm stressing out working..
(or all of the above! :DD).. then the zits will come out.
and they did it again on istana negara time *of all days, you guys zits chose to burst out on an important event?! great! haha*

i just put on the 5-year-ago no. 1 uniform.
and great, it still fits! lolx (next time i may consider to tailor a new one.. one of the opulette was already rotting?? seriously!)

i was LO-ing my former boss who's getting the datukship that day.
and here are some photos from the event:

compulsory: a photo with the hulubalang istana

this is the dewan santapan's door.. if anyone's wondering. (the palace's dining hall)

our so-called gang and our annual routine of hanging out at the basement cafe.

i also call it the 'marhaen cafe'.. simply because all of us, the rakyats who have the duty here, can buy our meals. yeah it's just a nick name :)

in the dewan santapan with kak jijah and kak masyitah.

somehow i just love this perspective.

the counter where we can collect the bintang and pingat's boxes after the ceremony.

just a humble selfshot.

carried the bintang box in the paperbag.

actually someone else who's being paired with me was the one who's responsible to get the box and send it to datuk's pilot (driver).
i was trying to contact him; i whatsapped him, i called him.. but to no avail.
seems like he's reading all my messages *the blue tick?* but i was talking to a wall.
i suspect that he fled early (secretly) and just kept silence.. that's why he didn't respond.
i was quite disappointed of his act but lucky him, i was too kind to report it to his team leader.
and lucky too that the box was not as heavy and as huge as the datuk seri utamas' boxes.
so i just got it myself and i just hope he lives a happy live wherever he is. grr. lolx

taller, tallest, tall, tall, tall, shortie. lolx

with datuk's daughter.

a beautiful spot for a picture; the staircase.

not from my camera, but this one's worth to share. the LOs were waiting for VIPs and guests at the 2nd entrance.

also not from my camera; us the girls.

our istana negara gang. :D

the gang and aizat was in the photo.

most of the LOs. we took some photos after the event.

and boomerang photos too. xD
thanks for this great experience.
i went back home afterwards and slept until 6+++pm *still not enough sleep until the next day! haha*
the i woke up and played with anaqi till night.

so that's all about my federal territory day.
till we meet again, istana negara.

ariana dan pokok

hai hai!

haritu ariana, dengan kitorang-kitorang sekali *mama dan babah* dapat homework daripada taska.
kitorang kena siapkan satu family tree dan hantar sebelum 27 januari.
kira buat sama-sama lah.
syaratnya kena ada pakai barang-barang terbuang.

so oklah, sy ambik botol shower gel yang dah kosong and kotak barang mainan as the base.
barang lain macam warna, kertas tu kita beli la :D

ariana nampak seronok dan bersungguh-sungguh nak buat pokok dia tu.

mula-mula cover botol dengan kertas putih dulu.. baru kita warna.

babah tolong potongkan reranting dan lekatkan.
part cover ranting dengan kertas tu susah sikit, so yang tu sy buat.

lepas tu, kaler.

babah gunting batang ais krim untuk dijadikan pagar.

ariana khusyuk tanggalkan gam daripada tangan. hahah

then for the 'leaves', sy guna kertas warna hijau.
kitorang komot-komotkan aje.. lekat kat batang pokok tu.
lepas tu ada la beli benda bulat-bulat tu kat daiso..
lekat sikit kat pokok macam buah-buah dia.

ariana lekatkan.

then i added the swing just for the extra effect :D

tadaah! siap dah family treenya.

gambar tak berapa nak lawa printing sebab ink printer kitorang dah nak habis daa.

ariana bergambar dengan pokoknya sebelum ke taska pagi tu.

she loves the tree so much,
she cried when she got home sebab tak dapat bawak balik pokoknya.. hahaha
babah sent me the photo sebab time tu sy balik lambat sikit kot.
it was funny. lolx
