Scotch Egg & Mashed Potato

Here I am after a long break….

I was browsing one of my friends photos and came across a dish; Scotch Egg. I was interested to do it, so I asked my friend for the recipe and also Google-ed it. Well it’s a very simple dish actually.

I made it for breakfast/lunch today with mashed potato.  I modified the recipe according to my preference.

So first the recipe for Mashed Potato:

4 potatos (skinned and boiled)
A Pinch of salt
Pepper for taste
Shredded cheese
4 tablespoon of milk
1 tablespoon of butter

First smash the potatos, then all the other ingredients and mix thoroughly.

Tada!!!! Mashed potato ready… =)

Now recipe for Scotch Egg:

6 eggs
250gm minced chicken
1 onion (chopped finely)
Salt & pepper for taste
50gm all-purpose seasoned flour
Butter

First boil the egg and peel the shell. In another bowl, mix the minced chicken, chopped onion, flour, salt and pepper thoroughly. Next take the mixed chicken meat and make a cup like shape on your palm so that the hard-boiled egg fit in. Cover the egg fully with it. Then heat a pan with little bit butter and pan grill the egg till the meat is well cooked. Once done cut the egg in half, and Scotch is ready to be served.

Original recipe is to use minced pork or turkey meat, but I prefer using chicken meat. The cooking method is either to bake or deep fry it. I don’t have an oven and I don’t like deep frying, hence I pan grilled it.

I made these for Shirley and Saranya. Both monkeys said it tasted good. I hope it’s true. Personally I love the taste and I enjoyed it, but there is always room for improvement. Heheheheheheheheh…

This is the outcome... =)

Annoyed!

Just don’t get it why some creatures around me must such an annoying one!  

Damned pissed off with these people. Ungrateful creatures. When you people were in trouble, I helped you like nobody’s business and now you can’t excuse me for a small issue. Seriously shows how shallow you are.

Next time don’t expect a single shit from me!

Argh!!!!!!

People just wait to ruin my mood!

Review on '3' (Moonu)

The current issue that is being posted and discussed almost every minute in my Facebook newsfeed is all about the movie ‘3’ (Moonu).

I thought I can watch the movie later, yet the temptation to see what the movie is all about won and I watched it last night.

According to my Facebook friends’ postings, I receive mixed reaction. Some say the performances of both actors are awesome. Some say it’s a waste of money and time watching this movie.

So I wanted to find out for myself what the hype is all about.

The opening itself was different, not always you get this type of opening. I think that’s a plus point (in my case anyway) because of the out of the box scene. It piqued my interest on what’s actually going to happen and how is the movie going move from that point.

In my point of view, the first half is a very nice smooth flowing session. Most people in love will really embrace it. I personally enjoyed it as an entertainment. The songs were good too. Now that’s an undeniable fact.

The second half was totally beyond my expectations. I seriously loved the second half. I feel this is the part of the movie both actors managed to show their best skills in acting. Hats off to Dhanush and Shruti Hassan. But the disappointing point was the Poo Nee Poo song sequence. I find it not relevant. Why This Kolaveri Di was something like I imagined, so I was satisfied with the song sequence.

Overall, I believe it’s a movie worth watching. In this ever evolving era let’s just stop hoping for the common masala movies! This movie is a refreshing one, compared to the usual boring movies we get nowadays. It’s has a very different plot and it’s really an entertaining movie for people like me.

Overall rating: A

Birthday Celebrations!

Ok let me warn this is an expired post and its freaking long (only proceed if you are willing to take the risk). I know I said no History class on my last entry, but I can’t resist myself from posting this.

I am going to post about my birthday celebrations.

10^th January 2012

I was having Mid-Sem on that day. First day some more. So no celebrations. I was in study mode (if you know what my study mode is). Hahahahaha.

I received birthday wishes from my family members, friends and relatives. Thank you people! One wish that touched me was a birthday message from Amma. It was so sweet of her to send me a message. I immediately teared reading her message. Love you lot Amma! Appa was no exception, he gave me birthday gift without me asking (not that I always ask for gift). But despite all this I still felt a bit down on my day. Maybe because I was stress for exam or what, I don’t know!

Part 1

Since I was down, My cousins, Shanker Anne and Priya Akka, invited me to their house. I was actually lazy to go but they insisted that I come. So that weekend, Saturday, I went out with my sister to Sunway Pyramid. I bought a top and a dress with my birthday money from my cousin brother and Appa.

That night my brother took us out for dinner to celebrate my birthday. We went to a seafood restaurant. I ate until I was too full that I cant even move. The next day was Pongal, so my sister and I went to cinema to watch Nanban. Thank you Anne and Akka for making my weekend memorable! Love you both a lot <3 (Unfortunately, I did not snap any photos =( )

Part 2

So since there was no celebration on the day, my friends, Jessica and Shirley decided to celebrate a surprise birthday for me. After Mid-Sem we went out to relax ourselves and to do some CNY shopping for Jess. So before the shopping, we decided to have cake in KL Sentral Secret Recipe. I being a smart girl figured out they want to surprise me. I was like smiling. Then the waiter brought the cake and she didn’t light up the candle. So we had to wait for the lighter. Then they sang me Happy Birthday song softly, (it was crowded and kind of awkward to sing loudly)I made a wish, cut the cake and fed Jess and Shirley cake.

After that we went shopping. We met Cindy akka after shopping, had dinner with her. Then Jess said she wants to buy a handbag, so we all went to a bag shop. They asked my opinion on a bag, I also said it nice and all. So Jess bought the bag.

All done, we went back to Shirley’s place. We were staying over in her place that night. Both the noobs were urging me to go and bathe. When I was back, they surprised me again (this time it really worked) by giving the handbag they bought just now. I was seriously shocked. I never even doubt that the bag was for me. Nevertheless, I was very happy. Thank you babes!!! Love you all very much <3

Part 3

I was back in Penang for CNY break and since I told my mum that I missed celebrating birthday at home, she organized a very small and simple celebration in my uncle’s house for me. That’s why I love her very very the much!!! =D

My sister was back for holidays too, so both my mum and sister did all the preparations.

We went to my uncle’s house. My aunty and her son were there. My cousin sister and my nephew were there too. I cut the cake and we had a simple dinner. Although I was a simple one, I really enjoyed myself and felt so happy to be able to celebrate my birthday with them, though late. Thank you very much Amma for that!

Overall my birthday celebrations were awesome. I had a great time all of them. And I really appreciate all the efforts my family and my friends took to make me feel so blessed and happy on my day! LOVE YOU ALL WITH MY HEART!!!

Lunch Outing =)

My dear readers, I know its not like I have many readers, nevertheless, I am very sorry for not updating my blog for a very long period. Blame my laziness! It never leaves me.

So I don’t want to waste my time and your time by having a History class of what happened in my life for the past few months. Without beating around the bush, I will talk about my current life.

Semester two has somehow ended. It was such a dreadful semester. This week marks my first short semester. Lets hope this semester will be a better one than the previous one.

Jess, Shirley, Nandni and I came back this Monday to campus after a very long (one week only) break to register ourselves. We met our mentor Mr. Raffi. He wanted to go for a makan session, so he asked us to plan one.

Yesterday, I am supposed to attend a very important class which will be taught by a very important lecturer. Whether I am excited for myself or not, my friends were so excited for me. But to bad class was cancelled. I am supposed to attend the class this Friday. Lets see what happens. But honestly speaking, I don’t know why, I am looking forward to the class, maybe curiosity.

Since Mr. Raffi wanted to go out with us, we chose today and the place was Papa John’s. We met sir after our class and he took us there. We enjoyed our lunch. Today was an awesome day because we were all sharing our school stories with sir. It was fun. Based on the stories; Jess was a ‘budak baik’, Nandni was a ‘big don’ and Shirley and I were the ‘gangsters’in school those days. Hahahahahahaha.

After crapping we suddenly remembered it was Pink Day in Baskin Robbins. So sir suggested lets go have ice cream as desserts. Sir treated all of us ice cream. Thank You Sir.

We enjoyed our ice creams there, then headed back to MSU. Sir dropped us off in Tesco. Jess and Shirley accompanied me to Tesco, because I wanted to buy something. Then Jess dropped me back home. That’s all for today.

Next outing will be a movie outing I guess. Next week Wednesday. We still haven’t decide what movie to watch. Never mind got one more week to decide. Hehehehehehe.

Simple Review on Nanban

Today's was a movie day. My cousin Priya akka, 'belanja'ed me Nanban movie. Had a great time. And my cousin, Shanker anna bought durians for me. I was craving for durian since last year. Today the crave was satisfied! Wohooo!!!! I ate until I was too full. Hehehehe. Thanks akka and anna!!! Love you guys lots.

So here's a simple review on the movie. Btw I am a die hard Vijay fan! =p

The movie was an entertainer from start to end! A movie worth watching in cinemas. A great movie to be watched with friends and family and suitable for all age group.

All the actors did a great job and I think they managed met the viewers expectations. I can safely say director Shankar made a successful remake.

Though the movie lacked an originality (I know its a remake =p ), in other aspects the movie was great.

My overall rating would be A+. =D

Definitely a must watch movie!

Surprise for Shirley

The next event after new year was Shirley’s birthday. Jess and I planned for it few weeks before new year but was kind of confused because we didn’t know what gift to get her.

So on the 2^nd Jan, eve of her birthday, Shirley texted me, asking me to stay over in her place. I lied to her that I am coming back late night with my cousin and can only stay over in her place on Tuesday (btw it was Jess’s idea).

I came back from Penang around 3pm and was waiting for Jess to prepare for our plan. She came to my place and picked me up around 8pm. We went to Tesco first to get Shirley her gift. Then we went to Giant to buy other things.

Before our shopping we had ‘cendol’. Btw it was tasty and I recommend it.

We planned a prank for Shirley, so we went to Giant to get the things then went to Kings, got her a cake. All shopping done, we went back to my house. I wrote some long essay on the birthday card and Jess was busy wrapping the gift. Then we got ready, packed all our things and left my place around 12am to go to Shirley’s house. Before leaving we both sent her a text wishing her Happy Birthday.

After arriving at her place, outside her house we lite up the candles on the cake and we shouted her name in front of her house. Shirley was in her room, so her housemate opened the door for us. Then, the moment she greeted us, we sang Happy Birthday. We went to her room and saw her Skyping with Sendrew. So we asked her to cut cake while he was on Skype. Unfortunately we forgot to snap photos, so we faked the cutting cake session to snap photos!!! Hehehehehehe…..

After that we asked her to fulfill our prank. She managed to fulfill it, but she was complaining all the way. We told her no present unless she does as we say.

We gave her the card and the present. I really hope she likes it (P/S: Just read her blog and she said she loves it). Great!!!

Then we talked and went to bed at 2.30am and next day we had class at 8am and it was quiz!!! When we talked, I asked about the surprise. It seems she found out that we were up to something because the text Jess sent her was very fake. Anyhow we still manage to make her surprised and happy. Hehehehe….I know, I am smart. =p

The next day morning Shirley prepared hot water and coffee and milo for Jess and me. We went to campus for our quiz.

After that we went to Subang Parade. ‘Lepak’ed there for sometime. Then we had our lunch in Kenny Rogers.

I am staying over in Shirley’s place for a month, so after our Biochemistry class Jess dropped us off at Shirley’s place. I cooked Maggi for Shirley for her dinner. Sorry babe, couldn’t prepare anything special. We were all very busy with our assignment and lab reports that we had no time to cook a proper meal. With that her birthday ended. =)

P/S: Shirley really hope you enjoyed your day with us. Love you lots darling! And dont worry about troubling k. Its nothing!!! <3 <3 <3
