Alahai senang je pun bahan-bahan nak buat masak butter ni. Actually, ada dua jenis masak butter, satu yang ada sarang-sarang telur tu, tapi this time i buat creamy-cheesy gitu. Tak letak telur pun.



Step pertama, cuci cengkerang lobster bersih-bersih kemudian rebus je dalam air, lebih kurang 10-15 minit. Jangan rebus terlalu lama, nanti lobster terlebih masak dan isi lobster tu jadi liat. Tak sedap ye puan-puan. Dah siap boleh angkat dan terus letak dalam icebath (air kosong campur ais) untuk hentikan proses memasak lobster itu.


Step seterusnya, panaskan minyak kemudian cairkan butter, tujuannya cairkan butter dalam minyak ialah untuk elakkan butter tu dari cepat hangus. Kemudian tumiskan bahan-bahan A sampai naik bau, lepas tu boleh lah tambah susu cair, agak-agak je berapa banyak nak letak tu. Next, tambahkan dried parsley untuk tambah rasa herba sikit. Bancuh tepung jangung lebih kurang satu sudu dalam air suam dan curahkan dalam kuah.


Dah jadi macam ni, masukkan cheddar cheese, lepas tu boleh la tambahkan garam dan gula. Season to taste bak kata omputih. Nak gak cakap omputih, matila kena kecam. #sistabah

Okay, step seterusnya takde dalam gambar, tapi lepas rebus tu i tengok lobster tu macam terlalu berair so i panggang sikit guna pemanggang ajaib, nak bagi dia ada kesan 'charred' sikit lepas tu tuang je kuah butter atas lobster and sambung grill sikit lagi. Sebenarnya kalau nak tambah cheese lagi bagi melt atas tu pun boleh, tapi sebab nak makan dengan nasi, so i tak tambah cheese.


Dah siap. Bagi i rasa dia sama je macam masak butter yang selalu makan kat restoran tu, kalau suka makan masak butter, so boleh la try masak cara ni. Guna udang yang saiz besar pun boleh tapi udang pun ya ampun mahal sekarang. I ni pun dapat lobster free so boleh la try masak.

Tanya husband okay ke masak tu, dia kata okay tapi nak kuah butter cair sikit. Baiklah bang. Lulz.

Selamat mencuba!

Finally, here comes the most dreaded but also anticipated part of my pregnancy, the finishing line, the labor. If you haven't read about my pregnancy story you can read it here and here. My due date was initially on November 15th, 2015 but after careful consideration and extensive discussion with my gynae, i requested for an elective cesarean on the October 30th, 2015.

My babies, on the other hand, have a mind of their own and so eager to see mummy and daddy, so they decided to say Assalamualaikum earlier.

October 15th, 2015 

My husband went back to work the day before and it's risky to stay alone towards the end of pregnancy so i decided to stay at my parents house. I remember, it was just like any other day, i spent most of my time in my bedroom and was online a lot. In the evening while browsing facebook i saw someone posted a video of her singing on smule (the app) and it looked so much fun. If you don't know me, i love singing so i downloaded that app on my iphone and started figuring out how it works. I even sign up to the free VIP pass so that i can sing more song.

I started singing one song and posted it on my girlfriends group whatsapp, even gushed about how awesome the app is and forced them to download it. Most of them ended up downloading it bahaha.

I sang a few song then it's Maghrib prayer time so i stopped and i prayed and read Quran for a while till Isya'. After that i continued singing on the apps. Mengaji pastu menyanyi, so bipolar right?

I also texted my cousin that night (he is a doctor), and asked him about the cesarean procedures and what to expect during the whole process. Free consultation yay! It must be the natural instinct, you can sense when you are nearing labor.

I don't know what had gotten into me that night, but i felt so energetic, i can't stop singing and i can't sleep.

Well, I didn't know that singing actually induces labor -.-' If you want to induce labor, try singing and try singing Adele song. I would recommend Hello. I mean, 'Hello from the outsideee~'. Geddit geddit?

You can pretty much guess what happens next.

                                                                   ***

Wow, it's 2 am now, i better go to sleep. I'll continue the labor story in the next post.

Bye!

Assalamalaikum w.b.t

If you haven't read my first and second trimester story yet, you can read it here. I think the experience of carrying twins during the first and second trimester is almost similar to carrying singleton because their movement is still so light and fleeting, it was easy breezy and quite comforting for me. The real challenge begins once i entered the final trimester.

Third Trimester

As soon as i entered the third trimester, i've already carried approximately 3kg total weight of both of my babies, that's the normal birth weight for singleton baby and i still have a long way to go! My body started to feel like it's going to fall apart lol. Whenever i felt like everything is too much to handle, i kept reminding myself that i am almost at the finishing line. That totally made me feel better.

I was an emotional wreck, thanks to the pregnancy hormones. I cried at the silliest things and sometimes i merajuk-ed with my husband for no solid reason. Sorry husband! Hihi. Despite having restricted movements due to my ginormous belly and swollen feet, i did most of the preparation to welcome my babies at this time.

I totally invaded my bibik's room and turn it into my confinement room, i remember crying while cleaning the room because the room was filled with so many things and it took forever to clean. I read an article about nesting instinct somewhere, and i can totally relate to that. I felt like a mama bear, no one can touch or mess with things that i have prepared for my babies. Things need to be organised, and it annoyed me if things didn't go my way. Pregnant mums are so fun to be with, right?

I have so many other experience to share, but it will make this a super lengthy post so i'll stop here. To all mom to be out there who happen to stumble upon this blog and read this entry, cherish your pregnancy and enjoy every moment of it, go out and have manja time with your husband all you want now because once the little one arrives, your world will revolves around him/her. Be prepared to say goodbye to sleep, and nice handbags and high heels, and say hello to eyebags and diaper bags and sneakers tehee. Also, the most important thing of all, don't forget to recite Al-Quran and zikir everyday throughout your pregnancy, pray to Allah that you will have a smooth and easy delivery.
To all the wonderful husbands and dad-to-be, please give extra TLC to your pregnant wives, entertain their cravings and rub their swollen legs! You know, it ain't easy carrying a baby!

Good luck!

Assalamualaikum w.b.t

What to expect - twins pregnancy.

This is the story of how it all started.

Alhamdulillah, yay!

Wow, the last time i wrote here was over a year ago. I guess i just could not find my blogging mojo last year.

Life has turned 360 degrees for me. I got married in February this year to my childhood friend. We've known each other for almost eighteen year. I remember feeling so scared that i might end up alone and not finding someone to spend the rest of my life with. It's crazy what can happen in a year and the changes that you're gonna have to go through. I think when it comes to finding the one, when you know, you know and when the time comes, you'll embrace it. No need to worry to much about it :)

We were also surprised with a great news this year. We're expecting our first baby and they're twins, Alhamdulillah therefore the main reason i'm blogging again is because i have always wanted to document my pregnancy journey. I contemplated to write at the beginning but i guess if i don't write it down i won't have a written memories of this beautiful journey.

i hope this writing mojo stays throughout the pregnancy and mommyhood. Too ambitious but not impossible ;p

May Allah ease everything, InshaAllah :)

I am gonna write about my first trimester experience in the next post, InshaAllah.

I used butterhead lettuce and err romaine i think, and a whole plum for this salad.

I love salmon, so i throw some in and make poached egg to add the creaminess to the salad. Egg and salmon is such a good combo! The dressing for this salad is also so simple, one teaspoon of cream cheese, sour cream and mayonnaise each, sprinkle some pepper and dried parsley, a splash of hot water to thin out the gravy and you're good to go!

YUM!

It's really fun experimenting with ingredients and flavours. I love simple meal like this, no fuss in the kitchen, less cleaning, healthy, and delicious! WIN.

Bits and pieces of Aidilfitri this year.

While we're in this spirit of Hari Raya, let's not forget our brothers and sisters in Egypt, Palestine, Syiria and all over the world. May Allah accept all those death fi sabilillah in Egypt, Palestine, Syiria and all over the world as Martyrs. Ameen

Till then, Bye
