I wanted to blog about the wedding preparation but couldn’t find any picture of my rockstar bridesmaids DIY-ing. Arghhhhhh!

Think I might have lost those pictures forever. I am such an idiot :(

I spent too long looking for them pictures and it is bedtime soon so will have to abandon initial blogging topic.

For now you just have to contend with a picture of my homemade deep fried apple pies.

Apple filling was made from scratch but I used store bought puff pastries. Busy woman has got to learn how to cheat in the kitchen.

# – Homemade deep fried apple pies and premium vanilla ice cream (not homemade).

We went to the last day of Maybank’s Treats Fair at Mid Valley with only one mission – to get a deep fat fryer.

The fair was crazy packed but we managed to get in and out within 1/2 hour.

At first I thought nobody was offering it as every merchant was pushing air fryers (which in my opinion is just an overpriced toaster oven) but in the end we found our deep fat fryer!

A Kenwood that is rated 4.5 stars on Amazon. Score!

It is pretty good looking too compared to the clunky and badly-assembled models we’ve been seeing at local electrical shops.

# – Metal mouth alert. Been a while since I smiled with my teeth visible.

Though we had to top up RM52 on top of ALL the points my card had, it was totally worth it.

We then left Mid Valley and headed to our neighbourhood supermarket for a lot of frozen nuggets, drummets, calimari rings etc. We also bought 6 litres of cooking oil.

# – The husband looking at nuggets.

# – Our new deep fat fryer.

image

# – First batch of nuggets!

image

# – Frying away with no oil splatter and smell.

image

# – Perfectly deep fried nuggets.

image

# – And perfectly fried potato wedges.

A common misconception is that deep fried food is unhealthy due to the grease but actually when fried with clean oil at the right temperature, it is less greasy and healthier than a plate of stir fried food #truestory

Not saying our frozen nuggets are healthy though hahahhahahaha

So many things we can do easily now… buffalo wings, churros, chuyauchar, deep fried Mars bars, deep fried fake crab meat, homemade crisps and so many more possibilities!

Good thing we got this after the treadmill hahahah.

Nice Saturday

Breaking out new stuff from Bangkok…

Had a nice day out with hubs doing a spot of shopping and catching up with my old friends.

We first had brunch at this restaurant in TTDI called Pickles & Fig.

They serve gourmet sandwiches mainly and really good smoothies.

# – My very delicious prawn salad ciabatta and goji berry smoothie.
image

The hubs had a salted beef pastrami with rotkraut which was stupendous. I loveeeee salted beef!

I ordered a prawn salad sandwich which was really good too….springy prawns, fresh crisp alfafa sprouts and confit tomatoes. I had a goji smoothie too…delicious but healthy.

Then we went to the Malaysia International Dive Expo (MIDE) at PWTC. Hunted for cheap and cheerful dive holidays and bought a few hundred ringgit worth of dive accessories (read: unnecessary but nice to have knick-knacks).

# – All we need is an extra dive comp to become an honorary Singaporean.

After that, headed to Pavillion for dinner with my buddies from primary school.

# – With Eric, Jayna and Ying.
image

I even got an early birthday present from Jayna :D

# – My first birthday present of this year!
image

Had a great time chatting about everything under the sun, or in this case under the ceiling of restaurant called Athena.

After dinner, we went to the loklok truck in TTDI for supper haha. Weekend so much indulge mah!

Came home and started watching a brand new series – Person of Interest since we finally finished Game of Thrones last night. As for GoT, holy mother of mother crap, what was THAT????????

Anyway PoI seems okay, a little formulaic but Jim Caviezel is nice to look at. It’s only 2 episodes though so I am hoping the show would find its footing soon.

Going to click publish and then watch a 3rd episode. Nights!
