Three Layer Tea

Three Layer Tea, originally uploaded by gambar713.

This is a nice cold drink especially for summer! Careful to those who can't take milk though. Here are the things you need :

Gula melaka syrup (or brown sugar syrup)
Evaporated milk (naik harga sudah!)
Strong tea (preferably teh tarik stuff)
Lots of ice

How :
Get a nice tall glass, and fill it up with ice. Pour in the gula melaka syrup first (depending on how sweet you want it to be), and add an equal amount of milk. Lastly, pour in the tea slowly to get the layered effect.

Mix it well before you drink, unless you want to drink 3 different liquids! Hehehe! Have a go and enjoy your 3-Layer Tea!

House Warming for Acoi

Acoi finally got a convenient place to stay. It's in Kiulap near RIPAS. We had Maghrib & Isya jemaah prayers last nite terus tahlil. Good to see families & relatives from both sides attending & warming up the new home. Good luck with the cleaning Acoi!

By the way, I took these panaromic photos using my phone. Quality just ok, but it gives a wide-screen view of what's happening.

Happy Birthday Mamit

As mentioned earlier, it's Mamit's turn to celebrate her birthday on 20th June. The plan to surprise her didn't work, probably because it was already celebrated by her colleagues at work. Bangas kali sudah when she got home from work. Anyway, we enjoyed the Mango Cheese cake, it looked pretty and it tasted really good, lama sudah inda makan. Happy Birthday again Mamit!

We had a last minute birthday celebration for our beloved father / grandfather which also co-incides with Fathers Day.

Plenty of food, and cakes (only 2 this year!). More pics of the family Web Album.

Happy 1st Anniversary

I was browsing through the old postings and I discovered that this blog is already more than a year old! The first posting was uploaded on 3rd June 2006. Gosh, time really flies. I have about 48 postings (single-handedly done by myself, nada support eh!), atu pun kira kes malas!

Anyway, to the regular visitors & readers (you know who you are) thanks a lot. Keep reading & keep visiting, walaupun inda seberapa blog ani. As I said in the first posting, it's meant to be a way to keep in touch amongst family members, relatives & friends.

Will try to update the blog with new widgets soon! Thank you all!

Mencungkil Ambuyat

This was last Thursday. An unplanned feast of Ambuyat and its condiments. In case anyone is curious, Ambuyat is a traditional Brunei delicacy (can also be found in Sabah & Sarawak). The Ambuyat is made from sago. To prepare it, freshly boiling water is added to ambulong (ambuyat in its powder form) and it would become a starchy substance. We usually use Candas (malay version of chopstick) to cungkil (pick) the Ambuyat, dip it in your favourite dip/sauce (usually something sweet & sour). It's an acquired taste, but once you like it, you will forever like it. The fun bit is to eat it with a group of people while it's hot!

Let's Play Together!
