A Little Celebration

May 13, 2013June 9, 2013by Azis AbdulLeave a Comment

It’s always good to be grateful when we are blessed with another year (it should!). A little celebration that I did yesterday as my BDAY gift (?), oh nope let me say it was just another spontaneous practicing Italian food.

A simply salty and cheesy cute bow-tie Farfalle served with Shrimps and Lumfish Caviar such a perfect late lunch meal and a piece of Strawberry Cheese cake was a yummy choice after salty and cheesy taste melted in my mouth. It was a little or too-little food for BDAY huh? Oh nope, I promise myself to have a proper dinner for ~~late BDAY~~ celebration when I’m coming home (yes! home!). I hope I can control my giddy side from pricey food for that celebration :P

P.S. Forgive me for the strong light on all these, that was because I cooked late and as always dramatic light comes around 5 pm makes pictures too sharp :P. I’ll post the recipe later, I’m off now, it’s Monday oh, real life awaits.

The Revenge 3 ; Dessert.

April 21, 2013May 5, 2013by Azis AbdulLeave a Comment

Dessert time or tea time because I spent it around 4-5 pm? I guess afternoon tea time rite such british has. I’m not a british so lemme call it snack time. Spending late noon with an iPad, culinary books, slice of strawberry mousse and cold iced coffee milk. I sat down open an iPad to see different inspiration of food photography from other talented photographers. I really love to do that, moreover I had a slice of mousse, it was perfect enough because it wasn’t over sweet. Don’t you think the color is perfect? I agree. Cold iced coffee milk was simply refreshing this noon, just need instant coffee and condensed milk, no sugar added.

Oh my revenge is over finally, I should do the latest one as I thought before to make a complete revenge (4!!). Cooking – Capturing – Uploading – Editing – and Blogging for a whole day? Oh I need some rest as well to be ready for the next day.

P.S. Because today was so so cloudy from this morning, I had to give extra exposure to make pics that I captured brighter. But don’t you notice different lighting on some of last pics above? The sun was peeked for minutes before she said bye-bye, you can see from the shadows of the glass and the coffee can easily. I think I should learn more bout’ the lighting honestly yea, all those pics on this blog is depend on natural light, and I never use effects for editing, none. All I need to do for photoshop-ing is resize and lay-out, brightness and level is sometimes.

The Revenge 2 ; Lunch.

April 21, 2013April 21, 2013by Azis Abdul2 Comments

Lunch ; second part of my revenge. After had a small breakfast I decided to cook heavier dish (I meant tasteful). I played with the ingredients that I had ; boneless chicken, as usual, basic spices and broccoli. I just cooked them quickly because in the same time I’d like to stay longer inside my chill room (<—lazy boy! *sigh) because I do realize that today is gonna be over and…yes…and…I will meet again with another hectic week.

Cooking boneless chicken is one of the quickest food that I could cook today and it was so yummy indeed. Very simple and uh me want more (hiks). I spiced the chicken with basic spices, onion-garlic-pepper-tomato (always..hahaha). Not only that, I used tomato sauce and lime also, so I could get fresh and sour taste from basic spices and it was married with the chicken (I’ll post separately the recipe next time). I used lime instead lemon, I just realized that I didn’t have lemon and by preface I used lime juice. The taste was still yummy! Sour, spicy and so fresh!

For the side dish, I chose broccoli and baked with sauce that I made before, its the same sauce for the chicken. Oh my lunch today was so simply yummy moreover I had complete cold drinks, spring water, rose syrup and…and…red wine…(Ups I’m lying hehe that was just grapes,my Dad will kick and slap me if I drink wine I know :3). I tucked into my lunch when I sat down at the table, hehehe.

Alright, I’ll post the last part of my revenge after. Now time to enjoy the pics!

P.S. I posted a similar recipe before you can see here *different technique but the ingredient is the same*. Just because I remember the pics that I attached on that post was horrible makes me wanna re-post and now you can see the pics above, so much better rite? :)

My Brisk Sunday, Fiuh!

April 15, 2013April 20, 2013by Azis AbdulLeave a Comment

Sunday is supposed to be my free day, off work, and enjoy me time as much as I can. But yesterday was different. I went to work even it was small work. After I posted my previous one early morning before I went to work, I already thought that I had to have my sunday still. That was okay still working but I asked myself to do something at least my sunday wasn’t fly away.

So, after me and my flatmate, and our team finished with the work, myself and flatmate decided to get some enjoyment outside. He chose having coffee time as usual. Me? I chose to go to grocery side inside mall to find something. I had no clue about that ‘something’ until I saw strawberry and broccoli. Yup I chose red and green. After that, I came back to the coffee shop where my flatmate sat down. I didn’t order a cup of cappucino like his own, I just took a slice of tiramisu. Not bad.

I came home by 1pm alone. My flatmate had to do another part of work (fiuh! oh Sunday!). He attended the meeting for our mega event that I’ve told you before I will post it if we pass it. I told that I would be super busy early April rite? I forgot to tell you that crazy mega event is postpone until the day, thursday and friday this week and haaaaa I already shaking when I imagine pressure and challenges that we will face for that event.

Alright this is it, enjoy!

Puff Pastry, Yesterday.

April 14, 2013May 25, 2013by Azis AbdulLeave a Comment

Sometimes for some reasons I can be a lazybones for breakfast. Its bad I know because no reason ignoring breakfast due to how important breakfast is. When I’m really damn tired of my endless work and cant cook, I try to solve my bad habit for it. Buying some pastry could be an instant problem solver. And yesterday, when I had two puff pastries, I didn’t have a plan before to capture them as usual if I have enough time on saturday. I still work on weekend even I resume later in the morning. And I dunno why it was so enjoyable when I decided to take my camera and yiha!. I played with some effects from my NEX, no edit as usual except the layout. Okay, lemme finish this short post because…yeah because I have to go for other work, on Sunday? *sigh-deep-breath.

In Hurry, Duh!

April 10, 2013April 10, 2013by Azis AbdulLeave a Comment

In hurry? What does it mean?

Okay, lemme tell you, all these pictures on this post are taken this morning, as usual, preparing breakfast could be a big deal if, yes, IF I have short time and I had. My main food was few slices of pan roasted brown bread (I should have a toaster huh! I know *yawn). Side dish was Ryvita Dark Rye Cripsbread that I served with super simple yummy topping. I spread mayo, put pinch of grated cheddar cheese, tiny slices of fresh tomato, small red onion, and small chili sauce. Oh I still had slices of fresh avocado on it. Ah fellas, you have to try to taste that cripsbread with that topping, I’m serious it was melted in my mouth.

The first thing I saw this morning was my ‘five-days-ago‘ avocados had been ripped finally on my dining table. I’ve already served cold milk (I brewed condensed milk, hehe, I had no packed fresh milk) since last night to be used for avocado juice and tarra you can see from last pic, I served it for dessert after I ate orange. Hmm what is the relation with “In hurry”? I just realized that I had only 15 minutes to prepare myself before I had to go to work, can you imagine? And all pics that I took were so random, some of them were flat, duh. Fortunately, I still have nice ones, my fav pics are the orange and the avocado.

And how about those foods? I grab a bite to eat!!! I packed them and enjoyed in office! Hahaha, ridiculous. I just enjoyed my cold avocado and orange before I went to work. The remain avocado juice I packed them also, half of jar!!. Hmm, I should be smarter to manage my morning time later. Anyway, this post is gonna be too long if I don’t stop my writeup.

Time to enjoy the pics! Nom-nom.

Lazy Morning.

April 7, 2013April 7, 2013by Azis AbdulLeave a Comment

Hey watsap fellas? Hope your sunday went well. I’d like to share you what my breakfast was. Sunday, and I was so lazy to cook my breakfast this morning but it wasn’t because I was ‘lazy-lazy‘ actually. I chose to wake up late because I worked overnight the day before and sure I slept more than my normal time. My breakfast were chocolate croissant (officially croissant lover! I do), cereals, slices of fresh orange and soya milk. It was so simple and yummy in the same time.

Can you see my last bite of choco croissant on this post and imagine the taste? You should because it was very very nice, hehehe. Enjoy the pics! Nom-nom.

6.50 pm

There’s a sunrise and a sunset every single day, and they’re absolutely free. Don’t miss so many of them.

I captured these before I went for pray, I stopped, took camera, captured them and felt better because I believe that God is awesome, could draw colours for sunset differently everyday. I do love sunset as always, there is a peace on it.
