Mee Kari suka hati

Last mkn mee kari was more than a month ago,itu pon 3 suap je.Itu 2nd time mkn mee kari lepas delivery.Sebelum delivery dah 2 tahun tak mkn kot haha kesian tak?So what happened last time was,elok je mee kari mama sampai,kesayangan kecik merengek,nak tido.Jadi kene layan die dulu,mesti.Puas mama pusing keliling Papparich,finally he fall asleep and my kak long offered nak tunggu die dlm kereta,so i went and joined the rest,tapi by that time,my mee kari dah sejuk,kembang,ekk tak lalu dah nak makan.Yes,membazir i know tapi mee kasi sejuk mmg tok bleh masuk la wa cakap.Weekend lepas nampak kerang yg segar,terus beli sikit,balik masak mee kari.Excited nampak kerang sampai lupa kawan kawan yg lain,aka fish ball,fish cake,tauhu goreng.Belasah lah labu sebab dah teringin kan.Nak mkn kat kedai tak ler kot sebab sekarang dining out with little Muhriz boleh jadi huru hara,nightmare betul sebab die macam sgt amat tak suka lah kitorang makan kat luar sekarang nie.So hubby was done after the 2nd bowl,ckp lepas ni boleh buat lagi.I personally think the taste was ok lah,gravy tak pekat heavy sgt sebab letak santan sikit je.Tapi what made we enjoyed it so much ialah makan di rumah sambil tgk anak gembira so proud of himself sebab out of 14 animals on the poster,die dah kenal 10,good job son!Tak ada drama sedih macam mkn kat kedai hehe

Mee kari bersepah di sepahkan lagi dgn sambal sotong lebih nasi lemak breakfast.

Parut budak lucu

Hmm,we thought we have baby proofed the whole house.Furnitures with sharp edges are minimal and guarded,toys are the safest and what we consider as dangerous items for him are all out of his reach.Nevertheless,home can still be the biggest threat for the kids' safety.

Hero ni nangis 30 saat je,pastu sambung membuas balik.Hubby ckp haaa nak baby boy lagi?=p

Laksa Ikan Sekoq

One of the local foods we are picking up here besides gulai ikan termenung is Laksa Kedah.Pekasam ceq tak gemar.I had a different perception with Laksa Kedah before,sebab mula mula sampai A star ni terus pegi makan laksa teluk Kechai,Jln Kuala Kedah.Cairnya,tak rasa ikan pon,failed my taste bud.Pada saya mek kelate,laksa nie mesti kuah pekat dgn ikan,lemak2 gitu kan.Then we tried Laksa Kak Su kuala perlis,so nak mkn laksa kene gi K Perlis nun baru puas hati,tekak dan perut,tapi tue mmg sedap lah.Pastu we tried this,laksa ikan sekoq Jln Gangsa!And this gerai has been our fav since then!Kuah penuh ikan,pekat,lemak+ikan temenung sekoq hehe

So if you're happened to be in Alor Staq and looking out to try laksa,cuba sini.Forget about Laksa Teluk Kechai,unless you're into kuah laksa cair.Anyway,sini boleh tambah free okay,mkn 2 pinggan baru la puas hati!

Cuti Cuti Sabah part 6: Final day

hihi sampai part 6=p i've decided to write down everything worth sharing here sebab saya jugak plan this trip by referring to other blogs.

They said the peak of Kinabalu can be clearly seen before 9am,lepas tue most likely puncak die akan ditutup awan.Tapi subuh adalah sgt awal,545 dah sunrise,so after subuh join muhriz tido.Did i tell ya he is one late riser,risau dah we couldnot make it before 9am,tapi tgk2 kul 8 dah bgn,happy pulak tue,sebab semlm tido awal kot.So 3 beranak dgn tak mandinya keluar dgn gembira.

 ini view from our balcony at 550am

 naik buai seround

So pegi sini utk amik gambar.dekat dgn roundabout je,it's actually a bus stop tapi view kat sini mmg sgt cantik masyaAllah

 the majestic mountain

 jump baby!

 die pon nak lompat juga hehe

 

sayang ini budakkkk!

We'd decided not to proceed any further to Ranau,which is around 20km lagi dari Kundasang.Sebab hotspring hari tue dah pegi yg kat Ulu Legong,Tea Plantation some said sg palas lagi okay.So tinggal fish spa Tagal Sg Moroli,which i sorang je berminat sebab hubby penggeli hihi.So if you have time,sila panjangkan langkah ke Ranau juga.

After breakfast,we packed up and drove back to Kota Kinabalu.Arrived KK around 12pm,pusing waterfront seround,then headed straight to the terminal 2.stopped by a supermarket nak beli diapers Muhriz.Gosh dah setahun lebih dah tak beli disposable diapers sebab mmg pakaikan CD kan,tapi nie mmg nak berjalan,so terpaksa berdd,tak sukaaa!

Anyway,should you decided to bring back some frozen seafood,kat airport pon ada kedai jual.Kami tak bawa balik pon sebab sampai rumah nanti dah 10pm.MAS and AA allows their passengers to carry fresh or frozen seafood onboard,check in tak boleh.But you must pack them betul betul lah,letak dlm ice box tue then letak dlm kotak biasa selapis lagi.Paling best kalau flight ptg/tgh hari lah,boleh beli yg fresh kat pasar.Kalau tak,next to the wet market mmg ada frozen market tapi kami tak pergi but so i have no idea on the price whatsoever.

 Alhamdulillah,return trip pon ok,smooth and easy,muhriz siap berjoget dlm flight,jalan from one end to another,letih nak melayan hehe but it's okay asalkan he enjoyed the journey.So this concludes Sabah,sila la bercuti cuti di Sabah,there's so much to be seen!

Cuti Cuti Sabah part 5: Desa Cattle Dairy Farm

A must visit place if you're in Kundasang!Hihi rasa macam in a different country.Hubby kenapa lah tak pernah bawa saya gi dairy farm masa kat Deutschland dulu?6 years kat sana tak pernah tgk pon lembu Bayern,eh ker pernah?Anyway,never occured in my mind that our own country pon ada this kind of countryside,masyaAllah cantik sgt with Mount Kinabalu on the background,angin sejuk,lembu gemokk.Tapi muhriz tak sejuk,tak boleh dipakaikan sweater,nanti die marah suruh bukak.Tido mlm mama pakaikan socks kejap je,die terjaga die bukak,i know you were baked in Deutschland sayang,sejuk sket2 buat dekk je -__-

If you would like to see the milking process,visit this place from 3pm onward.Tapi bila semua lembu pakat beratur nak pump susu(hehe sounds familiar ibu2 menyusukan?;p) kat field mmg tak banyak lah.We left around 415pm,tapi still lembu2 dok beratur,yg dah siap pump melompat keriangan,macam kita lah!kalau breast engorged jadi restless ooo.Entrance fee is RM3/person.Fresh milk pon ada jual.1L for RM5 je,murah la sikit dari kat supermarket.

On the way to the farm.Kalau lucky even petang pon ada time boleh nampak the peak.

Here we are!

Cuti Cuti Sabah part 4: Kinabalu Park & Kundasang War Memorial

After masak breakfast & bekal, En Azli,the car owner sampai hantar kereta.Berlegar sana sini,dgn dudu mengamok sebab kene bgn awal hihi,10am baru bertolak.Since dah bace dan dgr org bercerita,jalan from Kota Kinabalu to Kinabalu park nie agak challenging,mmg dah prepare mental dan physical lah hahaha.Sebelum nie sebab nie lah saya tanak ke area highland nie,takot Muhriz cranky dlm kereta.Mmg selalu lalu jalan Grik-Baling,yg actually kurang sikit dahsyat je dari jalan to Kinabalu Park nie,tapi lalu awal pagi,die still tido.Tapi kan,kite plan je,tgk tgk Allah mmg permudahkan urusan kami,si kecik nie mmg tido all the way,lepas Teluk Likas to Pekan Nabalu die pengsan!On the way balik pon macam tue juga hehe.

So from KK,you'll pass by Likas,Tuaran,Tamparuli jalan ok lagi.After Tamparuli nie,please be prepare,mmg jalan mendaki,very few lorong melintas,sharp corners on steep slope and no to mention drivers yg melintas where they shouldnot have.So please be extra careful.Owh by the way,tak singgah pon Tamparuli Suspension Bridge,sebab kesayangan tgh lena kan.After 1hrs and 15 mins,we reached Pekan Nabalu.Along the road tue mmg view sgt breathtaking,the first moment i saw Mount Kinabalu,i was like,MasyaAllah.....it's so ginormous!Besar sgt!Tapi masa tue dah around 11am+,so peak die mmg covered by cloud lah but that's ok,esok pagi ada lagi.Byw,according to Garmin,this pekan nabalu is only 8km to Kinabalu Park.Ada menara utk view the scenery tapi dgn super active kiddo nie mmg tak berani naik weh.Sini baanyak jual souveniers,tapi kitorang beli fridge magnets je and some fruits,nanas die dapp,manis!Dah jalan pusing2 nasib dah biasa kalau tak sure nak termuntah,makan nenas adalah relieving,try lah hehee.

Since it was not even 12pm,nak check in pon macam over awal pulak.Kinabalu Park entrance is just 300m from our chalet,so we decided to check it out.Paid RM3/person at the gate and you need to drive 4.5km to reach the Timpohon Gate,this is the starting point for the hikers.Dlm tue mmg takde apa lah,resort die adalah but other than that,mmg takde ape,view mount kinabalu lagi cantik dari tempat lain tapi ada satu viewing area,kitorang singgah jer. bergusti struggle dgn anak nak ambil gambar =p

Boring jugak kat situ,actually tak pegi pon takpe kot =p.12pm decided pegi balik ke chalet,tgk2 room dah ready so had a break,230pm baru keluar balik to Desa Cattle Dairy Farm,this one deserve a special entry because i so love this place,gambar paling byk kat sini ahahaha.

 rattan swing at our chalet,suka la ini kenit

After Desa Cattle,we hurried to Kundasang War Memorial,senang je nak jumpa.If you're coming from Kinabalu Park,nanti akan sampai roundabout,dari situ dah nampak pekan Kundasang,take left exit,ada Alliance Bank,the memorial entrance is just next to it.Desa Cattle pulak on the same road juga tapi jalan je lagi few km nanti jumpa signboard.Sampai memorial dah hujan,dah la 430pm dah,masuk jugak la seround,fee is RM2/person.This memorial was built to honor 2300 British and Australian prisoners of war who died during the death march.Yes,only 6 survived the march and do you know how long they had to walk through the jungle,eating whatever they could find?Kalau tak silap dlm 200+km,from Ranau to Sandakan.It consists of 3 different gardens to represent 3 nationalities;English,Australia and Borneo(for the people of Borneo who help the POW).So kat sini bukan kubur,kubur diorang somewhere else,in Sandakan kot.

Keluar dari sini rasa lapar,teringat kak ila cakap ada chicken wings kat restaurant Hidayah,panas2 makan chicken wings best juga.My son makan bekal die lah,die nasi+telor dadar pon ok suka sgt.5pm dah rasa macam nak gelap,615pm dah maghrib huhu macam time winter lah pulak.Jadinya decide nak dinner after ishak(730pm) but little that we knew kedai sini tutup pukul 8mlm.So make sure kalau nak cari dinner keluar awal sikit,kitorang tu nasib baik kedai tue kesian kot,ambil jugak lah order.Lupa apa nama ke tue tapi depan masjid atas bukit tue ada 2 kedai halal,hidayah and this one.Balik dinner mmg pengsan terus so mmg lah balik chalet nak tido semata mata.Btw,at jresidence nie,not even tv1 dapat.But they provide you a few DVD player+DVDs,ada cartoon jugak.Tapi satu pon tak sempat tgk habis.

Cuti Cuti Sabah part 3: Manukan & Tamu Gaya

Destination/attractions: Tamu Gaya,Pulau Manukan

We started day 2 late.saja bagi chance kat Muhriz tido lama sebab semlm kene bgn awal dah.So mama sempat lah masak bekal utk bawak gi Manukan (nasi goreng,udang/sotong goreng tepung)dan juga masak dinner siap2 asam pedas ikan merah,telor dadar,udang goreng kunyit.1030am gerak to Tamu Gaya,ingat nak amik bus tapi bile keluar Centerpoint singgah sebab nak beli payung,la dekat jek dari situ,so jalan saje.Warning,this market is super packed with stalls and people.U can get almost everything here from local crafts product to even pets,yerp asik bunyi puppies jer,poor doggy!This Sunday market starts as early as 6am sampai noon,we reached there around 11am,pon masih ramai huhu.Dah la panas,so sudahnya mmg susah lah!Anak merengek nak dukung ketat2 and forbid parents from stopping at any stall.So we just passed through,tapi i mmg aim nak beli brooches kat sini dah,so berenti jugak la kat satu gerai jual brooches and other mutiara stuff nie,main hambik je.pricewise macam tak beza pon dgn pasar filipina or maybe i didnot bargain hard enough.tak kuasa la kan sebab nak cepat.

Lepas tamu gaya,walked further jumpa 7eleven,aa masuk sini beli air.Budak kecik mood ok semula kih kih mmg tak bulis panas langsung awak nie ye adik?From Tamu Gaya to Jesselton point pon tak jauh dah,dlm 3 blocks.Sampai je cari tickets.You should see lots of counters selling packages to the islands.tgk first 2 counters price die sama je for 1 island RM23 utk return trip.Then org counter no 5 approached us ckp diorang nye boat nak gerak dah,kasi cincai la RM15 je sorang pergi balik.So we ended up paying RM15x2(boat fees)+RM7.20x2(Jetty fee)+RM10(1 set of snorkelling mask+life jacket)+RM3x2(entrance to TAR marine park).Yg last one tue bayar kat pulau.Nanti ckp lah kat diorang what time you nak balik.Should you change your mind and wante to come back earlier or later kene call boatman.Naik speedboat was not something new,dah snorkelling di Perhentian,Redang(yg nie lagi lama naik boat for 45mins from mainland!).Manukan ni dekat je,boat ride took just 20mins but with an active toddler,i wished the island was nearer.Should have expect this sebab masa gi Langkawi pon die tak dok diam even 1 min dlm ferry tue,tapi itu ferry takpe lah.Tapi Allah permudahkan,kejap je cranky nye,tak sampai 5 mins die tertido.What was an unforgettable experience was riding the speedboat in rainstorm on the way back,cuak bangat kitorang.Muhriz nasib baik tido,muka basah2 kene hujan pon die still tido hehe.Tapi selamat sampai jetty alhamdulillah even basah lencun.Owh anyway,sila bawak bekal,kat island ade 1-2 je kedai makan and the food price almost double,biasa la tue kan.Di Jetty tue byk restaurant kalau tak masak sendiri pon.

Manukan has got what other beautiful tropical islands offer you;crystal clear water,white sandy beach dan ikan yg byk swim sampai ke betul2 tepi pantai,yg ikan dekat sgt dgn pantai ni takde kat Redang or Perhentian.Tapi sadly according to hubby(die sorang je pergi snorkelling),coral die was not that many and pretty,kalau ade pon byk dah mati.I think this is due to the close location to the mainland,itu yg ada kutip corals dan jual kat market!Spent 4 hours on the island,rase kejap je!Panas2 pon mandi jugak,sudahnya muhriz sekarang lagi tan dari mama hehe.So rasanya Redang is still the most beautiful island we've been to so far.I initially wanted to go to Sapi sebab was told that Sapi is the most beautiful with least visitors among all the 5 islands in Tmn Tun Abd Rahman marine park nie(Manukan,Gaya,Sapi,Mamutik,lagi satu lupa nama) tapiii Sapi ada biawak besar hahaha

Mlm pulak pegi Pasar Malam Kg Air,tambah few more brooches.sini mmg paling murah so far.lepas tue had supper kat Mc D,itu je la kot sekali makan kat luar huhu.Off to bed early sebab penat dan esok nak gi Kundasang pulak
