Oh, steam saya!! :P

Semalam we all dah berjaya merembat sebijik Digital Tefal Steamer. Actually we've been eyeing this steamer for quite sometime.. [kunun sebab nak buat nasik dagang la, nak buat ikan kukus la]..hehe Actually its quite a good bargain, the price has been reduced from GBP60 to GBP24 for the xmas sale! dan lepas tebus guna voucher Argos sebanyak seploh pounds, kami just membayar GBP14 jer utk steamer nih! :D tenkiu lar kat inchik hasben yg bersusah payah mengangkut dan merembat steamer nih di pagi Aidil Adha yg lalu..hehe


Quality wise, its quite a good item. The steamer comes with digital touchpad and timer, with keep warm function. and it just needs a few minutes to boil the water and to start steaming..It is quite sturdy and compact. Ye lar, dah nama lagi Tefal kan.. hehehe memang puas hati jugak la, except its quite small for a big family - which i dont really mind, since there are only the 2 of us yg nak makan pon kat umah nih... but anyhow, i think i need to buy new mangkoks yg tahan panas dan kecik comel to fit in the steamer.. nak guna mangkoks yg ada cam tak konpiden jer, takut pecah/cracked plak nnti kang [dahla almost all pinggan mangkuk kat umah nih smua tuan umah yg punya] hehe.. kalo boleh nak la mangkoks yg presentable so that i dont need to transfer the food to another pinggan to serve.. [another good reason to shop Royal Doulton la kan.. hehehe :P]

So untuk testing capability steamer nih, harini we decide to cook nasik dagang! hehehe since today is still considered as raya, dan nasi dagang is considered as a must-have delicacy in Teganu during raya, tuh yg tetiba bersemangat berkobar2 utk wat nasik dagang! hehehe Actually my mom dah lama poskan rempah masakan utk gulai dan halba utk diletak dalam nasi dagang. dah dekat setahun jugakla rempah ratus tuh terperuk dalam almari..hehehe So berbekalkan semangat mengidam nasi dagang, nak testing steamer dan jugak nak test power memasak, tuh yg tetiba terajin pulak harini.. the results, more than good lar for a beginner! *wink*

nasik dagang dalam steamer. puas hati ngan steamer nih!!

marbeles- both nasik and steamer! :P

Cari ikan aya/tongkol tak jumpa la pulak. terpaksa opt for ikan kembung jer. sepatutnya nak kena rebus dulu ikan tuh sampai masak dan guna air rebusan utk buat gulai nih. kalau ikutkan my mom's recipe, nak kena rebus ikan tuh for 3-4hours, then biar overnite then keesokkannya baru buat gulai. dan gulai tuh pulak nak kena didihkan selama beberapa jam pulak lagi! tujuannya nak bg ikan tuh betul2 empuk-sampai tahap tulang ikan tuh lembut cam ikan sardin dlm tin tuh!! tp sebab malas punya pasal, me guna cara org malas lar,just buat gulai ikan, tapi guna rempah gulai nasik dagang..lagipon kalo merebus ikan kembung lama2 smpai 3-4jam, sure relai isi ikan tuh nanti!dahla ikan tuh mmg dah kecik, nnti sure tingal tulang jer kot!hehhe apa2 la, janji ada gulai! hehehe :P

so this is our dinner.. bolehlarr nak lepas gian.... :P and actually this is nasik dagang terengganu, bukan kelantan style (yg nasik kaler brown tuh). i just used beras basmati dicampur dengan sikit beras pulut dan distimkan jer,dan after sometime di'arong'/digaul panas2 dgn santan yg dah dimasak dgn halba+halia. dan next time, maybe nak kena cari kepala ikan salmon campak dlm gulai gak, sure lagi sedap..

p/s: tetiba terasa nak makan ikan stim ala nyonya lak..takpon nasik lemak kukus panas2 makan lak ngan paru bersambal dan sambal kerang dimakan di musim winter nih! perghh!!!!!!!!!!!

Budak skolah beraya aji kat skolah.

Arinih kira first time kena beraya kat kelas, ngan classmates. Setakat tak balik beraya or beraya di perantauan, dah tak heran dah.. Tapi kalinih beraya kat skolah. kira first experience lar..

Harini lak ada seminar sebelah pagi, dan petang lak ada klinik cam biasa. Actually memula asal tuh memang plan nak apply cuti/mintak day off daripada lecturer. Tapi semua org segan nak mintak, sebabnya harini prof 'besar' punya kelas.kiranya dia nih antara prof yg paling disegani dan paling direspek kat qmul, dan dia nih pernah jadi dekan dental qmul dulu (relevant tak?). rasanya kalau mintak off pun, kompom dia akan bagi (since 6 out of 7 are Muslims), tapi sebab segan punya pasal dan masing2 nak jaga nama baik sendiri dan we all takmo menampakkan yg muslims nih tak flexible, we all decided to celebrate raya at skool jer.. [bagus tak??:p]

Sejak we decided nak celebrate raya kat skool, my muslim classmates plan nak buat potluck party jer masa seminar tuh. so lepas duk brainstorming nak masak apa dan bahagi2kan tugas memasak, akhirnyer berjaya jugak ler jumpa menu special delicacy yg simple, sedap dan dgn anggaran mat2 saleh nih suka makan..

So malamtadi lepas seharian kat lab dan klinik sempat ler menggagahkan diri merebus nasik impit dan merendang. seb baik saki baki rendang liza'r ada lagi dlm fridge. so kerja teramat sangat mudah, dengan hanya memotong daging dan campak jer dalam kuali bersama2 dengan santan dan paste rendang tuh.. dan lepas kacau beberapa kali, terus bertukar menjadi rendang yg amat sedap dan authentic!!

proses merendang 2kilo daging.

buat nih sambil2 tgk tv jer, hasilnyer sungguh memberangsangkan! takyah guna blender, bawang, serai or whatsoever bahan2 lain.. hehe

seriously paste2 masakan dari liza's nih sedap giler, cam homemade food, dan sungguh mudah! paste nih kitorg borong masa balik mesia arituh, dia ada jual kat pasar TTDI. segala macam mak nenek paste masakan ada, semua sedap2! yg paling best sebab kat dalam paste nih memang siap sedia skali ngan daun2 kunyit lagi (kalo utk rendang) dan daun kesum dan bunga kantan lagi (kalo asam pedas)!memang teramat sesuai utk surirumah, wanita berkerjaya dan lelaki bujang yg ingin mengimpresskan tetamu dgn gaya masakan yg sedap dan versatile tetapi amat mudah utk dimasak! *sesapa plan nak dtg london/nak balik mesia pls inform, nak wat pesanan borong liza's paste!* ok kembali kepada cerita my rendang tadi... lepas settle merendang, dan calling2 ucap slmt raya aji kat parents on both sides, baru ler tido.. :P

secret recipe org pemalas-tapi-teringin-nak-makan-homemade-food.

Pepagi buta bangun sempat jugakla melepak sambil kolling2 parents lagi-saja nak perabih prepaid kad. My elder brother balik beraya kat teganu this time around (last time dia beraya kat spital-onkol- on the 1st and 2nd day raya, and back then my dad was still unwell. so everybody was not in the raya mood lar..) Kiranya kalinih meriah la sikit compared to last raya posa, at least ada anak dan cucu3 balik, siap dgn cucu baru lagi..

dan jugak the cute shaolin cucu! :P

Sebab kebuhsanan dan kelaparan, sempat jugakla masak mee kari utk hidangan kami2 berdua beraya. tuh pon plan last minit, kul 8.30pg terasa nak makan, by 9.30pg dah selamat menghirup kuah kari yg sodap! tenkiu kepada liza's paste! *makcik liza, tolong ler post kat sini sikit as commisions dan jugak utk tujuan promotion! :P* by 10 am, dah selamat ke skolah! :P

mee kari org pemalas jugak, siap within half an hour jer! :P

Lepas seminar, dlm lunchtime we all menjamu selera.. nasi impit, rendang, kuah kacang dan kuih apa ntah yg ala2 pegedil budak pakistan yg buat.. berselera giler diorg nih makan malaysian food.dgn prof2 skali berselera! hehehe my colleague pon suka bangat ngan rendang dan kuah kacang. siap ada yg hirup camtuh jer kuah kacang cam ala2 sup gitu! dan ada jugak yg makan rendang dengan kuah kacang (tanpa nasi impit)!!! tp td penat gakla nak explain camne nak buat nasi impit, dan camne nak make sure beras2 tuh terhimpit di antara satu sama lain..sebab diorg takleh nak imagine camne nak pressed kan nasik tuh! hehehe :P sebab duk bizi makan2 terus terlupa nak snap gambar! dan tenkiu jugak kat hikmah dan lini yg bersusah payah pack kan sate [spesel food utk malaysian studentjer nih] utk kitorg bwk balik!

sodap gak!

Okies. petang pulak ada klinik. Actually book sorg jer pt, dan treatment yg sungguh simple yg patut boleh siap dlm masa 15minit [kunun nak balik awal ler], tp still makan masa dekat 2jam nak siapkan.. sebabnya duk sibuk berDAKWAH! hahaha makcik minah saleh nih dah dkt 70thn, tp cam tak exposed sgt dgn Islam, tuh yg cam byk duk diskas dan explain pasal ajaran2 Islam kat dia. dia siap kagum2 lagi sbb org Islam berjaya posa sebulan!~actually dia baru tau yg muslims puasa 1bulan di bulan ramadhan, tuh pun lepas i cakap kat dia!!~

dan siap terkagum lagi dgn experience dia kat Brunei, dia ckp lebih kurang camnih: "i went to visit a spectacular building in Brunei with majestic pillars and gold dome. there was once a noise [azan] coming out from that spectacular building [mosque],when suddenly Muslim men parked their cars and left their jobs and ran towards the building [mosque], as if they were in a hurry, to listen to a speech and then pray [solat jumaat la kot]! it was an utterly great experience for me to watch something unique like that..and i was surprised to see how they took off their shoes and they seemed didn't have any trouble finding their shoes back again after the prayer!" :)) sebagai org Islam, tetiba terasa terharu dan bangga jugak la..dan baru i tau apa pandangan/view non muslims bila tengok muslims beramai2 berkumpul dan solat! dan banyak jugakla dia duk tnya soalan2 basic pasal Islam kat i, daripada naper org Islam takmakan bab*,naper tak minum alkohol, boleh ker Muslims masuk pub, naper takleh pegang anjing sampai la kpd solat etc etc..which made me think, dakwah Islam ternyata tak sampai ke seluruh bumi UK [not even to seluruh london] ni lagi!

By end of the day, balik umah kepenatan! :D

Cooking with the master sifu!!!!!!

Yipppiee! Yippee! Yippee!!

Ingat lagi tak kat my entry May this year? ala.. yg pasal we all duk excited giler2 sebab dapat jumpa sifu masak2 tuh? ala..time lagi seminggu nak exam tp excited giler2 sebab dapat bertemu muka dgn pakcik Jamie Oliver?

GORDON RAMSAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! wooohooo!! :))

okay, mind u.. this is Mr Ramsay, okay!! MR GORDON RAMSAY himself!! i repeat, GORDON RAMSAY, the celebrity chef!!! almost everyone yg ada tv kenal pakcik nih!! :P

Actually start signing session kul 12.30 tghari kat Selfridges. Kul 10pg dah kuar umah, dan sampai Bond Street station dlm kul 11pg. Since my partner's-in-crime awal2 lagi dah mention akan sampai lambat, being me (yg takmo tercongok kat Selfridges sensorang), sempat merewang ke Tie Rack kat depan tube station tuh dan sempat jugakla merembat beberapa helai tudungs! (don't blame me,me dah lama tak borong Tie Rack dan design baru dia sungguh memikat kalbu siap dgn special offer lagi,okay!) :P

Xmas deco@Selfridges!

Xmas spirit in the air..

Sesudah memborong Tie Rack, terus ke ground floor, beli buku.. Kali nih siap diberi wrist tag lagi - sesapa yg ada proof of purchase jer dapat tag, dan dapat queue! so takdeler kena tercongok lama sangat sementara nak tunggu kul 12.30.. sempat jugakla cuci2 mata kat 1st floor, masuk setiap boutique designer handbags yg ada dan start berangan2! hahaha err actually its not berangan, but more towards financial planning and motivations! :P


Kul 12 dah tercongok masuk q. Seb baik ada wrist tag, so takdeler kena q awal sangat. Dahler kali nih ramai lak yg dtg q. Kalau time Jamie Oliver dulu ramai minah2 saleh, tp kali nih lelaki2 pon ramai, siap pakai office attire/in suits lagi (gaya cam ciluk kuar dr kerja pon ada jugak!)..

with my partner's in crime! :P

Gordon Ramsay sampai tepat2 kul 12.30.. Actually harini dia nak promote latest book dia : World Kitchen. dan buku nih not bad jugak la, byk resepi dan quality wise, memang best dan bagus bangat!!

Inchik Ramsay nih peramah giler! seriously, tersangat peramah, compared to Incik Jamie Oliver. Rasa cam takleh nak relate lansung Gordon Ramsay yg i jumpa td dgn Ramsay yg dlm rancangan Hell's Kitchen yg duk slalu pekik marah2 dgn F-word tuh!!

dan si dia nih tinggi bangat! terasa diriku kerdil dan kiut lak bila berdiri depan dia (hahaha silala muntah!)..

one happy customer! bangga gak dapat gi amik sign sendiri!! tenkiu Mr Ramsay, eventhough bizi dgn rancangan tv, restoran2, bizi main masak2 tp still nak sign buku kitorg!! :P

another happy customer!

tp apapon dia sungguh sempoi, dgn t-shirt round necknya..

Recipes from the F word are not bad at all!

priceless collection! :P
(Inchik Ramsay siap double check spellings nama kitorg lagi tadi, dan cam bangga giler bila dia tgk dia punya spellings betul! cam klakar laks!).. it reads :
"to Wan & Marwan
Luv, Ramsay"
schweeettttt!!! ;-D

Naked chef dah, chef with F word pon sudah.. so 2 done and 2+1more to go!! Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, Heston Blumenthal dan Nigella Lawson! wish me luck!

All in all: its quite an experience for me. Maybe chance of a lifetime kot, utk berjumpa dgn Gordon Ramsay!! Definitely takkan dapat jumpa (even takdapat nak g dekat pun kot?) dgn dia kalau dia ke KL.. and don't think he will launch another book (and buat another signing session) next year.. kalau g restoran dia kat london ni pon, belum tentu dapat personally jumpa dia! dan SeRiOuSly takde perasaan menyesal lansung sebab cancel patient dan ponteng kelas harini utk berjumpa dgn Gordon Ramsay! Its worth it!! :P

p/s: sampai skrg still nyesal tak sudah sbb tak ikut Naza and the gang g amik sign Nigella last xmas! nyesal sbb being so skemot last time!! hahahaha lepas nih nak make sure takkan terlepas any signing sessions lagi dah! :P

The busiest week, ever!

This week is the busiest week ever! sejak dtg ke uk nih, minggu nih adalah minggu yg paling bizi skali (apart from exam week lar).. dan yippeee! Esok will be the last day of the busiest week! :)


One whole week ada implant course. (Oh ya, implant course nih ialah course utk ajar tanam gigi..). Course started at 9am, and ended only after 5++pm. Pepagi buta kul 8pg dah kena turun umah, petang lak kul 6.30 ptgbaru sampai umah-lepas campur tolak berebut naik tube, jalankaki etc.. Tuh pun depends pada nasib, pernah sekali habis discussions etc kul 6pm, then tube buat hal pulak on that day,so kena patah balik dan naik bus utk naik National Rail kat Limehouse, kul 7pm baru sampai umah! huhuhu

Dahla the whole day tuh, sendat padat giler2 punya kos. Lunch time dapat 30minit jer, tea for 10minutes dlm kul 10.30pg dan another 10minutes dlm kul 3.00ptg (tuh pon kalau bernasib baik). memang berkejar2an nak lunch etc (kalu kat mesia, time ada course la waktu plg syiok sbb leh makan free sbb sure ada supplier yg sponsor food, tp kat sini nak makan pon tak sempat!!hehe)

Actually course nih anjuran QMUL, dgn kerja sama Straumann (supplier utk brg2 implant la). Participants lak terdiri drp Specialist Registrars, budak2 MClinDent Prostho dan budak2 MClinDent Perio. Kira cam introduction kepada diorg punya sistem sambil ajar kami2 nih buat implant. Hands-on yg dibuat ni tersangat bagus dan dapatla digunakan kat klinik implant nnti. (at least takdela ternganga2 nak kena buat apa kat klinik Implant nnti!)

Tapi eventhough bizi kaw2 punya course, tp we happen to enjoy it so much! hahaha The reasons are (drum roll please.....) :

1. maybe sebab takyah stadi, takyah buat klinik dan takde seminar.
2. boleh datang dgn 'kepala kosong' sbb they don't expect us to know much bout implant. coz this is totally new to most of us. (implant memang takde dlm silibus undergrads dental, dan jarang tempat yg offer implant treatment) most of us takde experience lansung dlm implant2 nih.
3. lots lots and lots of hands-on.
4. Learn something which is totally new.
5. Well known speaker, dan diorg semua adalah amat best sekali. one of the speaker (Consultant with Bart's and the London) pernah conduct implant course kat mesia.
6. dapat sijil implant dr Straumann. (kot2la nak balik tanam gigi kat mesia, harap2 laku lar.... :p)
7. Hands-on implant course kalau kat Mesia, teramat sangatla mahal! rasanya kalau 1 week hands-on course camnih mau nya makan dekat RM3-4ribu kot?!

K.Imah and Kalli. Yang baju merah kat belakang tuh, my perio colleague Yu Hsiu, budak Taiwan.

Actually kitorg memang ada implant klinik pun 1 kali seminggu. Joint clinic with Perio people, budak2 perio akan buat surgical stage, budak2 prostho sambung kerja utk crowns, bridges or implant supported dentures. dan sebenarnya we all bebudak Prostho akan buat implant surgery jugak, tapi bila dah masuk 3rd year nanti.. ok la kan, at least ada training, drp takde lansung! :P

Dilla. layan gmbr my colleagues je la ek kalini.. muka i dah overexposed dah kat blog nih!hehe

But the worst thing for the course ialah harini:

Praktikal implant kat jaw binatang yg sebabkan H1N1, iaitu b*bi! hahahahha siap stand-by bawak sabun taharah, sinsing lengan tinggi2 to make sure tak tercemar baju, pakai white coat QMUL punya, so that takyah bwk balik umah basuh sendiri, disposable aprons, face shield, face mask, double/triple gloves dan segala macam benda yg boleh digunakan utk elak contamination dan mengurangkan perlunya proses samak!

Lepas semua precautions diambil, betulkan niat kerana nak belajo dan memang gamble buat jer.. alhamdulillah, everything went smoothly, dah benar2 yakin tidak tercemar lansung badan/tangan/baju...kalau ikutkan budak2 Arab nih lagi la selamba, diorg memang tak jaga lansung, cam relax jer dan even tak pakai white coat pon!!! tp for me,memang ada jugakla rasa mual, nak munt*h dan segala macam perasaan yg kureng menyenangkan.. rasanya i prefer buat dissection kat cadaver, daripada buat kat binatang oink-oink nih! hahaha (nasib la, dah blajo kat negeri org putih kan,terpaksalarr.. actually memang diorg bg options not to do it, dan my consultants siap apologized lagi sebab diorg dah terbeli binatang ni utk this yr punya course, sbbnya diorg lansung terlupa sentiment agama nih.. (sbbnya dahlama takde Muslims yg buat my course kat QMUL)

Nih kat Postgrad Skills Lab.

Yang dalam plastik tuh ialah rahang binatang yg sebabkan H1N1! hahahaha :P

okies, esok just conclusions dan discussions. no more hands-on. dan lusa: berjoli loli katak berjalan2 lagii!! yahoo!! hopefully cuaca Sabtu nih best la, dan tak hujan!! (since akan buat outdoor activities dan join rombongan cik kiah on Saturday!) Yippiee! Yippiee!! Tak sabo tunggu weekend!!

Emergency post..

Nih antara service National Health Service (NHS) yg paling berjasa dan bagus sekali, yg aku rasa KKM patut buat jugak. Kat skolah aku/ Bart's and the London Trust ada kemudahan helikopter ambulans, atau nama glamer dia London Air Ambulance. siap ada helipad lagi kat atas bumbung Royal London Hospital nih.

*sori bout kualiti gambar yg hampeh nih.. taken using my BB, from 4th Floor Lab, Dental Hospital. Helipad tuh terletak kat main building Royal London Hospital.

Actually nih antara Air Ambulance yg ada di London nih (maybe the only one kot?!), dan yg paling bagus, sebab ia nya adalah charity! maintenance, service dan kos ditanggung sebahagiannya oleh NHS, sumbangan orangramai, company dan yg terbesar ialah sumbangan Virgin (yg sponsor helikopter). Rasanya Air Ambulance ni started since 1990 lagi, dan last year pernah ada ura2 nak terminate service ni, sebab credit crunch. Emergency team utk heli nih terdiri daripada Medical Doctor (trained in Emergency Medicine), paramedics dan pilot.

pernah bg perkhidmatan masa emergency kat Piccadilly Circus. kalaula KKM ada kemudahan camni jugak, takyahla guna khidmat penerbangan ihsan TUDM.. hehe

di waktu malam/ helikopter deployed, tugas diambil alih oleh Rapid Response Unit, team yg sama, tapi bergerak guna kereta. kira as an adjunct kepada ambulans, dan boleh bergerak laju dan sampai cepat sket ke lokasi utk emergency treatment. Kiranya anything emergency akan dirawat dulu oleh Rapid Response Unit neh, seblom ambulans sampai ke lokasi..

Rapid Response Unit

Kereta nih cap Skoda.
** tgh keboringan sampai pepagi buta awal sgt kat skool,kiranya tgh takder keje la nih..hehehe

My newborn baby P..

Errk..hari nih dah berjaya dapatkan a new baby girl,her name is baby P. :)) and surely she will be my helper in the future kelak. Alhamdulillah.

So without further adue, just would like to introduce my newborn babygirl...


Full name: Prospero binti Kenwood
Jantina: Girl
DOB: 15 November 2009, at 3.30pm, in Barking.
No. Surat beranak: KM265.

My newborn baby, in her crib. she is so adorable and sturdy little gurl!

she has a marvellous body, and beautiful skin colour as well! we think she will fit nicely in our BTHO home nanti..

Tapi part yg paling best, sebab my baby nih pandai buat semua kerja dan tersangat 'bertenaga' dan powerful berbanding kawan2nya yg sekaum dan sejenis...

my baby as a mixer.
siap ada K beater, angled drive whisk dan dough hook. dan siap ada function electronic sensor lagi,so i dont have to worry bout changing her speed during mixing! dan siap ada splash cover jugak, on top of the stainless steel bowl tuh!

my baby as a blender.

my baby as a food processor, for slicing, grating and rasping.

and also as a juicer.

dan nanti2 kalau ada duit lebih, i ingat nak belikan accessories utk my little baby nih jugak. byk accessories utk baby gurl nih.. :) even accessories lama abang2 dan kakak2 dia jugak boleh dia pakai. bagus betul!! dan memang murah nak dapatkan baby nih kat uk, compared to malaysia,since memang asal usul baby nih dr UK pun...

ok, so layan video my baby in action.. errm.. actually this is her sis in action, same design except for body colour.~my baby has a more attractive skin tone! :P*wink*





I'm so happy to have u in our family!! :)) *beaming*

English tea!

Last Friday, bersempena Prof cancel kelas one whole day, kami2 para pelajar prostho QM kuar minum2 dan get together. actually dah laamaaa plan nak kuar minum2, sejak dr last year lagi.. haha last year semua plan tak kesampaian,kunun nak wat xmas dinner la, nak berpiknik time spring la,nak ajak diorg nih g makan2 malaysian food la, tp semua tak kesampaian.. maklumler we had been too busy with all the seminars and journals etc last year, even during weekend pon tak sempat nak bernapas (but seb baik still idup!) hehehe :P

dan alhamdulillah this yr berjaya jugak kuar beramai2 (eventho tak cukup korum, tp boleh laaa as starting point kan..), and thanks to Kalliroi's effort for organizing the outings. and thanks to Dr Parker jugak, sebab sporting bg pelepasan i kuar lab awal (i was suppose to finish up my preliminary study that day, but managed to kuar awal jugak!memula tu penat duk reka nk bg alasan apa, tp dr parker tak kisah pon..even tak tanya lansung aku nak kuar g mana! hehe) :-)

We just went for a cuppa tea. ok, mind u, this is not just normal tea in costa, gloria jean's, starbucks or whatsoever. actually we went for a fine dining english tea in Harrods! :P

me, wanie and hikmah. wanie was my classmate in ukm, and just joined us in QMUL last september. actually we did invite the 1st year students to join us as well, but only wanie turn up. tuh pon lepas i paksa2 datang!hehehe

Kalli, Dilla and her hubby, azman.

Actually there are 7 of us in the 2nd year, and 3 in the 1st year.. yg dtg hanyalah 6 org : 4+1+1 (4 second year, 1 from 1st year and dilla's hubby). yg lain, semua ada hal and a few were out of london..my inchik Marwan pon tak join, since he was not feeling quite well.

the servings: sandwiches, scones and cakes.
sandwiches: cheese sandwich sedap giler okeh! (we even asked them to change ham sandwiches to cheese sandwich.. sian kalli terpaksa join kitorg jd vegetarian dan takleh makan ham harituh..hehe)

scones: the best scones i've ever tasted! seriously sodap giler! tersangat rich and buttery... yummilicious!! dan kek pon sedap giler! rasanya i boleh ngap habiskan semua all layers kot! haha

They offer a huge range of teas. sampai terjuling jugakla bijik mata nak pilih tea mana yg sodap.. dan harga semua jenis tea tuh adalah sama..

Wanie and I ordered Harrods tea (mild and sweety tea), Victorian Rose tea (rose flavoured tea, sedap giler) for Dilla and Hikmah, and Darjeeling tea (pekat giler, yg konfirm boleh sembelit seminggu kalau berjaya habiskan 1 teapot tuh! hehe) for azman. and kalli, semestinya coffee for sure (dia nih memang hantu kopi!) ;) memula tuh masa order ingatkan dapat 1 cup jer, rupa2nya dapat 1 teapot seorang lagik!in the end, pakat pass around teapot tuh dan share2..as sharing is caring! :P hahaha

suasana romentik lak tuh, dgn life piano music in the background lagi! was thinking of dating with mister marwan one day kat sini nnti.. *wink*

We had a blast chit-chatting.. walopon fine dining, tp bila dah bergelak ketawa, terus lupa table manners!haha siap mat saleh sebelah menyebelah jeling menjeling lagi! in the end, siap kena 'halau' lagi sebab diorg dah nak tutup restoran (entah2 maybe sebab bising sgt kot?!) hehehe :P and it would be awsome if Suhayla, Ahmed and Hina joined us that evening!

...dan food habis licin!siap ada org tapau scones bawak balik lagi! :P hehehe

Eventhough it was quite pricey for a cup of tea, tp best giler, okeh!!!! (tp dah dikira murah untuk taraf fine dining@harrods..kalo makan kat Chillis/TGIF/hotel kat mesia pon tak murah jugak,kan! :P) ~I'm planning of celebrating our birthdays kat Harrods next year. siap ada org mainkan piano lagu birthday, life lagi tuh! memang superb dan high class, you! memang jaaauuhhh lagi best compared to celebrate besdey kat TGIF/Chillis! *dah jatuh chenta to Harrods fine dining!* :P

A totally new experience for me.. priceless! it is a must kat sesapa yg nak turun london! highly recommended!! To QM postgrad prostho-lians: we should do this more often!

and the next trip: maybe malaysian food xmas dinner pulak kot. tgh duk survey2 restoran malaysia yg best kat london. kalinih maybe pegi ngan lecturers jugak, as my course coordinator teramat sangatla suka malaysian food,esp char kuey teow! (semustinya dia tatau nak sebut CKT! flat spicy noodles with mussels-thats the way he described it) Kalli pulak suka makan nasik daun pisang, dan Suhayla suka makan bihun goreng (actually i pernah bwk bihun goreng masa seminar party last year,terus dia jatuh chenta!) :)
