Into the craze

Am currently into the craze of making felties... :) some pictures below... they are for sell :) head over to here to check them out :)

Pork-Frying

Attention!!! This particular post is not for my Muslim readers... coz this post certainly isnt halal at all... so the exit is at the top resembling a small x at the right hand top of the window...

Well, today... i decided to cook deep fried pork for dinner coz seriously i cant live without eating pork for a week. Put me in some country where pigs are considered 'sacred', i tell you, i will die from my fetish. Gah... a piggy girl loves her dose of piggies, doesnt she? Yes, yes i do. So ok... back to kitchen business. First of all, is marinating the pork belly... slicing the meat into big slices... marinate in a bowl... and wait for the juices to run... then coated with flour... AND LET THE FRYING BEGIN!!!

There were HELL LOTs of oil-jumping and popping and ouch-ing in the kitchen... and in the end...

The outcome:


A huge plate of fried pork belly meat... eaten with a home made sauce... omg... i want more... =__=


No pain no gain... i got burnt by a wildfire of hot oil jumping like crickets in the wok. =__= hurts a lot la... but then... what is there to complain about... haha...

SO yea... besides coating food with flour and tempura batter... what other ways can i use to prevent oil-jumping when frying stuff?

Still experimenting...

Hope my kitchen wont go up in flames...

Even if it did, you know where the problem lies in...

=___=

In Berberboo's mind: Babi oh babi!!! Oh Babi, where art thou???

Cheesecake Fetishoo~!!!

I cant help myself but i seem to have a VERY HUGEEEE FETISH for cheesecakes. And im not helping myself reduce weight, in fact im actually packing on more calories each day. And mummy is not contributing much either. She strictly wants our refrigerator to have a stock of cheesecakes on a weekly basis as a dessert. GAH...

So the cheesecakes are back on shelves in Secret Recipe after almost a month of absence. Mummy couldnt wait to lay her hands on them so she hurriedly hopped into my car right after i returned home from class yesterday and hence, headed to town for paradise.

Secret Recipe... shit... you are gonna open another branch in The Spring next year... WHYYY??? so near Swinburne some more... im gonna be so dead la... =_=


Cheeze Choc... very nice and creamy... chocolate on top, baked cheese on the bottom... aahhh


Chocolate cheese... extremely smooth and creamy and rich... i mean extremely... too rich for me but i guessed chocolate lovers will surely love it...


Blueberry Cheese... baked cheese topped with blueberries... this i have to say... doesnt tickle my tastebuds at all... the blueberry jam was overwhelming and the fresh cream didnt go well with the combination... preferred the ones from Southern Bakery though...


Caramel Cream Cheese... my favourite of the lot... the crunchy almond base... the caramel on top... EVERYTHING IS PERFECT... a must try this on... double thumbs up... =D


Marble Cheese... i gotta say i really love the oat base they used for this marvelous creation... simple... yet i am still craving for more... sighs... thumbs up


Got this brochure...


And it contains all the cakes the Secret Recipe in Kuching has. Omg omg... =_= *drools*

So far, ive tried 12/24... that is half of the cakes available at the outlet here... Ive gotta say some cakes were extremely good, some were overrated and some were just... LOUSY... haha...

My picks so far? Dont go near the Tiramisu... its horrible... however, the White Chocolate Macademia is extremely good and is a must... TRY IT... you'll love it... =D

12 down... 12 more to go... and extra 12 days of gym to go too... sighs... haha

In Berberboo's mind: Even though im so unhappy right now... eating is the only thing that makes me forget my sadness... sighs... bad habits...

Roller Coaster

First of all, this is NOT an advertorial post for Jack n Jill's Roller Coaster. They didnt pay me for it... and they are not gonna know about it anyways... Hahaks... And secondly, its not about the real roller coaster. Just a symbol. =D

Creative advertising as it seems, Jack n Jills products seem to carry some meaningful names. One of which is the Roller Coaster. I couldnt agree more that roller coasters do mean significant things in a human being's life. For example, life itself. Life is full of ups and downs. Its always rocky and hardly smooth. We can be happy and over cloud nine now, and then cry in the next ten minutes. We can be happily sipping hot coffee in a gigantic mug at this very moment but in the next 5 minutes, we are stiff on the floor, dead. Well, thats just life. Love is like a roller coaster too. Highly dangerous and fast pace. When you play with love, you get hurt, injured and physically and mentally disturbed. Love is fast pace because we can fall in and out of love with the same person or many persons easily.

However, im not here to brag about life or love because im no master of them. I just wanna show my fetish to Roller Coasters. Ive never been on a roller coaster ride before, but ive certainly had LOTS of Roller Coasters down my system. In fact, i have a fetish for them. =_=

The other day, i went to Choice Daily to look for this wonderful chips. I think i look really crazy then, coz the moment i saw the blue packets of chips... i JUST SCOOP THEM ALL UP WITH MY ARMS. YES... LIKE SWEEPING THEM INTO THE BASKET...=_= a man was staring at me bewildered. Gah, sorry dude... im very greedy and selfish when it comes to this. =X


Ahh... the sight of my heavenly chips.


Who couldnt resist you? *Drools* I love cheese flavour!!!

Gah... im gonna have the junkies problem if i dont quit eating them everytime a movie is aired on TV.

In Berberboo's mind : Im gonna see you again. So missing you right now. Sighs.

Im a happy Berber again =D

Been down a few days ago coz people cant stop poking into my business, so i was a bit pissed and annoyed with them. However... i recovered!!! Haha... thanks to someone who told me to eat what i like to eat and do what i like to do. So... =D

Well, my final exams result was out on Monday... and guess what... i passed all!!! YAY!!! But then, i wanted to get higher GPA then my previous finals... but even though i did get higher using the new point system, if i use the old point system to count it... i still get the same GPA... so... wasnt that pleased... sighs... but... IM HAPPY ENOUGH... all my darlings passed theirs too... so grats...

Been busy registering for my summer semester courses... well the 6 of us decided to stick together so we registered together for all classes... and and... i wanted to be the same class with Ha You and Ben Ben and Ah Hock this people... so i registered later... with high hopes that we could be in the same class... but then... even though i registered late and many classes were full, those people who registered just a day after... couldnt get into our class!!! COZ... ITS FULL TOO!!! NOOO... i wanna spent my summer with them... sad sad... but anyways... its a small place at Swine... so we can meet up anytime anywhere... =D Mish those dungus...

Treating myself lately with lots of food... i guess just now was a bit overdoing. Guess what i ate for lunch?

One bowl of pork porridge with egg - RM3
One large bowl of fishball soup - RM4
One pancake omelette with egg - RM3.50
Lok Lok - RM5
Barley water - RM1.30

And that is what went into my system... i swear i was so full the moment i went home, i just hibernated my afternoon away. Grr... extra gymmie tomorrow... =X

And and... I FINALLY GOT MY MATA CINA PENGUIN IVE ALWAYS WANTED TO GET!!! Been hunting all over Kuching for it. First, i found one in Sarawak Plaza... but then... it was hugeeee... and i dont think i can cope with another huge toy on my bed... plus... it costs a whooping RM263... so... i dont wanna waste my money le... so i continue the hunt for the penguin if not i have to settle with the hugey one. Went all over town... finally found a whole family in Hock Lee Centre. But then... for the size i wanted... only one left... and costs RM79.90... what to do... BUY IT NIA LA... hehe... its a treat for my good results xD then then... i wanted to get the couple one... but im not coupling with anyone... so guess it will bring back some memories so i didnt get it lo. Sighs... BUT IM HAPPY WITH MY MATA CINA!!! =D

I was thinking of 3 choices to do/get if my results were good. They are:

Straighten and cut and dye my hair --- might cost RM300+
Huge penguin --- RM263
Dresses!!! Few of them... --- RM 300+ also...

but... i decided to settle myself with my penguin... smaller and cheaper version. Hehe... gonna save the rest of my money on something else... =D

Before:


Now:


Patrick says hi to all!!! =D Notice the Mata Cina that i meant. =D

In Berberboo's mind: sighs... i just love plushies... anybody want me to post a blogpost about all the toys i have next time? You would be surprised... haha

Wednesday Madness...

I guess since ive been so down last week... ive gone mad this week. Yea, as in really gone mad. Aduh... you believe what i just said meh? NO LA... i dont go cuckoo over trivial matters la. I mean mad as in i laugh and laugh and laugh more to cover up my pains. So yea, you have your cheerful Berber back. This is gonna be an old rotten post, but heck... i will be murdered by June if i posted some of this pictures up... SO JUNIE... im only posting some okay? Not all arrr???

Mich met up with us at Cilipadi on Wednesday. She is back to stay for almost a month i think and will be off to Singapore during Raya. So... meeting up with her is sooo... old school. Haha... as usual la... talk about life and such. And she grows slimmer... even though she denies it flat flat. We introduced her to Chang De... and he was a bit... i dont know how to say... cold. Haha... maybe he doesnt like meeting new people? Oh wells, Chang arr... dont be like that, ok? So Mich wanted to meet Eric, obviously coz she asked me whether he is going or not bah. So... Eric goes then. Hehe... regretted about that man. Such a fun spoiler. OMG... i feel like strangling him sometimes. Haha. Oh wells, you cant change an old ass aka donkey of its ways. So... we went back to campus and sit at the cafeteria camwhoring... DUH... girls will always be girls... thats what we love to do. xD

Im hungry... i want my food *pouts*


Buh... take my photo... blehhhh... =P


Oh gee... so farking hot la... dang...

See no evil... speak no evil... hear no evil... BUT... we can think evilly la. No harm

Supposed to be a 1,2,3 pose... but Junie did 4 instead. Aduh... cannot count har? =P

And my favourite cam whored picture... xD Junie said i looked like an alien... coz my head looks freakingly huge. Haha... but... someone said my eyes were so round and cute and err... hehe... so im happy with it... haha... better than Junie's comment. Bleh =P

Well i guess being caught up with assignments and such denied me from blogging more words. So it might be more pictures if ive got the chance to blog about stuffs la. And... err... i have 4 tests coming next week... and i dont think i can survive it... haha... but i will... i promise...

And about guys... i dont know what to think anymore... everything is so confusing... so... i guess... leave it for now... if not its scary when im oh so depressed about guys that i actually became more hardworking... others got scared... so oh wells... xD

And MICHHH... maybe can go mam mam again... =D

In Berberboo's mind: You seem happier these days after what happened. Why is it so?

Happy 18th to Shawn!!!

Shawn turned 18 today, which means he is dead legal to do everything he wants, except buying ToTo and 4D and vote in the election. That, you gonna wait till you're 21. Sorry Shawn. =( Well, i know ive been lagging behind for this post, but i just wanna leave it till the grand day itself aye? If not, it spoils the atmosphere and the mood of the whole birthday thingy. Well, lets begin with... err... Wednesday. On Wednesday, the bunch of nothing-to-do hooligans whom one of this bunch decided to skip his EMA class, *ahem ahem* to attend the early birthday bash for Shawn. This is because well, we arent that free on Friday so plans postponed! Anyways... the bunch of us, Shawn, Fred, Chee Cheng, Siaw Yin, Ching Ho, Tung Ing, Winnie and I decided to celebrate this memorable day at none other than Causeway Bay Hong Kong Restaurant which is located at Crown Square. Nice place indeed. But too bad the lightings werent good enough to induce good photographs.

Upon arriving first, the brats in Ching Ho's car decided to do some little shopping around Crown Square awaiting the arrival of the second car, whom i was informed was out on an important errand. So off we went shopping for pirated DVDs', i saw extremely cute cute cuddlies which i darent myself to walk into the shop infear of spending money, and also saw clothes which were on sale, and damn nice looking. But oh wells, our stomachs were damn aching coz we were too hungry, so we decided to head down to the restaurant to wait for the second group. When the group arrived, lets order!!!

Ordered our food from the multiple series of menus, and then, we proceed to crapping our time away with lots of laughters and near to tears jokes and experiences. Then the food came. Hmm... let the pictures speak fro themselves. Im just too tired to type everything down coz ive just recovered from a massive series of vomitting. Pardon me. =(

The food :

Siaw Yin's and Ching Ho's food. They say it tasted too cheesy. Oh wells, you can never get too much of cheese. =D

Pei Yuan's. He said it was... err...

Yah... thats what he said... WRONG ORDER!!! Stupid stupid blur blur waitress. =.=

Oh baby!!! FRIED SOTONG!!! Ropa's favourite, MY favorite too!!! =D

Prawn Dumpling from the Dim Sum menu. Taste so good!!! =D I want more i want more!!! @.@

Drinks drinks. On my table only la.

And all these food... belongs to ME!!!!!! I FEEL SO PIG-NATED WHEN I EAT ALL THESE FOOD. =.= I feel like a babi. =.= Let me introduce them : clockwise from left to right - seaweed soup, fried sotong, mango puffs ( OMG THEY ARE SO GOOD), my two cups of drinks. FEEL SIAL OR NOT?

RANDOMNESS PHOTOS :

Camera shy birthday boy. Aiya, dont make him blush anymore okay? ^^

When he had enough... just talk to the hand. Ooops, take photo of the hand. =_=

She was pissed and blurred when we took this shot. Camwhoring is the pinnacle of annoyance to her.

CAMWHORE ADDICTS!!! Im a self proclaimed camwhore freak and this guy beside me is a camwhore... geek? LOL.

Thats Winnie. Tung Ing is on the left. Cut in half. Heheh. She looks blur hor? Hehehe.

Forwarded speed eating. The food was so wrong that he needed to gulp it all down in one go.

Legality breeds familiarity. The old man and the old baby. =D

Especially to Ropalin. Too bad you werent here. =P SIGH.

Siaw Yin with an overdose on food. Or maybe liquor? CHOI~~~

Happy happy Burfday to Shawn!!! HAPPY 18TH!!!

Old man confused between chocolate and fresh cream. Pity pity. =P

Well, we were so full and tired that we wanted to sleep in EMB class after that. Sigh. Catch no balls some more. =.= Thats it for the day. THE END!

Today...

Had party over at my house. Thanksgiving Party. So many people came. Couldnt cope well. Blur blur after vomitting 5 times before that. Well anyways, now everything is done. No worries.

In campus... all i got to say is... I LOVE YOU!!! =D

In Berberboo's mind : Eh, who wanna donate for my Jogerthon Card? ^^

Oysters

Oysters ~ a type of aphrodisiac food. Just like chocolates but they are more of an acquire taste. Not many people love the taste of oysters, especially raw coz it tastes like iron aka blood and we Asians really do not have the nick of eating raw food right? Even our steaks are well done, how do we expect to eat fresh oysters when we cant bare rare steak? So... back to oysters. Taken from the book Oyster by Rebecca Stott, ' Casanova is said to have eaten 50 raw oysters every morning with his mistress of the moment, in a bathtub designed for two. Whether oysters truly have exciting properties is open to debate, but like all seafoods, they contain high amounts of phosphorus and iodine, which are believed to be conducive to stamina '. Yea... see how wild Casanova is. So women, if your man has a nick for oysters, do watch him closely. You may never know what his daily activities consist of. Hmmm... I should suggest to Mr. Hor Ny Ang Moh to eat more oysters to help him with his daily 'exercise'. I bet he will be on top form if he consume more oysters. Well, at least it works better and more naturally rather than taking your daily dose of Viagra.

Well, today im not gonna talk all about the aphrodisiac qualities of oysters. Im just giving an intro. The main topic of the day is... EASY OYSTER RECIPES!!! ^^ Im a food lover, dont blame my hungry tummy. (Its croaking right now after a heavy work-out at the gym =.= )

Oysters... In Kuching, you can get them fresh at Choice Daily, Tabuan Laru during the shipping in of the stocks from Australia. It costs a whooping RM 42 for a dozen of fresh oysters. Well, its worth it if you're craving for fresh oysters all the time. If not, you can just get the frozen oysters in the freezers which cost like 1/5 of the fare you're getting from the freshies.

Easiest way to cook oysters is : Roasted Oysters!!!

Just get fresh live oysters... Salt and pepper to taste.

Brush the oysters clean. Then arrange them in a baking tray. Stuff them in the oven of around 230 C until the shell breaks open. Then sprinkle enough salt and pepper for taste. Remember to serve it with a seafood dipping sauce or Tabasco sauce. That does the trick. And dont forget some lemon wedges. No oyster is tasty without its lemon. =D

The second way to cook oysters is... Oyster Soup with Fresh & Smoked Oysters!!!

Ingredients : 16 fresh Oysters, and their liquid; 7 oz Smoked Oysters, well rinsed in cold water, gently patted dry; 6 slices Bacon, cut into thin strips; 1 large Onion, dice into fine pieces; 1 large Leek, white part only, sliced thin; 1 large Red Potato, peeled and diced into 1/2 inch cubes; 1 cup Whipping cream; 4 cup Milk; 1/2 cup bottled Clam Juice; 4 cups packed young Spinach Leaves; 1/2 tsp Salt; freshly ground White Pepper

Directions : Cook the bacon in a pot over medium high heat until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Add the onion and leek and cook until softened, about 4 minutes, stirring often. Add the potato, cream, milk and clam juice and bring to boil. Simmer, uncovered, until potato is just short of cooked, about 8 minutes. Add the spinach and fresh and smoked oysters. Cook just until fresh oysters are cooked, about 1 minute. Add additional clam juice if needed for consistency. Season with salt and white pepper to taste. Serve oyster soup in shallow serving bowls with fresh bread or toasted French Bread. Yummy!

Or the favorite way we Asians love them to be cooked... OH JIAN... or... err... how do you call them? Oyster Omelette? Yea... i guess thats right... OYSTER OMELETTE!!!

1 tablespoon each tapioca starch and rice flour; 2 ounces chicken stock; 3 eggs, beaten; 8-10 small oysters ( frozen is acceptable)

Mix all the ingredients except the oysters together. Heat up a big wok or non-stick wok and add in the oil. When oil is hot, pour in the mixture and after that, immediately drop the oysters on the egg mixture before it gets cooked. As gently as you can, flip the omelette over so that both sides can get cook. When its crisp, off flames and serve with a simple sauce made of fish sauce and pepper. That surely works like magic. =)

So, there you go... easy recipes for you to make at home. ^^ But for me, my favorite is still... FRESH OYSTERS WITH TABASCO AND LEMON!!! YUMMMMMM!!!

Ahhh... look at the freshness, the fleshy fleshy meat... the tangling aroma... ahhh... cant wait to get my hands on more... ^^

If there is any Oyster buffet happening somewhere around Kuching, do let me know okay? I wanna go!!! Or any restaurant that sells fresh Oysters... or yummy Oysters... or any how they cook it. =D I lurveeee oysters...

P.s. I love it not because of its aphrodisiac qualities lar... =.= No doubt give me good stamina for working out at the gym... xD

In Berberboo's mind : Oysters rawks my socks. ^^

Eye Candy ^^

Have you heard of Wu Chun? Or maybe his real life name is Goh Kiat Chun? No? Are you sure? Or have you been watching 8TV lately, at 7 pm everyday? Are you sure your answer is still a no? Okay, fine then. Just wanna say that im addicted to the Taiwanese drama shown at that time. 花樣少年少女 or also known as Hanazakarino Kimitachihe, the drama features not only the famous Ella of S.H.E. fame but also some members of the boyband Fahrenheit, Wu Chun and Jiro Wang. And to let you all know... that group is a definite eye candy. ^^ Look at them and you will feel at ease. xD Currently addicted to Wu Chun's look. Coz you know what mesmerized me a lot? Is the fact that he is from Brunei!!! C'mon, i never knew Bruneians have such hot hot people!!! Besides Paula Malai Ali, i barely heard of anyone. *Sigh*... *Double Sigh*... When will Malaysia catch up? *Triple sigh* Well, just let you guys feast on Wu Chun's pictures aye? It will definitely take your breath away. Trust me, coz my breath did left my body. ^^ But if it doesnt work, err... im not responsible. xD

I am using this as my desktop background. Till then, im loyal to this fetish of him. =) You cant deny his looks. Or his brains. Or his... nevermind... Enjoy.

In Berberboo's mind : I love eye candies. But are they good as your life partner? Answer this question before you make a choice in your life.
