I like carrot like and wanted the make one, so i chose one of the recipe, which is from Imbi & Itchy which looks simple enough. Above are eggs, oil and sugar
unbaked
baked

cross section
it taste awful, oily, dense, and i tried a bit, keep in fridge from few days, then threw it away.
it is most probably due to the recipe not specifying amount specifically, and half way thru, saw the recipe didn’t specify the oven temperature, urgh, probably this recipe is not a complete one, and their is a comment saying the cake turn out awful and i am already half way making it… oh well, it is always fun to play and throw food sometimes 🙂

 

Grape Red hair colour

So i did highlighted my hair red, i wanted red and not knowing what red is the best, but also kinda want the reddest, the purest of all reds.
Did this in Kepong Metroprima APT for RM100, it is supposed to be RM80(stylist), RM100(???) and RM120(professional) depending the years of experience of person working on your head. Stylist has 2 years experience while professional has more than 5 years experience. I had to pay RM20 extra making it RM100 as the redder colours is not included in the Wella Koleston, and their suggested CID, also a Germany brand i suppose.
Wanted firey red, which is like your color pencil kinda red, but out of stock, and the hair stylist suggested grape red, so their it goes my hair. Grape red actually look bright purplish pink on the book, ewww, i afraid i look like some “lala” or worst punk… but trusted this stylist with well maintained kinda nicely coloured hair.
So my hair doesn’t look that red, it actually looks brown… ummm… anyway, i woke up today emoing  and missing my black hair, what have i done to myself, good things i only highlighted it, thus they are still blacks.
I wonder why everybody ask me to straighten/rebond my hair, seriously, i know my hair is thick, unruly etc but at the moment, i will still not consider rebonding and fully colour hair, as it is probably damaging to the scalp, and who knows what side effects of those harsh chemical… anyway, highlighting is not so bad, as the hair colour doesn’t comes in contact with the scalp, (see above) the colours didn’t start at the scalp *consoling myself*
Once this grows out, i will probably try the reddest of all, just one or two section, not too much. Actually also considered blue too, but it will need bleaching *wonder bleach touch the scalp or not*, just 1 or 2 small sections if it comes to it.

So i did celebrate Valentine’s. Wanted to go Daidomon, their RM68++ ala carte was so good, the big scallop, BBQ oyster etc etc etc, but it is fully booked for dinner, so i cooked. Above is Seafood Aglio Olio with shrimps and cuttlefish. It is actually better than i anticipated. Recipe taken from More than Words. With the addition of some dried chili and using normal salt instead of sea salt.
Fresh Egypt strawberry. Pretty cheap in carrefour, 250g box cost only RM4.99. They are huge and not sour too.
and haagen daz belgian chocolate ice cream, a time for some chocolate indulgence.
So there you go, last year was spent eating Pan Mee, the one in Jinjang, not that i am complaining as last year is a weekday and also i love Pan Mee, can eat it breakfast, dinner… quite against eating out during Valentine’s due to the crowd, and paying so much to get food churn out in bulk, in the name of love, just my thought.

This is instant porridge, just steep the dehyrated content in boiling hot water, wait for 2-3 minutes, and behold, a porridge that doesn’t look and taste instant at all.
I got this from Jusco supermarket at RM2.60, but you can also buy it from Tesco. Don’t think they selling it in other supermarket in Malaysia. Product of China – ZhuHai, claim not to have preservative, chemical colouring or flavor.
put out 2 pieces of dehyrated content into a bowl
it will soften, then just mix it throughly
they comes in 3 flavors:mushroom chicken, vegetarian and scallop egg. The other 2 flavors are forgettable, but you gotta try mushroom chicken
highly recommended
