FootballBits: Seriously malaysians ultras?

Recently Singapore had won by 0-3 against Malaysia in AFF Suzuki cup group match. Singapore played well and i have to say malaysians players did their best too. Then malaysian ultras started to chant "Singapore itu anjing''-Singapore is a dog ('anjing' is usually used as a curse word among  malays.)I mean seriously?do you have to do that?especially that your team was defeated. You may think that I am biased towards Singapore as I'm a singaporean, but as a part of malay race, I feel quite ashamed. Its okay to have ultras, but try not to go to the very extreme.

Well anyway congrats Singapore for winning their first match. I'm happy that they have done their best








P/s:Well I'm still kinda sad for Real Madrid...maybe they were just unlucky....but I still love them!

FootballBits: Lose

Real Madrid lose..nothing to say...

DisasteRia: Apple Pie

Have to admit this is my second time making apple pie. But I changed the recipe and this recipe I took was from allrecipes.com. Have to say it sucks....You may think it looks okay from the picture above but I have to tell you..the taste was NASTY! It tasted like ummm plastic apple pie!really,it doesnt taste like apple pie at all!! The first apple pie I made was better, though it wasn't really fantastic like those restaurant-made. I actually wanted to find a new recipe for the pie crust and apple filling because the first one was not so great but it was edible,so i turned to allrecipes.com,and I regret it.Moral of the story: I wont ever get back to allrecipes.com again. People might say 'well i tried it,its not bad at all' well FOR YOU yeah.for me,its just...bad...:\

Start something simple

Should good food be simple?For me,yes.You can say i will always opt for short cut when comes to cooking or baking.Usually i will go to Youtube videos and try to find the simplest recipe available.What do I meant by saying simple?For me,its simply ingredients (no pun intended lol).

Getting the right ingredients are always the main part of cooking/baking.I always go 'UGHHHH!' when i see something that is hard to find.Once i saw and realized its hard to find,i will immediately say 'okay thats it!its hard''.Ok ok,you people might think i'm not really passion about food.In fact i am, but i wanna start slowly.SLOOOOOWWWWLLLLLYYYYYY geddit?Plus usually they will ask you to buy high quality ingredients in order to achieve the same exact taste but...I don't have really have much money to afford a lot of high quality ingredients T_T

And what about equipments? well you don't have to follow exactly what kind of equipments since there are some different types of equipment that have similar functions, for example if you have hand mixer,why would you spend $100-$500 on stand mixer when both is kinda the same?Well unless you have enough money to buy it of cos.Better save up that money and buy stuffs that you don't have for cooking right?

That doesn't mean i won't buy it,like i said,i want to start slowly.I want to buy stuffs i don't have first for cooking.If i have everything then i would invest on good stand up mixer which can make my life easier.

So if you say which is harder to find,ingredients or equipments, i would say ingredients.I'm sure some of you would disagree about this.But equipments here is soo easily available and you can find them cheap especially if you can find them at Daiso(omg i always in love with Daiso!<3)

So for all of you peeps who has passion about food but wanna start slowly like me,do find cheap yet functioning equipments. And as you move along, invest on good stuffs!And do try to make something simple at first and by gaining more experience on simple food,you can have better hands on cooking something more complex;) 

I'll end my post with this quote,its my own lame quote *ehem ehem hipster mode activated lololol*

If you know how to cook rice,then you able to to learn how to make fried rice.You wouldnt want to make a fried porridge would you?Start something simple;)-RiaRia

Doughnut day with Bff

Yep,after making those sushi, (this blog post) I went off to East Point to meet up with my bff. Oh my! like finally can meet her!yay!We decided to make doughnuts via her recipe(she had attended a doughnut class few days ago). At East Point there's a one stop shop for baking needs so we went to get our stuffs ready.

Me before getting off!

We already bought our stuffs there but have one missing item, cake flour,seriously?cake flour is soo common that they dont have it?oh well,then we went to fair price to buy it.hehe manage to steal a pict but there's nothing much -.-.that girl that wore red hijab is my bff

All items bought,straight to the kitchen girls!basically we went back to her home lah to cook.A bit tedious i have to say especially when mixing the dough until it has thin rubbery texture.Well at least she has standing electric mixer,but i don't if i were to do that,my hands would be tired and numb T_T

RiaCipes: Basic Sushi

The first time i tried sushi,i thought the rice is basi (expired) cos it has a bit of acidic taste (yeah yeah,probably you might think like ''duh!cos it has vinegar!-.-'' but i was very young then,pardon that).Well i still like it though.After getting used to its taste,i started to LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE~~~ it!YUM YUM!

So before meeting my awesomeness-random-coolest bff (hey mawar if you read this,i'm sure you will kembang hahaha!),i decide to make simple chicken mcnugget sushi roll. When i say chicken mcnugget,i do not meant as literally chicken nuggets,i meant it as very very simple.Yes we singaporeans sometimes say it like that.

For those sushi-lover newbies who don't know how to make sushi, there are a lot of youtube videos to see...NO!NO!I WAS JOKING ALRIGHT!YOU BETTER COME CONTINUE READ THIS BLOG! *pulls reader's hand*

Okay now i got your hands(and your eyes) tied up on this blog.Let's get started! \(^.^)/

Ingredients
-Warm cooked Japanese rice (i use 2 cups of it)
-2-3 tbsp of Rice vinegar
-1/2 tbsp sugar(optional)
-Roasted seaweed

That's the main ingredients for sushi! You can add any desired toppings. Since this post is about making simple chicken mcnugget sushi,i'm gonna add chicken mcnugget inside.You think im joking right?okaylah im joking *insert idiot face* .

Okay for the fillings,i'm gonna used canned tuna and shredded crabsticks with mayo.

Steps
-Mix sugar with rice vinegar. To melt and mix them evenly, place them in microwave for about 20 seconds. Sugar makes the vinegar more mild,and of cos you can add more sugar if its too acidic but don't put too much or else you would get sweet rice :S

-Add the mixture bit by bit in the rice, and use a big wooden or plastic spoon and slowly fold them. Taste the    rice until you're happy with the taste.

-Let the rice cool before you start to make sushi roll.


After the rice is cooled,now its the fun part...SUSHI ROCK & ROLL TIME!

You need a bamboo mat to do this. For singapore residences who don't know where to buy bamboo mat,you can find it at Daiso,where everything is at $2! For those not living in singapore,umm im not sure...but as cliche as it gets,ebay perhaps?

I wrapped the bamboo mat with a cling wrap so the bamboo will not get dirty.

Bamboo mat wrapped with a clingwrap

Usually if you buy a packet of seaweed,you will get this.

Cut them into half to get this

Place the seaweed with rough side facing up, add the rice on it and make a thin layer,make sure not too add too much or else it will hard for you to roll with the fillings. Do make a small gap at the bottom edge of the seaweed.

Then add the fillings, make sure not too add too much or too thin,as it can affect the shape of the sushi rice.

And you can start rolling!

Its a simple technique how to roll it.Gently pull the seaweed on the top edge of the mat.Then slowly fold them,once fold,gently press to firm up ,add water on the small gap of the seaweed to stick everything up,then fold and press it again.

And you will get this!

Cut them with a very sharp knife.Thickness as desired.And TAA DAAA!

I put them in my pink lunch box and off to meet my bff!And i got myself ready and off to meet my bff!YAY!
Here's a picture of me as a signing off!buhbye!
