Resepi Sihat: Senangin Block With Sydney Beans

Another healthy fish menu that I just created after I came back from work, today.
After Hari Raya Aidilfitri, I try to avoid any red meats.
I look for lean block of fishes, rather than choosing lamb shank, mutton chunks or chicken drumstick as my last Ramadhan daily routine.

The outcome was miserable, I gain 6 kilos as a result of consuming those red meats - within 1 month. This was my bad part of Ramadhan ending. Disaster!

* First Step, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil, saute 2 tablespoons chopped garlic, fry Senangin block for 20 minutes, using medium heat *

I'm quite lucky, easy to gain weight & easy to loose weight.
The only way to control is food intake. Busy people like me, hardly to visit gym. I give up jogging & cardio exercise, for I hate them.

* You can find this Sydney Beans in Salad section , Perishables (Fresh) department. It cost you RM5.90 per bowl, which you can consume 3-4 times *

You can eat it right away from the bowl, or... you can saute the Sydney Beans after you remove the Senangin fish block from the pan, using the same oil

* Saute 6 tablespoons of Sydney Beans, stir fry for 5 minutes, add in leeks or spring onion *

Never-ever add salt or MSG or any seasoning to this dish.
But, you can be a bit creative to make the meal tastier.

* Use French Dressing, this Tesco Finest French Dressing only priced at RM7.90, and 1 serving spoon Pre Balance Power from Biogreen, I purchased this at RM16.90 per can *

* Zoom in, this is how the powder looks like, 2 years ago it only costed me RM14.90 per tin*

* Sprinkle the Biogreen Pre Balance Powder on the top*

* Yippiey.... eat moderate amount of... hehe... portion wise *

* Take this as drinks, mineral water with citrus slices,
but remember not to squeeze any lemon or lime into the water,
it will become acidic, we want to derive alkaline water from this *

The wholesome health benefits,
the alkaline qualities that lemon and lime bring to plain water.
That drinking lemon water can be a source to promote good well-being.

Biasa minum jamu kocok?

Biasa masuk toko jamu?


Biasanya telur ayam yang di'claim' telur ayam kampung di kedai jamu (toko jamu)
dijual dengan harga 70 sen sebijik..

*Photo credits to CintaItuMisteri, actually ni seakan-akan gambaran dalam kedai jamu kocok*

So, berhati-hatilah ketika membeli telur ayam kampung di kedai jamu
kerana ada telur ayam kampung tiruan


Bagaimana?
Ianya telur ayam bandar yang gred C (Saiz S) yang telahpun direndam dengan cuka.
Kaedah yang biasa dilakukan ialah kain di celup dengan cuka dan digosok pada kulit
lantaran itu kulit bertukar jadi putih..
maksudnya telur yang di jual kat kedai jamu tu adalah telur ayam biasa
yang kulitnya di cuci dengan cuka..

**** **** ****
Now, kita layan pulak 2 photos yang saya enclose kat bawah ni.
At a 1st glance, what do you expect?
Mestilah you all fikir, "wow ...very convenient, kat supermarket pun senang nak dapat telur ayam kampung!"

'Humble Egg For Your Loved Ones',
so other than this should be called as"Arrogant Egg For Your Hated Ones"

Think twice, kenapa producer declare as "Telur Kampung" bukan "Telur Ayam Kampung" ?
Check it out!

Producer tak tipu pengguna.
Derang tak claim as Telur Ayam Kampung.
And believe me, that this 'Humble Egg For Your Loved Ones'
is relatively higher priced than ordinary egg.

According to my friend who was buyer for Eggs Department,
kadang-kadang ayam telur ada mengeluarkan telur 'reject'
dari segi sifat warnanya yang agak putih pucat.
Rather than this egg being transform into liquid form (Liquid Egg),
they packed this egg under label 'Telur Kampung'
since there is demand & good response from customers.
(Mesti customers yang beli ni lack of product knowledge)

*Ni gambar Telur Cecair @ Liquid Egg bagi sapa yang tak penah tengok*
Dihasilkan dari telur-telur yang terlampau besar
atau terlampau kecil atau yg reject dari segi warna.
Selain digunakan oleh industry perhotelan, bakery, restaurant,
ianya amatlah bersesuaian bagi mereka yang malas nak pecahkan kulit atau cengkerang telur.

This lovely pink-hued salmon can be served in a variety of ways.
I tak opt for salmon slices or salmon block yang mahal tu.
Cheaper option, I bought salmon head + salmon edge 'reja-reja' , which were heads, collars, bellies and bones. 1 set kat Jusco baru RM7.90
Healthy Recipe Resepi Gaya Hidup Sihat Sup Salmon Stew SALMON Soup

On to my favorite parts: the bellies and the collars.
These parts are quite possibly the best cuts on a salmon, as they are fattier and have a more interesting texture and flavor than straight-up fillets — and those fillets are themselves spectacular
Then, what you need is a balance meal, put some vege for fiber and other vitamin sources.

Put salmon cuts inside the stew pot (or stock pot) together with 6 cups of water.
Boil them for about 10 minutes.
Salmon fish could be quite fishy at times depending on the cooking method.

Put The Brakes On Fading Beauty Before It’s Too Late

Many of us are worrying about aging “gracefully” Why?, let’s face it, there’s simply nothing graceful about dull, paper thin, sagging skin, dark under-eye circles, smile lines, crow’s feet on your eye’s corner, forehead wrinkles - or any of the other effects time can have on our appearance. Some of us tend to camouflage these tell tale signs of aging.

The breakfast meals could be putting our on the fast-track to old age. A bowl of cornflakes, a slice of bread with butter…a spread of tuna in mayonnaise. A cup of coffee or tea. We probably start our day with at least one of these breakfast regime. These foods could very well be speeding up the aging process—and making us look older than we are. Cereals, dairy products, and beverages like coffee and tea actually contain compounds that break down this essential protective substance. Eat or drink any one of them first thing in the morning—when our body’s precious reserves are naturally at their lowest anyway—and we are inadvertently putting our body at an age-accelerating disadvantage.

Change the very course of aging inside our body. Let’s look better now than we did a decade ago. I have a friend, the one who can run to the grocery store in sweats, without a spec of makeup on, and somehow still looks fantastic. She still looks quite exactly the same as she did in her final year image. We can look young and vibrant by neutralizing two of the major causes of aging:

1. Free radicals
2. Buildup of toxin

Free radicals can lead to those crow’s feet that creep in around the corners of our eyes…those age spots that speckle your hands and face

Vitamin C plays a key role in producing collagen, which is responsible for keeping our skin firm and wrinkle-free. And vitamin E keeps our complexion soft and supple by helping our skin stay hydrated.

Environmental toxins can easily overshadow our youthful radiance. In fact, some experts believe that those dark under-eye circles that can add years to our appearance are directly related to the buildup of toxins in the body.

Rekindle our luminous glow.Think about a glass window, the soft golden light flickers and sparkles off of the pane of glass. After years of exposure to the elements, that glass can cloud over until we can barely make out the faint glimmering behind it.

Well, in much the same way, environmental toxins—things we are exposed to every day, like pesticides, pollution, preservatives and so on - can build up and conceal that glow we had in our 20s.

And, unfortunately, bringing our inner glow back to the surface isn’t quite as simple as washing our face. Unlike the dust and smudges that accumulate on the surface of a window, heavy metals, chemicals, and other toxins build up inside our body.

Back to beautiful—OVERNIGHT. When it comes to looking fresh and beautiful day after day, year after year, there’s one natural process that simply can’t be overlooked. Yet, it may be the most abandoned of all—a quality good night’s sleep. It might be the oldest beauty secret in the book.

When we wake up after a sound night’s sleep, we witness it from that first glimpse in the mirror in the morning…

• our skin has that peaches and cream radiance
• our eyes sparkle, and
• We look as refreshed and renewed as we feel

In fact, sleep is probably the simplest thing we can do to…Bring new vibrance to a dull, tired complexion

Difficult to sleep well? Warm milk gives us calming effect before fall asleep. Milk helps us get the restful sleep we need to renew every part of our body—inside and out. And that’s when our skin will really start to glow. It’s derived from a natural milk protein that contains a specific compound known to have relaxing properties.Milk helps relieve occasional sleeplessness by promoting relaxation and calming your mind.

We will experience – “No tossing and turning”… No long, late nights of worrying . No more waking up to a pale, pasty complexion or droopy bags under your eyes. Instead, we’ll feel the tension of the day gracefully fade away. As we thoughts mellow, we’ll find ourselves drifting off to sleep effortlessly.

And we’ll wake up looking gorgeous from the moment the sunlight touches our face each morning… With the sort of refreshed radiance other people have to fake with foundation, concealer, and blush.

Stay firm and flawless— without a facelift .Getting those stunning, youth-restoring results has to be accompanied by preserverences & self deciplines…

In Malaysia, commonly they group eggs according to AA, A, B, C, D, E dan F
AAA = Extra large / Jumbo Size G = Extra extra small.

Egg with Size L, XL, XXL laid by old chicken.
(Female chicken over a year old are known as hens)
The hens are typically housed in rows of battery cages.
Year-round egg production stresses the hens more than normal seasonal production.
It means the longer hens stay inside the cage, more hormones fed, more chemicals absorbed, more antibiotic taken.

Ouch... Nak Tiru Hana Tajima, Mampukah Aku?

Santekkknya Hana Tajima..
Yuna punya fashion designer tu...
Aku dah anak 3, mampukah aku?
Gigih kelmarin aku pi ukur Jalan Tuanku Abd Rahman cari Pashmina.
Dah beli, muka pulak belum seswai. Lom alter , kecikkan lemak lagi.

Dulu masa muda belia, aku sukalah pakai shawl.
Ni dah senja, angin pew ntah wat aku renung balik diriku lepas Raya 2011 yg menggemukkan.
Oh, alangkah out-of-date nya aku.



Nampaknya terpaksalah aku berkolaborasi dengan my younger sister
yang masih muda remaja try & error this style.

* Ni shawl yg aku baru beli kat Jusco 1 Utama,
I loike... tunggu muka aku kecik sikit leh lew fefeeling Hana Tajima *

Kalo takat nak pakai pi jenjalan aku berani lagi lah.
Kalo nak gaya pi opis... gulp... confident level still very low.

Sahaja Aku Mengangkat Noozle ...

5.30pm Caltex Kuala Krau 06.09.2011
Seorang aku baru angkat noozle sambil memakai tudung baru ber'awning' silk
(baru ngat beli pukul 1.20pm hari yang sama)
Seorang aku berbusana T-Shirt style Korea plain turquoise.
Berknitted pants Blue Black.
Berfoot geared kan wedges PVC glam-glossy look.

"Lima puluh dik," ujarku sambil menguntumkan senyuman santunku.
Baru RM3.45 aku isi datang sebuah Chilli Red Waja.
Mampir parking di belakang boot ketaku, enjin tak padam.
Menderu deram... hish!


Aku wat palm sign sambil 'blink-blink-kembang-kuncup' fingers ku, obor-obor style.

* tidak ku perbuat seperti tertera pada photo di atas. This is awesome!*

Irritating, annoying, hazabedah betul.
Geramnya aku,
apa kes nak tunggu belakang bontot kereta ku yang dah uzur sesangat neyh.
Pump kiri kanan masih ada yang vacant.

"Dik, tolong cakap sama keta kat belakang nih, jangan tunggu saya, suruh dia pegi sebelah, saya lambat lagi, lagi tiga puluh hengget"

"Boleh kasi cepat, macam ni kak"
Aishhh, tetiba pompuan tu takeover noozle dari aku, tekan pin noozle sampai top speed limit.


"Wooo, wooo, wooo... macam tu saya pun tahu. Saya nak pam minyak, nak dapat banyak, bukan nak pam masuk gas yang meruap"
Aku bukan makhluq yang kekwat sesungguhnya.
Tidak ku tekan pin noozle no1 kalo stesen dah sesak & high traffic bagai.
Aku pun considerate punya manusia.
Telah aku amati hanya aku satu vehicle jer kat situ, another 9 pumps free.

Aku wat donno jer pastu. Waja Merah Cili fed-up.
Pandai laks dia gi pump sebelah. Tank dia belah kanan.

Driver stay dalam keta. Pompuan pump attendant tolong pump, isi RM30.
Enjin tak dimatikan.
Tetiba dengar riuh rendah. Pergelutan berlaku.
Vrooooooooooms.

"Apa hal kecoh beb?" aku jengukkan leherku yang tak jinjang ke seblah

"Dia dah blah, tak sempat tutup tank, minyak masih bersembur.."
Pump attendent geleng-geleng kapla... di tangannya yang longlai
masih menggenggam sekuntum penutup tangki.

"Ini macam worang pun ada?"
