Half price deal

If you're in Australia, have you heard numerous half price deal websites like Zoupon, Scoopon, Cudo? and if you're in Malaysia have you heard of MYDEAL.com.my?

These websites have one thing in common: that is they offer awesome deals, discounted prices for great food, drink, massages, beauty services, concerts..basically anything.
The deal needs minimum of 10 purchases, then only the deal will be ON. Your credit card will only be charge once the deal is on and finished. So far I've bought food deals at awesome prices!
I paid $18 (but zoupon only charged me $9 since it was my first purchase i think) for $45 worth of food! you only have to print out the voucher and show it to the shop. You can buy it as a gift too!

Yesterday's deal (there's still 2 hours before it ends) from Scoopon.com.au, just $9.95 for a Hoyts Adult movie ticket! Usual movie ticket is $17.50 (so expensive unless if you go on tuesday it's $11). I bought 4 tix ;)

So what you do is check the websites everyday for the daily deal. Mydeal has awesome deals too. might try it when i go back home. Now go browse ;)

Oreo Cheesecake

When I saw my friend Aimi made no bake cheesecake for her 1 year old baby birthday, I wanted to try too!
So I googled and found Philadelphia website. Easy recipe and I decided to make it with my hubby yesterday night.

This is the recipe copied from the website : Oreo Cheesecake

Ingredients:

• 1 cup cream, lightly whipped
• 1 cup crushed OREO Original Cookies
• 100g OREO Chocolate Crème Cookies, crushed
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice (i used vanilla essence instead)
  
• 3 teaspoons gelatine, dissolved in 1/4 cup boiling water
• 3/4 cup caster sugar
• 500g block PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
• 50g butter, melted
• 50g OREO Chocolate Crème Cookies, extra, roughly chopped

Method:

• Combine the crumbs and butter and press into a lined 20cm springform pan. Chill
• Beat the PHILADELPHIA and sugar with an electric mixer until smooth. Fold in the gelatine mixture, lemon juice, cream and OREO Chocolate Creme Cookie crumbs.
• Pour the filling into the prepared crust, refrigerate for 30 minutes. Sprinkle with extra OREOs and refrigerate for another for 2 hours or until set.

You have no excuse for not trying this. It's ok not to have a mixer, i beat the cream and sugar with hand, no problem. I didn't have gelatine in it but it's ok, just that gelatine set the cake.
Now, no reason for buying Secret Recipe's oreo cheesecake hehe

p/s: my not so good looking cake ;p

Unproductive week

It's been a few of unproductive weeks for me. Doing nothing but watching my drama series. Haven't gone out on weekdays, that's how lazy I am ;(

Been thinking to take up short courses. Sewing & baking perhaps. Maybe next year.
Now off to watch more series ;)

Stella McCartney for Target Australia 2010

Saw the ad for Stella McCartney for Target Collection on tv in stores 29 October. She had a collection with Target in 2007 & I managed to get 1 lovely pink blouse.

The 2007 collection was nice, lots of nice blouse.I still remember a lot of ppl waited from morning to buy, it was chaos. Who wouldn't want to get a piece of Stella McCartney for a fraction of the original price, right?

The 2010 collection is more to work clothes, jackets and tailored pants. Black and white, hermm. Looked at the website for her new range and it's quite pricey! Don't think I can afford to buy any clothes, perhaps just the accessories ;(

Here's the link to the website.

i love this bangle.

Festival Malaysia 2010 in Melbourne

Went to Festival Malaysia yesterday in Southbank and boy was it scorching hot!!
So what is Festival Malaysia? From its website "This festival aims to create an event for individuals interested in engaging with Malaysia and Malaysian themes through culture, art and music".
It's really for the Ozzies to get to know Malaysia better but there were more Malaysian students who came hehe.

There were a lot of programmes throughout the day like traditional dances, traditional music and multiracial music & dances. There were food stalls selling Malaysian food like, Satay..laksa sarawak, keropok and of course Durian (selling for $7.50 for a few pieces)! But the only reason I went was to see Harith Iskandar's live show hehe. His really funny!

Hans Isaac was there too but he didn't perform. There's another event happening in Melbourne, Australian Malaysian Festival Film at ACMI Cinemas from 2nd-6th Oct 2010. There are a few Malaysian movies like Rabun, Niyang Rapik and there was an acting workshop with Hans Isaac yesterday.

Here are some pictures taken despite the hot weather hehe.

Here is a short video of Harith's show, he talked about how Malaysians are. How we act in cinemas, how Malaysians drive and his marriage.

My MANY failed attempts!!

I've been watching a korean drama series called Kim Tak Goo, it's about bakery and it makes you feel like buying buns and actually making u wanna try making buns also! ehehe.
Since I'm too lazy to go out and buy buns, I decided to make Roti Canai. First attempt failed as the dough was still sticky eventhough i rested it overnight haha.

Second attempt was better but it was still a bit sticky and I couldn't form the dough into small balls. However I decided to give it a try and fry the roti. Shape wise was ugly but the taste i tell you sedap! haha
I didn't take any pictures since it wasn't pretty ;p

Then I tried making Caramel Pudding, a simple recipe but yet I failed! ;(
My pudding didn't set so it was watery, but the taste is yummy. I used the wrong tray hehe.

So today's challenge is to make Pengat Pisang. Hopefully it will turn out fine, fingers crossed!!!
