Valentines at Alrawsha Restaurant

Western restaurants in Ampang were packed with patrons on Valentines night. The obvious reason would be because the mat salleh take Vday seriously and plenty ofat salleh stay along jln ampang.. I saw Victoria Station packed with people and cars queuing up outside, causing a bit of traffic outside. Drove pass Souled Out and it was packed. The same went for Las Caretas and Brussels..

The last minute hunt for a restaurant was due to the fact that I was uncontactable by phone as my iphone switched off by itself without me realising. So, dinner booking at the 'secret' place (i still dunno where) was cancelled....

Hence, with all the hype that muslims were not allowed we celebrate vday and stuff, we ended up at Alrawsha Restaurant, near the Kampung Pandan roundabout. The place was massively big, that we need not worry about not getting a table.

Everthing to me there was enormous, from the dining hall to the food and you could also order a jug of
Orange juice for rm50. One cup cost rm10.

Food was
Good.

I did mention on a previous post about having a memorable vday restaurant to rave about for the next few years... This is it!

Unfortunately, they had this rotation schedule for their lamb mandy where its replenished/cooked every six hours... So, we were just a few minute late when they ran out of lamb. Fyi, this is a 24 hour restaurant.

Chicken was good. Rice was good. Service was good. They have longggg tables there too, perfect for birthday parties as its uber spacious. Loved it. Though not airconditioned, it was alright at night, but i was told it could get quite warm in the afternoon.

Awaiting the day to return there to feast on lamb.

Oh yea, you have to open the memu from left to right...

Kinafah

Tiba-tiba malam ini teringatkan suatu makanan yg sangat sedap .... huhu..rindu sangat nak makan ..tapi sure tak ada dijual di Malaysia...


 Kinafah.... sedapppp...
Alhamdulillah ....teringin sangat nak makan ni..tapi kalau nak kirim kak long bawa balik, mesti sampai Malaysia dah tak sedap... tahan ke nak bawa lebih 24 jam? ... kerana Kinafah ni kalau tak silap salah satu bahannya adalah susu (unta) dan cheese? ..

Menjejaki denai laluan para sahabah...Mu'adz Bin Jabal

Gambar yg saya letakkan semasa Wordless Wednesday #15 dan #16 adalah gambar di sekitar makam sahabah Mu'adz Bin Jabal. 
 Informasi mengenai sahabah Mu'adz Bin Jabal
Makam anak Mu'adz Bin Jabal

Ini adalah kali ke-2 saya ke sini...
ALhamdulillah Allah beri rezeki kpd saya dapat melawat makam sahabah ini sekali lagi.  Kali pertama saya ke sini pada tahun 2007 dan ada saya ceritakan di entri ini ... (klik di sini)

Rata-rata semua yang pernah belajar sejarah Islam pernah dengar dan mengetahui mengenai Mu'adz Bin Jabal.  Pada waktu Nabi Muhammad berhijrah ke Madinah, Muadz senantiasa berada bersama dengan Rasulullah sehingga ia dapat memahami Al-Qur'an dan syariat-syariat Islam dengan baik. Hal tersebut membuatnya di kemudian hari muncul sebagai seorang yang paling ahli tentang Al-Qur'an dari kalangan para sahabat.
 Ia adalah orang yang paling baik membaca Al-Qur'an serta paling memahami syariat-syariat Allah. 
Oleh sebab itulah Rasulullah memujinya dengan bersabda, "Yang kumaksud umatku yang paling alim tentang halal dan haram ialah Muaz bin Jabal." (HR. Tarmizi dan Ibnu Majah). Selain itu, Muaz merupakan salah satu dari enam orang yang mengumpulkan Al-Qur'an pada zaman Rasulullah.
 Itulah Hadis Rasulullah SAW yang tertulis di kain yang menutup makam tersebut...


dan sahabah ini juga termasuk di antara 10 orang sahabah yang dijamin menjadi ahli syurga...SUBHANALLAH

No one will ever know

 You can never have too many vases or luminaries. Creating your own  from materials on hand is both fun and cost effective.  You also get to have the pleasure of looking at it every day and knowing that you upcycled something.  Of course, accolades from your friends and family don't go astray either.

  Here are some of my personal favourite ideas collected from  Pinterest.    Happy creating.



 I would use these for their sculptural value and forget the greenery which looks forced.  Get various shapes and sizes of clear wine bottles.  Tape off or use adhesive stickers to create design.  Spray paint white and there you have it.  So easy and they would look very interesting massed together on a table top or mantle.


So, so easy!  Use elastic bands  to stretch around  around the clear cylinder vase .  Vary the position of the bands and make sure you have some overlapping, then spray paint. When the candles are lit the design is greatly enhanced. You can now buy battery powered candles which would work best in something this tall.


Check out the very detailed instructions for creating this tissue paper collaged vase.


 You may have seen this idea in Canadian House & Home.   Wait for a nice day where you can take your spray paint outside. Clean (remove any labels and adhesive)  and dry the bottles and then by pouring a dollop of paint into the bottle, gradually rotate/swirl the paint inside until the paint coats the entire interior. Some may need two coats. Dry on a damp or plastic dropsheet.  I think the colour you use will make or break this look.  I'm particularly fond of the sea glass green blues.
Update: Watch a video how-to by Stephanie White on House and Home's TV.


 Print your photo on Lazertran paper, making sure the image prints on the chalky eggshell side. Let dry for 30 minutes. Cut the image to size. Soak the printout facedown in a pan of water for about a minute. Peel off the backing and place the filmy printout onto a ceramic vase, smoothing out any air bubbles.



These look stunning and they are so, so easy to make using Krylon  Looking Glass Mirrorlike  Spray Paint. Clean out the vases/votive,  spray the interiors lightly with water and then with mirror paint. Turn upside down and let dry overnight.  Repeat the process if the first application looks too sheer. If you want to use them for flowers you have to inert a small glass inside to hold the water. Imagine the beautiful table centerpiece these would create using some with flowers and some with candles.



Ka Fei Dian, Festival City

Whenever I have a meal in Festival City (which is quite frequent), it was always either Octopus Sushi or Shih Lin Taiwan House. Sometimes too much of one thing can get a tad bit boring. Don't get me wrong, I have tried other restaurants in Festival City such as Daily Kopitiam, Pulau Ketam Steamboat and Sushi King(i should say the worse sushi ever!). Just that cravings for Octopus sushi and shih lin was more frequent :)

Today, I decided to try something new. Ka Fei Dian aka Kopitiam. Pretty good lunch set menus which comes with a choice of barley, cincau or ice lemon tea.

Recommends: nasi lemak kukus berempah- Absolutely divine. The sambal and chicken was really good.

Not recommended: fruit rojak- the sauce tasted weird; hainanese steamed chicken rice - Pappa Rich does it better!

I would definitely make a second trip to Ka Fei Dian. My mum craves for more of the nasi lemak kukus berempah:) Lunc set meal cost about rm9.50.
