iftar di Ootoya

hahaha..tak abis2 entry pasal makan..dan jln2.
papa ada kat rumah, dia `resah` kalau tak buat apa. so kita ajak la dia kuar jalan! heee

15th Aug 2012
ada urusan sket aritu.
membeli stok daging n ayam dan brg2 halal di Tsunashima.kami plan nk buat mkn2 iftar di rumah pada malam hari raya.. sambil2 tu ajak juga kwn2 utk btakbir raya. (hee time ni konfem2 je kan kita ni raya ari ahad..!)

disebabkan dh lewat sgt, kami mcm tak sempat nk balik n bbuka di rumah.
so terus mcari tempat mkn utk alas perut.

ini hashi utk anak2 kecil..hm, mintak sudu garfu jugak. The Little Guy tak reti guna chopstick lagi..

Plate Papa

plate Ibu

his plate! tak lah..dia amik sikit je. ni pn plate papa. hahahaha.. The Little Guy makan nasi juga, ibu suap ngan ikan.byk dia mkn, sedap la tu. :)

family iftar di Minatoan

mcm biasa, entry backdated.

10th aug 2012
since Papa dh officially start cuti sempena musim panas (lab dia cuti seminggu.sampai raya + another 2 days) so dpt la luangkan masa bjlan2 dan merayau2 sekitar kawasan ni.. sblm ni mmg tunggu wiken je la.

Papa ckp dia nk iftar (buka puasa) soba. ibu pulak malas nk masak ..heee alasan je tu..

kami ke Minatoan lagi, utk mkn tendon dan soba. seronok sbb kedai ni pun dkt je ngan rumah. lps solat maghrib dan bbuka ala kadar di rumah, terus ke sini.

beria mcm lapar, padahal dia dh dinner kat rumah.. 

ni pegi Minatoan gak, tp hari lain. soba gergasi tu papa yg punya. ibu mkn tendon..

nak tunjuk gambar sekeliling kedai ni tp bila upload gmbr dari folder semua jadi menyenget. nk betulkan pn tak reti, sbb arini pakai laptop jepun Papa. confuse gara2 tak paham tulisan jawi nya. ngahahaha.. lain kali la update. dh rotate gmbr, upload, pun still senget. jawabnyaaa.... aku malas nk pikir. nnt la baru kita setelkan. nk tulis cpt2 sementara anak still tido ni. entry byk lagi ni. hoih rajinnya arini menulis! hehehe

p/s: if u notice.. gambar The Little Guy, yg atas stil rambut lebat.. kat bwh dah botak rambut nipis.
Papa potong kat rumah.. licin..senang sket tak bpeluh2 time summer ni. ;p

Iftar di Hamazushi ..because..

25th July 2012 - Wednesday.

satu tarikh yg mesti Ibu catatkan sebagai satu kejayaan buat kami. hehe.
of course, pada hari ini Papa telah bjaya lulus dan mendapatkan LESEN driving nya, setelah 3kali gagal. ^_^
Apatah lagi, di saat dia yg tgh bz dgn review jurnal nya. Ibu mati2 ingatkan dia dh tunda tarikh ujian nya kerana a few days before he said he want to..he was so resah with not having time to practise at all, and all the works need to be done in limited time.Dia risau gagal lagi (membazir la kan)..  He obviously under pressure. He leave early, as usual around 6.30am for school (at least that what Ibu thought).

around 11.am ++ I received his call. I asked, "dh sampai sekolah ke?" because he always called when he reached his school. then, Papa said, "kat sini lagi ni..".
"sini tu kat mana?"
"kat Futamatagawa.."
"oh..Papa pegi jugak amik test. I thot u ckp nk tunda. tak cakap pun ya..so macam mana?"
"dh lulus dahh.." he was so obviously legaaa and happy. i can imagined him smiling ears to ears.
"...." Ibu was temporarily speechless. haha. terkujat mak!
yaaaaayy~ tanpa sedar i was jumping.hahaha
"tahniah Papa. lets celebrate!"

so dipendekkan cerita, he promised once dh "berlesen" antara tempat pertama dia nk bwk kami - gi makan sushi .. tp since im expecting dah..janji tetap dituntut, cuma mkn apa yg bole aje lah.
so we have a light Iftar, and afterward went out for a feast dinner at Hamazushi. the nearest 100Y sushi with our residential. (tgh ada promo, cuma 90Y!)

our simple Iftaar for the day. ibu cuma buat agar2 lumut.. kari pn semalam punya. ;)

alhamdulillah, pakai phone GPS aje. good n reliable. dah sampaiii!!

 

si Boy yg seronok dpt tgk ikan~

si Papa yg seronok dpt makan. hehe

si Boy ni dh kenyang, tp nampak Ibu punya soba.. dia nk plak! (dia mmg suka soba)

gelagat budak kecik 1. hirup kuah soba..(yg ni tatau la tiru sapa)  2. cubaan nk makan ngan chopstick. ni tiru kami. kawaii.. ^_^

sekadar catatan tambahan:
1. mmg mcabar nk lulus lesen kat jepun ni. sekali test terus lulus mmg RARE.. normal 3-4-5 kali test,baru lulus. huhu
2. setiap kali test, kena bayar 7,000Y (RM280) lebih kurang. byk kan...huhu
3. nk cepat lulus, kena amik kelas (amik kelas kena bayar lain) kemudian amik test.. (itu petua yg org ckp la). kemudian, masa test kena relaks mcm dh biasa drive walaupun dlm hati neves tak ingat.
4. if dpt strict punya tester, lagi susah la nk lulus..

apapun, alhamdulillah syukur kami dh berlesen. bkn semata2 utk bersuka ria.tetapi dh lebih kepada keperluan (my perut dh makin besar...) moga digunakan juga ke arah yg mberi manfaat. :)

again, Tahniah Papa! u've done well. we are proud of u. xoxo

BF supplement dan breakfast sushi

salam hari rabu.

saje nk tayang my supplements utk bantu BF..since im relactation..still ade ups and downs.tak penah rase tertekan sgt sbb im SAHM. bole pulun berusaha ngan The Little Guy. cuma masalah kesan ubat yg penah amik sbb operation kt chest mmg memberi efek utk relaktasi.huhuhu

umi, if you read this...my alfalfa stock dah tinggal ciput. yg takde dlm gambar is ESP dan PD -performance drink. persediaan utk puasa ni...tunggu parcel sampai jepun.hee..
utk sape2 yg teringin nk tau lebih lanjut pasal all those supplement and their benefit bole refer blog umi my sister ni FTWM ..tp superb sbb fully bf all her kids ..and i meant it gals, superb...all 8 of them! ;) bravo bravo..

bekas ubat tu ibu guna utk segregate all the pill needed for a week. ibu ni kekadang lupa or leka.so dh letak dlm bekas camni senang nk monitor dh makan ke belum. ;)
tho ibu tak bole 100% bf tp tak ralat sbb im doing my best. the rest ibu serahkan padaNya utk tentukan byk mane rezki yg kami layak dpt. and altho ibu n papa tak belikan The Little Guy the best designer pants and shirts..we do try giving him the best for his mind and growth - mother's milk. and yes mmg kami berhabis utk proses bf ibu. terima kasih papa. you are my strength in this relactation journey..
sentiasa support watever it takes so ibu can bf his kid(s). hehe.
if keluar jln2 pn still dia encourage ibu utk jgn malu, bf je.. "abg tlg tgkkan".. means he will cover me while im nursing. kdg2 sambil berjalan pn ibu bole bf tau. tak caye?

in a full-packed yokohama subway station..punya laju depa ni jalan, gmbr pun jd blurry..

people thot i'm just carrying my sleeping boy! hehe
but that's at <7kg.. bole ler nk sling carrier.. now he weigh at 7.8kg...agak2 ler.currently surveying for another better carrier. aiming on Ergo Performance.. again, tq papa! (^_^)v

aaah..lately panjang plak ibu menulis. slalu more pics than words, kan? skali skala layan menaip time The Little Guy nap best gak.
utk breakfast pagi ni, jiran ade bagi roti burger. wah! dia dh berjaya buat roti burger la..siap penuh ngan bijan lagi.. ecece..kena buat gak ni. hehe.. tq! sedap mcm burger M*D lah..

siap plastic wrap..ade filet ayam goreng.sejibik macam twister kF* hehe..

utk bento papa, ibu buat kan futomaki sushi (tapi inti nya cuma tamago yaki + timun + mayonis) dan onigiri (inti nya ayam dan telur).
california roll tak buat, sbb tu kena guna bamboo mat utk roll, baru jadi. later la...

hmm..murah, bersih dan terjamin sedap. ekekeke...

bento papa.. yer, ibu tau onigiri nyer tak cun. (>_~)

belen.. utk my tummy. cicah kicap syouyu..zappp licin! hehe

ayam chunky tu ade byk lebih..nk buat oyakodon utk ibu lunch nnt. oyakodon = japanese chicken and egg rice bowl. cara2 bole tanya makcik youtube or refer kat sini.
japanese meal is waayyy too simple, i like.. lagipun bahan2 mudah dan senang didapati. dan lagi pun, its healthy and delicious.
jom la cuba!

okonomiyaki

okonomiyaki, or dikenali sbg japanese assorted pancake is quite famous here.. ikut suka kita nk letak ape ekceli. isi ikan, seafood, daging salai, egg, and the list is endless. tp selalunya org letak assorted seafood or bacon or daging keping ler..
berasal dari Osaka, resepi nya bole didapati (versi segera) utk di buat sendiri..
jom tgk cara kami buat.. ;)

ada 2 peket kt dlm tu..ni pakej utk org 1st timer mcm ibu.. hehe

tepung etc semua dh disukat, tunggu nk dibancuh aje.

arahan yg lengkap

tak susah ati pun if tak bole baca ape yg dia tulis.sbb jepun terkenal ngan instruction ber-ilustrasi-nya. memang mudah.hahaha.. ikut je..

rupa bahan2 sebelum digaul sebati

bahan2 agak mudah didapati..cuma since tak kenal rupa yamaimo (keladi gunung?) yg diparut utk menghasilkan sticky paste..so yg pek2 macam ni memang membantu. kira tak ler kecewa, konfem jadi.

satu lagi jenis, ni tepung semata2..bahan2 kena cari sendiri..

hasil yg pertama..agak tebal..lenkali buat lebih nipis, lebih sedap.

aritu dpt 2 keping besar (sebesar pinggan mkn)..so sorang dpt sekeping.kenyang! dgn letak daging ikan salai lagi..mmg full.alhamdulillah!
sos okonomiyaki semua tak halal, so terpaksa kreatif buat gravy sendiri guna resepi yg mcm2 ade kt internet ..
sapu sos gravy/bbq.. then mayonis, bonito flakes, and menda hijau yg dh lupa apenamanya.... hihi

sedap dimakan panas-panas ...wooo...

sedap..sedap..sedap....

entry Gyoza, untuk umi

salam...
hari ni NAF selsema..dari mlm tadi dia tak selesa, takle tido lena. kejap2 jaga nk nenen..
sementara tunggu pukul 2.30pm nk pegi klinik ..bole update janji entry utk umi yg nk resepi gyoza.
sini kena call dulu..walaupun utk check camtu, papa call and this morning klinik is full (the one nearby our house, dkt ngan eki hiyoshi...)...

resepi gyoza ni diceduk dari rancangan Cooking with the Dog..japanese yg di englishkan. hehe.. Dog tu sebagai penyeri sebelah tukang masak dia je..
kulit gyoza as mentioned earlier, takde yg halal (so far tak jumpa) ..sbb mostly mmg letak sake.so, ibu dah melayu-kan guna kulit popiah order from online stor..halal punya..

*inti*
200g isi ayam (minced) - ibu guna daging cincang je
100g isi udang (minced) - tak letak, sbb ayam cukup kot
1sdm daun kucai
kubis bulat secukup rase -jgn byk sgt.pandai2 ler..
2pcs shiitake mushroom
some garlic and ginger - blend halus *ni ibu tambah
2 sdm oyster sauce *ni ibu tambah
1 1/2 sdm kicap cair - ibu guna syouyu
1 1/4 sdk garam
1/4 sdk gula
1/2 sdk minyak bijan *tak letak pon
some lada sulah
1 sdt tepung jagung
minyak masak + sedikit air utk masak

*cara*
1. campur semua bahan inti. sayur2 semua kena cincang halus yer. .. perap in fridge about 30min
2. masuk 1 sudu inti tgh2 kulit, letak air sekeliling kulit dan kepil or kelim..tekan2 skit supaya konfem kulit tu lekat and tak terbuka
3. cara kelim bole cari kat youtube. search for 'how to make gyoza'.
4. utk masak: guna kuali leper, better non-stick.masuk 1 sdm minyak masak, susun gyoza tp jgn rapat sgt hingga terlalu penuh..
5. on high heat, biarkan bawah gyoza sedikit perang, then on low heat masuk kan sedikit air sekeliling (sedikit as a few sudu di sekitar kuali) then tutup kuali utk masak secara steaming.
6. 6-8 min steaming..
7. siap!! dip with preferred sauce.. kami makan bersama kicap cair + gula  yg dipanaskan..

note:
kulit popiah yg besar, lipat 4 dan gunting bulat utk 4 keping kulit gyoza.

Selamat mencuba.
bole refer rupa kt sini or sini
