Guests for iftar

My SIL and her four kids came over for iftar tonight. I am aways enthused to cook whenever we have guests coming over for 'lil parties or mealtimes. Seronok sikit nak masak. On a daily basis, lauk for mealtimes at our home consists of 2 types only -- fish/meat and vege to cater for the two girls. And mommy will eat whatever menu picked by them. Tak seronok langsung kalau masak apa yang kita teringin, and end up makan lauk tu sorang-sorang. Tak best.

So, since SIL planned to come over, I got to cook something I like! Pikir punya pikir, I rasa teringin pulak nak makan sambal tumis udang petai and masak lomak pucuk paku with ikan kering talang. So, that's what I prepared. For Misha, it was lala masak sos and ayam masak kicap as requested. Also on the menu was anak mami Maira's must-have kari ikan bawal.

I had asked SIL if there was anything particular she or her kids wanted to eat, and daughter Fiqah said she wanted Maira & Misha's mudslide pie for dessert. So, the girls pun happily made some (nama je pie, but no need to bake ke apa, so easy as the recipe pun came out of a children's recipe book).

M&M's mudslide pie (melting away...)

And in the spirit of sharing what's on our iftar table :-D... here are pics of what we had tonight...

Fuuuuhhhh! I just had my sahur, but looking at the dishes, rasa lapar balik! Hehehe!

Your Kari Ikan Bawal and Masak Lemak Pucuk Ubi and Ikan Talang look heavenly. Not forgetting the Caramel Pudding & strawberries, too. Errrrr.... pendek kata semua look so yummy lah!

Muslide Pie tu, macam mana nak buat, ya?

D said...

I want! I want! ALL that! He he...

makkk ooiiiii... tergugat iman ku melihat lauk pauk mu.. paling tak tahan tgk mud slide pie.. nak kena try buat tuuuuuu...

MHB said...

iza -- hello, and salam perkenalan to you too!

jemput datang rumah lagi, ye? ;-)

MHB said...

wanshana -- mudslide pie tu senang sangat, it's child's play!!

all you need are some:

wafers (I used Munchy's Muzic chocolate wafers -- the big bag)

some melted butter

a tub of ice-cream (flavour of your choice)

ice-cream syrup (also your choice - you can try chocolate, strawberry or my fav butterscoth)

whipped cream

First you hancurkan the wafers in a ziploc bag. And then in a bowl mix it with some melted butter (not too much butter takut keras, just enough to make the wafers stick together). Then you press the wafers neatly on a pie dish to make the base. Leave it in the fridge for 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes, take it out and scoop the ice-cream over it to make a mountain. Leave it in the fridge again till it's time to eat.

Before serving, decorate with ice-cream sauce and whipped cream.

Dah jadi!! ;-)

MHB said...

d -- help yourself to the buffet spread... ;-)

next time you're back, it's makan at my place pulak, ek?

MrsNordin said...

Hi!

Oh wow... banyaknya makanan! You must be a good cook, huh?

Yesterday we all beli lauk from pasar ramadhan saja sebab tak sempat nak masak (dan malas). Punyalah tak sedap! Tonight kena masaklah. Your kari ikan bawal looks nyum! nyum! Tapi husband and kids kureng sikit ikan bawal ni, tapi I suka. Macamana tu?

Waterlily said...

MHB

I kat sini baru pukul 9.35pagi...bila tengok gambar2 ni...adoii!!! berkeroncong la perut ni!! That Masak Lemak Pucuk Ubi and Ikan Talang memang membuat lidah ku kecurrrr...!

And thanks for the Mudslide Pie's recipe..I baru jer nak tanya recipe.

Adeii...ada 9 jam lagi nak berbuka puasa..! Macam mana ni?!

MHB said...

mrsnordin -- hi there!!

Am not a good cook, biasa-biasa je... sekali-sekala masak meriah-meriah macam semalam bila orang datang rumah.

I have NEVER bought lauk kat Bazaar Ramadhan sebab takut tak sedap (tho setengah tu mmg nampak sungguh menyelerakan!!)... haa, malam ni you masak 2 jenis to cater for you and the other for hubby and kids... amacam?

Selamat memasak! ;-)

MHB said...

waterlily -- sabar, sabar cik kak oiii!! banyak-banyak bertenang... basahi lidahmu dengan zikrullah... dan jangan kecuri lidahmu dengan gambar makanan yang di post oleh blogger tak bertimbangrasa!! hahaha

btw, I made masak lemak pucuk paku, bukan pucuk ubi... but the latter pun sedap gak kan?!! ;-)

Madam Tai Tai Again said...

Hi MHB,

Wah..someone was busy in the kitchen yesterday! All your food look so sodap bonar-bonar.

Wish I was the guest...

MHB said...

MTT -- thanks for the compliments... I actually started cooking at 4pm and was done by 6pm.

Hey, you are always a guest at my 'home' ;-)

madame blossom said...

waah.. you're a season cook lah kira? InsyaAllah..aiming to be that. :)

best eh jadi guest kat rumah u..can request whatever we feel like having. :D

MHB said...

madame blossom -- nope, am not a season cook... betolll!! tapi bolehlah setakat masak for family and friends...

jemputlah datang rumah... yes, yu can request whatever you want, tapi kalau yang pelik2 tu kena sediakan recipe sekali!! ;-) (maklumlah, limited skills)

MrsNordin said...

I tried the mudslide pie yesterday. Tapi the base tu keras sangatlah. Susah betul nak potong! I think I put too much butter... will try again next time.

MHB said...

mrsnordin -- u tried it?? keras sangat eh... forgot to state to use the butter sparingly... just use 2 tablespoons. yeah, try again next time!! p/s: what ice-cream brand did you use?

Queen Of The House said...

Ramadhan kareem to you, sis.
Amboi sedapnya your iftar spread! I think my kids will love the mudslide pie ... looks easy enough for them to make too.

MHB said...

queen of the house -- Salam and Ramadhan Kareem to you too!! the mudslide pie memang easy sangat to make. The kids will love making it as much as they love eating it!! ;-)

MrsNordin said...

Entahlah, I think Wall's or Magnolia. I can't remember. Ada dua kotak ice cream in the fridge tu, I just mixed both. Satu vanilla flavor, satu lagi color rainbow (I don't know flavor apa..)

You are such a great cook MHB! ANd your kids are such good eaters! Mine? no curries, no chillies, no soups, no fish, gosh and I am left with nothing to cook. Your caramel looks so perfect, bet the taste was even better. Can share me the recipe tak. ANd if my eyes don't play tricks on me, your sofa looks exactly like the background of your blog!!!!! How cool is that?1? Like super duper cool k! with a capital C! he he he. Very beautiful house you have there MHB.

Selamat Hari Raya!

MHB said...

wizzy dear -- am not a great cook la... sumpah!! Misha IS a good eater but not Maira, that's why she's thin hehe.

You want the creme caramel recipe? Boleh... it's from White Wings laa!! Jangan tertipu!! You just need some fresh milk and a carton of the mixture and you're set!! And I must say I love the taste, better than any home-made creme caramels I've tasted.

My sofa tak sama with the blog background, but both prints are just the kind that I love!!

Dentist said...

Terliurnya!!!!...Dok kat Newcastle ni nak cari mana ikan talang ya....

MHB said...

Hello, sis! ntah la... kirim kat sesiapa boleh?? Selamat Hari Raya di perantauan to you!!
