Wedding organizer, nasi lemaks, chicken pies and Raya orders!

Phew! Wink, wink and it's already the fasting month of Ramadhan. How time flies!! And just when I thought I can get a breather, sit down and watch TV for the whole day, orders came pouring in each other day. Not that I'm complaining. :)

Since this year is like the wedding year with wedding invitations from friends in every single month, and usually I'll be the guest and enjoy the food. However, to be an organizer for a wedding is a totally different story. I was asked a favour by a close friend to become her wedding organizer a week before her wedding, and I agreed. Boy, it wasn't easy! Because she has been a good friend for years, I took it as a challenge. Hen's night, bridal shower, driving around to get stuffs, to call people and scold them when they became irritating, became the MC for the wedding night (and wasn't that great, I just said anything that came to mind), and the list goes on. 

I was also appointed to cater food for the kids during her beach wedding at Tanjung Jara, Dungun. And so I did - Mini chicken burgers, home made patty (not so mini because the buns were huge!), spaghetti and meatballs ala Ikea, fried potato wedges and chocolate cupcakes for dessert. Most of the cupcakes, the adults took them instead :P. It was kinda difficult to bring the food from KL to Terengganu and cook in a somehow not too friendly kitchen, but overall, it was great to hear that they enjoyed the food. Thanks to the Tanjung Jara kitchen crew, especially the chefs, for letting me use their kitchen. They were really generous. At the end of the day, it was all worth the experience and am happy for my newly wedded friends! Zephyr & Bjorn, may you have a great journey ahead and make lots and lots of babies ya! ;)

As for the food photos, I didn't manage to take the photos. I actually left my camera in


the homestay, of all days! At least the photographer did. I need to ask from him ASAP and post it here! :P

Other than the wedding, it was my mom's birthday as well on June 30th. Happy birthday, Mama! Sorry for the messy cheese cake!

There were also orders for an apple pie (9 inch dish) for RM40.00,

experimented chicken pie/tart ala Popina style - not covered on top and using pizza dough crust instead. I put in cream cheese into the filling so it wouldn't ooze out from the crust. It came out a bit weird, but it tasted alright. I guess it taste better with the normal crust, either a puff pastry or the classic flaky crust. Someone said it looks like cooked brains, how gross is he! :) It doesn't look like it, right? Anyways, after an hour on the table, there were only a couple of slices left. :)

and also made a couple batches of my first Mama carrie butter cookies, an old time favourite during raya. Don't seem to see much of them these days, so I decided to sell them for Raya this year. New cookies in the house!

Yawn! Oh, sorry. I think I need to sleep now and continue later. Haven't slept the whole night! Laters, peeps! 

Loves!
