Baked Chicken Tonight~!

I worked opening shift today and got to get home early. And so I took the opportunity to cook dinner. As for dinner, I decided to cook something light and healthy - baked chicken and vegetables. When I told one of my partners at work today, he, being a culinary grad, suggested that I baked it with Mirepoix to give the chicken better texture. He got me really inspired~! ^^

And so I prepared the Mirepoix - 60% onions, 20% carrots and 20% celeries. Chopped and laid a layer on the baking pan.

Chicken marinated with mixed herbs, soya sause, ground black pepper and olive oil. The chicken is added on top of the Mirepoix and set to baked under 220 degC for 15 minutes (turning after 8 minutes)

While waiting for the chicken to bake. I prepared the vegetables. Expecting the corn and potato to take longer time to cook, I boiled them first to get them half cook.

And the chicken almost done.

I added in the vegetables on top of the chicken and bake for another 8-10 minutes.

During the final baking, I prepared this gravy - instant ready mix :p

and *Ting~!*.... Chicken's done. Lay everything on a plate and ....... Dinner is served :)

I'm quite pleased with the outcome and family enjoyed it. To add on, no frying was involved and breast meat was used. Feels healthy. Hehehe. ^^

Scrapbooking Stores in Malaysia

Last updated 14th March 2014 I first did this research back in 2008. I was very surprised and excited to find scrapbooking and craft shops blooming in Malaysia. I'm still grateful that we Malaysians are able to have have access to buy these supplies today. I hope we will be able to get more and more brands into Malaysia. ^^ I don't mind sharing these info as I believe "Sharing is Caring" and I would love to see more Malaysian crafters coming out with lovely production to enhance our local crafting market. Also, I hope you all would pass on the information to other fellow beginners ^^ Anyways, this is a recent update I did of the shops I know/found. Don't think its complete though. Some are shops that I've personally found and visited while others are from research and some are recommended by friends or readers of my blog. And from my very own personal experience, some of my personal favourite shops (in no particular order) are as belo...

The Power of Positive Thinking

WARNING: This is a Looooooong Post :P I'm reading a book titled "The Power of Positive Thinking" by Norman Vincent Peale. Actually this is a book i bought on 20th July, 2002 and didn't finish it for some reasons that I don't remember. Then lately, out of the blue, I took it out to read it all over again, hopefully being able to finish it this time :P Neways, that's the history of the book and me. I'm at chapter 2 now and I came across a very unique practice of a man. It reads: It is possible, even in the midst of your daily work, to drive confident thoughts into consciousness. Let me tell you about one man who did so by the use of a unique method. One icy winter morning he called for me at a hotel in a Midwestern city to take me about thirty-five miles to another town to fill a lecture engagement. We got into his car and started off at a rather high rate of speed on the slippery road. He was going a little faster than I thought reasonable, and I reminded h...

Special Commemorative Cover of President Barack Obama

Got up early today to que for this - Special Commemorative Cover President Barack Obama’s Visit to Malaysia. President Obama will be the first president of the United States of America to visit Malaysia in nearly half a century (44 years) after President Lyndon Johnson’s visit in 1966. This edition is only limited to 25000 copies nationwide. Miri was only given 30 copies. Dad was the one who told me about this and drove me to buy it. We went out before 7am, had breakfast and bought some vegies/meat at the market while waiting for the post office to open at 8am. Enjoyed spending that time with Dad and I'm always touched when he drives me around to run errands. He helped to que too and in the end we managed to get two copies ^^ I stamped my planner too :p Isn't it lovely? hehe.
