Verses~

 'Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem',

Marilah kita mendengar ayat2 yang Liana amat sukakan untuk hari ini-

6:48 - Para rasul yang kami utus itu adalah untuk memberi khabar gembia dan membri peringatan. Barang siapa beriman dan mengadakan perbaikan, maka tidak ada rasa takut pada mereka dan mereka tidak bersedih hati.

6:51 - Peringatkanlah dengannya(Al Qur'an) itu orang yang takut akan dikumpulkan menghadap Tuhannya pada hari kiamat, tidak ada bagi mereka pelindung dan pemberi syafaat(pertolongan) selain Allah, agar mereka bertakwa.

Amin rabbiul al amin. (sorry kalau saya tersalah eja; sila betulkan saya.. syukran)

Para pembaca yang dihormati, silalah baca al qur'an dengan istiqamah. Hamba juga sedang mencuba sedaya upaya. =) jom, kita sama-sama baca ! ^_^

Al-Qur'an

Is the most beautiful book of all.






I used to read the qur'an everyday until I felt very busy that I have not read it for some time. I feel very guilty and I started reading it again last night. I would like to share with you all a few verse that I really enjoy and love due to the deep meaning it has.


Surah Al-An'am Ayat 15-18:


6:15 - Katakanlah (Muhammad), "Aku benar2 takut akan azab hari yang besar(hari kiamat), jika aku mendurhakai Tuhanku."


6:16 - Barang siapa dijauhkan dari azab atas dirinya pada hari itu, maka sungguh, Allah telah memberikan rahmat kepadanya. Dan itulah kemenangan yang nyata.


6:17 - Dan jika Allah menimpakan suatu bencana kepadamu, tidak ada yang dapat menghilangkannya selain Dia. Dan jika Dia mendatangkan kebaikan kepadamu, maka Dia Mahakuasa atas segala sesuatu.


6:18 - Dan Dialah yang berkuasa atas hamba2Nya. Dan Dia Mahabijaksana, Maha Mengetahui.


I am very touched by these verses and find it very meaningful. This is why I fell in love with Islam in the first place. I actually really feel the spiritual bond with Him; the bond that I have been searching all my life. I am so ever grateful to Allah for showing me His light and His glory. Amin.


Peace be unto all. =)

I LOVE Mua Chee very very much~



Typical Chinese snacks found at many night markets aka pasar malam. selalu menjadi rebutan orang ramai. here is a simple way to make this snack using the microwave! haha. 

Amy Beh's recipe:


Ingredients
    (A)::


  • 340g glutinous rice flour

  • 290ml to 310ml water
    (B):

  • 2 tbsp sugar

  • 3 to 4 tbsp pati santan
    Groundnut mixture (mix together):

  • 175g toasted peanuts, pounded

  • 250g granulated sugar

  • 4 tbsp cooked groundnut oil

    Method
    Mix (A) well and add in (B) gradually to form a smooth and soft dough. Make into thin pancakes and boil till light and puffy. Transfer to a bowl and mix in 4 tbsp cooked groundnut oil.


    Cut out Mua Chee pieces and coat with groundnut mixture. 

    OR



  • Ingredients:

    1 cup glutinous rice flour
    2 tsp sugar
    2 tbsp thick coconut milk
    1 tbsp cooking oil
    150 ml water
     2 tbsp fragrant oil(oil fried with shallots)

    Coating:

    1/2 cup of chopped toasted peanuts
    1/4 cup of fine granulated sugar
    1 tsp toasted sesame seeds
     or
     Chop or pound peanut brittles

    Method:

    Mix glutinous rice flour, sugar, coconut milk, oil and water in a microwable bowl and microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir well and cook on high for another minute. Stir well, it should be cooked but if you are having a lower wattage microwave you might have to cook another minute more.

    Add in the 2 tbsp of fragrant oil(cooking oil straight from the bottle will do - only no fragrance)

    Let the dough cool.

    Add the peanut, sesame seeds and sugar mixture to the dough and using an oiled scissor, snip into smaller pieces and coat well with peanuts. (if not serving the whole portion, remove a small piece enough to eat, and put into the coating, then snip from there. Remove the coated dough for serving and leave the coating for the rest of the dough). credits to Lily Ng

    OR 3rd recommended method:



    Ingredients:
    Dough:
    250 grams glutinous rice flour
    1 tablespoon vegetable oil
    2 tbsp water

    Topping:
    1 pack of toasted peanuts
    Sugar, to taste

    Directions:
    Mix dough with water and form into small pieces of dough.
    In a large pot heat water until briskly boiling, then put the dough in the boiling water. It will float when cooked.
    Scoop out the cooked dough and put it on a plate.
    Repeat until all the dough has been cooked.
    Use scissors to cut it into bite sized portions before mixing it well with the vege oil.

    Then, blend the peanuts into powder and add sugar to taste.
    Take the dough pieces and roll in the ground peanut powder.
    Continue rolling in peanut powder until all of the Muah Chee pieces are entirely coated with the peanut powder.
    Serve Muah Chee warm. 



    ENJOY !
