1 Big Hug, 2 princesses and 3 musketeers

It's the end of the year and Christmas is over. Know what else is over? Halloween. Yeap. This is my Halloween post, after 2 months. Not that anyone wants to know *sobs* hashtag forever alone hahaha

 Doremi sitting awkwardly with my dad while waiting for Princess Late


I called to reserve the seat with the famous big teddy bear under the name LOO. So creative and cute right? Kyaaaa~!!!

Loveeee <3 we got the one with the female bear or as I call her, Mrs Teddy

Camwhoring while waiting for our burgers


At last the burgers are here!


My normal sized burger which I forgot the name of the burger and what's worst, I forgot what type of meat I had. Chicken, fish, beef, mutton. Idk

The 3 musketeers ordered the jumbo sized burger and boy, they struggled to finish it. I think

Atak had the chessy burger

And after a while, the world starts to spin. Your head and your stomach as well. Not that the food is bad because it was so good, but the portion is... well, too big for a tiny person like me.


Nom nom nom *Mr Grumpy feeling less grumpy when his stomach is all filled up with good food*

First he pushed her away, then he pulls her in and kiss her~ Lalallalalaa


The reason why there's less pictures of me. I have friends who can't take a decent, clear picture -__-




Awww see? Mr Teddy can make anyone smile, even teenage boys :)

Spamming pictures of doremi here because I can! 

 Here you can see that I tag one of them

 The next time I checked, he untagged himself already

Halloween 2013

If you were wondering how is this Halloween because there's no costumes and decorations, you're wrong! I just haven't show you yet! Hhahahaha here goes

You can clearly see the Halloween theme there, but it isn't the typical dark and scary kind of deco



If this scares you, just close your eyes HAHAHAHAHA

Spot the tiny Halloween deco? Can't see?

Tadahhhh!!!! Pumpkin : Can you see me now? Lololol

Thank god we were too busy camwhoring, or else other customers won't see this sweet little corner anymore

I did hash tag, but I didn't win. Hahahha oh well

We decided to come to Big Hug for Halloween because I saw that they have this promotion where the person with the best costume can win a burger of his/her choice. I have sort of a sailor/japanese student uniform kind of outfit but I was too shy to wear it out. *blush* And besides, if I did wear, I'll be the only one. So I shall keep it for next time.. when other people will wear a costume as well. P.S and only 1 customer wore a costume that day. Which looks kind of like a cosplay actually.


Not forgetting! I made a new friend that day, Eve who was a cat that day. Miaoooooo

Ginger cookie men

[NOTE] 
As you can tell, this post is meant to come out wayyy earlier i.e before Christmas and being me, everything got pushed back wtf


So, about 2 weeks ago, my very talented-in-baking aunt send a few photos to me. I don't know why, but if she intends to make me jealous then well, yes she succeeded. Because I love baking too! And making cute things! A bonus because this is edible. But then again, how do I eat such cute little things like these? I wasn't invited when they did this batch >< hahahah it's okay, I wasn't free anyway and this were for my cousin's assignment/project

Look at them! Laying down side by side <3 loveeeee

And then last Friday my little cousin send me this picture. I was like omaigoddd! New and improved version. Decorated with nice little hearts <3 I'm melting *not invited again but humphhh nvm, I was working

Last Sunday, my aunt jio-ed us out for lunch to eat wantan mee at a really famous place. Seriously famous because the food is THATTT good. We were there at 11.15 and we had to wait for a table. Yup. And most of the time all the food goes out by 1pm. Everything is homemade, from the broth to the noodles to the char siew to the wanton/wantan/dumplings and even to the dumplings' skin. This place is known to local Klang people as Wah Chai. I think it's the name of the grandfather or father of this food business. They operate under a shabby zinc-covered roof kind of place just opposite Maybank. Map from Foursquare says it's along Jalan Jambatan Kota. If you can't find it, blame the app. But judging from the line of hungry people, you wouldn't miss it. It's around RM7 per plate *comes with a bowl of soup with many delicious wantans

And after that scrumptious meal, we head to my aunt's house for baking session! Aunt said that she prepared a lot of dough so that we can have fun and make enough to feed the whole city. 

They put up their Christmas tree already! Super cute right? I think they got it from IKEA? I heard it glows in the dark too



Music note bell behind the tree so that you'll know if someone's coming from the other side. Super adorable right? Idk where they got it


Ootd while the rest takes a look and gush over the cookie cutter

This is the product of the previous batch they made. Doesn't this just spell kawaii?

Come lemme give you a hug

Cookie cutter and decorations! :D


Ginger cookie men aka gingerbread man recipe!

A
150g of butter (room temperature)
1 cup of brown sugar
1 egg

B
2 and a half cup of flour
4 teaspoons of ginger powder *you can add more if you like

Steps
1. Mix A with a mixer
2. Sieve B and then mix into A *if dough is too dry, put less flour
3. Refrigerate dough and then it's ready to be rolled out, cut out (by hand or using cookie cutters) and placed on baking paper and into the oven

[TIP]
When preparing cookie dough, use cling wrap to cover it and refrigerate for a few hours, or better yet, overnight so that it turns out crispy for that extra crunch!




Here's a unique design by Jess. Carefully cut, peeled and placed on the baking tray


Mah cousinssss!!! All concentrating hard to make perfect cookies!


[TIP] 
Dust your workstation and roller with flour so that the dough does not stick to them

All decorated/dolled up and ready to go into the oven for 15 to 20 minutes at 170°C
*time and temperature might vary depending on the thickness and size of your cookie and your oven*

Little cousin had some fun with icing sugar. He named every one of them. Ghost, skeleton, chicken pox, pirate and grumpy

[TIP]
Let the batch of cookies completely cool before putting icing on them. Or else the icing sugar will melt and... I don't really know what will happen, probably the design won't turn out well idk



Simple pirate by Lego

Lego and ghost. He was kind enough to let me have them :)

My favourite one! Simple and nice

Lucas. His shirt is cute right? Me likey


Jess!



Lucas and his elaborate pirate

Damn cool right? Omaigod this kid's imagination and creativity *thumbs up*


One of me and Jess

Jess and her Christmas tree!



Lucas : Went in like this

And this guy came out of the oven naked saying "Phew! It's so hot in there"


Me : Thinking "Awww so sweet, M stands for Michelle but turns out it stands for mum. Made by Lego

Look at all the Christmas trees! My beautifully cut out tree which was simply decorated by the little kids :'(


Lucas intended for them to sit but them cookies decided to bow instead

All hail the king

Left : Last piece of dough, that's why it's so ugly
Right : Lego was gonna make something with it and he gave up, turning it into a piece of... shapeless cookie

Dad, mum and kid under the star



Skeleton man performing a balancing act

Everyone got mad choosing snatching nice looking cookies to bring home

Cookies that I got to bring home!!!
