Good Monday and Happy Valentine's Day friends... So how is your Valentine getting on? Enjoying with your loved ones or busy with work? Hehehe.. Well, I don't celebrate this day coz everyday is like Valentines for me ( of course when my Hubby is around! hiksss.. ) But then I do appreciate this day, atleast people can show their love/ confess/ propose to the person they love. And rose price will hike too. Red roses, gorgeous! So, get into LOVE! FYI, my valentine will be returning home this Friday..Yeayyyy!  Okey back to the menu today, Roti Jala , or in other words Lacy or Net Crepes . A very famous Malaysian delicacy. We just loved it with chicken or mackerel curry. It's always one of our choice for dinner! To make the Roti Jala , you will need the special mould, a cup with 5 holes underneath. You can also use any ketchup plastic bottles to squeeze and swirl the lace. But there is one bottle which is quite famous among the Malaysian bloggers called Japanese May...

I decided to post some awards received from 2 blogmates today. Better do it now, otherwise I'll sure forget. Needless to say how forgetful I am actually... Before that, check out my Dulce De Leche . There are few ways to make this sweet caramel. I chose to boil unopened cans of sweetened condensed milk for 3 hours ! It's only 45 minutes if using pressure cooke r. The most important thing to remember while boiling the can is to make sure the water level in pot is always above the can. If you let the pot dry without water, an explosion sure to happen! I used a tall pot, so that I didn't need to add any water during that 3 hours. DULCE DE LECHE Boiling method :~ (I made 2 cans at one go) Fill a pot with water. Unwrap a can of sweetened condensed milk.  Place it lying down in the pot.  Cover the pot and start boiling under lowest heat, simmer for 3 hours. Remember you can do it in 45 minutes using a pressure cooker. ( Make sure the pot does not boil dry! Add water abo...
