Jom try buat ni - Eggy Asparagus

Salam ceria buat para readersku yang comei dan riang bagaikan riang-riang belaka? Ada yang sedang bercuti dan bergembira sambil menyanyikan lagu Jingle Bells? (*^▽^*)ノ”

Baiklah, entry pasal makanan datang lagiii... dengan menu kali ini: Eggy Asparagus, yang mana idea asalnya datang dari Nigella, dari siri rancangan masakannya yang berjudul: Nigella Bites 

My version of Eggy Asparagus (nama tu bikin sendiri jer) ^^

Kalau korang suka makan telur ayam lembik atau masak suku, aku rasa korang mesti suka dengan dish ini, tapi kalau korang tak suka makan sayur rebus atau asparagus, well, too bad... you're missing on something so good~ (。・ω・。)~

~Bahan-bahan~

telur ayam - 1 biji
asparagus hijau - 5 batang
minyak zaitun - 1 sudu teh
garam - 1 sudu teh
serbuk lada putih - secubit
air - 4 cawan (untuk merebus) + 4 cawan (untuk sejukkan)
ketulan ais - secukupnya

*Cara-cara:

1. Rebus asparagus: Masukkan air ke dalam periuk kecil dan panaskan air sehingga mendidih. Tuangkan satu sudu teh minyak zaitun ke dalam air yang sedang mendidih tu bersama satu sudu teh garam, dan kacaukan. Masukkan asparagus dan rebus selama lebih kurang 2 hingga 3 minit. 
2. Sediakan semangkuk air ais (slurry ice), keluarkan asparagus dari air yang mendidih tadi dan rendamkannya pula ke dalam air ais yang telah disediakan tadi. *Proses ini dipanggil blanching, yang mana aktiviti rapid-cooling ini akan membuatkan sayur rebus menjadi lebih rangup, sedap dan nampak ceria dengan warna asalnya.
3. Rebus telur ayam: Masukkan air ke dalam periuk kecil dan panaskan air sehingga mendidih. Masukkan sebiji telur ayam dan biarkan ia merebus selama 3 minit. Angkat dan masukkan telur ayam rebus itu ke dalam air ais untuk sejukkannya. Potong bahagian atas (1/3 dari atas) dengan pisau yang tajam secara berhati-hati. Dirikan telur ayam tersebut dengan bantuan apa-apa peralatan atau perkakas, dan taburkan secubit lada putih ke atas telur ayam.
4. Hidangkan seperti di dalam gambarajah di bawah. Eggy Asparagus untuk satu orang makan, siapppp~ ( ノ^ω^)ノ゚



Kalau suka cheese, boleh letakkan sedikit cheddar atau cream cheese~
Selamat mencuba okies? Oishii yo~ (Sedap tahu~)

Sodap dibakar, bakar pon sodap... guna dawai grill Jepun comei yang dibeli di Daiso (Japanese Shop), RM5 aje harga sekeping dawai grill ni... bakar di atas pasu bunga yang diisi arang, sabut kelapa yang kering, kayu dan kertas, kendian grill raksasa udang lipan (Mantis Shrimp) ni sambil dikipas-kipas macam bakar satey... seriously ini adalah cara grill paling sempoi bagi aku (tapi berasap sikit la, sapa yang tak tahan asap, pi main jauh-jauh), boleh juga grill macam-macam benda best yang lain seperti jagung, ayam, daging, ikan, cendawan, asparagus, dan lain-lain jenis makanan~ Tanoshikatta desu, to oishikatta mong~ (Menghiburkan, dan sedap tau~) XD

Personal Anime Review #6

Salam and konnichiwa minna-san~

Hai' haaai' tis anime review time again, and this time I'm gonna make short reviews on 10 selected animated films from Studio Ghibli Production. Studio Ghibli, lead by Hayao Miyazaki sensei, is a highly renowned Japanese animation production house, founded in 1985 by Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata, two of the best animation creators. For more info on Studio Ghibli, visit GhibliWorld.com ^^


Spirited Away
Info & download here
Genre: Action, Supernatural, Adventure, Fantasy, Horror, Magic, Romance, Mystery 
Creator: Hayao Miyazaki
Vintage: 2001
Type/length: animovie 

Personal rating: 9/10

* Awesome and memorable, to the extent where some of the scenes and sound may penetrate your dreams and subconsciousness. This award-winning, best picture masterpiece is the very reason that actually got me totally hooked with Studio Ghibli collection sometime in 2004, back when I was in my fourth semester doing my bachelor's degree :3


My Neighbor Totoro  
Info & download here
Genre: Adventure, Supernatural, Mystery 
Creator: Hayao Miyazaki
Vintage: 1988
Type/length: animovie 

Personal rating: 8.5/10

* Totoro, the famous catlike creature, has become the mascot of Studio Ghibli itself. Despite the cuteness, fluffy-ness, and charming environment  of this whole story, there is actually a 'dark side' of this folklore legend. One can choose not to believe the dark, gory and sad side of this story, just take the animovie as it is presented in Studio Ghibli. Minna bujide yokatta (everyone is safe, thank goodness) :3


Howl's Moving Castle
Info & download here
Genre: Adventure, Fantasy, Romance, Supernatural
Creator: Hayao Miyazaki
Vintage: 2004
Type/length: animovie 

Personal rating: 8.5/10 

* Howl's Moving Castle is based on a fantasy novel, written by British author Diana Wynne Jones, first published in 1986 by Greenwillow Books of New York. I still haven't gotten the chance to read the novel yet, but I think Studio Ghibli has splendidly animated this story into a superb masterpiece :D 


Princess Mononoke 
Info & download here
Genre: Fantasy, Supernatural, Romance 
Creator: Hayao Miyazaki
Vintage: 1997
Type/length: animovie 

Personal rating: 9/10

* One of my favorite Ghibli animovies, Mononoke Hime! The tenacious wolf princess goes all out protecting her wolf tribe and the sacred forest against industrialization and human greed. A very inspiring masterpiece, a must watch Ghibli film indeed~ :D


Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind
Info & download here
Genre: Adventure, Fantasy, Drama, Science Fiction 
Creator: Hayao Miyazaki
Vintage: 1984
Type/length: animovie 

Personal rating: 8.5/10

* Nausicaa is one of the earlier Ghibli films that got my respect. The theme is rather futuristic where pollution on the earth has gotten out of hand, and many oddly creatures exist in the highly affected areas where humankind used to roam. A must watch masterpiece, grab your popcorn and soft drinks peeps~ XD 


The Cat Returns 
Info & download here
Genre: Adventure, Fantasy, Supernatural, Mystery, Romance 
Creator: Hiroyuki Morita
Vintage: 2002
Type/length: animovie 

Personal rating: 8/10

* A charming Ghibli film for cat lovers, those who adore cats and Japanese animation, this animovie is made especially for you! If there is such a place as Cat Kingdom, I would very much like to pay a visit!! Nyaaa~ X3 


Only Yesterday 
Info & download here
Genre: Drama, Slice of Life, Romance 
Creator: Isao Takahata
Vintage: 1991
Type/length: animovie 

Personal rating: 8/10

* As expected of Isao Takahata, this film is more reality-based and rather close to the everyday life of most of us. How many of you still remember your silly yet innocent primary school days as if they were only yesterday? I bet most of us do, be it sad or happy. Watching this film made me feel like watching a very interesting documentary of the Japanese country life, where agriculture plays an important role in the development of a sustainable country. Watch it, you'll get what I mean ^^ 


Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea
Info & download here
Genre: Fantasy, Adventure, Supernatural, Romance 
Creator: Hayao Miyazaki
Vintage: 2008
Type/length: animovie 

Personal rating: 8/10

* A twist of The Little Mermaid, in a sense. It's a charming story of innocent puppy love and admiration of a little juvenile female fish towards a little boy by the sea. It's just overwhelmingly cute and charming, a pleasant story to watch with the whole family and friends :3


The Borrower Arrietty 
Info & download here
Genre: Adventure, Supernatural, Romance 
Creator: Hiromasa Yonebayashi
Vintage: 2010
Type/length: animovie 

Personal rating: 7.5/10

* Little people, literally. They're not thieves, they're "borrowers". They sneak into your kitchen in the middle of the dead night like mice, neatly "borrowing" some sugar cubes, spices, some flour, only in small amounts, so the house owners won't realize any changes occurring around the house. As expected of a Ghibli production, there is bound to be some sort of a romantic spark between the characters, even though it seems almost utterly impossible. 


Tales from EarthSea 
Info & download here
Genre: Adventure, Fantasy, Supernatural, Romance 
Creator: Goro Miyazaki 
Vintage: 2006
Type/length: animovie 

Personal rating: 8/10

* Yes, Hayao Miyazaki sensei has a son, Goro Miyazaki, to carry his awesome legacy, along with his other awesome crew members of Studio Ghibli. The starting of this animovie is somewhat filled with confusing mixed emotions, but as you continue watching this masterpiece, you'll be drawn to know the ending of this fantasy folklore with a Mayan + European middle-ages setting.   

Full list of Studio Ghibli's animovie collection HERE ^^
