Durian Isu / Isau from Sarawak

 I'm sure many of you have not seen these types of durian unless you are from the Borneo. There are few types of the untypical durian that I've found. The above red durian is a very rare species and the photo above is shared by a friend from Limbang, I hope she will bring some for me this coming week-end. The one below is deep bright orangy color known as Isu and some call it Isau. The taste is quite distinct from the typical durian but equally stench.

Another type of durian which has orangy vivid color is Ukak but the taste is not similar to either Isu or typical durian. You can see Ukak that I've posted last time here.

 See the color difference compared to the ordinary durian - such a deep vivid orange color. Wait for my next post to see what I create from Isu apart from eating them raw.....! Many thanks to Q for the two packs of durian below!

Play Dough for Liana

 I had some expired flour which I misplaced and forgotten about. Idea came through to make play dough to give Liana some excitement in the weekend. Indeed it was an exciting activities for the whole family with the two brothers and daddy joining the moulding activities to show their creativity.

 Liana and us had a lot of laugh every time something created especially the ones made by daddy.... (kind of hard to guess and Liana burst to laughter once she was told what that was!). Liana can guess 90% correctly what was created and the 10% mostly the ones from daddy..... Guess what daddy came up with..... one of them was i-pad (Liana's favourite toy)! Her eyes were wide opened and blinked a lot as she cannot guess but burst to excitement to know it was her favourite thing... LOL.

She also requested a lot of things and gave a challenge to the brothers to create for her.... dinosaur, monkey, snake, crocodiles, fish, birthday cake (this one was her favourite and she sang birthday song repeatedly for herself & pretend to blow the candles), buttons, apple, orange, elephants, flowers, many more.

some of the things created by the family.....

 Come and make play dough and give a lot of fun to your small kids whilst develop their creativity at the same time!

Batter Dispenser

 Showing off my new toy.... I've been eying this tool for so long - saw it at the kaya ball kiosk but have not found it sold until few days ago at the bakery shop. I was so lucky as only one unit available & straight away grabbed it without thinking. The price was RM85 but I paid only RM80.

It is very useful to dispense batter for making cup cakes, kaya ball or anything and therefore eliminate messy table top from spoon drips or having to use piping bag. Highly recommended and I think it worth the price considering how it helps a more efficient work and cleaner table top.

BAHASA MALAYSIA VERSION

Along nak share toy baru Along ni sebab dah lama Along cari baru ni terjumpa. Senang betul nak tuang adunan ke dlm acuan2 kecil tanpa comot2 tumpah. Tak payah lah nak guna sudu atau piping lagi selepas ni. Siap ada kaki utk letak, jadi takda lah kelam-kabut cam selalu tu.

Ni pula Along upload video untuk yg nak tengok camna dia berfungsi.
Showing below the video for those who requested to see how it functions.
