Attempted it today and it turned out just fine. :-)

Of course, I had my team of food testers at home which consists of my mom, dad, sister and our 2 pet dogs.

So far:

i. I got the OK nod from dad, which means the cake’s good. Haha!
ii. No response from my sis, but she had a few helpings of this cake in the past 20 minutes. LOL
iii. Mom haven’t tried it yet, she’s quite busy with stuff for tomorrow’s rosary prayer at home.
iv. BonBon (the kampung dog) definitely loves it and wants some more!
v. Girly, our eldest pet, kind of love the cake. She prefers the chocolate toppings more.

The verdict: I think I did a great job on this one. *teehee*

Time to share this cake with the neighbor next door. And oh, if you’d like the recipe of this chocolate cake, you can find it here. (Bake it, steam it, you can do both ways)

Have a blessed day, everyone!

Is it like the dog’s mating season now? Coz our neighbor’s dog couldn’t stop humping the other female dog. (I had to resist myself from using the B word. Ha! Ha!) It’s irritating, I tell you. And disturbing too. For like every hour or so, we could hear the female dog making this weird noise like she’s “crying” while the male dog was shoving his stuff into her. Even my mom couldn’t stand the cries. “MENGGINTAK JAK KAMU!!!” (Sorry, only Sabahan people would know what “Gintak” means. Next time la I explain, ok?)

And to make things worse, these dogs love doing their stuff at our backyard - we happened to have this huge window at our dining room, facing the backyard!!! -_-”

We have dogs of our own too, but we kept them locked inside the house. Mom didn’t want Girly to mate with the other fugly dogs. Besides, my parents are not ready to be grandparents yet. Ha!

Here’s a picture I took of Girly not too long ago.

All sad and frustrated. LOL

How about the dogs in your area? Any mating session going on? :þ

Small Talk: I’m dreaming of Oscar de la Renta for Christmas..

Hi people! Sorry for the lack of updates. (I know, I’ve been apologizing a lot lately - but I mean it, honestly!) I managed to finish my new layout today. What do you think? It’s a bit more “lively” than the previous one, no? But anyway, I hope you’ll like this new theme. :-)

On another note, I would like to introduce you to our local cake made of corn.

I don’t know if it exist in other regions outside Sabah (or Malaysia), but here in Sabah, the Rungus people call it Bintanok Jagung. This local cake is very easy to make. Just blend the corn with some sugar, wrap it up with it’s petal and steam it.

Taste wise? Whoaaa.. makan satu nak lagi!! (roughly translated as: “eat one, you’ll want another!!”)

OK gotta go. I have plenty of bintanok jagung waiting for me on the table and I am planning to eat a lot! (Not sure if I could gain weight from doing this, but hey, there’s always Phentermine diet pills bah!) xD

Wahh.. I’ve been really, REALLY busy these past few days, I hardly have time to sit and check my blog. The moment I arrive home, all I could think was to check my FB take a shower and go straight to bed. It’s THAT tired, man! I know I promised to do some bloghop, but lately it seems impossible. I did, however, managed to visit some blogs quickly but didn’t have time to leave comment. Sorry! Will do that when time permits, ok?

And not to be such a bad friend, I am finally posting this long due award that I received from sweet Jenny some time ago. OMG, thousand apologies dear, I totally forgotten about it. But thank you for remembering me in your circle of friendship. :-)
