WHEN EAST MEET WEST

When the children... (dira n rasyid) are still here till end of the week...mama will try to be creative with her cooking.

I love it!..the children love it!.. but... the father....not quite his cup of tea.

He loves spaghetti bolognese of course...but not macaroni...too bad!

But he tasted a little bit...just to please me...

ahh....perfecto...!!

Though it's my first attempt...the macaroni is superbly done!...it's like i've been baking it for ages! (angkat bakul sendiri ) he!he!he!

I love baking it in the melayu version(spreading fried onions, some red chillies, onions n parsley leaves )...but at the same time i do spread some cheese on top of it...just like; when east meet west.
