Makan oh Makan...

Makan untuk hidup or hidup untuk makan? Well...both for me...sebab? I eat to gain energy (besides gaining weight, actually...hehehe...) and nutrition for me to move on with life activities and I live to enjoy food as well, right? So, it appears to benefit me both ways...

Since I moved to Frankfurt, ye lah kata orang, sebagai seorang Muslim, makanan di negara luar especially bukan negara Islam, akan menjadi satu cabaran as we feel difficult to find halal food. So, before ordering or buying something to eat, I have to really careful on the ingredients or what mentioned in the menu...Jadi, pilihan adalah amat terhad...itu lah hakikatnya and it seems that I am totally ok with it...tapi di sini, ada banyak Turkish restaurants...and they offer halal food...ada jugak fish restaurants...so, tidak menjadi masalah tapi kena control la sikit...at the end of the day, it's better to cook at home...kan? Hmmm...I really miss my mom's cooking: nasi ayam...ayam masak hitam...gulai ikan nyoq2...everything...

So...these are amongst my lunch menu besides Maggi bila berada di perantauan...hehehe...

shrimp salad...kenyang rupanya kalau makan benda ni saja...
sweet yogurt with berries...fresh berries...

shrimp flammkuchen...French version of pizza...very crispy...
one of my favorites: grill salmon with saute potato...

Till then, XOXO...

Lama Nyerrr...

Ya ampunnn...lama nyerrr saya tak citer apa-apa kat blog saya ni...people must have been wondering why the hell Maleen is not writing now and where is she...sorry ya for not updating what's happening lately...my last journal was around in May and that is quite a long time ya...4 months ago...lama nyerrr...actually, I am no longer in Malaysia...hehehe...I am now reside and working in Frankfurt, Germany...but that will be only temporary for 4 years insyaAllah...kalau diizinkan olehNya untuk saya terus bekerja di sini sepertimana tempoh yang ditetapkan lah...

Anyway, i received the transfer note about last year in 2010 but it was yet to be confirmed on the destination and time to go until few months before 2010 left us, i got to know the tentative details...but of course...seperti statement artis2...takut nak buat apa-apa announcement...satu, takut orang cakap saya nak berlagak and keduanya, takut benda tak jadik, malu jer announce bagai nak rak...so it's better to keep to ourselves first...

Then, i got the temporary visa for 3 months on 30 June 2011 and a week after that, me and hubby were off to Frankfurt...sangat kelam kabut and bz arranging to pack everything especially food stuff and documentation and that's why i didn't have enough time to at least inform my friends either in social network page or blog...and last Monday, we managed to get the working visa and residence permit for 4 years...after long and tiring procedures...goshhh...

So, from now on, I will try my best to share stories from here...my experiences...the journey...the people...places, food...everything...

Till then, XOXO...
