Mixed Fruit Punch Cocktail

I've been having this Mixed Fruit Punch Cocktail recipe since I was a teenage. If I'm not mistaken I got this recipe from one of my sisters. The ingredients are very simply, just fruits and juice. I modified a tiny bit by adding in more fruits and gelatin. As for the red wine or any kind of wine, it is depending if you like it or not. It is very refreshing. I like to add a lot of watermelon. It is definitely very suitable for parties or after a heavy meal. I just love it.

Indonesian Layer Cake ( Kueh Lapis)

This Layer Cake is my four thousand gold favorite snack. I know why, they love the peeling part of the cake while eating it. Somehow, i noticed this cake is nice to be eaten in small pieces. Not only them, perhaps I believe no one can refrain from the aromatic and rich in flavor dessert like this. It definitely stands for a very important part during tea time. It needs a lot of time and patience to do this therefore it is not a ordinary cake. This time i was a bit rush therefore I'm using 2 baking trays to make this instead of one, or else you would be able to see more layers. Tell you what this picture that you are seeing right now, actually the cake are all gone, my daughters gobbled all at the same day. They just can't stop eating it. Try it out yourself and you will know!

Turmeric Chicken Curry & Turmeric Rice (Nasi Kunyit)

This picture was taken in January during my youngest daughter's 4th birthday party. I threw a birthday party for her and invited a lot of guests. If I'm not mistaken, roughly about 50 peoples. When I send out an invitation, they will bring alone their whole family. Let say if someone were to invite me for a party I will definitely bring along all my kids. Lets make a big group and have fun, the kids can play Let's Dance or Wii games while the adult can sing karaoke. I like the crowd and laughter, eventually my house will have party at least once or twice a year. This time I cooked the chicken curry with more gravy. It is very tasty to put over the Turmeric rice. I previously cooked a very nice dry chicken curry too. Check it out more at this blog.
