The Fabulous Bakers have done it again. Time to sample their wonderful and gorgeous creations this Raya. Who can say no to cakes by JUST HEAVENLY!  Angels in heaven shiver in delight at the very thought of that divine cake sliding through the palate as they play their harps.

Malaysians are a giving community but with the festive season comes the usual anxiety over what to give.

To create a new niche in the market, and to expand the choices of our customers, A Slice of Heaven and it’s parent, Just Heavenly, would like to introduce CENTREPIECES to everyone.

When you go to a home celebrating Ramadhan you will invariably find a table laden with festive goodies from savouries to sweets and a decorative centerpiece.

In this instance, sticking to their core specialty, they are offering uniquely beautiful, decorative & delicious centerpieces that you can serve on the day along with your other festive foods.

For those who would like to visit friends and family and not go empty-handed, they have also desirable range of gift boxes.

And if you’re like me and you love playing Angry Birds, you will love the gorgeous cupcakes made by Just Heavenly.  Their workmanship is immaculate and impressive.  It’s a pity one can’t keep them on display forever!

To all Muslim readers, Selamat Berpuasa for the next few days, and Selamat Hari Raya!

Sept 1-14th – BAKING FOR ELIZABETH MAH

Dear readers,

I’ve copied this directly from Fatboybakes’ blog.  Please help support this cause.  I’ve been following Elizabeth’s progress and my heart goes out to her and her family.

Liz, and her husband, Henry, are dear friends of mine. I am the godpa to their eldest kid, Nicholas, and they are godparents to my youngest daughter, Mei. Two years ago, Liz was diagnosed with Stage 4N Non Small Cell Lung Cancer. By the grace of God, she has managed to put up a good fight, and for a year or so, the targetted Chemo drug Tarceva seemed to work well.

Earlier this year, however, scans showed that the drug had stopped working, and the cancer has spread again. They are now embarking on a new form of treatment, which you can read about in Henry’s appeal letter.

Anyway, September is Liz’s birthday month, so I would like to dedicate all dough (excuse the pun) raised from cake sales in the first two weeks of September towards her treatment. In all the years I’ve been blogging, I have never appealed from my friends/readers, but on this occasion, I am asking you if you find it in your heart to contribute to these dear friends of mine, please do so. The photo shows what cakes are available during the first two weeks of September for sale.

You can sms your orders to me at 012-3240988. Do please indicate if you are responding to this note, so I can relay to them who their kind benefactors are.

God Bless you all, my friends.

Oh My Goodness! Giant burger at The Daily Grind, Bangsar

OMG

“I’m not telling you, ‘Never eat a hamburger.’ Just eat the good ones with real beef, you know, like the ones from that mom-and-pop diner down the street, … And it’s so good that when you take a bite out of that burger, you just know somewhere in the world a vegan is crying.”
– Homer Simpson

OMG

Craving for pleasure in a 9-inch package?

Déjà vu.

But not quite.

OMG

A 6 kilogram wonder – 2 kilos of freshly ground juicy beef patty, 1 kilo of cheese, 1 kilo of pickles, tomatoes and greens, and 2 kilos of multigrain bun that tries to make this healthy.

OMG

And the true test of a good burger? Lift it up, hold it between your fingers as the juices drip down your wrist, and take a big chomp through the entire cross section.  Then lick up the spillages.

Talking at this point is not advisable.

 

***********

 

It’s no secret that I’m a fan of The Daily Grind.  When the owners invited me over to try this monstrosity of a burger, I went for a medical check-up first before agreeing.  Eating a burger this size is like preparing for war.  You have to be prepared.

*grin*

Nah.  It’s meant to be shared – lah.  For us Malaysians, communal dining is nothing new.  If we can sup over rice and curry and ko lou yoke, we can certainly sup over a giant burger.  What an amazing bonding opportunity.

This burger can easily feed 10 to 12 persons.   The price?  RM360++.  Please order 48 hours ahead because something this size needs tender loving care and planning.  I’m still talking about burgers, of course.
