80% successful Daging Rendang recipe

An attempt that really amazed me. Although I missed one ingredient in the recipe and still need to cook the meat until it’s tender, it was still an overall success for me as a novice cook. 

Yesterday, I prepared a Daging Rendang dish following a recipe that Che Nom shared on YouTube. I found the taste and aroma to be almost identical to what my in-law used to cook. She is also following Che Nom’s recipe. As she is currently in Brunei, I have been given the responsibility of cooking the menu for the Eid feast. My nerves won’t go away until the event is over. So I wish I could pull this off.

Short day trip to Annemasse

All Brunei workers at Brunei Mission were given a 3-day Eid-Ul Fitri holiday starting from Sunday, 30th March in Geneva (a day earlier than in Brunei). I was happy that happened because I could enjoy the day with Mr. Hubby while my daughter at school 🙂

The plan was to have lunch at a ramen restaurant near the Swiss border between Switzerland and France called Yatta Ramen in Annemasse, France, after the gym. Maybe after that, we could take a look around.  Besides buying groceries at Carrefour, which is usually cheaper than buying in Switzerland, I can say that there isn’t much to see there. Due to the many road constructions taking place there, our exploration or small walk was limited.

Yatta Ramen, Annemasse

According to the restaurant manager, the construction will continue until next year because they want to build a tramway track from Geneva to that location. I guess that would be convenient for us. Perhaps after that, there will be more intriguing shops and restaurants, especially halal ones.

I only managed to capture a place that would be my next target to go here next time.

Bar à Chats

I have a fondness for cats, so I would be thrilled to go here. They seemed to have an affordable and tasty dish to try.

St. Joseph Church

We went home by train. If you already have a yearly pass, you only pay less than Sfr. 2 for a one-way ticket.

Winter and the Christmas Market

I hadn’t fully embraced the cool and rainy of the fall season yet winter was already here. I really didn’t expect it to come this sooner.

On 4/12/2023 morning the street was blanketed with snow.

The magical Christmas Market, ‘Chrismas at the Quay’ in Geneva opened from 16th November until 24th December 2023. We spent time seeing the market right after her therapy. What I remember is they usually held the venue in Bastian Park and two years ago, I think in Jardin Anglais but this year they changed next to Hotel D’Angleterre.

There were so many food trucks and kiosks but we didn’t venture into the food that night. We only bought Churros as our late snacks.

Since we are Muslims and we don’t celebrate the beautiful day that leaves me wondering what is your favorite part of Christmas? Would love to know that in the comment 🙂
