28th October 2009, Wednesday - This afternoon, I went to a bazaar that is held at University Brunei Darussalam (UBD) in conjunction with its Convocation Festival 2009 ("Pesta Konvo"). My "mission" is to get a taste of Ahad's Burger. Ahad's Burger has been introduced to me through a photography forum i.e forum.bruneiforever.com by its members.


I bought 2 variaties of the burgers: beef with cheese and egg & chicken. The beef burger with cheese and egg costs BND2.50 each. The chicken burger costs BND1.50 each.

My first intention to go UBD this afternoon was to attend a public seminar that was held at the Senate Room, Chancellor Hall (in addition to have a taste of Ahad's Burger, of course). So, I ate my burgers at my car. I ate them with a can of Pepsi-Cola. Coca-Coca or Pepsi-Cola and burger do come together in terms of taste.

However, due to certain reasons, I have to cancel my intention to come to the seminar. At least, I get my burgers.

18th September 2009, Friday --Last night, I made my first attempt making homemade burger. I find out that making homemade burger patties is more expensive than buying the ready-made burger patties.


The Breadcrumbs
The Burger Buns
McCormik Montreal Steak Seasoning
Maggi Chilli Sauce. Actually, I prefer Life Chilli Sauce.
Minced beef.
Tomatoes.
Grill them.
Toast the bun. Put the cheese and let it melts.
This is my the first one.
Tomato slices.
Toast the bun for the second one.
The second burger is done.
I cut it into half.
Actually, somethings are missing in its taste and texture. May be I should add iceberg lettuce, onions, tomato sauce, and fried egg to give it more ummph.

May be, I should try adding bbq sauce or black pepper sauce....Talking about burger with black pepper sauce, I really like McDonald's Prosperity Burger.

p/s: I forget something when I ate the burger last night. There was no Coca-Cola or Pepsi-Cola. This drink is a must when I eat burger.....

28th August 2009, Friday --Today, 7th Ramadan 1430H, I visited the Gerai Ramadan at the parking lots of Stadium Negara Hassanal Bolkiah for the second time. Actually, this was my outing together with the others in Brunei Forever Forum (BFF).


Despite this is a photography outing, I did not manage get the photos that technically very good. There are still out of focus subjects. I think the photos that I have taken last week are better than this.

Talking about food (which is my favourite subject), my mission in this visit is to get either kuih malaya, kebab, or murtabak. Luckily, I managed to get the kuih malaya. During my first outing, I did not manage to get it (from the stall) because it had been sold out.

KUIH MALAYA a.k.a APAM BALIK
Kuih malaya is a kind of pancake with peanuts, sugar, raisins, sweetened milk, and margarine toppings. The price of kuih malaya at the Gerai Ramadan Stadium is vary from stall to stall. At this stall (from where the photos are taken), the larger one costs BND2.50, and the regular size costs BND2.00. The other stalls may costs BND2.00 for the larger and BND1.50 for the smaller.

Why "apam balik" is called "kuih malaya" in Brunei? From what I have heard, apam balik was introduced by "orang Malaya" who came from Tanah Melayu or Malaya (now, Semananjung Malaysia). So, Bruneians like to call it "kuih malaya" instead of "apam balik" (correct me if I am wrong).














I prefer the kuih malaya which has more sweetened milk topping that make it felt creamier at the center. And, my daughter and son like to eat pancake, including kuih malaya, dipping with sweetened milk.

KEBAB
In order to get some of the people favourite items at the Gerai Ramadan Stadium, you have to come a bit earlier i.e around 5pm. If not, you may facing a long queue or the items may be sold out.

This is the case when I want to get the kebab (from a stall) this evening. I try to get it in my next visit there.





BURGER
May be you and I should also try this homemade burger from a stall at the BBQ foods area. It does attract a lot of customer to get one.
