Muslimah Wedding

Glitter text generator

Been scouting around for muslimah wedding gowns.. Am so happy to have come across Princess Arabia!

The owner of these collection is a lady who is beautiful inside out.. Syukran jasil to her for her attentiveness, not forgetting her sister as well as Mom..

I have posted a few of her beautiful clothes, do visit her webpage on FB to have a look at more! And she has also just launched Eid jubah/jabiyas as well..

P.s: They have white gowns as well and mind u, their white gowns are unlike other malay wedding boutiques..it's design is comparible to those you find in western bridal boutiques..

Looking for Arabic Clothing?

For those of you Muslimah and ladies out there who are looking for Arabic style clothings, be it for a casual affair, your very own wedding or just, to blend in to your company Dinner & Dance theme (Arabian nights), do head on down to a new and handsome boutique Called Shirins at 664, North Bridge Road Singapore 188799. Website: http://www.shirins.com.sg/boutique

Though you won't find much photos of their beautiful clothes (which I heard are from Dubai, Turkey, etc) from their website, I'm sure you will be amazed when you step foot into their cosy and tastefully furnished boutique.

To top it all of, the friendly service rendered by the "gem" of the shop will leave you feeling like you have known each other for long!

So to those from the seberang tambak who frequents Arab street whenever they are in Singapore, jangan lupa stop by kedai yang terletak bersebelahan dengan Golden Landmark ini :)

Pictures below are taken from their very own website and not from me.

Shawarma Recipe



Each time I visit Copenhagen, I will never fail to make a trip to have Shawarma @ Chili Shawarma @ Field's: Arne Jacobsens Allé 12, 2300 Copenhagen S.
As well as Kosk Kebab @ Frederikssundsveg 23, Kobenhavn NV Website: http://www.kosk-kebab.dk/

The chilli sauce in oil is superb! It's bloody spicy but once u have it u just can't stop. Serious!



Ingredients

* 1 cup plain yogurt
* 2 teaspoons lemon juice
* 4 cloves garlic, minced
* 1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
* 1 teaspoon vinegar
* 1 teaspoon onions, finely minced
* 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
* 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
* 1/2 teaspoon ground mace
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 2 lbs beef or chicken or lamb, sliced very thin
* 1 cup tahini
* 2 cloves garlic, minced
* 2 teaspoons lemon juice
* 2 teaspoons chopped parsley
* 1/2 cup water
* 8 slices pita bread
* sliced tomatoes
* sliced onions
* mixed sprouts
* lettuce, sliced thin
* tzatziki:*See recipe below
Tzatziki is made of strained yoghurt (usually sheep's-milk or goat's-milk in Greece and Turkey) mixed with cucumbers, garlic, salt, usually olive oil, pepper, sometimes dill, sometimes lemon juice and parsley, and sometimes mint added. The cucumbers are either pureed and strained, or seeded and finely diced. Olive oil, olives, and herbs are often used as garnishes.

Directions

1. Combine yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, pepper sauce, vinegar, onion, black and cayenne pepper, mace, and salt.
2. Add meat and marinate overnight.
3. (at least 12 hours-stir a few times) Grill the meat until done or broil in oven.
4. Combine the tahini, garlic, lemon juice, and parsley.
5. Whisk well.
6. Add water if needed.
7. To make the sandwich slice open a pita, spread some tahini sauce on the bread and add some lettuce and sprouts, tomato, onion and meat.
8. Pour on a little tzatziki and chow down.

For Chili Paste:
* 1 Cup Tahini:*See recipe below
* 3/4 cup lemon juice
* 2 tablespoons water
* 2 cloves garlic, crushed
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 teaspoon parsley, finely chopped
* dash of cumin
* 6-8 Dry red chilies
Tahini requires 5 cups sesame seeds & 1 1/2 cups olive oil or vegetable oil. Preheat oven to 350. Toast sesame seeds for 5-10 minutes, shaking the seeds frequently with a spatula. Do not allow to brown. Cool for 20 minutes.

Pour sesame seeds into food processor and add oil. Blend for 2 minutes. Check for consistency. The goal is a thick, yet pourable texture. Add more oil and blend until desired consistency. Tahini should be stored in the refrigerator in a tightly closed container. It will keep for up to 3 months.
