Cookies Sold Out in an Instant at RBTS!

-Nadia, a close friend of mine-
Picture taken from her Facebook

An ex-colleague of RBTS (a close friend actually), Nadia Hj Leman, agreed to help me sell some of Orked's Cookies at her work place. According to Nadia, it was only a few minutes since she arrived at the office and the cookies were sold out already. I was surprised to receive a personal message from her on my MSN saying, "Cookies sold out!!!" At that time, I just got back home after sending off ten packs of cookies to her place and was just switching on my lappie when I got the message. It totally made my day! Thanks Nadia for selling and promoting them for me. I'm honoured to make more cookies for you to sell (as requested) by this Monday. And I know that you're craving for them already. *giggles*

-COMPLETELY SOLD OUT!-

I would also like to thank my cookies customers at RBTS: Pg Zul (he bought two packs!), Ka Suria, Shazil, Zaki, Ali, Khai, Fizah and Tuty. Thank you very much!

Fanatic Chocolate Fan Bought Orked's Cookies!

This sweet, pretty lady, Izan Rosli (Sorry guys! She's taken already. Boo hoo!), came all the way to Giant Hypermarket (our meeting point) just to buy some cookies of mine. She wanted all Double Chocolate since she loves chocolate so much (she told me that she finds chocolates irresistible) but too bad, it was out. So, she bought the last pack of Orked's Crunchy Cookies and two packs of Orked's Old Fashioned Chocolate Chip Cookies (mixed). It costs $9 altogether but she was kind enough to let me keep the change when she paid me with a ten dollar note. Thank you Izan! Thank you for coming all the way from where ever you were just for the sake of my cookies. I'm so glad that you liked them. Try Orked's Dark Chocolate Mud Cake soon yea? *giggles*

The Story of Orked's Dark Chocolate Mud Cake

I am a huge fan of dark chocolates and loves to indulge myself with chocolate cakes. My first taste of a rich, indulging chocolate cake was a Polo Club's Chocolate Cake. I didn't get the actual name of the cake because it was a Hari Raya gift from my aunt, Datin Hjh Rosnah, (who happens to be a fanatic dark chocolate fan too) the wife of my uncle, Dato Paduka Hj Abd Rahman Hj Mohiddin. The cake was totally fabulous and really satisfying my chocolate craves. So, I made an effort to do a research on every chocolate cookbooks I have on my shelf and found a recipe, which I thought would have a really chocolatey outcome. And it totally is! It is so rich and chocolatey that my family loved it a lot as well as everybody. It has been an all time favourite and since then, I never failed to make one (or more) every year for serving during my Hari Raya open house. My first attempt on making the cake was a complete success.

My Youngest Cookie Customer!

-A happy family-

This cute, little girl is responsible for the trail of cookie crumbs in my other half's bedroom. Zaininaannaty, the only child to Haji Asri and Kristina, has been sneaking into her uncle's bedroom and ate cookies out its jar in the dark. *giggles* Then on Friday night, she rang me using her cell phone (Yes, her very own cell phone! Six year olds these days~) and placed an order of 300g of Orked's Double Chocolate Crunchy Cookies for Sunday. But I got her cookies ready by Saturday night. So I took the cookies with me when my other half picked me up at my home for a Saturday night out. And I was surprised by a little girl's presence in the car. Cute, little Nina insisted on picking up the cookies herself! She paid me with a ten dollar note as soon as I sat myself on the front seat of the white Toyota Fortuner. And I actually demanded for a kiss when she asked for her cookies. *grinning slyly* And when I handed her the cookies, she actually wondered why I had it all packed in three individual brown paper bags and gathered them in a plastic bag. Because she was actually expecting me to store them in a fancy cookie jar just like the one I had for my other half!

-One bright, little girl-

Peach Trifle... Loved by Many Men!

Two is more than one. Therefore, anything more than one is many. When I mentioned "many men", I was referring to my other half and his brother, Haji Asri. *giggles* Too bad I only made one because if I had more, many would have the opportunity to taste them. And it would have captured more hearts.

These are the pictures managed to be taken last night during the BBQ dinner.

-Two men's hearts captured!-

-Look at that look on his face!-

Haji Asri was skeptic when he found out about the peaches in the dessert so he took just a small portion on to his dessert plate. I just don't know why some people finds peaches a turn off. Peaches are wonderful yet nutritious! At his first bite, his eyes widened with awe. And later, took a huge glop of the hearty indulgence. I find myself smiling in total delight. Do you see how the Peach Trifle can melt the heart of a man? Well, it's proven!

I did find myself the time to do the calculations on my expenses last night and decided to sell the Peach Trifle at an affordable price of $10. So, are you thinking of getting into your man's heart? Melt them with Orked's Peach Trifle!
