As Aimi around, we have extra hand to put Honey Cornflakes into the cups. When everything cooked we have to divided its into 3 potions - 1 for Azrin - Canterbury, Aimi - Reading and me - Longford. While making the cookies, Aimi kept moaning "how aunty Niza managed making honey cornflakes cookies alone" (Aimi did ordered 150 of honey cornflakes for her uni depa-raya night from Aniza) She told us this cookies were hit during that night and everybody included her lecturers love it.

Sardine Currypuff
To make the sardine filling, Aimi job - peeled onions, garlic, green chillies - chopped and slices. Azrin job - preparing the sardine - takes the sardine from the tins and mash it ( it put her off but when it ready she decided she changed her mind, she love the sardine filling) and cooked the sardine. Both of them help me doing the currypuff. Each of them took some home. BIG NEWS Aimi now know how to fry the currypuff by herself ( she never done it before - if she need anything to fry she will take it to her sister house to cook)
Sardine Filling
3 tins 425g Pilchards in tomato sauce (we use Pilchards because it cheaper than sardine and it taste like sardine) - only sardine and mash it using fork, don't use the sauce
3 onions - sliced
3 clove garlic - chopped
4 green chillies - sliced
3 tbsp oil
2 lime - take juice (1/2 lemon - take juice)
Salt and sugar to taste
1. Heat the oil, fry the onion and garlic until soft.
2. Add the mash sardine and chillies and fry it for 5 minutes.
3. Add in lime juice and season to taste.
