NICI Horse Club (horse plush)


Welcome to NICI Horse Club the most exquisite horse plush club in NICI-Mania and probably the rest of the nici world. Edward and Edward horse plush are both the co-founders of NICI Horse Club.

WAIT!

I thought NICI Horse Club is supposed to be like this

this

this

and this? What are you two minily nici horse plush doing here trying to impersonate the real NICI Horse Club horses?



These two ignorant nici horse plush blatantly disregarded our questions and continued their NICI Horse Club sophomoric act.



NICI Horse Club criteria 1: You must be a a cute horse plush
Are you discriminating other horse plush?



NICI Horse Club criteria 2: You must have beautiful blonde hair
Thats certainly horse plush discrimination!



NICI Horse Club criteria 3: You must love eating carrots!
When did nici horse plush eat carrots? Besides..that's a REAL carrot!



NICI Zebra: I am a cute nici horse plush, can I join the NICI Horse Club? With my flair and charisma, I would definitely make an elite NICI Horse Club member!



You are not a nici horse plush. NICI Horse club only accepts 100% true horse plush! NICI Zebra: What?!.....




NICI Crocodile plush came along to confront the fake NICI Horse Club. Hey Edward horses, you two are supposed to be NICI minily club..



See, we all have the same love shape nici tag and your big head is an unmistakable evidence that you belong to NICI minily club, not NICI Horse Club. Snap out of it!



The two nici horse plush were thrown into confusion after hearing minily croco's words who saved the day. Sorry for those who came looking for the real NICI Horse Club! ^_^

NICI Zebra Asian Home Gourmet

NICI Zebra is the official endorser for Asian Home Gourmet Thai Red Curry spice paste. Of course not, why would Asian Home Gourmet ask a NICI Zebra plush toy to endorse a curry spice paste. Well perhaps in the future they will *blink blink* we really don't mind! Story goes..


NICI Zebra had curry chicken with us during the weekend. It was a haphazard meal as we did not plan to take any pictures of NICI Zebra while cooking this lazy meal. We were passing by the supermarket and saw a packet of Asian Home Gourmet Thai red curry spice paste, then it suddenly struck us that we had potatoes and some chicken thigh in our fridge, and also coincidentally a packet of coconut milk in stock. The coincidence never ends do they.


We love curry chicken and we often cook curry chicken but this is one of the few rare occasions we're cooking curry chicken with a ready made spice paste. The usual process of peeling the onions, garlics, chopping up the chili, mixing the curry powders and blending them all together got to us as a tedious task today. Getting a ready made curry spice paste from Asian Home Gourmet saves all the trouble, best of all there's no added MSG, preservatives or artificial coloring! Hey, we already said that our NICI Zebra is not endorsing the Asian Home Gourmet curry spice paste, stop advertising! There you go again!


NICI Zebra, why do we see some red coloring on the four pieces of chicken thigh meat in the bowl? Well we did something to the chicken thigh meat earlier...


NICI Zebra secretly takes us back 20 minutes to show you a picture. We added our own extra curry powder, turmeric powder and chili powder with a tablespoon of salt and a tablespoon of sugar. Marinating the chicken this way lets the curry taste sinks deep into the big piece of meat with the salt and sugar working as meat tenderizers.


The instructions behind the Asian Home Gourmet curry spice paste says we fry the curry paste and also half the pack of coconut milk in medium heat oil. Doesn't that sound very familiar to the Thai Green Curry recipe we done previously? We made chicken oil from the chicken skin that we peeled off from the thigh meat as you can see from the first picture in the separate plate on the right. After that we used that oil to fry the curry paste and coconut milk until it is fragrant and then only put in the chicken. The potatoes come in last after we fry the chicken for a while until it turns a little brown. The Asian Home Gourmet curry spice paste is already salted, you don't need to add any more constituents other than coconut milk.


After which, we will add water enough to cover the ingredients and bring to boil in medium heat all the way for about 15 minutes while adding the remaining of the coconut milk when its almost done.


NICI Zebra presents to you instant Thai red curry chicken! We saved about 15 minutes in preparing but NICI Zebra thinks that our own made curry paste taste better than the ready made Asian Home Gourmet curry spice paste. Not a fair comparison as we add lots of other extra ingredients to our own curry paste, so next time we will show you in detail the real Malaysia style curry chicken recipe. The small plate beside NICI Zebra is the fried chicken skin after we extracted all the oil, its extra crispy and delicious just like a snack!

Malaysia NICI Shop Part 2

Continuing NICI Reindeer's cute plushy adventure in KL. Many thanks to the shop assistant for letting us take pictures in the shop freely, probably because I looked like an ingenuous kid in Disneyland.

NICI Concept Store, Malaysia
2nd Floor, 1 Utama Shopping Complex (Old Wing),
No. 1, Lebuh Bandar Utama,
Bandar Utama Damansara,
47800 Petaling Jaya, Selangor.
Contact Infomation: (+6)03-7726 5496


I love how they wrap the 80cm and above plushies in plastic so that they stay dust free. CNS Plaza Singapura does that too, great job! Many shops don't wrap 80cm plush or even 120cm ones.

120cm Jill Husky. Look at the size of her lovely boots

Cute and dumb looking 120cm Jolly Hugo Wolf. Hope someone already brought him home :)

I love the Jolly Rosa bag.

Snow Reindeer mission accomplished!

Who's that?..

"Hi I'm NICI Zebra and my forte is posing for pictures" :p

Stopped by Gardens Cafe to take a rest.

"Let's order some coffee.."

Viennese coffee (on the left) is so lovely and the special brew (on the right) is the shop's recommendation.

Time to go now...

Hope there's a next trip to KL again soon!
