Good Day

Happy VERY VERY Belated Birthday Wish

 

 OMG.. Spider webs here & there...!!!!

Wow!! just realized that in the last 10 months I haven't got  a chance to do any posting and I think it is about time to start this going again.

So why this much silence?
Well, nothing much going on.. 
Just that couldn't afford some time to really sit down & writes.. As part of that I found myself been super duper busy with kids..
 Their schools & tuitions.. Arghhghhhhh.. 
My eldest girl will be seating for SPM & d fourth girl will be facing UPSR.. 
Can u imagine, 6 kids going to school..

Few friends have been asking "Ogy.. WHY u r not updating neither your blog nor your FB..?"

They want new recipes, new stories & new photos..

Well, I do not want to promise anything here.. BUT, I m trying my best to spend sometimes updating my blog..

With such a tight schedule and as baking is my passion.. can't get rid of it..

 I still bake & still take order..

Hence, as a kick starts for d day.. I m very pleased to share with u guys d very special 

4th Birthdays Cakes of d 

triplets of Dato' Nas & Datin Amy.

The triplets are ;

Puteri Nur Arieefa Sofi (Arieefa)

Puteri Nur Aweena Sofi (Aweena)

Puteri Nur Adeena Sofi (Adeeba)

D triplets celebrated their 4th Birthday somewhere end of February or early March 2014. (pardon me.. if I was wrong...)

Basically, this was a VERY BELATED birthday wish/post.

3 Princesses for d 3 Princesses

           

I was so happy & touched when Dato' & Datin called me personally, just to convey that they were so impressed with the cakes. They said, the cakes were so awesome that they did not dare to cut & eat them.. & of course d girls love them very much..

Terima kasih daun keladi ya...

Good Day

from durian

Bercakap mengenai durian ni.. masing-masing mempunyai pendapat ataupun pandangan tersendiri mengenai raja buah ni..
shud i say, ..d different kind of love & hate towards d DURIAN
anyway, perhaps..
ITS (only) A THIN LINE BETWEEN LOVE & HATE.. (i believe)
hahaha

Some are crazy about it, some just cant stand d smell.. (poor u..)

BUT I m a huge fan of durian and of course d tempoyak..

to tempoyak

d authentic durian spread

 Tempoyak is one-of-a-kind that cannot be compared to anything else in this world.

It is a thick-lumpy-yellow-cream just like d mayonnaise.. 

 It's almost indescribable.

Let the photos do d talking ..

the step-by-step of d making of d TEMPOYAK or FERMENTED DURIAN

How To Make Tempoyak??
To make tempoyak is pretty simple.
1. Separate seed from the flesh.
2. Mix well the durian flesh with salt, sugar & birds eye chilli.
- 1 cup of durian flesh to 1 tsp of salt.
 Too little of salt will cause your tempoyak to become sour. Put too much, and of course your tempoyak will become too salty.
3. Keep the mixture in an airtight container, and it is ready for consumption minimum 2 days thereafter. 
Tempoyak well preversed can last for months, provided u keep it refrigerated. It is a traditional condiment, used as an additional flavor in Malaysian cooking.
 It is created as a one way to utilize d overripe or excess durian so that there will be no wastage.

So, once u have got your tempoyak ready..

 u can have it raw with a little bit of chillies 

OR 

u may add d tempoyak to your cook.

Good Day

Today, 12 September 2013 is d last day of PMR exam. They will be having Science, English & Aptitude Test paper today. 

After this, the Year 6 students will be temporarily MERDEKA from all d 5A's burden..

InshaAllah, may success be in your hands, after all d effort thrown.

Forget about d PMR..

As promised.. tadaaaaaaa....

KuEh CaRa BeRLAuK

From d KuEh CaRa MaNiS  to KuEh CaRa BeRLaUk is just like having main dish & dessert @ one short.. 

From mouth watering sweetness to d hot & spicy savory delicacy.. 

I shud say that u won't regret of having both.. 

Just like killing 2 birds with one stone .. Hahaha
Basically, ingredients and method for KuEh CaRa BeRLaUk remain the same.. 

Just change the colour of batter from green to yellow.. 

Substitute d pandanus green colour with turmeric powder or yellow coloring only.
I will definitely recommend d use of turmeric powder for d natural flavouring and aroma. 

And finally change the filling from  d sweet sugar to d savory 'lauk' i.e. d fried minced meat. 

If u make d kueh yourself, definitely u can put extra lauk.. 

Don't have 2 b 2 stingy.. too little 2 enjoy the kueh.

OK.. lets look @ d recipe..

The batter will be d same as d KuEh CaRa MaNiS. Kindly refer to my earlier post HERE & as for easy reference, let me just copy & paste d recipe, as follows : 

D Batter

Ingredients:

4 cups plain flour

2 boxes Coconut Milk (ogyep likes to use d MS brand)

3 eggs

2 cups water (blend together with d pandanus leaves)

5-6 pandanus leaves

1-2 drops green coconut pandan paste

a drop of green  yellow color or 1/4 tsp tumeric powder

dash of salt (to toast up d milky taste)

Castor sugar to be dropped in the centre (about 1/4 tsp for each kuih)

Method:

1.Clean & wash d pandanus leaves. Blend together with 2 cups of water. Strain d mixture & set aside.
2. Bring together d flour, coconut milk, eggs, coconut pandan paste & salt in a mixing bowl. Mix well till u  get a thick batter. 

3. Add in the pandanus water  plain water. Just add in bit by bit till u got a flowing batter. Not too dilute please..

4. Strain d batter.

5. Meanwhile heat up the mould on the stove. Slather it with some cooking oil to prevent sticking.

6. Place a ladle-ful of the mixture to 3/4 fill each mould.

7. Sprinkle about 1/4 tsp of sugar in the center of each mixture.

Sprinkle d minced meat filling prepared earlier. Garnish with sliced red chillies & spring onion.

8. Cover with lid and cook about 5 mins or the kueh is done when the top is dry.

9. ogyep uses 'cake tester' to pull out the Kueh from d mould.

Please do not get confused ya with all d cancellation above... 

I m trying to be creative here.. hahaha...
