Marble Cheese Cake

Last weekend was a Marbel Cheese Cake day. Yummy!!

This is my second attempt, and the result is IMPROVING! The taste is there, but the look is yet to be developed. hehehhe... I need to make this more.

baking a cheese cake is simpler than you think....

Base: Any type of biscuits crumb (I like McVities original or Oreo)

1. 500gm cream cheese

2. 250gm cream (But I have also seen some recipe used 500gm cream but never tried.. because it'll make my cheese cake so expensive.. hehehe)

3. 7 eggs

4. 150gm sugar

5. a lil bit of salt

6. 35 gm corn starch

7. 70 gm flour

- putar cream cheese sampai tak berketul-ketul

- masukkan cream sedikit demi sedikit sambil putar sampai adunan smooth. ketepikan sebentar

- putar telur putih sampai kental. masukkan gula & garam, putar lagi.

- masukkan telur kuning dalam adunan cheese, putar, masukkan adunan telur putih + gula. putar

- masukkan tepung sedikit demi sedikit sambil putar

SIAP! Bakar selama 1 jam or so, pada suhu 165 degree menggunakan teknik double-boil.

kalau nak buat marble - ambil sedikit adunan kek, campurkan sedikit serbuk koko. Pipe kan ke atas kek & lorek-lorekkan.

kalau taknak muak, boleh parutkan sedikit kulit lemon.

kalau nak cheese cake beraneka rasa, boleh masukkan biskut oreo.

This mix must be baked (cannot be refrigerated).

English Trifle

I did this last two weeks but only have time to update it today. Last weekend was chocolate cake day, but before I remember to snap some pictures, they are gone.. !!




And this English Trifle...
I tell you this is really really nice. My kids love it, so do I. My hubby didn't like it because it's too sweet. Blame it on the cameron highland's strawberry sauce.

Thanks to Aunty Nani for the great recipe. And now I know there is a difference between whipping cream and topping cream...

In the mood of cooking

Last weekend i was in the mood for cooking, I still not satisfied with my chocolat ecake, be a steam choc cake or oven-heated. Something is wrong somewhere, but I don't know where. I've been trying for the recipes, change the raw material but I still cannot get the perfect one, the one that I have in my mind. My cake looks nice because of the topping (at least I'm improving my topping skill) but the cake sometimes taste too sweet, too moist.... I need more practice!

Breakfast

Healthy breakfast for pregnant mummy...

1. Cadbury's Hot Chocolate

2. Premium home made sandwich

3. Banana (err.. see the skin there?)

4. Yogurt drink

5. Supplement for Pregnant Mummy..

6. Last but not least... my craving Kit Kat..

Cooking Day

Ikan terbang and lobster from Sabah... what a cook!

Ikan Siakap (Terbang) 3 rasa

I'm not sure if I can find anything better than this in any simple (kelantanese?) seafood restaurant
Lobster with Sweet & Sour sauce..

seriously, for RM55 per piece (RM88/kg), we ate everything!!

Let's make a bread

Finally, I have successfully make a bread to go with my kaya... Actually, this is my second attempt on the same day... the first one... errr.. I forgot to take the picture. This one taste like a home-made bread that you can find in cafe' and hotel... it is definitely not gardenia type... But it goes well with kaya and planta and lightly toast!

Making homemade Kaya...

heat 1 and 1/2 cup of sugar until it caramelized. Add 1/2 cup of water to make it cool down a bit, then add 2 cups of coconut milk. Stir. In the meanwhile, beat 6 of whole eggs and 1/2 cup of sugar. then pour into the coconut milk mixture and stir until the texture turn into kaya. Add pandan leaf for a nice kaya smell....hmmm...

I really love the idea of back to basic. Plant and do your own food. It's not just more fun, but it's healthy and hygenic too. At least I know what I put into my stomach! What I want to do...

1. Learn how to bake a bread (to go with my own-made kaya..)
2. Plant herbs. I already have daun kari, serai, pandan ulam raja, pegaga, daun cekur, kunyit, daun kesum.. I need to add limau nipis, limau purut and chilli.
3. Learn how to make my own fertilizer (hmmm...)

There are times that I feel like my cooking is better than the restaurant's. Just because I know what I put inside.

Girls Nite Out...

It has been a long time that we don't spend the night out together... somehow the buka puasa event was so fun that it reminds me of those years when we were younger and free... I wish we could turn back the time....


what we had at planet hollywood....
loub had chicken salad... it was great, i like the chicken poppers
moi had a fish and chip... it was 'okayla...'
i had bbq chicken... it was so big that it loses its taste..
but the ceasar salad was great, also the brownies (any brownies with ice-cream taste great!)


then moi when shopping at isetan pre-sale... me and loub... we saw this special toilet by the roadside... it costs only 20 sen.. so we tried it... the door is like an elevator's door... we we inserted the 20 sen coin, the door opens automatically, the room is so clean and dry, with air-cond... everything is automatic! i would rate it 5-star toilet, but a bit lower class in technology as compared to Japan's... but one thing I forgot is to take it's picture...

wish to do this more often...
