Try again

The other time, when I did this glutionus rice kueh (Png Kueh), I add in too much water and it's just like eating very soft rice "chiak nuen png"... Ha! ha! my husband does not like this word.... very sensitive.....

Made and give some to my part time helper and send some to mom for her to try. Both of them like it. Worth the effort of making. Still, I must twitch the recipe especially the seasoning to made it perfect.

Family's favourite

This along has been my family's favourite, and this has been a long time, I have made this, gula melaka agar agar.

For this I was being taught to use strip agar agar, cut, soak and measure, If you get a bowl, measure 3 bowls of water or liquid to get the texture, for me I always use 2 1/2 bowl. I use estimation on the sugar, but this time round, it's was a little bit too sweet.

Chiu Zi....

This is also one kueh, Kueh Bingka Ubi that I did ages ago... reminising it. This morning went to market to buy some fresh grated tapicoa from the coconut seller.

I forgot what is needed, I went to buy grated coconut as well, but in the end, I did not use, was thinking of making kueh kosui, one of my favourites too.. but just too lazy ... I hought pandan leave also... juz sometimes cannot remember what is needed and impronto just want to made and am afraid that one item is short and have to go running.... One of those things.

Puffing Away

Yesterday, made some cream puffs with the intention of bring over to dinner for my nieces, couldn't chilled he puffs because there's is some problem with my fridge, what a day, I passed it to my neighbour to be eaten.

I even have to take some ice from my neighbour to whip the cream.

This recipe was given by my friend, D, to test it out. Hers is suppose to be crispy, but I didn't let it try in the oven because I have a second batch to bake. I feel that my oven's temperature is not even, when baking for 10 mins, one corner of the tray, the puffs are starting to brown, open the oven and rotate. Saw the puff starting to deflate, there goesw my heart sinking, luckily a few minutes, the puffs started to rise again..yay.... I was happy, not an effort wasted.

I use a long nose nozzle to pipe the custard inside the puff from underneath.

Thanks D for the recipe.
