Wednesday- It's my turn to ramble..

Now that things have calmed down a little bit here, I have at least half an hour to sit down and start writing before Adam wakes up from his nap. 

We have arrived home safely on Monday afternoon and I was fully occupied with laundry, stocking up our staples and catching up with my routine life {-chores and chores} since then. I was only away for 4 days, and yet the holiday mood is still swirling around me. I feel like doing nothing these few days. The lazy me just wanna sit back and watch TV back to back.. I did cook and bake somehow, but naaaah.. nothing extraordinary..just the same O, same O..
Take this black pomfret fish for example. I marinated it with chili powder, turmeric, garlic salt and coriander flakes [?] just now.. and placed it back in the fridge. I think I'll fry it and have it with sambal kicap.. nyum nyum [and I think the coriander flakes will burn baby burn by the time I deep fry it..;p] See..the same old dish.. as stated in my menu planner. 

Yerp, I planned my menu and that's doesn't mean I'm an organized person. I skipped or repeated my menu sometimes he he I skipped meals that I don't feel like to cook that day..i.e. dalca, asam pedas.. and on the other hand, I keep on repeating the same menu for few days.. butter rice, chicken rice and oyakodon.. We never get tired of it... okay, I know, I know..I need to revise my menu planner.. hi hi I'll cut those high-ambitious-time-consuming-nobody eat-menu out of it.. 
..ok..where was I? I also baked vanilla cake last night, just to experiment new buttercream recipe I found from the net. The buttercream is super fluffy and I had to say it is the best buttercream recipe so far.. It has the right texture for cake decorating and as I was ready for it, the right nozzle for my intended pattern was MIA. sigh.. I placed the buttercream back into the fridge and sleep. ;p I badly want that 1M nozzle in my palm now.. 

Anyway, as for the chrysanthemum macs, most of the photos are with my husband. I'll try to upload it soon. InsyaAllah. ;)

Okay enough with the ramblings.. I need to check on that fish..

Saturday- On Family and Food..

Just a short note from me..I know you guys are missing me* here's a bucket* =p syok sendiri..ok move on..

1-FYI, we are at my parent house in Melaka now.. We're going to spend the long weekend here till Monday InsyaAllah.. .Most of my sisters are home now and ALL I could tell you is CRAZY!! As usual, the catching up sessions is a hysterical-floor-stomping session of laughter :D  and most of all, I really savor every dishes my Mak cooks us and had a big burp on each meal ;p  mom's air tangan is the best kan? masak sardine pun sedap..masak ape je pun sedap sgt2.. :)

2-We started our morning with a BIG brekkie [nasi goreng cili padi, kuih tulang a.k.a cakoi, roti bakar] and went up to helped my parents cleaning up their goat stable.. The stable is on top of the hill, hence the UP word..My parents have quite a number of Boer goats, it's like a zoo up there ;p and Adam went frantic [with joy] over them.. He gets to feed the goats and cleaning up their rooms..  cleaning up as pegang penyapu, kuis2 je ;p

3-I'm having a blast so far..but not with the weather!.. Huargh.. We're dealing with some rough nights..it's extremely hot and we all are sweating like h*ll.. Tonight alone, like a baby, I woke up every hour, whining on the hotness..At 3 a.m, I decided to quit my sleep and did blog-walking instead..  It's 5.58am now and the rooster is crowing like mad.. :D 

4-As for the goodies, I brought layer cake and chrysanthemum macs for my family. The durian layer is not a big hit.. ha ha My dad said it tastes more like lempok durian T_T The layers are lovely but not the taste, to their liking.. My taste buds said Okay je.. or do I have a terrible taste buds? O-O.. Still, I'll try to bake them other types of layer cake next time.. As for the Chrysanthemum Macarons, I'll update em on my next post.. InsyaAllah.. I leave you guys with the pic at the moment.. hi hi Still far from perfect tho.. T_T *blushing*
Chrysanthemum Macarons-an experimental recipe, I still haven't found the right filling to fuse them with..hmm..

Tuesday- Durian Soufflé

Remember my Chocolate Soufflé here? I made another suicidal soufflé attempt today, and I chose to make durian soufflé out of hundreds soufflé recipes available on Google. It' durian season, and why not joined the blogosphere durian fever festive kan? Most of the food blogs that I followed tayang resepi durian, and I wanna take part too.. ;D
The urge came after I saw one of "The F Word" episode this morning, where Gordon Ramsay made a Christmas pudding soufflé. He pointed out few tips while preparing it and I was eager to try it out. The tips are about the same as in Muchabout recipes and it's highlighted in bold below.
As for the durian flavor, I did plan to buy some durian today since I wanted to bake kek lapis 
durian for my parents. I guess I had to go out again tomorrow to replace it back. ;) or maybe whip another layer cake flavor for them. I never make layer cake before, so hopefully it'll turn out well *crossed finger*

The durian soufflé is creamylicious nyum nyum nyum and it wasn't sweet as I thought it would be. Nyum nyum.. Too bad husband is not around to taste it. Wait till you come home eh bebeh ;p 


Durian Souffle Recipe

{Adapted from Muchabout..TQ!}
Serving:3-4
Ingredients:
  • 4 nodes durian
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 Tbsp melted butter
  • 1/4 tsp cream of tartar powder
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 4 egg whites
  • Additional butter and sugar for ramekins

  1. Preheat oven to 375 F
  2. Smear cold butter over the inside of the ramekins, making sure that all of the surface is covered. This is the most important step. The batter will stick to any uncovered patch of the ramekin and you won’t get a good rise.
  3. Pour some sugar into the buttered ramekins, tilting and turning them until all the bottom and especially the sides are covered. Again, super-important that this step is done right. Place the ramekins in the refrigerator until needed, to keep the butter from melting.
  4. Scrape the durian flesh away from the seeds. Combine with the milk and melted butter into a blender, and blend until smooth.
  5. Into a large mixing bowl add the egg yolks and 1 tsp of the sugar. Whisk until smooth.
  6. Add the blended durian mixture into the egg yolks, beat until smooth. Set aside.
  7. Into another mixing bowl add the egg whites along with the remaining 1 tsp sugar, whisk until frothy. Add the cream of tartar powder, then continue to whisk until you get stiff peaks. In this step you are adding air bubbles into the egg whites which will expand in the oven and provide the lift for your soufflé.
  8. Scoop out 1/3 of the beaten egg whites and add it into the durian mixture. Mix thoroughly.
  9. Take half of the remaining egg whites and add into the now-lightened durian mixture, using a gentle folding motion to preserve the volume of air bubbles as much as possible. Repeat with the remainder of the egg whites.
  10. Take the ramekins out of the fridge and pour in the batter to about 3/4 full. [RibbonClown-I put the batter full, then scrape it flat] Do not overfill. Wipe any drips away from the lip, as these will stick and interfere with the soufflé rising.-important!
  11. Place the ramekins into the oven, and bake until the top is risen and golden brown, about 15-20 minutes depending on your oven.

Tasty Thursday- Heaven Chocolate Tart

My husband has been bugging :p requesting me to make seri muka a.k.a putri salat for him since last couple of weeks. Finally, I got the mood to make some last night, but the result was very very disappointing. It was all smooth until I made one big mistake by skipping a crucial step, and it ruined everything. I really thought I would pass this kuih easily hmm..but NO..cis2x I carried the frustration to bed and vowed to whip something that would make me feel better tomorrow... Hence the chocolate tart.. :)  
The taste is  there despite the look =P Adam smashed the tart edges with a measuring cup before the photo-shooting session T_T
Anyway, I love simple dessert. To me, this chocolate tart is one of them. Nothing fancy about it, no decorative what so ever, yet it look indulgently comforting. At least to my eyes and taste buds. I was so afraid to make fancy dessert that would end up like those seri muka.. thus, making this tart was  a perfect choice to chase that frustration away.. ;D I used few recipes as guidelines and voila! A delicious, sweet and super chocolaty tart in an hour!  Super duper yummy.. Okay-all the praises are just to make me feel better..please excuse myself for ferasan angkat bakul today he he 
The taste is absolutely heaven [hence the name] and for those who're having bad days, this dessert is a sinful yet comforting cure. :D

Okay, here's my own version of choc tart recipe. Simple and quick. 

Heaven Chocolate Tart
Serving: 8 medium slices
Yield: One medium tart pan 

For the crust;
1 and 3/4 digestive biscuits
1/4 cup cocoa powder
4 tbsp confectionery sugar
5 tbsp melted butter





For the filling;
100g butter
100g dark chocolate 55% 
100 g white chocolate 
50g nuttela
1/4 of condensed milk tin
Any nuts, if you like.. I don't have any at the moment.. so I omit..ade kacang2 lagi sedap , more crunchy..


For the crust-Ground the digestive biscuit, together with cocoa powder and sugar in a food processor or 'dry' blender. Transfer the mixture into a bowl, and distribute the melted butter evenly and mix it up. Make sure it's well combined. Press it on the tart pan firmly. Bake at 120C for 10 minutes or until the crust harden.


For the filling-Mix all the filling ingredients in a pot and stir it under medium low heat until well combined. Chill for few minutes, and pour it on the crust. Store it in fridge until it's set. Enjoy!


Anyway, I'm sooo into Adele nowadays.. beside Casey Abrams of course hihi..enjoy her clip below..Someone like You..

Adam cooks on Wednesday, instead of Monday...Potato Gnocchi with Tomato Sauce

Before this, I really thought the right way to pronounce gnocchi was "Nyoh-chi". The correct pronunciation is "Nyoh-key". Not my fault eh. I'm not an Italian :p
Anyway, since Adam loves to eat potato, and instead of serving him the same old mashed potato, potato wedges, fried rice with potatoes, just to name a few regular dish with potatoes in it, I decided to switch to potato gnocchi. The recipe looked simple enough to me, even though with slightly tricky steps inside. The golden rule is said to not overwork the dough. You need to knead it until it soft, but not to elastic state. 
Flour all over him
I had fun making this gnocchi with Adam. Well, I can say we both have a smooth gnocchi-making adventure in the kitchen. :D He helped me mashed the potatoes, blend the tomatoes, cut the gnocchi to small parts and entertained me with his drumming skill through out the time. he he it was loud entertainment okay! ;p
Flour on his cheeks...
Gnocchi are best-served with tomato sauce, melted butter and cheese, but you still have lots of options to vary the sauce. On taste wise, I would described the taste as a cross between potato and pasta, and sort of soft boiled dough. I like it..and Adam ate the whole bowl himself..;D
I made a small serving, an experimental serving, enough for Adam and I only. No recipe for it at the moment. I've to perfect my gnocchi and experiment it with different kind of sauce first huhu. Okay gtg, Adam is sleeping right now..and I'm supposed to fix our dinner instead of typing this out..hehe Ciao!

Tuesday- Char Kuay Teow wrapped with Eggnet

I love to watch cooking shows. They give me inspiration and ideas on how to vary my kitchen menu. Besides, I get to experiment with ingredients I'm not familiar with [or haven't touch] before i.e. passion fruits, vanilla beans, corned beef, watercress, just to name  a few. Do you guys came across with watercress before? I didn't know they exist! But I bought some last week and made 'masak bening' with it, boleh? hehe 

Recently, we subscribed ourself a TV cable and there's 4 food & lifestyle channels inside. Hurray! AFC, Food Network,TLC and BBCLifestyle-my favs. For the time being, I'm hooked to BBCLife channel, where re-runs of Masterchef Australia are shown daily. I love Masterchef shows, be it USA,  Australia, or the coming Malaysian one hihi. There are few cooking skills you can pick up while watching it.
Okay, let's talk about the char kuay teow  now. How I came across with this recipe? In MasterChef Australia, it's known that each contestant who won the challenge will enter a cook off dual with a well known top Australian chef in Celeb Chef Challenge. If the contestant win,he/she will place him/herself on the last top 3 spot. On one of the challenge, Brent dual with Chef Martin Boetz on the chef's recipe of Egg Net with pork, prawn, beansprouts and cucumber relish. I was stunned on the egg net lacy texture and vowed to try it myself. See it for yourself here
Then, I stumbled on Almost Bourdain's Char Kuay Teow with Eggnet. I love char kuay teow, and why not give this recipe a try since I was really lured into the eggnet.


To cut a long story short, I made this dish yesterday and my eggnet turned more into a fish net rather than an elegant lace hehe It needs practice, practice and lots of practice to get into that Chef's lacy eggnet level. I'm happy with my fish net for time being hehe And the Char Kuay Teow was absolute delish! I betrayed mr. Diet and had a double plate. Husband had it thrice.. ;P

Monday-Kuih Ketayap a.k.a Kuih Dadar

I was drooling over Almost Bourdain's Kuih Ketayap yesterday and quickly gathered ingredients needed to make this kuih after that. I decided to follow Ellie's recipe [I love the filling btw!] and twisted it with Bisous A Toi's Motif Dadar pattern. I love how the end result looked like and will definitely be making my kuih ketayap in this way again after this hihi. 

BTW, most Malaysian called this kuih as Kuih Ketayap and my Singaporean fellows called it, Kuih Dadar. Any other names for this kuih?? Anyway, my ones didn't do justice to both Ellie's and Rima's. Both's kuih look so nice and neat. I sort of kelam kabut while rolling it and the rolls were not as neat as both of them's. hihi My bad.. ;p Despite the looks, my husband loved it very much and ate 4/6.. while I shared the rest with Adam. :)

Friday- Iced Lemon Coffee

I'm more to a tea person..:) tea lady pun boleh hehe but I still sip a cuppa or two once in a while..

Tasty Thursday- Mini Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Topping

I received the worst or should I say rather shocking news ever on Monday. Upon hearing that, I couldn't stop myself from thinking about it and I somehow let it affect my routine life. I even let Adam watched TV on his own while I lost in my own world  in the kitchen! [I usually avoid doing so except if I really really had to]. Worst of all, I let it slip into my diet and I ate food I usually said no to, i.e. slices of WHITE bread with HEAVY Nutella/sugar-butter/honey spread, apple slices dip with caramel syrup, few mini Cadbury chocolate bars and many many more since then. 
And that's include this carrot cake with sweeett cream cheese frosting.. This carrot cake is fantastic. I ate the first slice right after I assembled it, another slice after the 'photoshoot' session, and as I sit here writing this down, I'm thinking about getting my third slice =p Blame on the topping.  I'm hooked to it's lemony  cream cheese topping, a great match to the  spicy aromatic nutty bites.
I had to stop doing this. This self destructing thing. I'm going to drag myself out of this house after this. After done writing this....After done with Adam's lunch..... And the laundry..... And the mopping.... After Zuhur perhaps... Will it rain? Perhaps not. 

Perhaps not going out at all...and eat more of these yummies? & throw the scale away!

Sunday- Lacy Pancake a.k.a Roti Jala

Roti Jala is a Malay word which literally translated as "Net Bread". Lacy Pancake sounds more elegant tho ;) I made this for makan-makan session at my sister in law place yesterday and I believed I made too many Roti Jala sapai tak habis makan T_T huhu [we also ordered a large batches of BBQ Chicken, and that's part of the reason why people weren't attacking my dish ;p]
Despite matching it with creamy chicken curry, I replaced it with extra creamy beef and potato curry instead. My waistline kembang kejap semalam sbb creamy sgt plak curry tu hehe  owh, I forgot to snap the curry picture. 
Anyway, I believe most of you know how to make this Roti Jala kan.. I used the recipe below, and made some adjustment since the batter is kindda too thick for my lattice mold. Whenever I used the mold, the first few rounds would always ended up with disaster. Instead of flowing out smoothly from the mold, the batter chose to drip and I have thousands of dot on my pan..sigh 
I have to adjust the batter then until I get the right consistency for the batter to flow down smoothly.  [Tips: Just add a lil more oil(if it's a thick natter) or flour (if it's a thin batter) and try again] Owh I am so an amateur cook..hehe
ROTI JALA “NET BREAD” OR MALAYSIAN LACY PANCAKES 
{Recipe taken from RasaMalaysia}
Yield: 20 pieces
serving: 4 person


Ingredients:

1 3/4 cup all purpose flour (1/2 lb) 
1 1/2 cup low fat milk 
1/2 cup water 
1 egg 
1/2 teaspoon salt 
3/4 teaspoon turmeric powder 
1/2 tablespoon oil Ghee or butter (to grease the pan)

  1. Sieve the flour and set aside.
  2. In a big bowl, mix all the ingredients well together (except the oil) and strain the batter.[I  used a blender to get a smooth batter] 
  3. Add in 1/2 tablespoon of oil and set aside. 
  4. Heat up a pan with medium heat and grease it with some butter or ghee. 
  5. Pour some batter into the mold and transfer the mold to the pan. 
  6. As the batter flows through the holes of the mold, make circular rounds around the pan to form the netty patterns. 
  7. After the top is set and done or when the bottom turns light brown, transfer the Roti Jala out and fold it into triangle shape. [ I choose to roll like a spring roll] 
  8. Arrange a few Roti Jala on a serving plate and add some curry chicken/beef chicken/durian sauce/maple syrup+butter on the side and serve immediately.

Saturday- The Napoleon Cake a.k.a Mille-feuille

This is the dessert I've been waiting for. This is it.The Napoleon Cake. It's one of the scrumptious food seen in Eat.Pray.Love and I was keen to try [eat] it since then. I love it. So did my husband. Adam? he's too young for this hehe..
the pastry cream is hiding somewhere between the layers
 DLLurpak has listed few "eat scenes" in EPL including this Napoleon cake in her post here. [psst..she's going to Italyyy soon for her gastronomic holiday!!!..buon viaggio!] 
cair kena matahari..the icing is melting..
Back on the napoleon cake, here's some info from Wiki on this dessert;


"The Mille-feuille (French pronunciation: [mil fœj], "thousand-leaf"), vanilla slice, cream slice, custard slice, also known as the Napoleon, is a pastry originating in France. The name is also written as "millefeuille" and "mille feuille. Traditionally, a Mille-feuille is made up of three layers of puff pastry (pâte feuilletée), alternating with two layers of pastry cream (crème pâtissière), but sometimes whipped cream, or jam. The top is usually glazed with icing or fondant in alternating white (icing) and brown (chocolate) strips, and combed. Alternatively the top pastry layer may be dusted with confectioner's sugar, cocoa, or pulverized nuts (e.g. roasted almonds)"

It's not that difficult to make this dessert. The steps sounds simple enough. With a store bought puff pastry, it's just a matter of whipping the pastry cream and assembling all of them together. I used From Yeast to Zest's pastry cream recipe and watched few experts assembling it on YouTube clips.  


Napoleon cake a.k.a Mille-feuille
{Recipe taken from From Yeast to Zest}
Please visit From Yeast to Zest blog for the full recipe. It's too long to paste it here hehe 
Note: 
1. If you're lazy enough to do the pastry cream, you can opt for whipped cream or jam with fruits like berries.
2. In order to get to get a nice flat top, make sure you squeeze the puff pastry between 2 baking pans while baking it... ..[refer to YouTube video above if you didn't get what I mean]


"Life is unpredictable, eat dessert first"..Have a nice weekend ;)

Friday- On Casey Abrams's Your Song...

I've been following American Idol, and one of my fav contestant is THE Casey Abrams, who almost out last week due to a bunch of  stupidos in Barrack 's land..<--stupidos as K.Lili's stupidos..hehe

Anyway, I always looked for him and Paul Mcdonald [as I said in my previous entry here] every Thursday and Friday night. But last night, my eyes hooked on him only. He performed that Elton John song with full command of his unique voice, and it was just so soothing and sooo casey.. I love it!! I even got goosebumps on the last high note[cam terer je haha].. He definitely manage to redeem himself last night,and hopefully he'll survive on tonight double kick-out.. Can't wait to see more of him next coming weeks.. 

And guess what..I'm listening to all his last performances again and again at repeat on YouTube playlist now..[I know, I know, I don't have an iPod yet, but someone has promised me to buy an iPad2 next month =p..okay out of topic.. hehe] eh I did have an iPod, the last time I saw it was....hmm.. 

So Paul, I'm soo done with you, unless you make a great comeback hehe then you'll get my vote again..[macamlah boleh vote pun..=P]
