Cupcakes for YaYa


Today is Yaya's birthday.

All these cupcakes are made for her special birthday. Those
chocolate cupcakes filled with butter icing and with some very
simple, simple design!

Swiss Roll (瑞士圈)

这是在男友的要求下做的绿茶和原味瑞士圈. 因为要用来招待远
从怡保来的朋友.

好长的时间都没做过瑞士圈了. 有接到的订单都是茶点聚餐用的
,我平时更不会特地做来吃.


绿茶圈做得并不好, 圈的时候蛋糕裂开了, 有点可惜也觉得不好
意思拿来招呼客人.


加了巧克力粒在原味瑞士圈做点缀, 涂上奶油再挤些鲜草莓泥,
我个人觉得很开胃.

I have made this "heavy" pizza for my lunch this afternoon. I

but in more quantities.

I bought a 300gm of mozzarella cheese since more than 1 week
for my seafood baked rice. Unfortunately, I can't found a fresh
seafood in the wet market recently maybe of the raining season.

腐竹白果糖水



最近的天气烟霾很重, 适逢侵流感来攻;自己本身的健康都是在很
不平稳的水平.

这款腐竹白果糖水是男友突然心血来潮提出的. 家里橱柜上尚剩
一罐薏米粒,他就说不如煮一锅汤水来兹润肠胃吧.说着说着, 又
加腐竹又加白果, 就煮成了这锅糖水了.

我从来不曾用白果来烹调, 只在外喝有附加白果的糖水时才有
吃到.而这一次,从剥开硬壳, 揉去外层的皮再去果蕊的繁复步
骤,真的不是一,两分钟就能完成的. 可是,当一锅你用心煮的糖
水出炉后, 家人吃得津津有味时, 你也会觉得安慰.



200gm 薏米粒
2 Litre 清水

1包 腐竹片, 浸软和撕小片
100gm 白果

适量冰糖做调味


1. 将清水和薏米粒以大火煮滚再转小火煮大约半小时.
2. 加入白果再煮一小时.
3. 将浸软的腐竹片和冰糖加入再煮多十五分钟就可趁热享用了.

这个方法是从我母亲的手学来的,或许其他朋友们也有不同的
煮法.

Ping Pei Mooncake (冰皮月饼)



虽然距离中秋节还有满长的一段时间,可是市区一些大型的超市已
开始售卖各式各样的月饼了.

今年, 我为自己作了一个新尝试 - 制作冰皮月饼.之前我总觉得冰
皮月饼的制作和烘烤的月饼都有一样的难度.其实并不然.在经过
烘焙好友 VY 的指示后, 我把制作月饼的工具准备好, 就开始制作
我的第一个冰皮月饼了.

从量秤材料到搅拌成团, 再把馅料包入后压出模型, 真的不难处理.

其实我本身并不喜欢吃月饼, 因为其馅料太甜了. 有的话只会选吃
馅料里的咸蛋黄.这个冰皮月饼我喜欢它的外皮在咬下去时有一种
QQ的感觉, 连阿姨, 和家人都喜欢吃.

Playing with dough again




过去的假日, 我把休息时间放在搓面团上.这一次小心翼翼的跟随
食谱的步骤,用面包机从面粉搅拌成面团, 再有面团分成小粒的甜
面包后,包入馅料再烤熟.



I've used this basic sweet dough recipe to make those buns. I
removed the dough into a big bowl from my bread maker after
it stopped kneading; and let it prove for about 45 minuets.

This sweet dough is really easy to handling, it won't be sticky
and also no need to sprinkle with more flour when you knead
or roll the dough on table.

American Ginseng Slices Chicken Soup (泡参片鸡汤)

我很喜欢喝这道汤, 因为它的味道很甘甜. 我平时只用泡参片来泡
茶并没试过用来煲汤,没想到这汤煲出来的味道是那么的好.

泡参的功用除了让 睡眠不足者降虚火;也能为免疫能力低或体质
虚弱提高免疫功用.

这道鸡汤用的材料不多也容易烹煮.

1 Kampong Chicken (甘榜鸡)
3 tbsp qi-zi (枸子)
10-15gm ginseng slices(泡参片),
2500ml water (清水)

salt (盐)

Method:

1. Clean the chicken and cut to pieces.
2. Soaked the qi-zi with enough water until soft. Drained.
3. washed the ginseng slices and drained.
4. Put all the ingredients into a pot cook at high heat until
boiling for about 10 minuets, turn to low heat and continue to
cook another 2 hour.
5. Add in salt to taste.

Basic Sweet Dough (基本甜面包)


自从有了面包机后, 发觉自己对制作面包有一点走火入魔了.前几
次做出来的面包都不是很满意,总是不明白问题的出处. 有时面包
烘出来太干, 太硬.

这一次我选用了 ALAN OOI 的面包食谱, 制作出来的面包还让我
满意的.面包冷却后切片, 里面是软软松松的.

其实这一次我一心以为会做不成功了, 因为在搅拌面团是我摆了
一个大乌龙 - 我竟然忘了加入牛油!没想到错有错着,这个面包还
做得有点像样哦!

Basic Sweet Dough Recipe:

Ingredients (A):
330gm high protein flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tbsp milk powder
60gm caster sugar

Ingredient (B):
1 no egg, grade A

120ml water
10gm instant yeast
(mix together)

40gm butter

Method 1 (for mixer use):

1. Combine ingredients (A) together in a mixer. Give it a slight
blend before adding in ingredient (B) and (C).
2. Add in ingredients (B) and (C). Beat till combined to form a soft
dough.
3. Add in ingredients (D) and continue beat again until to get a
smooth surface soft dough.
4. Place the dough into a big bowl, cover with a piece of damp cloth
and let it prove for about 45 minuets or double in bulk.


Method 2 (for bread maker use):
1. Pour all the ingredients (A) into the bread machine pan.
2. Add in the beaten egg.
3. Select the function with "Dough", and press "Start" to mix.
4. Gradually pour in ingredients (C), let the machine continue
to mix and form a soft dough.
5. After 20 minuets running of the bread maker, it will give you
an alert to add in the remaining ingredient. I have add in the
butter in this step. Let the machine continue to run.
6. You can let the dough rise in the machine for until the times up
after it stopped kneading. OR
7. You may remove the dough from the machine. Cover with a
damp cloth or plastic wrap let it prove and rest in a big bowl
until get in double in bulk.


* I never use this recipe for my bread making before and I've
selected the function of "White Bread", let it knead, rise and
bake in the bread maker.

and some sugar paste flowers or butterflies.

border all around.

marmite covered area.

9. Cut the dough into 4cm thick pieces; place them with the cut
side up onto a greased square tin.

Tomato Bean Curd Fish Head Soup (番茄豆腐鱼头汤)

星期日早上起得早, 争取时间到菜市兜了一圈.这一道豆腐鱼头汤
就是逛菜市的灵感了.

4块 白豆腐, 切块状
4粒 番茄, 切角状
1粒 榨菜, 切片
2粒 水酸梅
3-4个 中型鱼头
5片 生姜, 稍微拍烂
2.5L 清水

1. 鱼头洗净,滴干水.以适量热油煎黄.
2. 将全部材料下锅以大火煮滚后再转小火煮两个小时.

因为榨菜和水酸梅本身带有咸味, 这锅汤煮好后不下盐也是很入
味的.
