Buns

 I noticed that my husb did not have his breakfast this few days although i had told him that there are some baguette in the freezer which he needs to toast it maybe he was lazy to do it. He used to have some bread for breakfast before he left to work. 

Since I'm off today to take care my daugh. I decided to bake some buns or rolls so he can have it for  breakfast tomorrow. I gotta finish the low fat milk which had kept in the fridge for some time. I used my previous recipe Choc-chip-raisin-bun. I bake few hot dog buns and i reserved another portion of dough for rolls. Initially, I thought of bake Cinnamon rolls but afraid that my family does not like the cinnamon taste. So I decided to spread the Nutella jam on the dough and add some raisins and walnuts on it for the filling. It tasted delicious I like the chocolate taste and got walnut to chew.

Almond Puff Pastry



I always like to buy Almond Pastry Puff every time when i shop at Sogo.It is cost about RM3 plus in one pack about 6 pcs if i'm not wrong. I came across this recipe from Table for 2 and it was so easy to bake it. Not much ingredients required here. Some of these pastries does not puff up well as i was in a hurry to picked up my son and have to prepared for the dinner. I sprinkle not enough sugar on top of the pastry which was a bit flat. Overall taste very good and crunchy.

Bak Kut Teh



I went for lunch with my colleagues yesterday at Mid Valley. Just newly opened at Mid Valley and it called Bao Xiang, it was a franchised outlet from the famous Bak Kut Teh in Taman Connaught. 

The price is not cheap though, it costs RM12  per each bowl. The soup taste is very good and the pork texture very soft. I still prefer the traditional big claypot Bak Kut Teh with some veges in there. That one just meat only but you have to order vege separately.


Fried Meehoon by AMC



I cooked fry meehoon last week for dinner by using AMC pot. I'm not good in frying meehoon by using wok or should i say i never try to fry with wok. This AMC pot very convenient and easy. Just dump all the ingredients and put sauce inside the pot and cover just that's it. So easy.

Watercress with Carrot and Water Chestnut


I've been lazy in posting blog recently. Just being lazy. I have thought of baking an Orange Chiffon Cake today, I've even squeezed the orange juice and segregate the egg yolks and egg whites, but I really "tak larat" to do it so I used the eggs to make poached eggs and orange juice for my breakfast. I toasted the baquette to served with poached egg. (Should take photo but never thought of that maybe tend to be lazy) :oP

I boiled watercress again on last week this time with carrot and water chestnut. Very tasty and not too sweet cos i omitted brown candy from the original recipe. After boiled for 2hrs the water chestnut still crunchy.

Here is the recipe;
300g watercress
300g lotus root (I omitted this one cos forgot to but lotus root)
12 nos water chestnut (flatten)
30g red dates
150g carrot (cut into triangles)
200g brown candy (i omitted)
3 litres/3000ml water

Method:
Boil water in the pot, once boiled. Add in watercress and the remaining ingredients. Cover, cook over a lot heat for 2 hours. Serve hot.

Fried fish with tomato gravy

This is one of my favourite dish which I learned from my mum. I like her minced meat and potato with tomato gravy as well as this dish. Before i know about cooking i always thought she put ketchup for this dish which i was wrong :oP. Now i know she just put fresh tomato and not ketchup. I like to serve this type of gravy with rice for kids.

Simple recipe:
Mackerel Fish
2 tomatos
1tbsp of ginger
some garlics
some salt
1tbsp sugar

Marinate fish with some salt and apply cornflour to fry. Put aside.
Put oil, stir fry garlic and ginger, add tomato
Add water just to enough for gravy with little bit of cornflour
Finally add in salt and sugar to taste. Once done pour the gravy on the fried fish.
