Onde-onde Bulat

Lama tak update blog.

Busy dengan rumahtangga. Hikhik.

Hari ni nak share resepi kuih onde-onde a.k.a buah melaka yg sesuai untuk minum petang.

Actually, this is a longgggggggggggggg overdue post. *penekanan pd huruf G yg banyak*.

Kuih ni dibikin masa puasa hari tu. Tapi hari ni baru ada semangat nak blogging balik.

Check this out.

Bahan-bahan:

1. Tepung pulut

2. Daun pandan

3. Pewarna hijau *optional*

4. Gula melaka or gula apong

5. Kelapa parut

6. Garam

Pewarna ni yg paling femes. Dapatkan di kedai runcit berdekatan. Kalau tak nak letak pawarna ni pun tak pe.

Ni lah penyedap dia. Ekstrak daun pandan. Rasa pandan & warna hijau yg asli. Just blend banyak2 daun pandan yg dipotong dengan air.

Adunan ni adalah tepung pulut yg dibancuh dengan sedikit air, ekstrak pandan & beberapa titik pewarna. Gaul semua sampai dapat this consistency.

Gula Melaka yg diketuk sedia untuk disumbat dalam adunan tepung tadi.

Adunan tepung yg digentel bulat & dah disumbat gula Melaka. Saiz ikut masing2. Ni yg bite-size. Ngap sekali je. *ni hasil kerjasama suami isteri*

Tuangkan kelapa parut di pinggan besar & tabur secubit garam utk enhance rasa lemak dia. Rebus onde2 tadi sehingga timbul & toskan. Golekkan di atas kelapa parut ni.

Onde-onde siap dihidang. Hari tu buat dapat banyak. Adalah rezeki jiran2 rasa air tangan suami isteri ni. (=

Senang je nak prepare kuih ini kan..

Sambal Belacan Si Dara

This is my uncountable attempt to make sambal belacan. Tengok mama dan makcik2 buat, so I imitate the protocols. Caranya sangat mudah. Bahan utamanya: cili merah, cili hijau, cili padi (ikut tahap kepedasan masing2), sebiji bawang merah dan belacan. Mula2 goreng tanpa minyak, tumbuk dan siap!

Main Masak-masak

Last Saturday, i went to Popular Book Store. My mission was "Nak perabih voucher buku yg berbaki RM100!". The fact is, it was difficult to find any textbooks that related to my research scope. Memang tarak! Unless, i go to Kinokuniya or Borders. Last time when I went to MPH, sungguh menghampakan sebab textbook yg ada too general. In the end, i end up dengan borrow textbook hardcover dari library. Jauh lagi best sebab tak payah nak berebut dengan student lain plus buku2 hardcover semuanya baru. Yahoo!

Finally, ni lah hasilnya allocation baki rm100 tu i beli stationery (stok setahun) dan buku resepi ni. Taraa... En tunang suggest i beli buku ni. Lepas kahwin ni selama 365 hari berikutnya, setiap resepi ni i kena masak untuk dia la kan... Hekhekhek =D

Laku keras = best seller? Macam direct Google Translate je..

Dan pada malam itu, i dengan rasminya telah mencuba salah satu resepi dalam buku tu yg bertajuk "Nasi Goreng Cina". Sedap sampai ayah bertambah2. Huehuehue >_<

Lepas ni, eh.. lepas kahwin nanti, insyaAllah buku ni berguna untuk kesejahteraan keluarga. Hehe. Ahkak suka main masak-masak ni dek non.. Ok bai!

Oh, Dessert Buffet!

Drooling kan? Sangat teringin untuk ada macam ni untuk kenduri kawin nanti. Untuk large crowd tak sesuai sikit. So, kalau diizinkan, murah rezeki, bajet tak lari, berhasrat nak buat mcm ni. Tapi untuk jamuan akad nikah je. Crowd pun tak seramai majlis sanding kan.. Sambil browsing, sambil berangan, nak buat sendiri. Bukan susah pun, sewa je choc fondue tu. Boleh celup2 pisang, epal, marshmallows, biskut jejari. Untuk dessert lain boleh tambah, cheese tart, butter cake, dadih. Pic sources: Google, Weddings by Sher.

Yumss!

Ini adalah choc fondue/choc fountain

Confirm budak2 je penuh kat sini

Makansutra: Thai Food Place

Wanna feel Thailand? You don't have to travel there. Because at Tera Thai Fine Dine Restaurant, you can enjoy scrumptious authentic Thai cuisine. You'll be amazed by the serene ambiance and the deco. Plus, the hospitality is good. Situated at Jalan Abdul Samad, Johor Bahru or 10 mins away from Singapore-Malaysia Causeway.

Sorry for the long overdue post. Last December, me and en RSM had a chance to dine in at the finest Thai food place. We did enjoy the tangy tom yam soup, with red curry Thai prawn, sweet-sour-spicy- sea bass and mix vege with oyster sauce. Very salivating huh?! En RSM won a voucher worth RM100 including spa treatment at Singgahsana. But we decided to substitute it with meal voucher at Tera Thai. Boleh makan banyak2! Yay! Oh yes, the operation hours are from 1130-1530 and 1730-2230 (open daily). Yang penting restoran ni halal tau. Enjoy these photos!

The Most 'Sempoi' Fish & Chips Ever!

Here’s my Sempoi Fish & Chips for my dinner last night. This is the easiest, simplest yet the yummiest a yummy recipe. Forgive me for being sgt ‘rajin’ utk masak. Numbered (clockwise); 1- Vege salad – I used cucumber, carrot, ripe tomato, cilantro, a dash of lime juice, a sprinkle of white pepper, and a spoonful of mayo (if u are on diet, pls reduce the amount of mayo). 2- Potato wedges – Boiled first and sauté with a pinch of salt. 3- Fish fillet. Thawed and fried in melted sunflower spread (I didn’t deep fry my fillet). Fish fillet ni from Pacific West. Mahal jugak.. Ada 3 fillets/box.. Harga dah RM12. Patutlah Fish & Chips kat kedai mahal dari Chicken Chop. So far, it was edible. Masak cincai2 je... Janji perut diisi. ^____^ Or adakah saya anak gadis yg kurang rajin?? Heheh

Cooking Therapy

Last week berhempas-pulas menganalis data.
Naik juling tengok nombor, graf. Apa nak buat... Sendiri punya salah!

Lain kali dapat data terus analyse & terus buat summary. *self-reminder*
Berasap2 la cari proof utk support data.

So, I decided to hit my weekend with a cooking therapy.
Terapi yg tenangkan jiwa, mengenyangkan perut dan menyukakan hati.. (=
Saya buat pancake for breakfast pagi Sabtu. Bersemangat masuk dapur, pakai apron, then start working!
Ni la resepinya...

Pancake with Maple Syrup and Caramelised Banana

Ingredients:
Wheat flour
Sugar
Salt
Full cream milk
Melted butter

Baking powder
1 tsp of vanilla essence
Egg
Maple syrup (beli kat Can hari tu..)

*bahan2 tu ikut sukatan masing2*

Garnishing:

Fresh/frozen fruits (berries/kiwi/mango/banana)

Raisins

Nuts

Cream/yogurt

Methods:

Beat an egg with sugar until foamy, add a pinch of salt, baking powder, vanilla, milk & melted butter. Stir the mixture and finally, add your flour. Mix well and your batter is ready!

Actually, nak sedap pakai buttermilk. I couldn't find any, so full cream milk pun jadilah Joyah!

Heat your non-stick pan. Put some butter on top. Use a ladle to pour the batter. Wait until it turns golden brown (2 mins). *Jangan hangus!*

Drizzle some maple syrup, garnish with caramelised banana & blueberries, lastly, sprinkle with chunks of walnut. Voila! Your pancakes are ready! And dig in!!!!
