my old post

zero colouring pandan cake

The Title itself has 2 Interpretation

First, no artificial pandan green colour is added to my chiffon cake.

Second, my chiffon cake turned out 'zero' pandan colour too! I , erm... I learned something from this cake.

a. Try not to use omega-eggs in making this cake, because the strong orange yolk tint my pandan green away!

b. Must squeeze as much as green-extract from the fresh pandan leave as possible, not like me, I m too lazy, due to I dont have a pestle&mortar! (mum has broke hers!) and I am , doing a silly job in extracting the Green!! ( look at the picture). I put my leaves into the blender, then I lightly cook the leaves with the coconut milk, then trying hard to sieve them. A very tiring job and yet the results not so good! Next must get a pestle&mortar.

c. Now , I can tell that 101% those pandan cake selling in the stores are using artificial colour. It is really not easy to get a nice-green colour from a fresh leaves, so T u done a good job ! urs are really beautiful!

I replaced the coconut powder&milk with tin coconut milk. Again I realise use fresh coconut milk will be better.

The cake turned out soft & moist (moisture than my previous greenTea chiffon cake) despite in pale colour!

I baked at 160C for 50 minutes only instead of an hour. my oven is on the 'hotter' side... so have to reduce a bit, otherwise, the whole cake will be dry ! ( see, I learn another tips here)

School Bazaar, KIS

It was a great experience to visit the Kinabalu International School Bazaar on 28 Mar 09!

" Which one is nice ? "
I asked that Qn to the 4 young girls , and... I only remember the four children pointing at the samne chocolate muffins + CJ told me the cookies are good too!

After I paid, the little sweet english girl says " This chocolate muffins are really good" with her thumbs up!
hahaha, look at them! they're so cute !
and I guess the kids never tell lies, the choco M are excellent ! very soft & moist *wink*



Other than that, The burgers are good! good at value too ;D and I love the lagsane! I even asked if I can ask for take-away (with pvc container)! ha ha, the lady reluctantly says "OKAY, but not environmental friendly though".
I had two big slices of that! haha, I like it so much and u wont feel greasy-oily-puke-feeling after a slice! that's because they only layer the cheese on the most top of the pasta! ( ha! I learnt the tips now) as compared to the usual u eat in the restaurant, after the 3rd serving, u feel "errrr" stop.
and they used mince beef,tomatoes,mushroom, carrots! erm! I must make this one day.

Well, the bazaar sells lots of 2nd hand books & hand made jewellery! I bought one from a Korean Lady. very prettyee ;p

L, did you see the 2 kids on Tarzan custome ? haha, I forgot to take they pic, so beautiful ! ha ha

Green Tea Chiffon Cake with ..... ?

.....with chocolate chips.

The original recipe calls for cooked sweeten red beans. I can't get my red beans on Sunday especially. I got my 1st new 9" chiffon tin from Home & Garden at $15.90 (discounted price from $21.90 ) . and this is also the first time my chiffon cake done successfully. I used to make chiffon cake in a normal cake tin, and it always failed me. Looks like the tube-pan does the trick! or I used Pillsbury Softasilk flour ? ha ha ha (crapz)


Ingredients
[A]
6 egg yolk
20g sugar
2g salt
3 T honey
3 T olive oil
3 T milk
125g cake flour
1 T Green tea powder
1 t 北 海 道 奶 香 粉 ( I dont think I can get here, and I replaced with 1 teaspoon of milk powder)
3 T choco chips ( or cooked sweeten red bean)

[B]
6 egg white
1 t cream of tartar
50g sugar ( original calls for 70g, becaused I used choco chips, so reduced to 50g)

Steps
1. preheat the oven to 190C
2. Beat the eggyolk+sugar+salt until pale, mix in honey , and continue to beat until pale.
3. In a separate bowl, mix in milk + oil, and divide into 3 times , slowly whisk into Step 2.
4. Sieve the cake flour+green tea powder+milk powder , set aside.
5. Divide 2 times, slowly stir in the sieved flour into Step 3. Fold in the choco chips.
6. Beat the ingredients [B] until soft peak.
7. Fold in the eggwhite into the mixture 5. and pour into the tube pan.
8. Bake at 160C at 45-48 minutes (notes. every oven varies here, so take extra care on the cake after 45 mins and above).

Tips: Do not grease the tube pan. Turn upside down like the picture shown after bake. so the cake wont sink on itself to the bottom.

Joke : I was overly worried the batter will leak from the loose pan, so I wrapped protected with layer of aluminium foil. haha, looks like baby diapers!! ( The fact is, after I checked, the batter never leak! :D )

Turn it upside down until completely cool. Use a knife to run though the side and middle.

Coffee Cheesecake

I met Ganache at Pelangi! ha ha ha small world ? If we meet T, then can go for Coffee break already . how nice.
I made a twist from Macha Cheesecake
I substitute the green powder to 2 tablespoon of coffee powder. stir in the milk, and work along with the same recipe, method. results, I wanted to name this cake as "perfect coffee cheesecake" already. I still think the coffee powder not strong enough! should have buy different type of coffee, or add more !
I used Pillsbury softasilk cake flour. quite expensive as compared to the others. RM 12.95. but, my cake really soft as silk, but again when I recall, the previous macha cheesecake with normal cakeflour also soft as silk leh..


The cake was just nice after 1 hour 10 mins 160C of bain marie (lolz). I am so worried it get wet / uncooked / whatever / crack on top. ! ha! surprisingly no crack !! I m so happy again

Pineapple Fried Rice

This is one of my 'wanted' listssssssssssssssssssssssssss .... for long. I like fried rice, dont you? once a while , we want something easy & yet 'special'.

This is another very easy & delicious fried rice to prepare.

I went to Gaya street (Famous sunday market in Town) that morning, and was eagerly hunting for pineapple! To my surprise! those stalls are not having much pineapples leh! and also, mostly are as green as The Grinch! I dont want to pick a sourish pineapple for my rice. Luckily ah yung spotted a smaller version of ripe pineapple! very 'heong' (fragnant) and its only RM 2~ I like the colour of the flesh, so orangy-yellow, so vibrant .

Recipe = Greg&Nee's Pineapple Fried Rice

* Thanks Nee! "Hen Hao Chi" ha ha

I think the key ingredient here is the curry powder ( & may be the fish sauce)! It gives a 'kick' to the overall rice! so nice! so yummy! I only put 1 teaspoon, might afraid my sis unable to take too hot, but hey, next time I will increase more powder ;p

Now I m thiking, how nice if I have pot of steaming hot Tom yum Gung while I m eating my rice.

some pics from Noodle Hse at Pavillion, KL. this is a Thai restaurant. Very delicious/


big prawn

Then ended with a sweet dessert ; ) I dont like the mango glutinious rice in KK, very 'fake'. this is so flavouble, and guess what, the rice is still warm.

Cookie Monster - Sis Birthday !

"Me want cookie! Me want cookie! Om Nom Nom Nom
This cake is so-real for me. The silly eyes + the broken cookies messy around his mouth! & the Blue fur!! That is Cookie Monster!

We ( Me, and sis (ah yung) minus the youngest) grew up with Sesame streets! We watched SS after school ! our faces stick in front of the TV for SS show time! ha ha ha! I wonder why nowadays we don;t have such classic cartoon anymore? instead of fighting movie all around, "sponge bob", etc etc.

my little cousin, seng seng boy, he never watched sesame streets b4, and when he saw this cake, he said " why so many fur fur one? "

U see.... cuz he dunno this is COokie Monster!

It looks like green-magarita!


The drinks are quite good in the cafe. Food wise, more suitable for teenager's [tongue]
My fried rice with salted fish was perfectly matches its name! "salted" enuff. but it's quite 'wangi' the fried rice!lolz , sis chicken chop was so-so according to her.
