Garden Wedding

Ha ! This humble little card explains all. "Garden Wedding" held at STAR. I made this card out of creamy's request! ;p This is an easy card. Buy ribbon, plastic diamond, beads, and ready-made roses, and glue everything on it.

Today is a memorable double celebrations for Jacky & Steph. Registration day + steph's birthday! I started to get worried when KK was raining since Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday! and Luckily not today! Today 's weather was excellent! so hot until I'm telling creamy, next time my wedding will be in "bikini" theme!


The only thing is, I feel so 'sakit hati' when I see how the waitress slice and cut the cake !They cut this lovely cake like chopping frozen meat! like I can cut it anyway I like. I really feel like going up and cut it myself ! I received lots of positive comments on the cake, they liked it, except, one telling me the cake is sweet! I think she meant the 'mango' is sweet! hahahaha, I considered tat was a good ones! I told baker to make the fruit as sweet as possible (by wrapping lots of newspaper to make the fruits really ripe)!

Ha I love the background of these photos, very green! and jackie shirt is very prettie! I'm looking forward to their wedding reception at Banker's Club Penthouse, KL in Nov !! Right Karen????

Choi Sum with Shallot meat sauce

Here's a plate of vege that we quite like to eat. All you need is some sliced shallot and meat ( I used chicken breast).

Ingredients ( for 2 -3 persons)
1 bunch of Choi sum (mustard green)
1-2 shallot (sliced)
500g ~ 800g chicken meat / pork
2 T oyster sauce for marinate


sauce
1 T oyster sauce
1/2 t dark soya
1 t sugar
1 cup water

1 T corn flour
2T water

a. Clean the vege and cut into small sizes.

b. Mince the meat and marinate with 2 T oyster sauce for half an hour. Mix all the sauce and put aside. Mix the cornflour + water and put aside.

c. Heat up pot of water, drop 1 T of oil , few cloves of garlic and sprinkle some salt ( not necessary). Blanch the vege until cooked, but not too soft. * Add in garlic will somehow keep away the green smell.* U can drop in some slice ginger too, but I dont like the smell. Take out the vege and drain the excess water off.

d. In a pan, heat up 1 T of oil, fry the shallot until soften, put the meat and stir fry a bit. Add in the sauce and simmer a bit until the water almost dried up. Now thicken the sauce with cornflour water.

Green Tea Cheesecake

This is a very easy-cheesy recipe whenever I 'm craving for cheesecake.

I wanted to bake a mocha chiffon , but what about greentea cheesecake? both my sis immediately gave me a Big Smile with Teeth over the mouth. ( this is how my boss called it "Crocodile smile")

Ha they liked this recipe a lot. Same goes to me. This is the 3rd time I baked the same recipe .

This time I increased the creamcheese to 280g ( original used 250g) . nice nice !

Original recipe : Perfect Macha Cheesecake

It is cotton soft. Now I am wonder, if it is nice if I eat it with red bean !

4 Seasons 1 Cake - Happy Mother's Day

miniature 4 seasons

You have your own personal hairdresser, I have my very precious personal baker !
This time, I wanted a personalized cake. I found a miniature cake ! haha, so cute when u see it's actually turned into a Real cake for my mom.

Thanks to L & D. I like how D pipe the cream! ( In fact initially I didn't know how to tell L to follow exact how the miniature being piped, so thinking a pearl piping will be fine) To my surprise! D knows their customer well ;D!

It has Banana + Mango + Strawberry + Kiwi on Top and sandwiched with Mango + Strawberry . ( my baker's concoction! ) ha ha and pure dairy cream.

One day, I will bring mom to ready some Banana at home as snack in flight , then travel to Hong Kong eat cold Mango sago dessert ! .... visit Strawberry farm in USA and lastly to enjoy Kiwi sorbet in New Zealand ! Happy Mother's Day !

Verdict : Mum tells one of my fussiest sis that, Hey I m sure you like the cake, the cream tastes like Ice-cream ! and mum actually finish up all the cream ! ( mum is the type tat normally dont take any dairy products at all!) and, what's more, mum says the cake very 'heong' and 'hou sek' ;D
