Colourful cookie

This cookie taste real good. It made from mix friut, chocolate chips and cronflakes.

Curry Mee

I cooked this curry mee using the ready made paste, so it really saved my time to get all the soup ingredients ready. I just need to boil the noodle, green bean, egg and taufu puff.

It tasted really good !! I love it!

Christmas Lunch

This year christmas, we had a couple came over for lunch. Instead of turkey, i baked smoked ham. The ham is quite big. I cooked several dishes as well...


Kuih Bangkit

As the holiday season approach, i wanna to make a kuih that remind me while i was at my country-Kuih bangkit. I remember that it tasted crunchy yet melt in the mouth once you eat it.

I sprinkle some mini mix color chocolate on the kuih so that it looks more for holiday. I was a bit lazy, i did not shape them into interesting shape, i just round them up and bake. Initially, i wanted to use the cooker presser to shape the dough, but it was not worked out well. So, i gave up.

The kuih was not turned out as good as i expected. It looks good, crunchy but not melt in the mouth. Conversely, it was a bit hard :-(  I will try again next time...


Vietnamese Spring roll and dumpling

I am not a big fan of vietnamese spring roll as it does not taste as good as the deep fry spring roll. But since i have all the ingredients, i decided to make the vietnamese spring roll this weekend for dinner.

Since my husband wanted to eat the dumpling so much, thus i made two dishes. Vietnamese spring roll and dumpling.. i prefer steam dumpling...but my husband like it better when boil with a pot of water, so he can drink the soup (a lot of flour inside the soup due to the flour that stick on the dumpling wrap).

My vietnamese spring roll does not contain basil leave, instead i used lettuce. The ingredients were shrimp, chinese sausage, rice vermicelli and lettuce. I also made a sauce to eat with it. The sauce tasted real good. It is similar to the satay sauce taste. I really miss it though! I felt touching when i first try the sauce, mmm... it helped me find back the long missing taste of the satay sauce. I am thinking i can make a satay and use the sauce for it.

Ham Steam bun

After the christmas lunch, we had a lot of left over ham. I thought of making the steam bun using the ham. Thus, i sliced the ham and chopped it with food processor. Then mix with vegetable, egg and some corn starch.

I did not "fa mian". I used the homestyle biscuit (ready made biscuit dough) to make the bun's skin. It was easy and quick. Now i can make steam bun whenever i feel like too, even after i get off from work :-) Sounds pretty good, eh??
