Egg TARTS

Aloha peeps, trying to update something significant. Not really that significant, but it was a memorable night for me because I baked! LOL

It was my first attempt in making egg tarts. Was quite a successful one though the crusts were thicker and burnt here and there.

It might not look appealing for you but trust me, the filling was perfectly nice . I used 2 different trays, one without patty cups, hence the appearances looked different. The egg tarts in 2nd pic was nicer solely because the crust was thinner. Anyhow, it was a great achievement for me. Imma happy!

Below are some random pictures taken yesterday – my housemate’s birthday party xD

Playing mafia!

Exams are coming soon! shall startttttt revising! no haven’t finished my assignment yet T____T

Most creative & lovely birthday party ever

One fine day, my friends and I attended a “school theme” birthday party. It was potluck style, hence we were requested to bring our own dishes. Guess which of the dishes below was prepared by me?

 

Tadah, it was spinach tomatoes with cheese. Well well, the appearance might look a bit weird but it tasted good especially when it served WARM.

The pretty birthday girl/good friend of mine, BOEY!

Tau Min xD

Illy, does he look like SYLAR in the movie of HEROES?

Vahn, the nerd! xD

The lovely couple

The host, BOEY’s bf has prepared a special game for us to play. Before starting, we saw a lot of small cups filling with unknown liquid.

There were actually vegetable juice, soy sauce, vinegar, etc. It was yucky when you drank it purely, wasn’t it?

The handsome host, Kok Leong aka Boey’s bf

You wouldn’t imagine the game was like the “who want to be a millionaire” questionnaires. It was creative yet interesting. Basically, all the questions were related to Boey’s personal life. Boey’s bf must has spent much time on editing & creating this game as it required a lot of detailed steps in implementing the game.

Everyone was kinda shocked with the questions being asked. Not easy nor hard. Simply amusing

A cake was bought for this pretty lovely girl

Whoash! I laugh whenever seeing this pic. The fire was hugh!

 

Awwww. sweet <3

The lotus “fire cracker” was awesome with small candles lit on its “leaves” and there was birthday music emitted from the lotus

 

Last but not least, a group pic of all of us~ Had an enjoyable moment with all of them <3

Honey Cornflakes 4 ur honey & friends

Today I attended 2 birthday parties continually. At first, I have no idea on what to prepare for each of the party. After having a deep thought, I came out with Honey Cornflake which I ate it once and instantly fallen in love with it after that. Yeaaa :)

So, I bought the ingredients kinda last minute and I phailed twice in “baking” the cupcakes. Firstly, it was too soft as I have added water. Secondly, I forgot to take the tray out from the oven, hence, the cornflake burnt “cao dar”.

 

Although the process of baking was not that smooth at first due to trial and error coz first time mar & did it alone some more but in the end, I successfully made 39 cornflakes cupcakes ^^

 

Ingredients: Honey, Butter, Sugar & patty cups. That’s all :)

Don’t ask me about how many grams of each ingredient needed as I use the “follow the instinct” method.

1) First of all, heat the pot & melt the butter with honey & sugar. After that, pour the cornflakes in and mix them together. And yeaaaa, you are DONE.

2) To make it taste more OHM & 爽, put the mixture into the patty cups and heat it in an oven for just 4 MINUTES approx 130 celcius.

 

Note: water is not needed

 

 

Listen!!! Honey cornflakes is definitely a best choice as dessert and for social gathering as it is crispy, crunchy, sweet & FUN.

 

 

 

 

Must show a yeaaaa pose ^^

 

The most rewarding part was my friends from both parties like my honey cornflakes alot ^^ 

This motivates me to make more cupcakes and cakes.

Should I continue using “follow my instinct” method for others?

 

p/s: both parties are a memorable one :)

okie, gonna be a nerd tmr.  SUIMIN!!

BOOM cupcakes

My first attempt of baking yummy, less sugar & healthy cupcakes WITHOUT icing =D

The following ingredients & measuring are just a guideline.

You can be more creative & brave enough to do some experiments. Perhaps a BOOM cupcake also not bad =p

 

First of all, things that you MUST have

Baking tray

Patty cases (optional)

Oven

Your hands

 

Ingredients:

125g butter, softened

3/4 cup caster sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 eggs

approx 3 medium bananas

1 and a half cups self-raising flour

1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda

1/3 cup reduced fat milk

 

1) First of all, preheat the oven to 180 degree Celsius & grease the baking tray with melted butter if you are not using patty cases.

2) Next, beat butter, sugar, vanilla with electric beaters to make it fluffy. Add eggs one at a time & mashed banana too.

3) Sift flour & bicarbonate soda over banana mixture. Add milk & keep on beating the mixture until you think the surface is smooth and nice.

p/s: If you want to bake chocolate cupcakes, melt the cooking chocolate chips & mix with the mixture.

pp/s: For vanilla cupcakes, just put the plain mixture without adding any banana & chocolate chips. See, easy-nya =)

Yay…  Vanilla, chocolate & banana cupcakes

This is because the portion of chocolate has exceeded the flour mixture. BUT, trust me, the taste is equally delicious. Don’t judge a book by its appearance mar xD

 

Another WONDERFUL product

Look damn perfect isn’t it?

 

 

 

It became a donut ring after a few minutes =(

 

Reason: The inner mixture hasn’t cooked well yet.

Solution: Put back into the oven to let them have FOC sauna service for a few more minutes.

Consequence: Though appearance looks not really okay, but it is still yummy =D

  

I like banana, that’s why I made banana cupcakes. Besides, have to thanks my friend for teaching this noob beginner to bake :)

 

Tomorrow singing performance, yayyyyy!!

I accidentally injured myself today. It hurts T.T

Before attending Tzu Chi meeting, I ironed my shirt and pants. I put the iron on my bed to let the surface turned cold. But the clumsy me dunno y would put one leg on the bed when searching for my watch, and accidentally my leg touched the iron’s surface. At first I thought I was okay as I did not see any bruise or feel any pain. After a few minutes, I could feel the unbearable pain. I don’t know what to do at that moment and Colgate toothpaste was the only thing that appeared in my mind. Instantly, I applied on it. If this incident happened to my face, it would be really OMFG >.<

The bruise looked like being canned “kena rotan” by someone =.= Teacher, you are so mean! Why are you so hot tempered after scolding my shirt and pants? Nak release gas on my leg pulak.

Mummy, what should I apply on my skin to prevent having scar? T.T

Recently, I ate many delicious home cook meals which were cooked by my friends and neighbors. These instantly reminded me of Malaysia cuisine. Miss them lots.

Yesterday I helped Jonny (China) as an assistant chef xD

I did learn a few new techniques (Chinese style) on how to cook meats. Awesome!

We always hear about pictures worth a thousand words, aren’t we? It is indeed quite true for me. When things which are hard to describe in words or are shy to express, we can use pictures to express our feelings or thoughts that we always hide beneath our heart. Sounds complicated? I understand can adi, but then seriously I need a tripod to fulfill my tasks T_T

I would like to update some news for my loved ones especially parents and siblings as my internet connection is really unstable recently so can’t skype, plus my phone bill don’t know why increase till sibeh fast this month whereby I rarely use my phone at all.

Ok, cut the crap once more. I did mention about helping my friend to take some shots of their own products previously. Yea, here are part of them. There are colourful laptop covers which could protect your laptop securely. Wanna buy?

At first I was really blur on what and how to take this kind of pictures as the objects are static and dead. I can’t tell it how to pose some more =.= Somehow rather I figured it out after a few testing shots. Hopefully my technique was accurate.

Yea, I had the chance to eat “mian hua tang”

 

This was my first time preparing my own vegetarian noodle lunch rather than eating bread >< I want to save money. Save save save !!!

 

I just don’t know why suddenly I have the gut to donate blood not in M’sia but in Oz. lolz. Yiphee, it was my first time experience and I actually quite satisfied with it although there were some pains to be endured. I was kinda scared when suddenly 3 nurses came to my place and kept looking at my blood bag. Well, my blood flew really slow =.=

I thought that once I have finished eating their snacks, I can leave. But my friends told me that I should stay awhile to let my immune system or bla bla bla back to normal with the new changes. I did not know about that, so I requested to leave early. No wonder, when the time I was walking back home, I felt my whole body weakling. Once I reached my bed, my heartbeat just couldn’t stop jumping fast and kinda hard to breath. Anyhow, I am still in one piece =)

Well, today I went to rehearsal again. I did record some of the music but really lazy to edit and upload =p

Ada kala, saya berasa kekok sebab 98% adalah ang moi dan kau boleh lihat dari gambar di atas, byk members tu sudah berumur. Beberapa kawanku tak dapat tahan kerana ni bukan territory mereka, oleh tu, mereka quit. Saya bersyukur kerana masih boleh tahan sampai sekarang sebab minat yg dalamku. Mereka sgt friendly dan suka bergaul ^^

 

Oops, my finger has blocked the view.

 

At last, I know why I keep singing ITALIAN songs for every piece.The theme is “VIVA ITALIA”.

Well, as usual, my family and friends would not be around T_T

 

I just couldn’t stop buying my favourite fruit. Oops, spotted a small flower in one of the packets ^^

 

Well nowadays, when it is my turn to cook, I would cook vegetarian meals. Today I cooked “Prawn mee without Prawn”. lolzz… Because I was using the “prawn mee” paste. Anyhow, I don’t think it was “halal” for me as the prawn was still prawn although it was just a paste =.=

Wish me luck and hopefully I would have a great sifu soon. Let’s see how. *crossed fingers*
