My Virtual Baking & Learning Diary

New York Cheese Cake

2009-05-04T11:01:00.007+08:00

Hi everybody, it has been a long time since I last updated my blog.

All these while I still continued doing some baking here & there, but I was too lazy to update ...ha...ha...sorry!

1st May was my nephew Wei Jhin's birthday...he requested a cheese cake, so I decided to bake him the New York Cheese cake. Recipe was taken from http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Chantals-New-York-Cheesecake/Detail.aspx

Although my chocolate ganache was quite messy, 1st time doing... but all of us enjoyed this cake very much . My nephew actually wanted to decorate the cake with his cars & aeroplanes, but no space, so he decided to arrange them by the side.

The texture of the cake is very fine & creamy...it makes you wants to eat more......

Baked Cheesy Prawns & Japanese Mua-Chi

2009-02-17T09:20:00.007+08:00

星期五我煮了500克的芝士烤虾，家人吃不够。星期六原本要买大只一些的虾，到了Sheng Song活虾正在offer...非常新鲜，所以买了一公斤。女儿看了这一大盘的虾，拍手叫好，吃得开心极了！谢谢Auntie Irene提供这么棒的食谱!

之后也做了Michelle的Japanese Mua-chi. Texture is super soft. 裹了花生芝麻和黑豆沙。经Michelle一提才知之前我做的mua-chi都microware太久了，所以不够软。在此非常感谢Michelle的指点和食谱。

Kueh Bangkit, Pineapple Tarts, Biscotti & Fried Poh Piah Skin

2009-01-19T10:30:00.017+08:00

看了Mabel, Nicole, Margaret 和May做的Kueh Bangkit, 让我真的好想再试一试（去年做不成功）。于是摇了个电话给Auntie Irene, 她很热心的向我讲解了一遍。两天后我就战战兢兢的做了这Kueh Bangkit。老实说，这Kueh Bangkit还真的好多功耶！忙了一整个上午，做了五百多粒，可是还没来得及装罐，就给孩子和侄儿们一个接一个的吃剩了两罐。问他们好吃吗？他们只是猛点头，因为嘴巴没空回答。。。看他们吃得那么开心，我也好开心。Kueh Bangkit真的好香脆，甜度刚刚好，吃了让人停不了。。谢谢Auntie Irene的食谱和讲解。

之后我也做了黄梨酥，杏仁片Biscotti和酥脆炸薄饼皮。

刚炸好的薄饼皮。。

沾了细砂糖的炸薄饼皮让人吃了会上瘾唷。。。

又香又脆的杏仁片Biscotti ，也是老公的最爱。。因为最健康，没有牛油！

这就是我这两天的收成品，看起来并不多，可是我一个人已经忙疯啦。。哈。。哈。。

Pizza, Chocolate Banana Muffin & Chicken Wings

2008-12-29T15:58:00.023+08:00

These are the few things that I made for the past few days. Chicken & Prawn Pizza, Chocolate Banana Muffin & Roast Honey Chicken Wings. All these are my family's favourite.

Crispy thin crust, top up with chicken meat, prawns, red, green & yellow capsicums, big onion, tomato, with lots of mozzarella cheese. You just can't resist it. Although my pizza shape is a bit unusual (no proper pizza pan), but the taste is heaven....

Yummy Chocolate Chip Banana Muffin. The crust is crunchy & fragrance, soft & moist in the middle....mmm.....nice!

Simple & yet delicious Roast Honey Chicken Wings. You should give it a try. Simply marinate the chicken wings with oyster sauce, sesame oil, honey & some dark soya sauce, roast them till golden brown...voila...bonappetit...enjoy!

Sweet Buns, Fried Bee Hives, Yam Rice

2008-11-24T11:46:00.021+08:00

It has been a long times since I updated my post...sorry! I have moved into my new place one month ago. Everything is almost settled down. Last weekend my children requested for sweet buns, so I managed to produced 2 lot of sweet buns with hot dog, butter sugar & red bean paste. My 2 little one just can't stop eating when the buns freshly out from the oven. So happy that they enjoyed them so much.

昨天女儿又有要求了，说想吃炸蜂窝，所以把厨房笔记的食谱挖出来做了这香脆的炸蜂窝。

晚餐也煮了厨房笔记的芋头饭，做法简单又美味可口，真是一级棒！谢谢Aunty Irene 的食谱！:)

Abacus Seeds & Birthday Cake

2008-09-02T15:27:00.005+08:00

This is the second time I made this very tasty abacus seeds. My family members like it very much. The abacus seeds has very nice texture, soft & chewy.

Because last Sunday was my birthday, my girl was asking me to bake a cake, but i was extremely busy with the selling house matter. So at last settle for this simple stir & bake Low fat moist carrot cake. Recipe was given by May. Thanks May! The cake was indeed very moist, but because it was made from wholemeal flour, it was not very appealing to kids ..ha..ha... it was well received by my colleagues though. My cake is not very pretty....sorry!

Strawberry Mousse Cake

2008-06-24T09:47:00.003+08:00

星期天为了庆祝家婆的生日所以做了Strawberry Mousse Cake. 蛋糕的旁边有点不完美，但整体上还可以! 大家看了蛋糕都很惊讶哦！说是我买的! 呵呵呵。。谢谢Auntie Irene 的食谱和教导。

Cheese Cake

2008-06-16T10:36:00.005+08:00

昨天做了Cheese Cake with sponge cake base 庆祝父亲节。这也是我第一次尝试做cheese cake. 整体上蛋糕还OK。。。可是我的piping真的很烂。。字体全在发抖。。哈哈。。因为实在是少练的关系。
为了不让自己吃那么多cheese cake，所以把蛋糕分出去，拿了一半给家婆，其他的带来公司和同事分享，独胖胖，不如众胖胖嘛。。哈哈哈。。很坏哦。。。。

Cappuccino Mousse Cake

2008-05-12T14:01:00.006+08:00

Making Cappuccino Mousse Cake for the 1st time to celebrate Mother’s Day yesterday. The sponge cake that I baked end up was slightly smaller than the cake tin. Cake tin size is 20cm, baked 22cm cake, don’t know what went wrong…sighhh…. :( Even though the side of the cake is not very nice, but it definitely tastes great. Thank you Auntie Irene for explaining patiently to me the steps of making this cake through phone. I have disappointed you this time, but I am sure I will do better the next round. Sorry!

又Q又软的笋馃

2008-04-21T10:54:00.007+08:00

昨天做了这美味的笋馃。笋馃皮是用“米台目” 杆的。馅料里有沙葛，红萝卜丝和鸡肉丝。蒸了第一轮，女儿就迫不及待的拿了一个来试吃，吃了两口，她说：”This is the nicest kueh that I have ever tasted”，之后，连续又吃多两个。看她吃得那么开心，我也觉得好满足！
老公尝后也说好吃极了。他说笋馃皮可以杆厚些因为馅料很够味，吃不倒馃皮。做了500克的米台目，原本还以为晚餐有着落了，怎知还不够呢！哈哈。。笋馃制作。。成功。。Yeh。！非常感谢Auntie Irene的指导!

65°C Wholemeal buns

2008-04-15T13:48:00.009+08:00

At last my 65°C wholemeal bun is successful. Have tried for many times, but the results were not satisfactory. Yesterday’s bun was the softest ever that I have made. Feel REALLY HAPPY about it.
Thank you Auntie Irene for the recipe. (To Dorene – my loaf is still unsuccessful, 真是伤脑筋啊! I will keep trying).

Sorry, the buns colour is not so nice. (I didn't brush with melted butter). Try to consume less fat.
Auntie Irene will sure to say "哎哟，这么难看" again ...ha...ha...

Wholemeal bun

2008-03-19T11:17:00.006+08:00

前两晚下班后就赶回家做全麦面包。这是我第一次做全麦面包。虽然忙至晚上十点多，可是还是觉得很开心，很满足，因为我终于可以自制健康的全麦面包了。刚烘好的面包是外脆内软的，隔天面包还是一样的柔软，我们一家都爱上这全麦面包了。在此我要好好的谢谢Dorene 和Auntie Irene 提供的食谱，感激你们无私的分享。

Coffee Cup Cake

2008-03-13T12:52:00.008+08:00

昨晚做了厨房笔记的咖啡小蛋糕，因为家里没有香兰香精和椰浆，所以把它改为咖啡口味。用Optima flour做出来的蛋糕的确与众不同，就如

Auntie Irene 所说的，蛋糕非常松软，像绵花一般，孩子非常喜欢。谢谢Auntie Irene提供的食谱。

Banana cake

2008-02-18T14:06:00.003+08:00

这是Mind your body的Banana Cake recipe. Mmm...在烤时，整间屋子芳香四溢。蛋糕很松软，口感很不错！食谱的份量很小，只有一个loaf tin而已，所以蛋糕不到半天就解决了。

新年糕饼

2008-02-05T13:13:00.001+08:00

趁着新年前的最后一个周末赶紧做了入口即化的黄梨塔，香酥的杏仁饼干和香香脆脆的乳酪饼干送给妈妈和岳母一家人（之前送给同事的忘了拍照）。虽然饼干看起来并不多，可是一个人做还顶忙的因为老公没空帮我。不过做好了很有满足感。谢谢Auntie Irene的食谱。
在此，我祝大家新年快乐，心想事成，大吉大利，合家安康，发大财。

肉干

2008-01-21T10:34:00.001+08:00

新年总少不了肉干。星期五接到了Auntie Irene 的肉干食谱，兴致勃勃，周末赶紧尝试做。哎哟哟，真是一踏糊涂，首先是搞错塑胶袋的尺寸，拿去晒时，蚂蚁又来光顾，不一会儿太阳也躲起来，没法了，只好用凤扇来代劳，要反面的时候又觉得太簿，拿不起来，只好把它对折。由于第一次做，没经验掌握火候，烧焦了不少。还好，做出来的口感和味道都很棒。Auntie Irene, 谢谢您的食谱，对不起, 做得不好，让您失望了。

Kueh Makmur & Pineapple Tarts

2008-01-21T10:16:00.000+08:00

随着新年的到来，做了kueh makmur 和 pineapple tarts 让同事们品尝。大家都吃得津津有味，不亦乐乎。第一次做kueh makmur, 有点战战兢兢，不过，一切都很成功。谢谢Auntie Irene 的食谱.

Pineapple, lime & dragon fruit enzyme harvest

2008-01-21T09:30:00.000+08:00

First time trying the dragon fruit & lime enzyme. Both of them taste quite nice though the dragon fruit don’t have much liquor taste, but taste more like Ribena.

Enzymes

2008-01-04T15:16:00.000+08:00

Hallo...hallo...大家好吗! 祝大家新的一年里有更多的收获，心想事成，万事如意。因为工作太忙，已经一个月半没update blog了，真的不好意思。趁着新年一月一号没上班，赶紧做了三种酵素，酸柑，龙珠果和黄梨。酵素也缺货了一个月。女儿一直吵着要喝酵素...嘻嘻..再等多11天吧!

耶。。我的Little Buns出炉啦！非常松软，非常香，入口即化。用了Cheddar Cheese和绿豆沙做馅料。牙牙学语的儿子吃了说“Delicious”，我还是第一次听他说这个字呢！真神奇，还用得恰到好处。。哈哈哈。。女儿更好笑，一个接一个的吃。。一面吃一面说。。I can’t stop eating。。她总共吃了八粒小面包。I think I got to look after her diet properly, if not, she would becomes a 小胖妹 in no time…ha..ha..ha… 谢谢Auntie Irene的指点。

香脆莲藕片

2007-11-16T17:13:00.000+08:00

这就是Michelle介绍的香脆莲藕片。香香脆脆的，好吃耶！做法又简单，切片，风干，炸脆即可，无须调味料。若你喜欢炸薯片，这应该是较健康的选择吧！不过，也不可多吃噢！Too heaty! 谢谢Michelle!

青苹果酵素收成

2007-11-15T10:17:00.000+08:00

Havest my green apple enzyme last Saturday, but forgot to post up till now. Total amount havest was 1.75 liters (above photo was taken after we consumed for the first time, forgot to take photo before that). If compared with grapes enzyme (about 3 liters), the amount havest seems not much. Anyway, the enzyme taste great.

椰香小公主

2007-11-13T13:52:00.000+08:00

第一次做这香兰口味的椰香小公主，还算成功，只是颜色浅了点，因为只用天然的香兰叶汁，味道和口感是一级棒的唷！同事说很松软，好吃耶！谢谢Auntie Irene的食谱！

失败的甜甜圈

2007-11-13T13:22:00.000+08:00

哎哟哟。。。这就是我失败的甜甜圈。不知哪出错，整个donut soaking with oil, 很硬，一点都不松软。结果另一半拿去烤，一样硬，哎。。。不过搽了一些巧克力酱在上面，还可以啃。。。女儿好失望 ：（

随着圣诞节的脚步慢慢的逼近，便到Auntie Irene那学做了黑森林蛋糕。Sally 和Edna 也一起来学。哇，我们花了瞒长的时间做了这个漂亮的蛋糕。第一次做蛋糕装饰，战战兢兢的，还好有师傅在，在她细心的引导下，美丽的蛋糕终於完成了。谢谢师傅！

来来来。。赏你一片！慢慢享用吧！

Sweet Bun & Chocolate Pudding Cup Cake

2007-11-05T15:28:00.000+08:00

昨天真是忙透了。Making Sweet Bun & Chocolate Pudding Cup Cake at the same time. 从早上11.30am忙到傍晚6pm才完成。手脚是慢了点，不过成绩还算不错。女儿一口气吃了三粒面包。做了香肠，巧克力，绿豆沙，花生和cinnamon + raisin口味的甜面包，第二次做比较得心应手，挺有满足感的。
我的巧克力布丁蛋糕终于成功了。其实上个星期四已经尝试做了一次, (家人怀念Auntie Irene的Chocolate Torte, 所以做了Chocolate Pudding Cup Cake来消消Chocolate Torte瘾)，结果失败了，不知为何就是不能熟透。师父也不知甚么原因。不甘心，昨天又做啦！耶！终於成功了！同事吃了也赞不绝口。Yummy…Yummy…

Chocolate Torte

2007-11-05T14:18:00.000+08:00

这就是Auntie Irene热情赠送的Chocolate Torte. 我和女儿说当你把叉子叉进Chocolate Torte时，你会看到惊喜唷….当巧克力酱往外溢时她的眼睛睁得好大噢…我们一家笑成一团。好开心，真的要感谢Auntie Irene的慷慨赠送，带来了许多欢乐。老公说“very yummy, anymore? Do you know how to do?” 我说“sorry, no more, secret recipe lah…”

青苹果酵素

2007-10-31T16:21:00.000+08:00

On the third day

After top-up

用了25粒的青苹果，10粒的青柠檬和1kg的冰糖(may be can reduced a bit, not very sure, first time making apple enzyme)做了以上的青苹果酵素。原本还以为很容易做，怎知那不争气的削果皮刀这么钝，害我用了一小时半才大功告成。第三天搅拌试喝了一些...mmm...味道很好，很香。女儿说"very nice, can i have somemore...."

Chocolate Pudding Cup Cake & 椰香小公主

2007-10-30T15:51:00.000+08:00

Last Saturday went to Auntie Irene's house to learn the Chocolate Pudding Cup Cake & 椰香小公主. 哇！孩子和老公不一会儿就把它们搞定了。可想而知它们有多美味可口吧！等我买到糕模才来大显身手吧！Wish me luck! Ha....ha....

Marble Cake

2007-10-26T17:26:00.001+08:00

After seeing the nice Marble Cake photo being posted at 厨房笔记，就让我蠢蠢欲动，结果星期三就做了。虽然外表看起来不怎么样，有点黑，因为我烘了55分钟才熟。不过切开来却还蛮漂亮的(自己赞自己，厚脸皮hor)嘻嘻！蛋糕的口感很好，很香。家人都吃得很开心。谢谢Violet和Auntie Irene提供的食谱。DomooArigatoo!
P/S: 有没有注意到蛋糕上有一个缺口，那就是女儿等不及先剥来吃了一口.....哈哈！

Pineapple Tart

2007-10-26T17:15:00.000+08:00

Today is my niece, Wei Wen's birthday. Specially make this pineapple tarts for her because this is her favourite. We actually celebrated her birthday last Sunday. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, WEN"

First trial of Sweet Buns

2007-10-26T13:37:00.001+08:00

After learning making the sweet bun, feel very excited to try making myself. But my mixer voltage is too small for the dough kneading. Supposed to buy a heavy duty mixer before start making these sweet bun, 可是我受不了它的诱惑，手很痒。我想既然我有一个面包机，不然试试看拿来knead dough吧。啊...还算成功啦....可是做的时候做少了两个步骤....真糊涂....还好，面包出来还很松软。耶!

Yummy Sweet Bun

2007-10-24T10:52:00.000+08:00

Went to Auntie Irene's house to learn making sweet bun on the 15/10/07. It was a fun day for me because this was my first time hands on making all those cute little buns. All these buns are sooooo soft & yummy. My daughter enjoy it so much. 在此要非常感谢Auntie Irene的细心教导。Later part of the day met Mami Wu & her 2 lovely daughters as well.
