Couple of chocolate and cheese

Holiday is the best time for me to polish my baking skill; this week I baked two cakes, which are butter cake with raisin and marble chocolate cheese cake. Butter cake is easier because all the steps I learnt from my mum dy,the only thing I need to bear in mind while doing are the egg and flour whipping stages.However,for marble chocolate cheese cake, its steps are more complicated, thus I do it with my mum. My mum in charged of the chocolate part while I did the cheese part. Actually its methods just like the usual marble cake’s method, we just need to create the “marble” like texture and appearance while mixing chocolate and cheese together. At last, I really think it taste good, and my sisters also like it very much. Even though its appearance looks a bit messy here, but I am sure you will like it if you are cheese and chocolate lover, because it will give you a high mouth feel.

Baking is a challenging hobby for me because everyone can bake cake, but bake a tasty cake is not easy as we always think (as you know, my teacher is very strict one…). We need to know each method used in each cake making and the reasons behind (as a food technologist, the latter part is more meaningful to us).I really enjoy in cake making especially the moment I open the oven, and take the cake out….it is full of satisfaction with the sense of accomplishment…hehe…

Hope you enjoy your hobby too! See ya!

Addicted

Its been a week din update my blog,sometimes holiday will drive me become lazier…However, anyway, I am still glad to meet ah bong,shi bin,li yoon,keat yin,keoh,yen ling,and hui pin last weekend. Gathering is a wonderful event and this is what I always looking forward when holiday approaching. I think both of us really enjoyed it because we can share our recent life with each other and most important, update ourselves for the gossip cases around us,haha.While we talking and talking, eventually our topic switch to the latest drama hit which fascinate both of us, that is The Little Nyonya (I think I mentioned many times here dy…hehe…we are all addicted).I am quite surprised that so many peoples around me like to watch this show, and it proved that this show really worth to have a watch. Even though many of us quite disagree with the logicality of the story plot, but all in all, I think this show really success, at least it captured all the viewers’ heart and make them keep following as the story goes…I am not try to promote this show, but, it really brought a big impact for both of us, hehe.

Ok, I think that is enough for today. The day of industrial training is approaching soon; I am not yet prepare to face the reality, how? Please help me to sweep away my holiday mood….

Chocolate cake, although this is not the one I choose, but still nice…

Tayar kuih.My dad brought a lot of sweet potato home, so my mum try to use part of it to make this famous and common Malay dessert for us.

Ondeh-ondeh.Another nyonya dishes made by sweet potato.However,I think my mum still need to improve her skill coz the filling is too dry and it is not the type which can “melt in your mouth”…

Nyonya Impact

I think majority of us are addicted to recent drama “小娘惹”dy, me, my mum and my cousins. This is really a great drama so far in this year, the plot is good, both actors really can bring the spirit of each character to the viewer.Morover, the most important is it bring back the culture of Baba-nyonya to the young generation, this is the most unique and beautiful culture which inherited from our ancestors and specially found in the land of Malaya, and we really need to put a lot of effort to appreciate and preserve it.

One month passed and nothing much I have done in this holiday so far, what my daily routines are reading magazine, eating some good stuff prepared from my mum and my neighbor (yaya,she is really care about us, almost every morning I can received her blended fresh juice once I open my eyes,thankyou auntie 晓玲),watching TV, and sleeping…However, li yoon and hui pin are back dy,tomorrow will go yumcha with hui pin and hopefully next week can have a meet with li yoon and hui qi.

Oklar, even though boring life almost kill me, but I will keep find something interesting to post here. See you all next time. Bye.

Little Nyonya

I think I am really addicted to Baba-nyonya culture dy,it is all due to the attraction of the latest drama “The Little Nyonya”.This is the new TV series of Singapore and happy to say that almost all the scenes are taken in Malacca and Penang. Since this drama just started to show, I think no point to judge on the story and actors; however, Singapore producer really put a lot of effort to film this show, many beautiful scenes are being captured and really surprised me. For those who can’t watch this show, you can watch it in youtube and for those who really wish to take a real look; you can have a Malacca trip and explore the culture by yourself.

That’s all for today, see you next time.
