Grandmama gave me a choice whether to make banana cake or pandan coconut cake but since there was no banana at home, i went for pandan coconut cake. The cake turned out moist and it was quite nice although i am not a big fan of pandan coconut cake. You know what, within 30 minutes after the cake was out of oven, the cake has distributed out. *hahaha* and i have got an order from my aunt to make another one tomorrow. Wanna take a look at the cake?
Dont worry, you can ring me up when you wish for food testing *i hope* Well, here's the recipe for this cake: Ingredients Cake (A) 270g butter 230g sugar (B) 5 eggs 60ml coconut milk 2 tbsps pandan juice (C) 240g flour 25g custard powder 30g dessicated coconut 1tsp baking powder Topping 40g butter 35g icing sugar 55g desiccated coconut Directions Cream (A) till light and fluffy. Add (B) a little at a time and cream till smooth and light. Fold in (C) and mix till well blended. Pour it into 10" round mould. Mix all the ingredients in Topping and spinkle on top of the cake. Bake at 175C for 50 minutes. Serve. |

First attempt baking potatoes. Spent a few good hours from cleaning the potatoes, cut the ingredients to watching the oven to check if the potatoes were cooked. I was quite anxious and at the same time, i was worried if the potatoes didnt turn out ok coz i was supposed to make sure that my potatoes were ok and safe before serving my friends for potluck.
I guess the potatoes were really safe and fine right?
Taa Daaa.....!
Hope this potato would do fine for potluck =S
Here's the recipe: Ingredients Potatoes Cheddar Cheese Ham Button Mushroom Parmesan Cheese Directions Clean the potatoes, cut into halves. Slice the ham and button mushroom. Sandwich the ham and mushroom with the potatoes. Cover the ham and mushroom with cheddar cheese and also parmesan cheese. Wrap with aluminium foil. Bake at 220 F for about 1 hour. |

What would u think of right after exam? It would definitely be a good feast after a long suffering. We headed down to Asia Cafe for supper after collecting the webcam from Pyramid. Since Mel+Sweesan have not tried eating there at night, i was the guide of the night; the leader of the night for JustHeavenly Crew. We ordered Fried Mushroom coz the fried mushroom there was super nice. Its very crispy even when its cooled. The sour and spicy sauce dip was good as well. Have a look at the Fried Mushroom below. The picture was not so clear because i was using phone's camera.
Since the uncle selling the Tako Ball was concentrating so hard when making those yummy Takoballs, we decided to order Takoballs too. They have very nice packaging. The box was kinda cute actually; with the squid shaped hole on the box.
Also, not forgetting my favourite 'Taufu Bakar'. Its damn nice. The 'Taufu' is very crispy and the sauce is not too watery. You should really try this out! This is way better than the one from Pasar Malam.
*Feel fat after supper-ing* but of coz, no regrets!

This entry was suppose to be up a long time ago...but due to my laziness..there has been delay..so here it is... another execellent makan place in Taman Tun (TTDI)..18th - 20th Century...
altho d interior looks alil like those of d kopitiams,u've to see it to feel it... we ordered a couple of really sumptious food from the set lunch menu..to begin with the set lunch has about 10 choices of main course with appetizers, drink n dessert..even before we start, we had to crack our brain to select our choice as all d name of the dishes were equally tempting. hail the dishes... 1st..the appetizers..altho they came in pretty small portion on big plates..they practically justify themselves with your first bite..if that make sense to you..haha
spicy seafood spagethi...
 pad thai kuey teow...
i think it meant pattaya kuey teow..din really tasted it..but colleague says that its equally mouthwatering...haha..n d kuey teow is fried with peanuts..alil..interesting...
last came the dessert..which we din quite expected...haha
 vanilla ice cream on brownie...
simply brilliant to end our mini feast..haha..we left the place with a very satisfied appetite n we did
not burn a hole in our pocket when we paid the bill..its fun to have a great deal of a set lunch which
cost below 20bucks..definitely worth trying..haha..
in short d set lunch come in quite a variety..fusion of eastern n western food in short..my colleagues told me that the set lunch here is definitely a good catch..cos d ala carte dishes they serve during the nite mayb alil pricy..
went to the past..back to the future wit a full tummy...haha
