ok.. i know we've been posting about stuffs that we made that turn out.. now lets see some of the stuffs that DID NOT turn out well .. first up. mango pudding i googled for the recipe and i think i found it in about.com .. (i think) .. it dint quite turn out how it's suppose to be...  mango squares  heart shaped mango pudding 2nd .. yeah and i wanted to make Ham in Coca Cola for the upcoming potluck (which is over now) .. and i used chicken breast meat to try out ... the taste was nice. but the chicken was terribly hard.. maybe because it's breast meat anyway. so for pot luck, i thought of using chicken thigh .. or if i'm lucky enough to find the Gammon (a type of ham)..  chicken in coke.. yes COKE !!!  see the difference !??! heh heh heh  in the end, i toasted it with some cheddar cheese.. haha 3rd.. fortune cookies it turned out to be like ... CREPE ! u know it's suppose to be like hard n crispy n cookie-like ..but i dont know why .. it's soft .. well .. i got the recipe from one of the books from women's weekly (aus version, u know those small lil booklets) this was suppose to be for pot luck also, but since it did NOT turn out, i didnt make it..  toasted dried coconut  the "suppose-to-be" fortune notes (some are evil, btw)  the mixture that didnt turn out right .. -_-" pppffff okie dokie .. that's about it i guess tata |

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.

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!
