Here are some photos of my experiments in the month of February~


BUTTER MOON CAKE :)


CLICK HERE FOR THE ORIGINAL PAGE OF THE RECIPE :)

Cooking Time: 40
25cm (9-10 in) cake tin (ideally spring form)
225g (approx 2 and 1/4 cups) plain flour, sieved
250g (approx 2 and 1/2 cups) caster sugar
250g (approx 2 and 1/2 cups) unsalted butter
6 large egg yolks
A glaze of a teaspoon of egg yolk from your 6, and a tablespoon of water (or milk)

Preheat oven to 190C (375f).

If you have a mixer, add the sieved flour, sugar, butter and eggs and mix until combined.

If you have no mixer, you get to be messy! Make a mound of the sieved flour on a worktop, make a well in it and add the sugar, butter and eggs. Knead to mix.

Scoop this dough into the tin and smooth the top with a floured hand. Expect the dough to be very sticky. Brush the gateau with the glaze and mark a lattice design on top.

Bake for 15 mins, then turn the oven down to 180C (350f) and give it another 25 minutes or so until it's golden on top and firm to the touch. Let cool completely before unmoulding / turning out.



PRAWN & VEGETABLE SPING ROLLS



LEMONGRASS SPICED CHICKEN

I would have to try cooking the Lemongrass spiced chicken again to make it nicer. And I'll surely share the recipe of the nicer version here. The one I made last weekend was a bit too dry. I would love it to have more gravy and hotter. And I am sure that it'll be just like the curries, better on the second and third day than most meals are on the first.

Do you know that?

Right now, I am learning how to undertake having to be around negative people. There are so many people with negative energies around me, the dream stealers and the kind of people who kept on telling me that I CAN'T DO THIS...I CAN'T DO THAT.... Yup that kind of people. How irritating, right? To have them around is just so burdensome.

So, now I am reading about how I can change my feelings about negative feedbacks and informations and make it so valuable to be improvement opportunities. I know it is not going to be easy but I will try. I will learn to improve myself everyday and also to improve what I am doing. It is still in the early 2012. LITTLE MIRACLES CAN HAPPEN :) No one can say 'NO'. So, let's be POSITIVE, MATES!

I am looking forward to my next baking moments. I want to make E'clairs. I am really thrilled :) One more thing, I cannot wait for the next class with Stephane. That's what I love about travelling. I get to learn how to create and taste new food :) It's really exciting and seeing the creations come alive is the greatest feeling I could have imagined. IT IS SO MUCH FUN! What makes it so fun is that I get to learn from the greatest teacher. Just thinking of Stephane's class will put a smile on my face. I AM IN BLISS :)

DO YOU LOVE TRAVELLING?

:::In the name of ALLAH, The Most Gracious, Most Merciful:::

~PATIENCE IS VITAL~


I am one person who enjoys travelling. No, I don't want to have travelling as a job because once it becomes a job, it will not be fun anymore. I want travelling to always be my hobby.

As for reading and writing, they are my hobbies, too. But I realized that both reading and learning make ends meet. I get to teach young children. Honestly, I love learning. It would have been great if I could have been a student for the rest of my life because I really like to learn new things. That's the reason why I love to visit bookstores. I would be captivated by the self-help section, chic-lits, autobiography, law, psychology, and now I am into recipes. I would spend hours looking through all the titles. I never get out of a bookstore without purchasing at least a book. And that makes Razi angry whenever we're travelling because usually the books will have to go into his bag as mine is a slim bag without any extensions compartment. *ahaks*

Here's something I would like to share with you. I read it earlier today. It's a good tip about TRAVELLING. Have a read. CLICK HERE to be directed to the original page.
