Food again.

My post is on food once again.
Food lover am I?? or dessert lover??
You can easily guess that's true from my size.

Fatt Koh (prosperity kuih) or Smiling cake - reason as a successful one smiles and opens up nicely =D
This is not the original Fatt Koh as what normal people will thought of in their minds. It's not white with pink strips, the original Fatt Koh, which is usually used for praying. The taste is different too.
I saw this Fatt Koh in a food blog which uses gula Melaka and looks interesting so i decided to try the recipe. Moreover, I like the gula Melaka.
Overall, I'm satisfied and happy with how the cake turned out in appearance, but taste wise, i still think that it can be more fragrant. Ammendments needed.

Childhood favourite food

Lately, I'm browsing through food blogs in particular on the kuih category.
Being away from home and missing the relaxing moments on holidays back then or times when I was younger, motivates me a bit on starting DIY, cook/bake.
Well well, I craved for a lot a lot of local Malaysia snacks and kuih, but I want simple recipes.hehee. Thus, too complicated ones, crossed out, and finally made this Steamed white cake or '白糖糕'.
After making this, then I realised the ingredients is only rice flour,sugar,yeast,pandan leaves and oil. I remember my mom or dad used to buy them from the market and it will be sitting on the dining table for me as breakfast =D



Steamed rice cake attempt succeed!
Tomorrow, gula melaka 'fatt kohh'.

其实我也发觉我变了。
常常沉默不言, 或不懂得如何表达和分享。 与人的距离也越来越大。
有尝试改善自己,很想很想改变,也很想打开胸膛,倾诉有心事,可是最后还是全部保留在心里。我只是向他倾诉大事小事,这是为什么, 我感谢他的存在与支持,可是我不想永远这样。
我何时才能打开心里这一个结?


就到此好了,中文不好,花了不少时间在这短短的几行字。 =P
好友们,谢谢你们的关怀, 希望我能早日得到解药或钥匙把我心打开。 =D

A few days left until my second semester starts.
Checked the timetable today and it is terrible. No off days, 9am everyday and end mostly at 4pm or 5pm.

Feeling very empty at the moment. Being around people for the past days and enjoyed very much. It's time to go home and get back into routine. Now I have the time to relax at home but I'm having so much in mind that pulling my mood down.

Attended a student conference in Hobart which was not so interesting but yet opened my eyes to the reality in life. I didnt enjoy the time of the whole conference sessions and had a slight regret on making the decision to go along with the group. Nevertheless, I'm happy to make some new friends, experience the super duper quiet Hobart town, and see the political minded side of people.

Just hardly able to express what I am feeling and what can change things.
The happy kid went away once again.
I know there's a time the happy kid will return and I hope the happy kid stays forever.
When will it be?

A happy kid.

I’ve been having good times since the minute my exam ended.
Honestly feeling very good. Not the fact that I’m having fantastic activities is just the nice feeling where I have all the time to do anything I like to.

I had a good home cooked dinner at my uncle’s place yesterday. After that, just relaxed on the couch, watched tv, went online, then bed time. Simple but nice.

Today, spent some quality time with aunty in the morning and spent some productive time with roomie in the afternoon and spent some delicious time with housemates at night.

Uncle just got a new car and just lucky, he’s driving another car to work and so I got the chance to sit on this brand new car. Out of a sudden on the road, my aunty just asked, Are u brave enough for the cold, let’s pull over and get the roof open. Oh well, of course I’m totally excited about it. My first experience in a car with roof opened, other people would look at us like two mad ladies chilling themselves in the winter breeze..hehe.but it was a good fun experience, it was not too cold as the sun was shining brightly, just the stronger wind while we’re on the freeway and I had to put over my hoodie to give my head a little more protection. A time that you’ll also think - One day I shall get myself such a stylish and classic car.

Spring cleaning in the afternoon today.
Scrub-wipe-mop-vacumm-pack. Yeah, our bathroom and kitchen is sparkly clean now and the living room is tidier.

Had dinner with roomie at Ec-Pot after the hardwork. The after-dinner is much more that I’m excited about as Miss Jia decided to bake some egg tarts, we prepared the batter before dinner. I just love egg tarts so much and so looking forward to go home to bake after the dinner. I miss Simee’s market egg tart. The best egg tart in Ipoh I would say.

It’s so fun and nice cooking or baking together with my dear housemates. Tonight’s egg tart attempt was successful. =D We didn't have egg tart moulds, so we used muffin pans. We nicely kneaded the dough, rolled it out, added the fillings and we were so excited and kept on checking the tarts in the oven.

On last saturday night, I enjoyed my time very much too with my housemates. We were cooking vegetables curry pot and fried beehoon. The fun little things that happened throughout the process really made my day. Not to say more about the process over here but I really enjoyed myself and hope there are more of these days. It will be best if my exams are over then, and I would have joined the rest for the cookie baking session after dinner on that night.


Let's continue about egg tarts and let's the photos talk!

Miss Jia and I filling up the normal sized tarts and mni tarts ~mini ones with ice-cream scoop =P

Ready little mini egg tarts with the twinkle little star =D
The big ones! Starting to drool??heheee


Credits to my second cousin for all the photos below. She is one food critic, food photographer, the cook, the baker at home too.



Soft smooth centred fillings. Best served warm when it is freshly baked.
I bet you are drooling now!


Enjoy! Tata.
