Asam Chai Ber ( Braised Sour Roast meat with Chinese mustard) 菜尾

I would considered this Asam Chai Ber is one of the Chinese New Year dish. This is a dish that using leftover roasted meat (pork, chicken, duck, lamb , beef & etc) especially during Chinese New Year, and braise with Chinese mustard (Kai Choy), a lot of tamarind peels (that why this dish called Asam means sour) and dried chilies..You will be wondering why i can cook this Chai Ber since another 2 weeks only we celebrating CNY..Because I have a lot of leftover roasted lamb from a party which was held in my house on last Sunday.

Penang Assam Laksa

Yesterday i shared with you salted fish, and I am going to share you a bowl of spicy, sour, fruity and fragrant Penang assam laksa using fresh fish today. Penang Assam Laksa was voted as CNN’s top 10 yummiest food !!

Angry Birds Fondant Cupcakes class at Cake Connection Malaysia 翻糖愤怒鸟杯子蛋糕

After i attended my 1st fondant class on Thur, now i understand why the price of fondant cupcake is so high...I spent 4 hours (no eating, no drinkimg and not go to restroom) only finished 6 Angry Birds Fondant Cupcakes!! Actually making fondant is not that difficult, but it is very time consuming..
Anyway, I was so happy to attend this AB fondant cupcake class at Cake Connection Malaysia which specially conduct for bloggers. At least now i know how to make a proper fondant cupcake..

A fun day in Quay Po's 1st cooking class at Pantry Magic KL

When Veronica (Quay Po Cooks) told me Pantry Magic Bangsar is inviting us to a cooking class. I quickly went to check their website and i know i must accept this invitation. I love to visit this kind of place where selling all kind of kitchen related products. Later I text to Quay Po ask her who will be the chef and what we are going to learn. Quay Po text back to me and said she will be the chef. Wow!! my blogger friend now become instructor to conduct cooking class. She is from a non cooking mom to a chef in a year, this is a big achievement!! proud of you Veron!

Kuih Kasturi ( mung bean fritters )

Here is another kuih that i wanted to make long ago, since this month Aspiring bakers calling us to make kuih, so i have no excuses not try out this time. A very simple kuih, cooked mung bean coat with batter and deep fry.

Ondeh-Ondeh (glutinous rice ball with palm sugar)

Just realized that month of October left few more days to go. I have made few other type of kuihs, need to quickly post before Aspiring Baker#12: Traditional Kueh end.

This is another kuih that we love, Pulut Inti...I just realized that this month i eating too much of glutinous rice and coconut, hehehe..

Oh Ku Kuih ( Ramie leaf glutinous rice steamed cake with savory filling)

I would like to dedicate this post to a reader name Joanne who sent me the “Ang Ku Kuih" mould with 福 （happiness, good fortune, blessing ）printing. Joanne was requested me to send her some Ramie stem as she wanted to plant it. Chinese peoples especially Hakka family using Ramie leaf (厝叶）to make kuih (steam cake). According to Joanne, Malaysia Hakka family called this kuih as " choo yap ban~ 粗叶茶果/粗叶板" or also called it "woo char guo". As for Hokkien family, we called this kuih as "Oh Ku Kuih" as this kuih look black, " Oh" means black in Hokkien...

Kuih Seri Muka

I have been experiencing missing comments when i tried to leave a comment in some of the blogs.I have this problem with those blogs with "full page" and "Embedded below pages" comment setting, but no problem with "pop up window". Did you have this same problem? I'm not sure how to resolve this problem, sorry to some of my bloggers friend not leaving comment to you but actually i did, just my comment don't appeared in your comment box.


This month Aspiring Bakers is calling us to make Traditional Kueh (Aspiring Bakers #12: Traditional Kueh (October 2011), so i quickly make my favourite Seri Muka.

Green tea Swiss roll (with red bean and Mascarpone cheese)

After watched the DVD showing how to roll a nice swiss roll by master 孟老师 ( a blogger friend  MEL so kind sent me a 孟老师 DVD), I have more confidence now to make a swiss roll.

Strawberry Swiss roll

Here is another Swiss roll I did last week and this time i use fresh strawberry for the filling.
