chocolate cheeze cake...bribe!!

last saturday...mama went out jalan2 with achu...it has been a while or ages that we hang out together...selalunyer...mama need to bring along either one of the kids or tak pun semua sekali hehehe..so in order to have less 'guilt' of going out all alone without the kids ...I baked them a chocolate cheese cake the night before heheh...ambiklaaa...makanlaa..yeaa..sedapp nanti mama balik cepat okeh!! legaa..takder curfew..baiknyer papa tolong babysit all the budak2...mama really appreciate it very much..and at the same time lega when I got back the kids are all ok...and my parents-in-law pun ada...ouwww..*big grin*

crafty mode..

simple craft at home...beli simpan dan akan dikeluarkan apabila tiada tujuan atau plan nak pergi mana2..the mould can be re-used over and over again..just beli extra plaster jer kat kedai hardware..jimat skett! sebenarnya..to keep all the kids duduk diam2, takmo bising2 or gaduh pasal game psp, or main bola yang boley merosakkan bumbung rumah and most of all papa & mama can rehat dihujung minggu quietly (he3)

roti jala, lace pancakes

First attempt of making my own homemade roti jala after bertahun2 beli kat kedai belakang rumah for open house, for birthdays, for makan2 till one day...papa tanyer...ini corong apa ni?? dok menyemak kat dlm drawer nih kekeke..nasib baik jadikk and nasib baikk ada non-stick pan legaaa...licinn! alhamdullilah!!

Ingredients:

1 kg tepung gandum

2 biji telur

sedikit serbuk kunyit (for colouring)

a dash of salt

air dlm 3 cawan

Method: Put everything in the blender...and blend it well...kalau still pekat tambah air. I guess rules of the thumb is kalau 2 cawan tepung...mesti guna 2 cawan air. To me...I hentam jer as long the batter can turun smoothly without stopping kat corong roti jala then it should be okay...Make sure when u do the lacing u got to do pusingan O jgn berhenti2 nanti jadi dripping cam dot dot..heheh good luck..I had fun..cam buat scribbling..boleh kurangkan stress LOL

Greek Baklava

This Baklava recipe was given by my friend Elisa Ho. She make the yummiest muffin in the world hahah..thinkin' of her muffin make me craving already.. umm...
okay back to baklava..

This recipe dessert can keep fresh in fridge for 1 week as long no syrup is added.  Bangsar Village selling baklavas at RM16.00 per 100gm haiyooo sgt mahal..The cheapest to make are the peanuts baklavas..

GREEK BAKLAVA (original source from Vogue Entertaining Magazine)
Ingredients: (Make about 24pcs)
3 cups walnuts/pistachios/peanuts/cashews/macadamias/pinenuts
or any type of nuts of your choice
6 tablespoons raw sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon powder
pinch of ground cloves
1 packet fillo pastry (PAMPAS brand, buy from Cold Storage)
melted butter
extra nuts (for sprinkling) Syrup:
2 cups water
½ cup honey
1 cup sugar
3 whole cloves
2 cinnamon sticksMethod• Finely chop the nuts, then mix with sugar, cinnamon powder and ground cloves.
• Place 2 sheets of filo pastry on a flat surface and brush with melted butter. Spread the nut mixture across the width of the pastry, roll up tightly and brush with melted butter.
• Repeat with the remaining nut mixture and filo pastry.
• Place the rolls in a greased ovenproof dish, cut int diagonal pieces and bake in a preheated 190 degree Celcius oven for 45 minutes.
• Place all the syrup ingredients in a saucepan and cook over low heat , stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and cook over low heat until the mixture is syrupy. Remove from the stove and cool.
• When the baklava is cooked, remove the dish from the oven and pour the syrup over the baklava. Set aside to cool then serve sprinkled with chopped nuts.

Additional notes:
• You may wish to replace the syrup with golden syrup as it is less pungent with spices and needs no preparation. Just squiggle some golden syrup on top of the baked baklava the night before you plan to consume or as and when required.
• If need to reduce heavy smell of cinnamon and cloves, just use golden syrup(Can get 1 x 500ml bottle from “Bake with Yen” at RM 3.50)

• Try baking the baklava for 35 minutes, test to see if OK first. If not adequately browned, then bake another 5-10 minutes
