my little favourite DIY

This is my third nyonya dish, Nyonya Devil Curry. This is a nyonya dish from the Southern Nyonya.  The southern nyonya, on the other hand, tend to prepare food that is generally rich in coconut millk and Malay spices such as coriander and cumin. Sugar is quite liberally featured in the recipes of southern cuisine. One very unique style of the nyonya cuisine is their imaginative ways of preparing fruits and vegetables. Sweet potatoes leaves,  tiny sour carambola, unripe jackfruit and the heart of banana bud are all transformed in the kitchen, added to and blended with aromatic leaves such as kaffir lime, tumeric, pandan, and laksa leaf. This gives a good balance of tastes in meals... this is a little from this book (Northern and Southern Nyonya Cuisne) Back to my nyonya dish that i am going to share today. It is Nyonya Devil Curry. I am quite curious how DEVIL is this Nyonya Devil Curry. When i study the recipe i found that the dried chilies is a lot, that means this w

Afer visited Cindy's (yummylittlecooks)   blog   i found that the Malaysia Food Fest `is a very interesting event and she is hosting this event for the state of Malacca (Malacca Food Fest)  to start of the event. Joining in, would be fun and gain knowledge of the specialty about the food in each state for me.and i would also like  to suppport the event I bought a Nyonya Cook Book (Northern and Southern Nyonya Cuisine by Chef Ricky Ng)  recently. After browsing thru this book i decide to cook 4 dishes from this book. To be frank, i am not really familiar with all this dishes i chose, i would cross my finger and follow the recipe and hope the dish turn out great..=p  As you can see from the title of recipe book is about the Northern and Southern Nyonya Cuisine. I am going to cook a 2 dishes from Northern Nyonya cuisine, 1 from Southern Nyonya cuisine and 1 from a mixed of Northern and Southern Nyonya cuisine. Will post each one every day from today...wish me luck..:D  Northern

Am i in love with Whoopie Pies???...=D    Saw a book in a book shop that has got  Whoopie Pies last weekend while bringing my boys there. The whole book is about Whoopie Pies with small words of cookies and Macaroons. They have all sort of colours, flavours and fillings. I am amazed by the book. I had a quick flipped and i found this..... which i like very much. The Blueberry and Sour Cream Whoopie Pies. I made these this morning and i love it straight away. Its really tasty with the blueberries and just a simple cream sandwich in between. Even my boys love it very very much. Recipe source: taste. Whoopie Pies. cookies and macaroons Ingredients: 225 g  plain flour 1 tsp ground cinnamon (i use only 1/4 tsp) 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/4 tsp salt 175 g butter 225 g sugar 1 large egg 120 g sour cream 100 g blueberries for filling: 400ml cream ( i use dairy whipping cream) 30 g icing (confectioners') sugar To do: 1) Heat oven 180c. Line 3 baking tray with greas

I have never bake or taste a whoopie pie before. I do saw them in magazine but never thought they are Whoopie Pie because i always mistaken them as Macaroon. Only that Macaroon is wearing a skirt and Whoopie Pie is not. :D Now, then i realised those without a skirt are Whoopie pies. Free and Easy Bake Along #31, this month pick is from Zoe and her picked are  Whoopie Pies.   Its really fun joining Bake Along, this month i learn something new about Whoopie Pies.

~Thanks to Zoe for picking this great cake~ This is a very nice cake. i like the texture of the cake it is soft and moist. i am using almond meal instead of cornmeal. Why? Just because i can't find cornmeal in my place...LOL  We have 2 medium size shops which supplies all types of baking ingredients here, even they do not sell 'cornmeal'. I was thinking, maybe i am going to skip this round bake along event. But i do not want to miss the fun so I seek for help from Lena and Joyce. Asking them what can i used to replace cornmeal??  In the end i decided to use almond meal just because i have some in the pantry. To my surprise, it turn out well. Thanks to Lena, giving me the green light to do so...hehe  Only that i found mine is a bit too thin and it looks like a pan pizza but it do not taste like pizza..:p  The smell of the almond meal is so nice when it is baked and it goes really well with the caramelize apples. I am glad i baked this cake.. Thanks to Lena
