My good friend's birthday

This is a New Year and new vision year 2010. Have been 3 months since my last post. Guess, wat I am doing. I am in confinement in November 2009, for a month and taking care of my new born baby boy for a month. Haha...now here.... I am back ^^. My good friend's Yan birthday is in December, I wanted to make a special cake for her so I choose this Durian Dream Cheesecake.




I made a 6" miniature durian cheesecake for her and an extra 6" cake for us. I use fresh durian flesh for this cake. No artificial flavour at all. I uses Thai durian, given my brother in law. The Thai durian flesh is big, yellowish in colour, thick, sweet and smell so so nice. Simon wanted to eat it so much but I insist that I wanted to use it or my durian cheesecake.




***** Yummy yummy........Shawn loves this so much...^^

A Sarawak Cake ~ Cake Hitam ( 砂劳越的蛋糕 ~ 黑美人蛋糕)

Sarawak is famous of its' Steamed Cakes and Layer Cakes (Kek Lapis). Steamed Cakes in Sarawak are mostly steamed for hours. I have done a steamed cake that took me 7 hours to cook.

I have tasted the cake in a Malay friend's house while go visiting on a Hari Raya. The name of that Cake is Kek Hati Parek. This Malay friend of mine, she is so so kind to share her recipe to me. This will be share in future.  砂劳越有好几种著名的蛋糕. 其中有千层蛋糕和蒸蛋糕.  我各人很喜欢蒸的蛋糕.  砂劳越的蒸蛋糕通常是需要蒸上2个小时以上.  记得我成蒸过一粒蒸蛋糕用了7个小时. 是不是有点'疯了' 7个小时!! 当时, 真的! 太喜欢那蛋糕了(Hati Parek 蛋糕) . 是在有一年的开斋节拜访一位马来朋友时在她家吃过. 就回味无穷. 跟她要了食谱:D  今天先不谈7个小时的蒸蛋糕, 就留下次吧!
