What is Milo?  is a chocolate malted beverage,  which can be prepared with HOT or COLD milk or water. It offer essential vitamins and mineral to meet the nutrition and energy demands of young bodies and mind. 


Who is Milo? Milo is a product of Nestle. 'Good Food, Good Life' is their motto. Milo was launched in Australia in 1930's, the Milo brand take kids development seriously. It is a energy beverage highly associated with sports and good health. Further more, do you know that Milo and skim milk is LOW GI? It is to help provide sustained energy keeping one going for longer. Isn't that great!!

My milo memories
When i was a kid, my grand dad would always order a cup of hot Milo for me whenever we visit the kopi tiam.(coffee shop). In those days, kopi tiam uses the old fashion tea cup and saucer. When the cup of hot Milo arrive, my 'Tata' (Thai poo-hakka people call their grand dad as TaTa) would pour some of the hot Milo into the saucer to let it cool down faster. This action remind me of my 'Tata' a lot. I believe if you are around my age, you would probably have drunk Milo that way..lol

Come on...Let's bake and steam and cook with MILO!

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. Can you imagine that!!  Crazy me!! I can't believe that i have done it just because i love that particular cake so much. 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! In this post i am going to share another Sarawak steamed cake which is very popular in Sarawak. It is Kek Hitam which means Black Cake. This cake is also known as Kek Serikaya (Screwpine custard Cake) or Kek Belacan (Shrimp paste ...

Now in this post i used vanilla whipped cream/Chantilly cream as filling. I love to use dairy whipping cream as filling. Just add adequate of icing sugar/castor sugar to the whipping  cream and whisked it to light and fluffy. Then mix in any flavor that you like into the cream and piped it into the cake. Saw some nice and fresh bluberries in the supermarket, i quickly grab some for decoration :D N...

Ayam Masak Merah ... 香辣红番茄鸡

Ayam Masak Merah  is a Malay dish named Malay Red Cook Chicken.  The red colored comes from the tomato ketchup/puree and chilies.  I know my kids loves tomato and this dish is cooking with tomato ketchup. Oh!! they will love this tasty, yummy Red Cooked Chicken. One thing i am worrying is that, this dish will be spicy so i decide to cook the kids version by reducing the chillies to the lowest amout, that is 1/2 a chilli. The result is wonderful..my kids love..love..love this :) 香辣红番茄鸡, 是道吃过就会爱上的一道佳肴. 它的红是来之红番茄/番茄酱和红辣椒的天然色素. 我家宝贝们爱番茄酱, 我想谁家宝贝不爱呢!! 就想煮这道佳肴给他们尝尝. 可是啊!! 又担心辣, 我要香不要辣..就来个宝贝们的不辣而香的红番茄鸡吧!! :D 真的宝贝们爱吃哦!! 开心:D 看看..买相还不错吧? What do you think of this dish?? Don't you think this red colour is so makes this dish looks so inviting!! Cooking this is no fuss at all. It is simple or maybe you need to blend the shallots, ginger and chillies.  First marinate the chicken ( i used 2 large chicken maryland and i chopped into 2) with turmeric ...
