Just read the recipe, afterwards you will agree with me how heavy it is.  I have baked once a  New York CheeseCake  but it uses sour cream in the ingredient. This year my hubby's birthday he requested for a New York cheesecake which he love very much. I didn't want to bake the one that i have baked before but instead i bake this one i saw in  Marcela's blog . (Torta Della Figlia) In her version she uses YOGURT instead of sour cream. I am so in love with this version. The cheesecake is smooth, creamy and it is heavenly delicious ^_^ Another thing i lo...

Kueh Kodok or Cekodok or cucur is a delicious Malay kueh (bite size snack). It is very common in Malaysia and Brunei. It it sell by small hakwer vendor around the street corner or pasar malam (night market) or pasar tani (weekend market). It is a simple kueh that is deep fried with only a few ingredients. The main ingredient is banana. The banana is mash and  mix with flour, brown sugar and a pinch of salt, then it is deep fried into this yummy fritters. Kueh Kodok 或 Cekodok 或 cucur 是种传统的马来糕点， 在马来西亚和文莱很普遍。在街边小巷或pasar malam可找到小贩在卖。但是我没吃过哦！要谢谢 Fion 和 Joceline ，如果不是她们的分享我也吃不到这美味的传统糕点。不同的地区叫法不同。Kueh Kodok是炸的糕点 做法简单，成品超好吃呢！！外皮带酥，内松和柔软，炸出来的颜色较黑褐色！ 黑褐色的 Kueh Cekodok外貌一般，味道可不一般。 炸 好了， 就把老幺叫来，想让他尝尝后在借我他的小拇指。可是他用很怪的眼神看着这糕说；妈咪，这是什么？像‘BOM'。我说你咬一口，看看？他不想试但是还是咬了一口。他脸上露出了好好吃的神情。Yeah!! 就是好吃！   Kueh Kodok is a simple but delicious street snack.

Sam: Mum, can you make the custard into chocolate flavor?? Mum: Let me see what i can do!!         我家老二：咪，这个香草蛋黄塔可以做巧克力口味的吗？ 咪：让咪看看怎样变给你吧！      为了要变个巧克力口味的塔给老二就自己乱乱来。用了我很喜欢的芝士塔的食谱做了少许的改变。 塔皮照旧只把馅料换去蛋黄巧克力。再把香草蛋黄馅料塔变成水果塔。我家老二可乐了。。哈哈！                         This Chocolate Custard tarts is a modified version from my cheese tart.

Tips for shaping the sweet pastry tart shells: 1. Rolled the disc dough between two sheets of plastic wrap or cling...

I have been wanting to try this Korean dish named 'Japchae' since AFF Korea month. But then i can't get this Korean glass noodles or potato starch noodles (Dangmyeon : 당면)  until last month i saw it in Giant supermarket. Without thinking twice， when i will cook it i grab a bag of this potato starch noodles. Now is the right time to cook and share it in Little Thumb Up !!  'Japchae' is a Korean dish consist of sweet potato starch noodles, vegetables and meat. It is easy to prepare, health and refreshing. It is sweet and savoury with sesame aroma from the sesame oil and the sesame seeds. According to Maangchi stir frying each ingredient separately seems like a lot of labor but this way you will get wonderful taste and color from each of the ingredient. Each ingredients requires a different cooking time and a bit of care. 好想煮这道韩式Japchae好久了。 上个月逛超市是看到红署粉丝好兴奋，就买了一包回家试试自己煮。 JapChae是韩式炒杂菜， 里头含韩式红署粉丝， 牛肉，菠菜， 胡萝卜丝，蛋黄丝，蘑菇，大葱和青葱。 用了糖，酱青，芝麻油和烤香的芝麻拌在一起就可上桌享用了！ Let...
