Bento day

So inspired to make Bento meal for Irisa after being 'tempted' by AK in my Facebook group. Her 'pretty' meals for her girl really make me drool and so want to do it for Irisa. So I ordered some Bento cutter yesterday from Taobao, now waiting for them patiently and ran to Serangoon Nex - King & King Wong to get a Bear Bento Box, NTUC to get a PRINCESS Bento Box. Oh my, she is so SPOILT!! Anyway, I hope to be able to make a nicer creation when the cutter comes in. And i really need to wreck my brain for what side dishes to go along for her bento and also suitable for us, adults. Sounds like my backside itchy right??

These are the 2 Bento Boxes that I have gotten for her, the Bear if it last long enuf, I can double up for Rayshon when he can self-feed. Cute right? And why princess? Cos Irisa says she is a Princess!

Just a simple meal with meatballs w/corn & carrot, egg omelette, tomato w/potato served with porridge. So if you need the recipe of the steamed meatballs, here it is.

Steamed Meatballs

100g Minced Meat (Can be chix, pork or mixture)

1Tbsp Sesame Oil

1Tbsp Lt Sauce

1Tbsp Cornflour

Dash of pepper

Diced Carrots and frozen corns

Stir to mix well, add in carrots and corns.

Shaped into balls

Put on plate and steam for 5-10mins.

I hope I can come up with nicer Bento for her as i practise hard. Night people.



My Failed Panda-Lookalike Bread

 Yes, my failed Panda-lookalike Bread. Supposed to have that Panda pattern from the above pic, but i lazy to refer to the steps and did it based on my estimation. Ended doing it totally wrong and ended up with a 'checkered' bread pattern. So sad. But to total it up, the Hokkaido Milk Bread still never fail me in the taste and texture.

Local cusine experiment

Decided to be adventurous yesterday and made Fried Oyster (Ah ma's style), Black & White Carrot Cake. Got the recipe from Munch Ministry from some kind souls who is willing to share the recipes.

Fried Oyster

White Carrot Cake

Black Carrot Cake

I varied the Fried Oyster from the recipe in Munch Ministry a bit to find my 'Grandma's taste'. I added Fishcake Strips & Prawn cubes instead of Oyster. And i did not use the Grounded Ingredients but used Fish Gravy like my Grandma to flavour it. But then, Happycall was good cos it was not oily after frying it and spared me from the messy cleaning up. But it lack the 'black wok' flavour if you know what I meant.

As for the Carrot cake, i cheated and used the Ready-made carrot cake and split into 2 types. But I didnt add Chai Po cos i ran out of it and as for the White version, i omit the Sweet Sauce, and i replaced the Light Soy Sauce with Fish gravy. =)

Fried Oyster (Recipe adapted from MunchMinistry)

Ingredients
20-30 fresh oysters (small ones)
110g sweet potato flour
250ml water
1 tsp salt (or to taste)
2 large eggs
2 tbsp chopped spring onions
1 tbsp chopped chives
4 tbsp oil
Ground ingredients (combine well using blender or mortar& pestle)
3 cloves garlic
2 shallots
1 tbsp chilli paste (I used Glory’s Nonya Sambal)
1/2 tbsp coriander pwd (Can be found in most spice sections in supermkts)
A dash of pepper
Method
Soak oysters in water.
Mix sweet potato flour, salt and water into a thin runny batter and leave aside. (Batter should be very runny as it thickens while cooking)
Heat oil in a non-stick wok or pan until very hot (medium heat).
Scoop out two ladles of batter onto the wok.
Give a quick stir and let the batter form a thin crust and then, crack in the eggs one at a time. Stir quickly, then push cooked batter to the side of pan.
Add 2 tbsp oil to the other side of pan, add ground ingredients and saute well. Add in oysters. Cook for a minute and combine the egg and sweet potato flour batter together with the oysters.
Add pepper and sprinkle with chopped spring onions and chives. Give it a stir then dish out and serve with chilli garlic sauce.
**i replaced oyster with fishcakes and prawns**


Another mission I had today was cooking Stew Pork with Tau Pok, Tau Kwa, Quail Eggs. I marinate them overnight and cook the very next day, with the marinate and added 2 cup of water to boil and simmer.

Stew Pork

Stew Pork Recipe (for 2-3 Pax)

1 Plate of Pork Belly (NTUC type)

1 Plate of Twee Bah (NTUC type)

1 Box of Quail Eggs

1 Box of Tau Pok

1 Pkt of Tau Kwa

2 Cups of water

Marinate - 2Tbsp Oyster Sauce, 3Tbsp Premium Soy Sauce, 1 Tbsp Light Soy Sauce, Dash of pepper & Corn Flour

1) Marinate the above meat with marinate overnight or at least 30mins

2) Put above with marinate and add 2 Cups of water to boil, simmer til meat is 70% tender

3) Add in cooked quail eggs, tau pok, tau kwa

Simple right? It is yummilicious!! And good to go with a bowl of plain rice. U can add  more water if the water dries up, and add a bit more dark sauce for taste.

More bakes - Breads, Cakes

Am so hooked on updating my blogs and dying to try more recipes since I have the time so that I can keep all the good recipes that I have tried or at least I can archive those I have tried before so I can always refer back when I needed them in future. I baked a Strawberry Cream Cheese Chiffon Cake by replacing some ingredients from the original recipe on friday afternoon for my relatives. Rested on saturday as last min had some appointments. So today had a mini spring clean for Hubby's work room, shifted a bit, clean up the hse and baked a Butter Cake and Pai Bao (Hongkong Sweet Buns) that is on my to-do list. Hahhaa..

Strawberry Cream Cheese Chiffon

 Personally, I find it a tad too dense and heavy, not really like the previous chiffon texture that I got. I wonder if i over-mix or somewhere went wrong. Anyway it used half Plain flour and Cake flour, so cld that be a reason? As for the recipe, I took out Banana and the Semi sweet choc and replaced it with chopped strawberry instead. Maybe I should try it again next time and follow the recipe exactly.

Basic Butter Cake



Basic Butter Cake - close up

I simply love this Butter cake, it is light and moist. So buttery and my hubby loves it. I think both my kids love it too. Gonna give some to my lovely neighbour for their supper or breakfast tommorrow. Let's share the 'fats', she always says..

Sweet Buns - in strips



Sweet Buns - round



Sweet bun - texture

I have always put this after the Hokkaido Milk Loaf for my next bakes. And i simply love the smell. Today i tried without the egg wash and see if it can stay soft longer and not have a hard outer case. The texture inside was soft. Yummy. Planning to make Pork Chop buns tommorrow..

Simple Meal & Bread making again

Today was alone with 2 toddlers and have an urge to bake, need to settle their lunch and also to think of what's for dinner. So I decided to cook simple lunch and dinner. Wanted to bake with Tang Zhong that I prepared day before and keep inside the fridge, so that I can know if I can make a bit more whenever i made a batch for my breads. I realised this method really yields a much softer, fluffy bread.

Lunch was simple fried bee hoon, I fry with oyster sauce, simmer and added a bit of pepper. It was so yummy that my little boy had a bowl, my older gal had 2 bowls. And i finish up the balance with her at 3pm for tea break again. Yummy.

Fried Bee Hoon

Ingredients

Bunch of White Japanese Mushroom 

Bunch of Bean Sprout

5 Fishballs, cut into slices

2 ricebowl of Thick Bee Hoon

2 Tbsp Oyster Sauce

Dash of pepper

1/2 Cup Water

Fry garlic in olive oil til fragrant.

Add in mushroom, bean sprout, fishball and fry til cooked

Add in bee hoon, mix well

Add oyster sauce, water and pepper

Simmer for 5 mins

Assorted bread using Tanzhong

Again, I used the Hokkaido Milk Loaf recipe again. This round I twisted the recipe and added 1 tsp of Chocolate Essence and 2 Tbsp of Chocolate Chips to half the dough. I played with colour for the other half and added pink to create the swirls. Yes, it was soft and yummy. Ended up couldnt resist and making another batch of assorted bread with the same recipe. It was yummy as well. Next of my list, I gonna try the Pai Pau recipe from Christine.

Pan Fried Lemon Pepper Salmon

Got this idea from 1 of my Facebook friend. Saw her pics and she taught me this. Marinate the salmon with pepper, lemon juice and salt. Coat with corn flour and pan fried with just enough oil to fry it. It was yummy. Love it.

That's the end of my long post. I hope my family love whatever I have prepared today. And yes, i made another batch of ice cream today. Chocolate flavour again, added 1 tsp of peppermint to try Peppermint Chocolate. Yumm. Will update when it's ready after i taste it. As for the orginal chocolate ice cream, it goes so well with the Milk Loaf above..

Bread, Ice Cream & Laksa

Today had a very happy day cos it was the very first time I managed to bake such a soft and fluffly bread. I tried this Hokkaido Milk Bread from Christine's Recipes, made Chocolate and Strawberry (I modified it from Home-made Mango recipe) Ice Cream from Wokking Mum and Laksa for dinner using Gourmet Home Laksa Premix.

All was compliments, except for the Strawberry Ice Cream that didnt managed to meet my hubby's expectation. Fortunately the Chocolate did managed to 'pass' in some ways. Bread, almost finishing with just enough for some snacking before the little ones' bedtime and then for breakfast tommorrow. I am so gonna bake them again tommorrow.

Laksa

 I am gonna share the recipe for the Laksa above.
1 pkt of Gourmet Home Laksa Premix
1 Cup of chopped dried shrimps
1 Tbsp of Sambal Chilli
1 Cup of Fresh Milk
2 Cups of water
1 tsp garlic
1 tsp Olive Oil
(u can see what ingredients u like. I use cockles, hard boiled egg, tau pok and fish cake.

Heat oil in pot, fry garlic til fragrant
Add sambal, choppped dried shrimps & premix
Add in water and boil
Add in ingredients of your choice
Add in milk after soup boils and taste. Leave aside
In a seperate pot, scald thick bee hoon, bean sprout. Leave aside
In a bowl, wash cockles and drain. Boil hot water, pour over and immediately pour away.
De-shell and leave aside.
After done, put bee hoon, bean sprout and ingredients nicely. Pour gravy over and serve with Laksa leaves.

Its really yummy but u need that extra dried shrimp and sambal to add flavour. If not its a bit 'light. With all the added flavours, hubby commented that it is nicer than those selling outside and no need go out eat Laksa anymore. So flattered. And for the bread, I am so making them again tommorrow and it will be a recipe for myself to keep for a soft loaf.. Happy cooking and enjoy.

So lately, I have went back into baking cakes and ok, the most difficult for myself to overcome - CHIFFON CAKES! And I am so glad cos i finally made it. SUCCESS!!

The little cute Chiffon

So I used 2 recipes, Pandan Coconut Chiffon Cake and Berry Tea Chiffon Cake. I followed the recipe for the Pandan Coconut but amended the Berry Tea Chiffon Cake to Chamomile Chiffon Cake. Here is the amendments I have made.

Pour hot water into it and leave it aside to cool.
With a hand whisk, whisk egg yolk, salt and sugar together.
Add oil, tea together with the tea leaf residue and flour into the egg yolk batter.
Whisk until well combined. 

Use a cake mixer, whisk the egg whites and cream of tartar till frothy.
Gradually add in sugar and whisk till stiff peaks form.
Fold in 1/4 of the meringue into the egg yolk mixture until combined.
Then fold in the rest of the meringue in two portions lightly until well combined.
Lastly fold in the cranberry.

Bread with TangZhong Method (Roux)

Before 'tanning'

Mayo Cheese & Choc Buns

End products

Last min decision on sunday to make some bread with Tang Zhong method as my Facebooj friends are saying that these are softer. So there I am clearing up after lunch aftermath and preparing the ingredients for Bread. 1st attempt on Tang Zhong so was kinda nervous and excited.

Anyway, end results is not bad, softer. But i prefer the 'short cut' method with the Cake Flour as per my previous post for Assorted Breads. But since hubby isnt so into the breads this round, i think i gonna start trying more variances.

Lazy Sunday Lunch - Cream Sauce Pasta

Had a fulfilling saturday as I went for Coffee early with my hubby and little ones and also with Grandma, grab a pressie for Hubby's fren and I got a cheap buy for a Cardigan at $9.95 and a sleeveless top for $10. Hahaha.. Then came back home, made1 normal Strawberry Swiss Roll and 2 small Nutella Swiss Roll. Final verdict, Strawberry still the best for Hubby's taste bud and Nutella taste alright to me. And I have been having the 'deco' frenzy and experimenting with all different designs. And yes, I got myself a new colour - BLUE (i already have PINK, YELLOW, GREEN). Here are some of the pics..

strawberry & nutella

 As for sunday, with hubby need to catch up on some work stuff, so no eating out hence more time for him to finish up his work. If early, maybe can be lazy and go out for some dinner and replenish for home groceries. =)

Then i remembered that I have bought the Cooking Cream about a week back and haven got chance to cook as my Grandma doesnt eat creamy food. So since she went for a 'stay-ca-tion' at my sis place so why not? So there I go, went to see what I have in the fridge. And lucky me, I got some white mushrooms, ham and scallops. Ok, I admit, scallops for me and maybe for my little ones. Not so much for hubby as he is not really a seafood person. But I am short of Parmesan Cheese which I have been wanting to buy but seems like NTUC don't carry them anymore.

I have gotten the recipe from this blogger and have been 'bookmarking' it for the longest time and haven gotten to it. Now, I am sharing this yummy recipe and i believe the next attempt with Parmesan Cheese will be even better.

Ham & Mushroom Cream Pasta
Recipe adapted from creamy ham mushroom spaghetti

So after lunch, i am trying out another Bread Recipe from my FB Kakis again. A new method that I haven got the courage to try before - Tang Zhong Method. I hope it wont fail me and I can share with you all here too.. Happy Weekend!!!

Some catchups on recipes - Tiramisu

My Happycall Group friends, I really don't know how to put it. But they are forever so friendly and willing to share good recipes and good bargains. I really love being in that group cos it gives me insipiration on what to cook, bake everyday.. Can never run out of ideas!! And yes, I got this recipe from Munch Ministry, given by Pauline Wong. Thanks babe, I am loving it but not 'naughty' enough la. Not much of alcohol taste, and need a better coffee. Already gotten some ingredients for 2nd attempt but i simply got too much items Q-ing in my To-Do-List already. HELP!!!

And yes, I forgot to take a pic of the side view when I was eating away. Shall remember to do that when I do the 2nd round with the Eggless Recipe.. Verdict from hubby, he don't really like it. But verdict from my relatives, they are ok with it. Felt so sinful eating it.. Haha.. Guess that's the prob with dessert. So yummy but so sinful!!

Another Attempt on the 'Artistic' Swiss Roll

Again, hubby out of town and we went out for lunch with the kiddos, la~kopi and the routine of walking 1 round about NTUC. Sometimes really feel like I am becoming an auntie, looking for good bargains, see what is good to cook for my family, and also to stock up on my baking passion.. All the trials and errors, am glad that my family is so supportive to try and give the cold hard truth!!

Today, i decided to try it using Orange Juice from the leftover mandarin, instead of the water that the recipe calls for. And together with the free Orange Jam given when i bought the Strawberry Jam for my next attempt on Strawberry Swiss Roll. Haha, auntie right?? Finally, i succeed!! And i finally know the reason why i failed for the previous 2 times!! The balance batter, into the cupcake cases!!!

My Craze with Assorted Breads

Assorted Bread Part 1

Assorted Bread Part 2

My craze started when i saw 1 of my Facebook friend baking them. Was so yummilicious from the look and it really makes me so determined to try and bake it for Big & Small Bread Lovers at home. Plus recently, I keep having problems with my normal brad loaf baking that I thought I needed a better recipe or rather, something for a change.

First attempt, as from the pic (Assorted Bread Part 1), I attempted to brush with beaten egg + milk and ended up in a pale yellow shade. Not that appealing but trust me, it was soft, yummy and my family love it.

The next day, I need to make a fresh batch cos it was finishing as everyone was so into the freshly baked and taste wonderful bread. So this time, I brush with jus egg yolk + a lil bit of milk. And yes, it looks so appealing.. The next thing to do is jus to improve on the shaping.

As for the bread texture, it is definetely soft and still SOFT even after a day. But anything more than that, I am not too sure as it always get FINISHED the very next day..

So I will share the recipe here then..

Assorted Breads, adapted from 胚芽玉米麵包 (translate in my interpretation for those who don't read chinese)

4) Punch out air in dough and transfer to a floured surface
5) Divide them into 8 pieces of approx70g (i divide into 40g), Rest for 15mins
6) Roll dough out and wrap filling of your choice (i did not try the filling as per recipe)
7) Leave to ptoof for 1 hour or until doubled in size

A Brief Introduction

I am a Stay-At-Home-Mother, SAHM in short form, with 2 little toddlers, 16 months old boy and 3 year old girl. Staying at home to spend time taking care of them, bonding with them is a luxury given by my hubby. And my favourite past time at home, it is to cook, bake for my lovely hubby, son & daughter. All are so supportive, esp my little ones.
Some recipes are adapted from Youtube, other cooking blogs and also from my group of baking and cooking friends from Facebook. I am always forgeting where I got my recipes from, even though it can be yummy and well-loved by my family. So from the inspirations from other cooking blogs, i am so inspired and also hope to have a place where I can get my tested and proven recipes.. So now, dont mind the simple designed blog.
