Kuih Mor

Kuih Mor..like english shortbread dusted with icing sugar..another one of my favourite! Not easy to get the nice kuih mor since the Malay makcik did not bake it...been trying for many version and as usual.. why make myself difficult in looking for the nice kuih mor... I bake it myself..according to my likes and taste.
Kuih Mor.. not many people like to eat because most of the time.. once you put it into your mouth..it will stick up there and make it difficult to swallow and the next thing you do is looking for water.. hence one really need the 'kung fu' in baking a kuih mor that will at least 'melt' or less sticky once you pop it into the mouth and not too sweet... and also to make it as round as possible...is there any mould that make it round??? haven't spotted it so far yet...

The picture shown was my second attempt and was with cornflakes..I love cornflakes!! so i added some cornflakes in it..
Does not look that snow white.. because I don't prefer sweet... still have plenty of room to improve as some of my friends said it was too dry... well.. Practice makes Perfect!!!

Pineapple Tarts

I have been craving for pineapple tarts since I spotted it on the supermarket shelves many many years ago... I used to buy the one from Taiwan and it is only available in the market during CNY... Then again during Hari raya....

This year I would like to try out to bake some pineapple tarts..and conclusion is.. it is not easy to bake to the close perfection!!! Not easy to shape it by hand and with the jam..your hand got messy! and with my speed.. I only able to bake around 70 tarts in 2 hours with preparation and baking time.. with some cheat of getting the ready made pineapple jam...

The picture I posted was my second attempt...I love it though but some (same race as me) commented it dry crust and some (other races) love it!!..Hmm... Chinese do fussy in their food!! ahhaha

Honeydew Sago

Getting lazy of baking cakes recently...may be I am still in holiday mood and waiting for the CNY to arrive in three weeks time...hmm.. Quite busy also with works, my daily routine with some of the new special attention group.. stress up a bit with the workload assigned...
"There is nothing fair in this world!" How far do you agree with this statement??.. Well. for me.. it is true that most of the things are not fair in this world just like we got different fingers length for our own hand!! But sometime I think we can try to make it as fair as possible though equal fairness cannot be achieved!! It is true that we will think of ourselves first before others coz this is by nature...may be only 1 out of 10 will think of others first then herself or himself later....Learning to listen and accept other people's views are still not an easy job for most of us.. even to me... But as long as you can give me a reasonable reason...I will still accept it.. I am not really that stubborn!!!
So..with all the heat from the surrounding and from my work..i will need something to cool down.. so I make myself this honeydew sago as dessert to cool me down...Eating is the best remedy for me...
