Assalamualaikum semua. Maaf lah Along dah lama sangat tak update blog atau pun ke udara di facebook kerana teramat sibuk kebelakangan ni sehingga nak on pc pun tak dapat langsung. Untuk yang setia menanti dan tidak di hampakan, Along curi sedikit masa untuk kongsikan resepi yang mudah ni. Perbezaan antara kek gulung dan bahulu gulung.... bahulu takda letak minyak atau butter.... itu memang resepi Melayu tradisional lah. Mudah jer nak buat ni jika sedia ada jem nenas atau boleh juga letak jem lain yg anda suka.

White Chocolate Mud Cake (Kek Coklat Putih Lembab)

Attempted the recipe from The Australian Women's Weekly Cookbook which was a gift from a very kind reader.... I think I didn't do it very well as it was not as I expected... The cook book shows a very dense cake but mine turned out like ordinary cake.... The tastes is a bit sweet but my children and hubby like it. I think probably my oven was set too high temperature.... The recipe suggested baking for 1 hour and 40 minutes but mine was browned and cook in one hour.... will need to give another try on this.

Here is the recipe.... a bit lazy to type today so a photo snap of the page from the cookbook is a good solution.... click on it to enlarge it.

 Berkenan nak cuba Kek Coklat Putih ni.... sesuatu yg ada kelainan. Resipi ni Along ambil dari buku The Australian Women's Weekly Cookbook, pemberian dari seorang pembaca yg sangat baik-hati. Semuga perkongsian resipi ini di sini memberi keberkatan dan rahmat dari Allah kepada nya... aamiin.
 Along rasa mungkin Along salah set suhu oven yg terlalu tinggi sebab kek masak hanya dalam masa sejam, sepatut nya sejam 40 minit.... oleh itu kek Along naik jadi gebu dan tidak selembab yg sepatut nya. Apa-apa pun rasa nya sedap manis coklat... AlongRiz, Liana dan hubby kata sedap.... habis licin juga makan bersama2 dgn anak2 & cucu2 sedara.

Hard Crust Fudge Squares

I just received baking books as gifts from a cyber friend and at the same time wanted to bake something for my new Bangladesh neighbor. While excitedly glancing through the best-selling books, this one caught my eyes because it seems different than the typical brownies I made before. These brownies are awesome.... unlike the typical brownies which have thin crackle surface, this one has thick crispy crust on top almost like cookies whilst the inside part is moist fudgy like melting chocolate! I'm glad I tried it as it is a new discovery that added to my baking recipe collections.

 Nak belajar buat daging pekasam tak... Senang jer nak buat nya tapi kena sabar peram sehingga daging lembut dan mesra rasa. Along suka pekasam daging sebab langsung takda bau langtung. Daging nya akan jadi lembut dan cuma masak sebentar sahaja. Rasa nya memang lah masam2 sebab di perap dgn asam jawa. Masak Lemak Cili Api pedas2 sikit memang terangkat. Goreng dengan bawang & cili pun sedap.

Along buat guna daging segar dari Qurban hari tu tapi buat sedikit jer, cukup utk keluarga yg kecil ni. Kalau anda nak buat banyak pun takda masalah tapi selepas peram jangan simpan terlalu lama. Along perap sampai dua minggu sebab terlalu sibuk sehingga terlupa... tapi alhamdulillah ok jer.

Kuih Kundas

 Not many people know this kuih especially the later generation.... It is typically known as Kuih Kundas in my hometown although there are few other names like Cucur Kembung, Pak Tongkol, Kuih Bantal, etcs. My mother used to make them in a big batch using no precise measurements but the success was the dough riser sold in the next door groceries shop.... Nowadays, nobody knows what it the scientific name of the rising agent as it is obsolete.

 I tried making the same way that my mother did but using bicarbonate soda and the outcome was disappointing with hard texture. I gave it up ever since until recently when my eldest brother made a request for it again... so I decided to give this recipe a try which has many success feedback from the followers.... I was so thrilled with my attempt.... it turned out just the way I wanted it.... soft and fluffy with big air pockets which is perfect for stuffing peanut sauce.

INGREDIENTS:
225g Flour
120g Sugar
1 tsp Soda Bikarbonat
110ml Water


METHOD:
1. Mix all ingredients until smooth, no kneading necessary.
Leave to rest 30 minutes, or keep overnight.
2. Divide dough into small portions and roll flat. Alternatively, roll flat the whole lot and slice into smaller pieces.
Use flour to dust when handling as the dough is a bit sticky.
3. Deep fry in pre-heated oil until fluffy and nice golden brown.
4. Serve with peanut sauce or curry gravy.

 Kuih Kundas ni kat Perak kita panggil "Kuih Kundeh", kat tempat lain macam2 nama Cucuq Kembung, Kuih Bantal, dll.... amat popular waktu Along kecik2, Emak selalu buat.... kalau buat kena buat banyak2 sebab anak2 ramai dan semua nya suka sangat makan ni.... kalau ada kuah kacang atau kari memang best cicah. Ada yang suka mencicah, ada gak yang suka belah tepi nya dan tuang kuah kacang ke dalam ruang yg kembung tu. Kuih ni walau pun kembung tapi nak yg berisi sedikit kena leperkan jangan terlalu nipis... kalau tidak jadi Roti Puri pulak nanti.

 Dulu2 Emak buat kuih ni guna 'Ibu Kuih' yg di beli kat kedai runcit depan rumah. Sekarang ni kalau tanya apa nama ibu kuih tu takda pula yg tau... ada yang kata 'Pontas' tapi kalau cari kat baking shop, tiada siapa yg tau lagi. Ada gak kita orang cuba ganti dgn bic soda tapi kuih tu jadi amat keras.... selepas tu Along pun dah give up nak cuba... sehingga lah baru2 ni abang Along nak sangat makan kuih ni.... baru tergerak hati nak mencuba resepi yg satu ni sebab ramai yg sudah mencuba dgn jaya nya. Mula2 tu ragu juga sebab resepi ni guna bic soda... tapi kalau tak cuba kita tak tau kan.... Selepas mencuba, alangkah gembira nya hati Along sebab kuih nya lembut, kembung dan bersarang di dalam nya.... sama seperti yg Emak buat dahulu!

Suasana Hari Raya Qurban di Kampung 2015

Since I got married in the last 25 years, this is my first Idh Adha celebration with my mother and siblings in my hometown as far as I can recall..... the reasons were because Idh Adha public holiday was only one day and always coincided with our peak work period in the past years while children had no school term break. Staying in the East Malaysia was just not possible to fly back with whole family for one day only.

In my hometown, Idh Adha is celebrated as bigger occasion than Idh Fitri. We had three days consecutively of family gathering with very busy activities and of course 'big makan-makan'. My mother is the planner and the leader in deciding what activities, the menu, the guests, etcs. Syukur at age of 75 she is still healthy to do most of the cooking with help of all of us. I will share some of my mother's delicious cooking in here. I will never able to beat my mother's cooking... really finger-licking good.

DAY2 MENU & ACTIVITIES:
 On Day 2 Idh Adha, we slaughtered three goats for distribution to neighbors and the needies. One goat was for our own consumption which was cooked in special Korma recipe by my AbangNdak. The Lamb Korma was super delicious as the meat was very fresh. We enjoyed it very much that I forgot to snap any photo on day two....

My niece cooked special Chicken Feet Noodle Soup to serve the hardworking men and women who did all the necessary activities like slaughtering, meat cutting, packing and delivering. This is her specialty with very tasty and nice spice aroma...

DAY3 MENU & ACTIVITIES:
 All the family members, some relatives and friends gathered at my mother's house right after Subuh. It was the big day of the Idh as two cows were about to be sacrificed. It was a very busy day from early morning.... preparing breakfast, setting up the slaughtering area in the next door empty land and getting the equipment ready. There were more than 70 of us with lots of noises but so much fun and good feeling of togetherness.

The empty land was well prepared with tents for various purposes.... me and my niece had our fun cooking corner with freshly prepared lattice crepe and Roti Puri in addition to other ready prepared food. Other tents were for eating and working areas.

Breakfast Menu:
1.a Fried Rice
1.b Spaghetti Bolognaise

White Honeycomb Cake - Pak Thong Koh

I was very thrilled to see the outcome of my first trial of the kuih.... although it could have been better if my steamer didn't dry out half way. This kuih was so soft and very tasty as it uses coconut juice and most importantly is to achieve the desired look of honeycombs....! I will not be successful without a help from my FB friend who supplied the flour and guided me step by step on the making process.... such a lovely friend whom I only know from the Facebook.

Unfortunately I didn't manage to get the permission of the original owner to share the recipe in this blog. Hopefully she will respond to my request later.

Batter fully fermented, ready for steaming

BAHASA MALAYSIA VERSION
  Seronok nya dapat merasa kuih ni.... dah lama teringin nak makan tapi tak pernah nampak orang Melayu jual kuih ni. Alhamulillah, dapat sahabat yg baik hati di alam maya yg sudi berkongsi resepi dgn Along, bahkan dapat tepung nya sekali dan penerangan terperinci cara2 nak buat.

 Syukur menjadi walaupun air kukusan terkering separuh jalan.... kalau tidak mungkin lebih cantik lagi sarang nya. Kuih ni lembut dan rasa nya sedap wangi sebab letak air kelapa.

 Buat masa ni Along tak dapat nak kongsikan resepi nya sebab masih menunggu tuan punya resepi asal beri izin... Harap2 dia jawab mesej Along tu....

Bingka Telur Kastad

The women social group of this residence organized morning coffee ala pot-lucks. Since we are all from various nationalities, we were asked to bring our national specialties. Bingka is Malay specialty cake (kuih) so I thought it will be a good idea for this purpose. Coincidently I saw Sue posted the kuih while I was searching for idea... I like the kuih very much and so did the women.... It is easy to adapt to this kuih and in fact it doesn't require any mind twisting at all.... They all love it at first bite!

Pepagi lagi dah bangun nak buat kuih ni, nasib sempat juga siapkan untuk sarapan pagi dgn kawan2. Jadi cantik jer kuih ni.... tapi Along lak gatal pi grill 5 minit sebab nak extra garing.... tut2 terhitam pulak..... kikikiiii.... tapi hitam tu yg sedap harum tau!
