Tea Time : Malaysian Way

Seems like steamed food will be a frequent feature in this blog. Why, we had this hankering for traditional desserts more often nowadays! So brace yourself with another yummy delights... 

Old time apam beras has been one of many popular breakfast or tea time delicacies in Malaysia. It comes in variety of colors though the traditional colors usually in white (natural), pink or yellow. But my sisters were being creative with their coloring so we had that lovely baby blue, light green, soft pink and lavender color for the apams!

Kitchen Invaders 7: Going Traditional

Morning folks!

School holiday already started and no doubt about it for those who didn't know. The level of cheeriness  that has increased splendidly was a dead give away. What else could kids do to embrace their short lived and fleeting freedom from school works except running around shouting their joy right? Was it not how I acted once? 

Let just say that I kinda miss my childhood and what I used to eat back then. To rectify the problem, all I need to do was asking the right person to fulfill simple request on short notice. Who else if not my dear sister! So, after a couple of hours here it is... The perfect, peel-off layers of kuih lapis! 

Yeah, you read that right. In my book, kuih lapis is not perfect unless the layers could be peeled off one by one. And guess what? That's how we ate it for tea. Sticky fingers and all, but that was the true joy. Say, who want a piece?

Kitchen Invaders 5: Steam It

I begged my sister to make the cake. Really. It was so good by itself alone! Soft and moist, it tasted so much better the next day. I totally recommend it to chocolate lovers. The first time it was made, I haven't managed to get a decent picture. This time around, I forgot to photograph the whole cake! Guess you'll have to contain with the last slice... ^_^ 

relax and chill for a while

what will you do when you had a craving for curry and bread? i supposed you would say, have a curry bread!

as in japan, they have kare pan a.k.a curry bread. well, i haven't taste any of it yet. i'll keep that in my future project. 

but no, i'm not making curry bread which usually will be bake. i want something softer, without the crusty, crispy crust. and guess what? it's time for pau kari a.k.a steamed curry bun!!! huhuhu...it's soft, it's fluffy and it's a little bit spicy thanks to the spices in it.

and let me tell you something, i have three of these right after it's out from the steamer. darn delicious... ^__^  i'm so full afterward i even skipped dinner. no complaint. have it with black coffee, you cannot say anything else except to close your eyes with bliss... ;-)
