Kuih Bakar Melaka

Kueh Serimuka

Kuih Lapis

Rainbow Lapis Kueh

Puteri Salad

I remembered asking my mum to prepare this many times during my 2nd pregnancy... luv eating it. This is the most popular cakes amongst the Malaccan.... and the nyoya's. Last oct I did a demo of this dessert at Raffles Town club and it was well received by the participants.

I used real pandan juice....

The size of mold I used was 8 x 8 inch.... during ramadhan, I distributed it to my neighbours still got many left....

Epok Epok (Malay style curry puff)

Whenever I do this Malay pastry, I will surely remember the good old days when I was young helping my mum doing it. The other day we had this for the break fast.... I thought was a good time to pass the brought down recipe to Yasmine. As ever she is always eager to learn.

A few years back.... when we still sell at it at our cousin stall it was always a sold out pastry.... thanks to mum.

A good way to start... to take care of hygiene and safety first.

Hmmm...these are some of my many cookbooks.... bought local and overseas.... will be passed down to Yasmine someday. I baked my first butter cookies independently at the age of 12 yrs old without supervision.... my mum trusted me with the oven, I guess her judgement was not wrong after all :)

I used to take up 1 shelf but now since my trips to Indonesia.... I keep on buying books from there and guess what Ive taken up 2 shelf, 1 storage box and a bag of books stuff in my closet :)

Roti Jala (aka roti kirai)

Well it' second day of Ramadhan. The eve of ramadhan, I told Yasmine that if she fulfill the full day fasting, I'll top up her daily allowance.... and to my surprise she did and so did Irfan.

Hmmm... Roti jala (not sure why its called "roti"..... means bread)... I would rather call it pan cake pastry stuff. Or should it be renamed... Lempeng Jala... :) oh what ever. Anyway this is Yasmine favourite's, today when she saw me doing it.... she suddenly asked if she could break her fast.....? Saw this unique style of Jalar...ing, at a "kenduri" the other day so I thought I give it a try.

Check it out this is my new found "luv". You need a good flat pan to do this..... guess what, kind HB bought a German made flat pan for me from Metro.... he said it was about $60++. He said that since he likes pancakes... so he bought it.

Recipe from my mum 50 yrs old cookbook:

500 gm of plain flour

650 gm of water

1 egg

a pinch of salt

1 teaspoon of alkaline water

Hand whisk all in and mix well, you are ready to Jala or do the netting.

So this is what for 2nd day Ramadhan's break fast.... peeps.
