Eid Mubarak tomorrow!

Wow, tomorrow all Muslims in the world will celebrate Eid Mubarak.. I don't know if I should feel happy or not. First, my journal is not complete yet, and it slow down my research. Second, I'm alone here in Dublin!! Although I do have friends, still it is not complete if you're not celebrating it with your families.
However, this year, I manage to do tarawih at 10 last days of Ramadhan, which is quite a feat. I'm sure I wanna do more next year Insya Allah.. But still I did not khatam quran until 30 juzuk. Should read it diligently.. ^_^;

Alas, to all muslims, my friends, and most dearest my families in Malaysia, Selamat Hari Raya. Please forgive me (like Bryan Adams song.. hehehe.. ) and halalkan makan minum that I have before... waaa.. broken english maaaaa...

Oh, for the celebration, we try to suggest any foods and cook different for each person. So, I wanna try rendang daging for this raya. Not sure if it is okay, but better try than not!!. So here is the recipe:

utk 1kg daging

Bahan A

15 cili kering
2 bawang besar
5 bawang merah
5 bawang putih
1.5 inci lengkuas
1.5 inci halia
3 serai

Blend sume ni..pastu tumis sampai naik bau..then masukkan serbuk kurma (agak2..4 sudu besar) kacau kacau...then masukkan santan (1.5 tin chaokoh tu)
then kerisik ( 2.5 packet kecik yg beli dkt asia food )..then hiris2 daun limau purut..masukkan last skali..kacau2..dah siap.

haii.. hopefully it would tast okay to others.. As for me.. I'll just eat it as usual..

That's all for now!!!

Kek coklat kukus

The cake should be moist since you kukus.. but the way I made is not moist.. Maybe need to practice more..

kek coklat kukus
================

2 cawan plain flour (tepung gandum)
2 cawan gula halus
1 cawan koko
4 biji telur
1 tin susu cair (evaporated milk)
1 sudu kecilvanila
1 sudu kecil soda bikarbonat
1 sudu kecil baking powder
1/2 kandungan bekas double whipping cream
1 bar cooking chocolate
1/3 cawan susu segar
2 sudu mentega

Cara buat:
- panaskan mentega dalam periuk sehingga cair
- campurkan gula
- kacau sehingga gula cair.
- sejukkan periuk.
- pukul 4 biji telur sehingga kembang sedikit (buih sedikit).
- ayak tepung, koko, soda bikarbonat dan baking powder.
- campurkan bahan yang diayak ke dalam bekas telur dan masukkan susu cair.
- masukkan vanila dan kacau hingga agak sebati.
- masukkan dalam bekas acuan yang disapu majerin.
- kukus selama 1 jam.

cream tgh
=========
- pukul double whipping cream sehingga agak likat.
- panaskan separuh bar cooking chocolate dalam microwave
- pukul bersama dengan cream
- potong setengah kek dan pisahkan
- sapukan cream di atas kek dan boleh letak pisang di atasnya.
- tangkupkan 2 permukaan yang disapu cream supaya 2 lapisan tersebut bercantum.

topping
=======
- cairkan cooking coklat dengan susu segar dan mentega.
- sapukan ke atas kek dan lapisan tepi.

Bad experience, the cake feels like a bit hard, I did not know when to put evaporated milk. I think when you blend with tepung and others, that time I should put the milk. So, this is the new edited recipe :D

Fasting

This is the first post excluding the testing post since I create this blog. Shame on me.. ^_^; Too lazy to write and no story to tell. Anyway, this month is fasting month, but it's already nearly a month I'm fasting. To tell the truth, I've never thought that I will cook on my own, but here I am.. I already test quite a few recipe and it is amazing that I can cook quite well.. Yeah, you can do everything if you strive for it. I write the recipe to make sure it won't lose anywhere. Writing on a paper is okay, but, I'm sure I'll make the paper into nasi lemak wrapper :D just kidding!!!

Okay here is Masak 3 rasa recipe:

Bahan yang perlu dicincang:
2 ulas bawang putih
1 lawang bawang besar
1/2 inci halia
5-6 biji lada api (you can replace with 1 biji lada hidup to reduce the spiciness)
1 batang serai

Cara2:
Goreng ikan seperti biasa (boleh letak tepung utk elak ikan melekat ke kuali)
Masukkan garam, gula, perahan limau secukup rasa. Nak letak sos tomato pon ok.
Masukkan nenas jika ada.
Masukkan hirisan limau purut.
Sedikit tepung jagung(dicairkan) untuk memekatkan kuah.

Sorrylah.. no picture at the moment.. forgot to take it at that time.. But my housemates said that it's delicious and we finish the whole pot of rice that day.. huhu.. ^_^;
