Oopps….I almost forgot that I have a blog. Thanks to the egg custard that made me realize it. Coz I intend to write it down in my blog as my own record. It was my first attempt and it turns out quite okay but it could be better. I did not manage to snap a picture of it as I was too eager to try how does it taste like. The ingredients that I use was pretty simple and it is just right for one serving (you can double up the ingredients as you like depending on your desired no. of servings). Since this is my first time, I was doing it in a very small portion.

Ingredients:

• 1 egg
• 3 tablespoons of fresh milk (or evaporated milk)
• 3 tablespoons of water
• 4 teaspoons of sugar (or lesser; depending on your personal preference on the sweetness)

Methods:

1. Prepare steamer. Boil the water.
2. Beat the eggs lightly.
3. Add in the sugar and whisk till the sugar dissolves.
4. Add in the milk and water and beat the eggs lightly (you can substitute the water with ginger juice if you like to add some flavors to it)
5. If there are bubbles, use a paper towel to dab it slowly (slight bubbles are okay so long the surface is smooth).
6. Strain the mixture into small bowl and cover it with foil (to avoid the steam of the water to flow in).
7. Transfer the bowl to the steamer and steam it for about 10-15 minutes  in low or medium heat (avoid using high heat or else your custard will not be smooth and full of holes on the surface).
8. Don’t over steam the eggs or else it will be tough.

Try it yourself and enjoy! I gonna make my 2nd attempt very soon and it will definitely be better

I came across this dessert stall at Pavilion, right in front of the Padini Concept Store and decided give it a try coz they are having the Buy 1 Get 1 Free promotion. The dessert originality is from Taiwan and they claimed that their ingredients are healthy. They are famous with the taroballs in their dessert which came in two flavours (I think it is yam and sweet potato). How’s the taste? Not bad, I like the chewy feeling of the taroballs (but some people find it annoying).

This is an amazing device that they will give you upon ordering. It’s a beeping UFO that will beeps with lights and vibrates when your order is ready. The small wordings on the device reads:

“BEEPING UFO”

This is a “beeping UFO” that is part of our wonderful alien technology here on SNOWFLAKE. This allows you to chillout while we make your order.

When this baby UFO starts vibrating and flashing,

THAT MEANS IT”S READY !

Please go to the collection counter to retrieve your yummy mouth watering dessert!

Please return the “BEEPING UFO” to the aliens……uh…..i mean the staff at the counter before collections.

THANKS!

Psst….now you know why Taiwan is so much more technologically advanced

…ALIENS…

I wonder how much they spent for the device. I find it cool but it’s quite unnecessary tho. And why are they calling their staff aliens? LOL. And hell yea, all taiwanese are aliens for being technologically savvy. Haha. Okie, back to the dessert, I ordered are the Bestseller, hot and my friend chose the cold one.

Bestseller Hot – NOT RECOMMENDED

(1) It is not presentable.
(2) It smells like those chinese bitter herbal tea.
(3) It taste like those sweet herbal tea (similar to pat chi chou).
(4) The soup gets thicker half way coz of the grass jelly.
(5) The peanut taste weird.
(6) The taroballs get slimy in the hot soup.

Bestseller Cold - better than the hot one, so it is okay to try

(1) There are ice underneath the taroballs and grass jelly (ice-kacang type).
(2) The cold taroball is nicer and more chewy compare to the hot one.
(3) It taste more normal as compare to the hot one.
(4) Can taste the flavour of the orange and greyish taroballs.

After trying one of my friend’s homemade Olio, she inspired me to make my own too. This was my very  first attempt. For a noob, I guess it is not too bad, just that tak berapa cukup rasa sahaja. :p To stingy on the salt. LOL.  Here is the recipe that she shared with me:

Ingredient A:
1 pack Angel hair pasta (or you can susbtitute with spaghetti, fettucine or linguini based on your own preference)
Exra virgin olive oil
A bit of salt

Ingredient B:
A bit of salt
Garlics
Prawns
Scallops 

Ingredient C:
Oregano
Parsley
Dried chili (or chili flakes)
Black pepper
Chicken stock

Here starts the cooking process:

Ingedient A:
Boil a pot of water and put in the portion of pasta as desired.  Don’t forget to add a bit of salt and olive oil in it. To keep the pasta from all sticking together in one lump, you can put some olive oil in after it’s cooked. 

Ingredient B:
Chuck in the chopped garlic (about 8 cloves). Fry the garlic first in a little bit of olive oil until cooked, then put all the remaining ingredients in.

Ingredient C:
Add in more olive oil and chuck in the pasta and fry together. Add about 1 tablespoon of Oregano (I use McCormick brand), black pepper and some crushed dried chilli flakes (as much as you like).

For better taste, add in 1/2 a cup of chicken stock (but if you’re lazy, just put half of those Knorr chicken cubes in a bit of hot water). Also add a bit of salt (sampai cukup rasa). Finally, when it is almost done, add in some parley (McCormick brand too).

Tadaa…..it is ready to serve.

Savour the finger lickin’ good banana leaf rice? Yes, me too! And I just had mine. But do you know how to deal with the leaf on your table when you are done with your meal? As for me, I always got confused on which direction I should fold. Should it be downwards? Or upwards? And I finally got the answers:-

Upwards???

No….no….no…..I bet the owner of the curry house will be upset seeing you folding it this way. This would mean that their food is not nice and you are not satisfy with the meal served.

Downwards???

So, to avoid getting those weird stares from the owner, you fold it downwards (or folding it towards you) and I bet that they will be smiling at you.  By folding the leaf downwards is actually complimenting their food (nice and satisfactory). So, if you were the owner, of coz you’ll be smiling to see all the leaves folding downwards, rite?

P/S: See??? Told ya, I have always got confused which is the right way to fold the leaves. Thanks for the correction, peeps.  I have already amend it accordingly. The mistake earlier is very much regretted.
