Sagu gula melaka

1 of my fav dessert! Lagi-lagi jumpa sagu warna pink, memang ngam la :) I belajar buat sagu ni pun dari website, search je kat google, semua nye keluar. Macam-macam cara jugak, so I baca dari 3,4 blog cmne nk buat sagu ni. Kekadang diaorg share ape yg boleh & tak boleh buat. 

Ada juga terbaca 1 problem ni, diaorg tanya kenapa jadi macam jeli lepas rebus. Sebabnya kena toskan dan basuh sagu tu untuk buang kanji. Baru la cantik jadinya.

Suka tengok color2 sagu ni. Meriah je, ada pink, putih & hijau (pandan). [1 paket = 300gram]

Alaa, zaman sekarang beli santan dlm kotak je senang. Hehe. Santan ni pekat & sedap. Boleh la try.

Ok, masak santan 200ml ni dengan air. Kalau xnk pekat, letak la banyak air. Ada org suka pekat & berlemak. So terpulangla ye :) Kemudian masukkan daun pandan. Kacau je dengan api yang perlahan. Santan ni xboleh dibiarkan, kacau je lebih kurang 10 minit. Jangan masak dgn api besar, nanti pecah minyak. Lepas da masak santan ni, sejukkan dalam peti.

Yang ni plak cara nk rebus sagu. Tunggu sampai air mendidih, baru la masukkan sagu. Pastu rebus dalam 20-25 minit (untuk sagu 300gm). Agak2 da kembang, maknanye dah masak la tu. Masa rebus ni pun kena la selalu kacau. Nanti  melekat plak sagu2 ni. 

Lepas da rebus, tunggu 2-3 minit. Toskan masa panas2 tu & cuci sagu  tu untuk hilangkan kanji. Mula2 mmg nampak macam jeli, tapi lepas da basuh banyak kali, baru la nampak sagu nye. Pastu masukkan la dalam acuan yg anda mahu :)

Lupa plak nk snap gambar masa masak gula melaka. Xpela, I bgtau je la ye. Cara-cara nak masak gula melaka ni senang je. Masak gula melaka (ikut kemahuan berapa banyak) dengan air sedikit. Kemudian masukkan daun pandan macam masak santan tadi. Air jangan banyak sangat, nanti xpekat plak gula nya. Biar kan sehingga gula melaka sebati dengan air. 

Tadaaa, ni la sagu pink marvelous kt lepas dah letak santan & gula melaka! hehe ;)

Boleh la hiaskan dengan buah favourite anda! Siap tuk dihidang :)

Selamat mencuba! ;)

Tapioca Pearls / Bubble

Tapioca pearl or known as black pearl is my favourite! Especially with chocolate drink. Yummy! I call it 'Chocolate Bubble' :) There is also bubble tea but I'm not a fan of it. Don't like the taste of milk tea in my Chocolate. Usually we saw it in black color at shops, but today we make it for ourselves so we try it in red and green.  Anyway, my Boyfie knows I'm crazy bout it and he make this for me. I help too, but he was the one who make the dough. So sweet of him 
Well, at the beginning we shape it into small round but at the end, it became more big and bigger (tired). lol. Its not so easy to make it round as it seen. We took hours to get it ready. Plus it took some time to boil it and keep it cool. So this is the shocking red pearl that we made. 

We boil it for half an hour. 

And Tadaaa. This is how it came out. Love the red color.

Owh, and this is the green pearl. I didn't had the time to snap a pic of it when it was ready :( So this is the tapioca pearl in making. Till then :)

Roses Chocolate

I'm a chocolate lover. I can't live without it. Where can I buy this Cadbury Roses chocolate? :( I used to eat when I was little. But there is no more in Malaysia I guess. So sad! Anyhow, Cadbury should sell this Roses in Malaysia. Although is quite expensive but its worth it.

This chocolate makes me way tempting. My favorite is the strawberry dream. Oh my, I'm drooling when I see this chocolates. Crazy huh? But thats me :) Second, I love Tangy Orange Creme. I love chocolate that has filling in it. And u know what, I just love all kinds of Cadbury chocolates!

Love is pain

Sadness. Sad. That is what i can describe my feelings now. It seems to be like the past years where my tears drop almost everyday. I dont want to tell people my problems each time. I dont want them to know how bad I feel each day but sometimes I cant stand it. Falling in love is not easy. It is so painful. I wonder why people say 'Love is pain'. Now I know what that means. I wake up each day with a broken heart. The feeling of waiting is so painful for me. But it seems to be easy for him. Do u know hows the feeling when u are being ignored by a person that u care so much and would do anything for him? If yes, than probably u will know exactly how i feel. Sometimes I feel so lonely. I keep on waiting but at the end, I'm the one that he shouted at. That time I feel like walking slowly and go deeply into the the sea. To see whether he truly love me or not.

Sometimes I feel like a stranger to him. Like he doesnt care hows ur feeling. Love, why are u so pain? How much tears do u want to take it from me?

But one thing that keep me happy and alive is because of my lovely family. My mum who always there for me no matter what. My sister that cares for me. My lil brothers who shines my day. I'm thankful for that Allah. Thank you for giving me a wonderful and healthy family.

Maybe now I should learn to give him some space. Maybe he doesn't love me like he used to. I love him so much and I pray to God to give me strength to take this as a conjecture.

*note: be strong no matter in what situation! There is always people behind u that will support u. Insyaallah.

24-7

'I want you to be always by my side'. That is always what people wish for. So do I, but its impossible. He always said to me, I will be bored if he always be beside me. But not for me. I just love being surrounded by the people that I love. Not I'm asking him to sit around me 24-7, but I just want him to be there whenever I need someone to talk to. 

See, he always get busy with his job. Yeah, I know nowadays people are trying hard to survive but when we work hard, we tend to stress out and need more time to rest. He always doesn't have time for himself either. I'm so pity for him.  But one thing I loved about him, is that he always try to see me no matter how busy he is. Like those days, he came to my house almost every night and he didn't tell me his coming. Well, I do love suprise but sometimes I'm not neat and need some time before I see him. 

Time! Oh, time! We always did not had enough time when we were together. Its like we wished that the time would just freeze for a moment to capture the memory. Oh, my. I wish it will be true.

Women

A women knows when she ask u. A women wouldn't ask many times if she's not so confident about it. Is it so hard to understand woman? No, unless u are trying to lie to her. U will find excuses. And when she shows the truth, 1 word that u will always say. "I'm trying not to hurt u, so i lied but that doesnt mean i didn't love u". Eventhough when she's mad when u tell her the truth, but she actually understand u. Its just her mood that she can't control. Deep inside, although its hard to face the fact but she will accept it no matter how. So u see, a woman heart is so fragile. Easily been hurt. So be patient with her. 

* Women are like police, they can have all the evidence in the world but they still want a confession -unknown-

Buttercream

Ingredients: 

1/2 cup solid vegetable shortening

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter or margarine softened

1 teaspoon of vanilla essence

4 cups sifted confectioners sugar (approximately 1 lb.)

2 tablespoons of milk

Instructions:

Step 1

In large bowl, cream shortening and butter with electric mixer. Add vanilla. Gradually add sugar, one cup at a time, beating well on medium speed. Scrape sides and bottom of bowl often. When all sugar has been mixed in, icing will appear dry. Add milk and beat at medium speed until light and fluffy. Keep bowl covered with a damp cloth until ready to use.

Step 2

For best result, keep icing bowl in refrigerator when not in use. Refrigerated in an airtight container, this icing can be stored 2 weeks. Rewhip before using.

Step 3

For thin (spreading) consistency icing, add 2 tablespoons light corn syrup, water or milk.

Step 4

For pure white icing (stiff consistency), omit butter, substitute an additional 1/2 cup shortening for butter and add 1/2 teaspoon No-Color Butter Flavor. Add up to 4 tablespoons light corn syrup, water or milk to thin for icing cakes.

..:: This is the recipe that I usually use. I love to use butter instead of margarine. It depends on u if u want to use unsalted butter. Any butter can do. And for milk, I use evaporated (Ideal) milk. The most important thing is to sifted ur icing sugar. If not, ur butter cream will not look smooth. The shortening however will make ur butter cream looks more shining, so don't forget that. U can get all this ingredients from the bakery shop. So, Good Luck! Till then :) ::..

Flower Cutie Cupcake & Vanilla Muffin

Yeay, I'm happy today! Although it's not so perfect but I'm quite satisfied with my cute cupcakes. I made it for my friends. See the color of my butter cream. How fascinating it is. Seriously, love to see the colors. At first, my niece only ask me for a plain cupcake without the cream. She's a little bit shock I guess when she see's the color. lol. Then, while I'm decorating, I gave her some of the butter cream to taste, and she loves it. After that, she only ate the butter cream and doesn't ate the cake. *what a cute niece! :)

I've put some chocolate spread into the cake mixture. Its something like Nutella spread. Some mixture wouldn't be like this (float) if u put the chocolate spread. However, this mixture is light and the chocolate spread will not go down (sunken) because I use moist chocolate recipe.

Tadaaaa, packed and ready to give out to my friends :) 

I made this specially for my friend's engagement on 9.10.11. How cute is the date is it? *Cute like my cupcake! lol

On the same day, my lovely mum bake this vanilla muffin for my sister. She's totally have different taste with me.<3 :="" and="" chocolate="" for="" it="" lol.="" nbsp="" now.="" p="" s="" she="" so="" that="" then="" till="" vanilla.="">

Homemade Chocolate

Ok, my favourite part! Chocolate in the making. Yes, I just love chocolate bar, chocolate snack,  chocolate spread, homemade chocolate and anything that has connection with Chocolates! lol. This time I made homemade chocolate. Just for fun. Seeing my friend making homemade chocolates, make me wanna try it also. Thanks to Puan Illa in helping me and lend me some material to make this homemade chocolate. Look easy but u have to be quiet patient to make it nice and neat.

There is orange filling and rice crisp in the middle of the chocolate. Exactly like eating Dairy Milk Snack. This is my first time, so its not very smooth and nice. lol. Visit this blog for more info about homemade chocolate or to order - http://chocilla4u.blogspot.com. Till then :)
