At last!!! I can say i've passed.

Bites Tale : The ones i made last time were too hard that i can kill someone...

Yippie!!!

Not bad huh??

It's not so hard anymore... only need some improvement on the base.. guess i really need to add some bread softener as what Chef Ang has advised.

The cheese ones taste quite nice... not the raisin ones though.. because i didn't put sugar on top.. so the raisins tasted a bit bitter..

***********************************************************************************
Here's the recipe:

Ingredient :

500g bread flour
100g caster sugar
80g condensed milk
5g emulsifier
5g salt
30g shortening
1 egg
180g water
18g yeast

Method:

I just pour everything except the condensed milk, shortening & emulsifier into the cake mixer and mix, mix, mix until the mixture became a dough with low speed.

Then add the remaining ingredients into the cake mixer and mix, mix, mix again until the dough turned into a smoother dough (take 1 small piece of the dough and pull... it should be in "elastic" form, if it breaks, meaning u have to mix longer). Then pour the dough out and placed a damp cloth on it and wait for it to rise. Double the size. (it took me 20 minutes)

After that, cut into small sizes and make the shapes u desire... cover with damp cloth and wait for them to rise again.

Then put cheese/raisin/anything you like and wait for it to rise until double size (preheat the oven now). Bake them in the oven for 15 mins.. and walaaaa... done!!

Practice makes perfect! So i will be trying out with more flavours and shapes!

Aca-aca fighting!

More pimples to come...

Bites Tale : I've got 7 new pimples popped up on my face, all because i was too greedy.

Blame it on the season!!!

It's that time of the year again...

I wanna control... but so hard to... been eating it last wed, sat and yesterday...

I wonder anyone out there know any "secret" on how to control pimple growth after eating durian???

Body felt so heaty now ... drinking lots of water and green beans is not doing much for me...

By the way, what is the reason we can't drink beer and eat durian at the same time?























Pic: I've never seen such big piece of durian before...

I must rediscover myself!!

Bites Tale : Last week, i was feeling like shit.. can't even do anything properly.. not even blogging!! I've fallen into the deepest trap i created for myself.. it's called "The Cave of Loser"...

I am trying to believe in myself and have confidence about who i am and what i am capable of!!!

KK's Secret Garden

Bites Tales : Feeling brain dead today. I think i need to indulge in good food.. but i can't think of what's really nice to eat in KK now.. that's not the usual me!

Written about this new place to hang out in KK at my previous blog before... so now it's not so new anymore.. At last, my friends and i went there for dinner/supper (dinner for them, supper for me because i had my dinner at home before meeting them up.. kekeke)

The place is really nice, especially at night.. but i won't recommend you to go on a rainy night... and i simply got to say i'm quite disappointed with the food there.. may be, it's just that what we ordered were not nice (hopefully)!

These were what we had that night (never think of going there for food anymore.. drinks? may be yeah!) :-


















Fried noodle, forgot what it's called.. i think is something chinese style fried noodle.. comes with a mango jelly - think is RM 7.90.

Verdict : So, so only lah!









I know this looks ugly... almost missed out this dish because i took forever to make my order, my friend nearly finished this when i came back to the table.. This is from the korean food stall - Stir fry beef, served with rice - think is RM 14.

Verdict : Not nice at all!! not worth it!!

I really can't recalled what this is, the western food stall told me this is a Greek cuisine.. Lamb served with pita bread, some sour salad mixture and fresh vege.. think is RM12.90

Verdict : Nothing to shout about, ok lah!

Hmm... not sure about you, but with that pricing, i'll be able to get better food with the same environment elsewhere..

Anyone have recommendation on any nice food to try out there?

Reincarnation??

Bites Tale : Went to mamak with friends last nite, they were showing a ghost movie, starring shu qi, talking about seeing ghost. There was 1 part where they describe the reincarnation of family members who passed away and live thru the next new-born member of the family.


Last sat, i saw this "New Life Post" (新生活报) dated 08.08.07 lying on the table, since i've never read this newspaper before, i pick it up and flipped through... saw this big title on barbados currency..

I shouted : "Yerrr.... how come so like this one?", my eyes were extra big and that time... looking at this,

They look similar, don't they?















A closer look,


















The face of the Barbados 2 Dollar is John Redman Bovell (1855-1928), the one in the other picture (needless for me to say, but..) is Andy Lau... hmm.. 1 "ang moh" and 1 "cina"... but look alike..

Is that strange or what?
