Jun - July Dim Sum & Daisy Competition

It has been a long time I've not updated this blog but in FB is. So those of you who have FB can tag me there to see my activities. Here I am posting 2 activities i.e. Ajinomoto Dim Sum classes and Daisy competition that I have entered for cookies category and the recipe for my lovely Shrimpcut cookies also available here.

Just last week, I wanted to get the experience in entering a creative competition. Wow! it is really an effort. A week before competition I already started R&D on my new cookie. With all the preparation and excitement, I almost wanted to give up. Here some of the coverage in the papers and my name is on the top list. Too bad I don't have time for decorations. I also learn fruit carving while waiting for the competition.

The one on the right is bamboo charcoal macaron. I made this using French method which is quite easy. It is not the recipe that makes perfect macaron it's the technique that you have to master.

30/9/09 - Happy Birthday Ravi & IT Dept Open House

Happy Belated Birhday Ravi. I made Superman Cheese Cake just for him. Everyone enjoyed this cheese cake.



At the same time we celebrated Hari Raya and invited all our friends to IT open house. Here are some o the IT staff who organised the open day. We decided to have port-luck.



We wanted to make something different so I had an opening ceremony of my new gadget of chocolate fountain. My colleague Azura brought srawberry all the way from Cameron Highland. The strawberry is so huge and lovely. We could cut each strawberry into 6 pieces. The strawberry was like 1.5" X 2" size. She also bought some apple to go with the melting chocolate. I bought some munchy's wafer. I totally forgot to bring a lot of thing i.e. cake stand & fork for the chocolate dip. I should have also brought my bahulu at home to dip into the melting chocolate.



Other than the lovely fountain, I also brought bahulu gulong, kek lapis, sarang burung biscuit and decorated square london almond.

salutan kacang.

Racik memanjang kacang tanah yang dah dibuang kulit yang putih. Ni ada jual di kedai2 yang jenis besar tu.

putih telur.

Caranya:

Pukul butter cup & icing sugar hingga kembang + kuning telur & pukul lagi + vanilla. Tepung dimasukkan sedikit sedikit sampai jadi dough lembut. Jangan keras sangat janji boleh bulatkan dah ok.

Pukul/kocak sedikit putih telur. Ambil dough sebesar ibu jari (Suzi timbang 10gm each). celup dalam putin telur. leperkan sikit & roll keliling dough tadi pada kacang racik. Letak dalam dulang pembakar sampai habis. Bakar dalam oven macam biskut biasa. Bila dah masuk dalam oven dalam 3-5 minit keluarkan/Masa ni dough baru nak naik. Buat lubang (cucuk) di tengah dough dengan chopstik atau tangkai sudu. Masukkan dalam oven semula & bakar hingga masak. Sejukkan. ambil sedikit jan dengan belakang sudu & masukkan ke dalam lubang pada biskut tu. Dah siap simpan dalam bekas kedap udara.
