Popiah Basah

Another recipe.. saje la kan kalau tak tulis nanti susah plak nak refer.
I made this utk bawak ke rumah kawan yg mengidam heheh.. nasib jadi. Actually I think I spent several hours nak siapkan kulit popiah tu je... aiyoo.. the last time buat, it was easy peasy.

For Inti:
Carrot - potong panjang2 nipis
Kacang hijau/ buncis
Sengkuang
Kubis - potong halus2
Shrimp (10-12)
Bawang merah + putih (3)
Udang kering (1-2 tbs)
Oyster Sauce (3-5 tbs)
Garam/ Gula

Method: Tumis bawang, udang kering etc.. masukkan shrimp, then segala sayur. At the end masukkan oyste sauce, garam + gula sikit.

Sambal:
Ala this one mcm sambal2 biasa je, just lebihkan bawang putih and gula.

Kulit Popiah:
Flour (1 cup)
Water (3 cups)
Vinegar (2 tbs)
Salt (1 ts)
Method: Ok kulit popiah ni kena buat cair sgt... I dunno why my 2nd attempt tu jadi sticky sikit. But my tip is, buat cair2, and just let the kulit popiah masak for 2 mins or so before terbalik kan.
Before gulung tu, letak a bit of bawang goreng and kacang kisar.

Yummyyy kannn? Nak buat lagi tu... tak tau bila. Sebab memang malassss la sgt  hehehe.. to be honest leceh gile nak buat kuih melayu ni. I'd rather just stare at the pictures, and after several minutes staring, kenyang la kan. Hahah sadis tak..

Whoopie Pie

I came across some pictures of the whoopie pie when I was blog hopping and stalking people haha!
Marvelous Whoopie Pie Nampak sedap gilos kan? Wah kalau dekat Msia sure dah order!

So dah alang2 puasa ganti hari ni, rasa2 nak makan something sweet and yummeh so ape lagi- whoopie pie.
Susah nak cari resepi, it might not be as popular as macaroon and the website above didn't offer any recipe either. Bahan baking kat rumah pun banyak dah habis so, nak tak nak angkut Irfan ke Walmart to get all the ingredients.
I got the recipe from this lady here Whoopie Pie Resepi. I didn't substitute the buttermilk- dah ade kat rumah.

Ingredients:-
For cakes
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder
1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup well-shaken buttermilk 
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 large egg 

For fillings:
Jello Pudding - beli je, malas nak buat plus I don't like to eat raw telur..
 
The thing is, I really really like the look of the first whoopie pie yg kat atas tu- cantik. I want to make something exactly like that or maybe something close.
So here's what I ended up with, close but not as pretty hehe.. I used vanilla pudding instead of cream cheese. I would use whipped cream cheese next time around..

I didn't know how to make that pretty looking filling- rupanya selepas bertanya quite a # of people guna nozzle for cake icing. I told ya I'm not an expert.

What do you think? I added some choc sprinkler just to spice things up. I want it to be unique not exactly  like the original version

Bersepahnye la kan..

From side yg quite blurry

I ate 4! Haha.. Zuhri ate 3 I think. Irfan-0... haish si kecik ni.. Sedap... but if I'm going to make it again- I'd add more butter (3/4 cup instead of 1/2) and use whipped cream cheese as the fillings. The pudding wasn't sweet enough la.. all in all I can say mission accomplished! What do you think?

Ramadhan is here..

Alamak Alhamdulillah Ramadhan is here.. another month of blessings.
My puasa ganti for this year was 30+ days sebulan tak puasa after deliver Irfan on Ramadhan last 2 years plus pindah on Ramadhan last year
Nasib la dah bayar awal2 so I didnt have any problem to prepare for the holy month

My checklist azam for this Ramadhan:
1. Solat Terawikh
2. Bayar long overdue Zakat before raya
3. Gamba Raya to Utusan
4. Baju Raya almost there, Zuhri and Irfan dah ade
5. Kuih Raya tengok la kalau rajin, my first attempt la kot usually order from Gem je
6. Menu Raya akan dipikirkan dgn Wichita crew
7. Nak Raya mana? KC ke Wichita tak tau lagi. Ni kes dilemma raya nak balik kg ke tak
8. Irfan burfday party and openhouse Since Irfan's bday is going to be on 2nd Syawal so ingat nak sekalikan jela
9. Cari keje
10. Kemas and deco rumah before raya
11. Spend time with my boys ahahaha ni dah tak macam azam Ramadhan

Betul ke ni azam Ramadhan. Most of the stuff on the list is for Raya uhuks.

Ok tukar topic. This is something that I made for Irfan last week. It's like burritos or quesadillas. Ala sume Mexican food sama je kan just nama je lain2. Irfan loved it so much, and so did the dada. Nak buat pun senang:
1. Tortillas the Mexican bread yg ala2 capati
2. Grilled steak cut into cubes
3. Shredded cheese
4. Tomatoes cut into cubes
5. A1 steak sauce
Nak add sour cream, avocardo, beans etc silakan. I didnt have all the bahan so I just used the five ingedients.Oh and kena roll ye before you serve it. I didn't have the pic yg dah roll.Google kalau tak tau mcm mana rupanye.
