Let’s make traditional steamed rice cake “Pak Tong Gou 白糖糕 ”. That we always eat since young. It is thick and smooth, with a hint of sweetness and sourness and a fragrant hint of pandan. The main ingredients used are rice flour fermented with yeast and white sugar. Adding yeast to ferment the batter will produce many small bubbles, which makes the steamed white sugar cake taste softer and more delicious. The traditional method is complicated to make, but now experienced foodies have simplified the steps. Like steamed Malay Cake （马来糕） , needs to be fermented with yeast. The difference is that the fermented pores of this cakes are elastic and non-sticky when eaten and are tough and not easy to break when folded. The taste has the sweet aroma of rice, and it will not become sour if it is fermented for the right time. On the other hand, if you like a sour taste, you can extend the fermentation time. To prevent the batter from layering or precipitating during steaming, the hot boil pand

  Have you ever tried stir-fried glass noodles with sambal?   If you haven’t, you’re in for a treat! This glass noodle stir fry is delicious and bursting with flavors! It is prepared with a range of ingredients. The combination of vegetables, protein, and carbohydrates. The vegetable that I am using is French bean. Besides, the dish also contains potatoes, tempeh, tofu, and tofu sheet. While the shrimp provides a protein-packed base. Makes it rather full even though eaten without rice. It is truly as satisfying as a one pot meal. The secret to bringing all these flavors together is the sambal which you may refer to Nasi Lemak Sambal about the ingredients of making it. It’s spicy, savory, slightly sweet, and just a little bit salty, with a rich umami flavor that’s hard to resist. These glass noodles have a tangy taste from the tamarind sauce in addition to the umami and spice from the sambal. Although it can be slightly tart, the flavour of the tamarind is never overpowering.

I'm thrilled with how the mooncakes turned out. These Snowy Mooncakes with pandan coconut flavor are not just flavorful but also visually appealing. The crust is made from glutinous rice flour which provides a soft and sticky texture. Rice flour provides smoothness and non-stickiness and wheat starch which makes the mooncake appear crystal clear.   In Chinese it’s called “bing pei” ( 冰皮月饼 ) literally ice skin. Since it’s unbaked and made with rice flour, it’s very similar to mochi. It’s also supposed to be less caloric and healthier than traditional mooncakes. You can make this snowy mooncake with stable fillings which are soft and glutinous texture if you are using an accurate ratio formula. These mooncakes are made with natural green that come from the fresh pandan leaves. The snow skins have a clear stamp pattern if you have kneaded just right. And can be easily cut after freezing. The filling is cooked with desiccated coconut and coconut cream. And so, the filling has a d

  Nasi lemak can be regarded as Malaysia’s ‘national treasure’ dish. Every morning, you can easily find Nasi Lemak in those Mamak stalls, Chinese coffee shops, on the roadside or even in a 5 Star hotel. You can eat it for Breakfast, Brunch, Dinner, Mid Meal or otherwise. Some are ready wrapped with banana leaves and grease proof paper. You can have a basic version, and you can have various condiments to go along with it.  This dish is normally added with a hot spicy sauce (sambal) and various garnishes, including fresh cucumber slices, small fried anchovies (ikan bilis), roasted peanuts, and hard-boiled or fried eggs. And sometimes it also serves with sambal squid, curry chicken, beef rendang, fried fish, stir-fried vegetables. When talking about nasi lemak, that hot spicy sauce (sambal) is a must. It is the soul of Nasi Lemak. A plate of nasi lemak without sambal will not have the taste that nasi lemak should have. As well as the rice must taste with coconut flavor. That’s the p

If you want something more exciting than ice cream, this is the perfect warm weather dessert that won't melt! For the mango base for this dessert, I am using Mango Susu, you can use whatever mango you have, even frozen mango is work. The only condition is the mango is ripe and sweet. And make sure that you peel the mango skin far enough because if you peel the skin too thin, you will taste a bit of bitterness. And I am going to blend it with orange juice, the acidity and citrusy quality will accent and brighten up the sweetness of the mango. For the setting, I am using agar-agar for making this dessert. It is kind of like gelatin; it is set in liquid. However, unlike gelatin, this is plant base, if you have got vegetarian friends coming over, you could treat them with this dessert. The most important thing about using this agar-
