Dragon Fruit Jelly Mooncakes （火龙果燕菜月饼）

Tired of traditional mooncakes? Why not try this agar-agar jelly dragon fruit mooncake that has egg yolk in it? It is cold and pleasant. The cool part is that baking is not necessary.

Fruit season is currently in full swing, and prices are reasonably low as well. It now costs Rm9 per kg instead of Rm15 per kg. It's an excellent deal. I started to think about alternative ways to consume its remarkable beauty and taste besides as a fruit. The Mid-Autumn Festival will take place in less than a month, so this jelly dragon fruit mooncake is ideal.

The technique of making agar-agar mooncakes is simple, but the egg yolk that appears when I demold and slice the jelly mooncake always surprises me. I highly recommend mooncakes with egg yolks since they are more attractive.

These jelly mooncakes are made up of three components which are the egg yolk, the filling, and the skin layer. Let us get all the ingredients to hand to make this refreshing dragon fruit jelly mooncakes.

Ondeh-Ondeh in 3 flavour （椰丝球）

Today made a popular dessert in Malaysia, “Ondeh Ondeh”, a type of Nyonya recipe. It is also called “Buah Melaka” because it looks like the fruit of the Malacca tree. The procedure of making is easy. The flavoured glutinous rice balls have grated fresh coconut on the outside and melting Gula Melaka, or palm sugar, inside. The white, milky coconut shreds and little balls of various colours appear fresh and natural. and has a charming appearance. The glutinous rice balls, soft glutinous and chewy are determined by the amount of water and cooking time. The softer the rice balls, the more water and more time it boiled. We like our coconut shreds to be moist and crisp, the melted Gula Melaka to be rich and flavorful, and the texture to be somewhat mushy and sticky. It seems like the nostalgic flavour of my childhood is returning. In addition to the traditional pandan flavour, I have included instructions for making it with sweet potatoes and pumpkin. Of all the flavours of "ondeh...

The white layer part that looks like shredded coconut which is actually made from the mixture of agar powder, fresh coconut water and coconut milk. Grate it after it is set...

Braised Pork Belly Char Siu on Stove

Grilling char Siu is time-consuming? Yes, indeed!! The marinating and cooking steps involved in grilling char Siu might take a lot of time. In order to allow the flavors to seep into the meat, the traditional process involves marinating the pork for a few hours, often overnight. Additionally, grilling might take some time, particularly if you want that distinctive char. And also create a crispy surface and smoky flavor. You might say can make char siu, or Chinese BBQ pork with oven baking, or air frying. Oven baking produces an excellent crust and a balance of juiciness. Air fryer is the quickest way to produce a crispy outside and a soft within, although it might not cook as uniformly as oven baking. Today I am sharing a super easy stove top version. You even get a lovely sauce to go with it, and the results are just incredible. It lacks charred or roasted flavor of charcoal because it is cooked entirely on the hob. Trust me, this method is definitely ...
