I need to finish up the bottled orange juice that we bought. Since I still had some cream cheese left, I decided to make orange butter cheese cake. I reduced the sugar thinking that the orange juice was quite sweet. I didn’t taste it before using it haha… Anyway, it ended up not bad. The cake was rich, moist and buttery. Not too sweet too. Try it out.

Ingredients:

125g salted butter (room temperature)
75g cream cheese (room temperature)
40g castor sugar (if you want it to be sweeter, use 70g)
3 eggs (Size B)
A dash of vanilla essence
125g self-rising flour (sifted)
1/4 cup orange juice (fresh/bottled/boxed of your choice)
Orange zest (optional)

Instructions:

The mixer speed I used was “1” throughout the process.

1. Cream salted butter and cream cheese for 1-2 minutes.
2. Add sugar gradually while creaming. Cream for 5 minutes.
3. Add eggs one by one and vanilla essence. Beat for 10 minutes.
4. Fold in sifted self-rising flour until incorporated.
5. Add orange juice (and orange zest if you have) and continue folding until incorporated.
6. Pour the batter into a greased/lined baking tray. I use a 2lb loaf tin.
7. Bake in preheated oven at 160 degrees Celsius for 45-50 minutes. It’s ready once the skewer comes out clean.
8. Remove from the baking tin and cool on the rack.
9. Serve or store in a container. Can last 2-3 days.

It’s my first time cooking Sarawak Laksa single-handedly. Filming and cooking on my own wasn’t easy. Finally I got the videos all up. I’m compiling it here for easy reference. This exclusive recipe was shared to me by a friend. I was asked to make a video with it. So, here you go! It’s not your typical Sarawak Laksa broth. You see it here first! It’s thick and flavourful. Everything I used in the videos were not sponsored.

This crispy fish fillet snack is very addictive. It’s so easy to make. Just need to get your favourite brand of fish fillet snack. Get Dahfa dried fish fillet snack here https://invl.io/clmhxzv , I’m using this brand.

Cut into the size and shape you want. Arrange it on the baking tray. Make sure it’s not overlapped. Then, bake it in a preheated oven at 110 degrees Celsius for about 25 minutes. Leave it to cool and immediately store in an airtight container.

I would recommend you to store it in a Tupperware. Not just any plastic container. The crispiness lasted for weeks in it. I tried storing in other container but the crispiness was lost few hours later.

Feel free to try it out and let me know 😉

It’s my first time having luo si fen (螺螄粉). I always want to try it but dare not to. The smell can be overwhelming. I’m afraid that if I ordered it in the shop, I couldn’t finish it. Usually, it is not cheap!

Then one day, I saw there’s offer at the supermarket for the instant luo si fen. I decided to buy it to try. Here’s the video of me unboxing and cooking it. Just follow the instructions printed on the packaging will do.

Oh boy! The smell was so strong and it stunk the whole house *LOL* The base is actually made from river snail. The smelliness seemed to be from the bamboo shoot instead of the snail soup. However, when eating it, it’s actually quite appetizing. Started with one mouth and you kept going for second, third, and more.

Beware! The aftertaste actually lingered in the mouth and throat for quite a while. You might give out smelly breath hahaha! Just like after eating durian.

Anyway, I would say that luo si fen an acquired taste. It’s acceptable to me but definitely not something I’ll crave for. Have you ever tried it before? What do you think? Do you like it?

Trying to clear the coconut milk that I had. Hence, the idea of using coconut milk instead of milk for semperit came up. I’m making mini ones. If you want to make the normal sized ones, just go ahead. No change in recipe. Just the amount of dough you pipe for each cookies is different. You might need longer time too if you make bigger sized ones.

The recipe can make about 150 pieces of mini semperit (depending on the amount of dough you’re using for each piece)

Ingredients:
125g salted butter (room temperature)
45g castor sugar
1 egg yolk
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp vanilla essence
160g plain flour
60g cornstarch
2 tbsp coconut milk/evaporated milk

Instructions:

1. Cream butter with sugar, egg yolk, salt, and vanilla essence until light, fluffy and creamy.
2. Add in coconut milk/evaporated milk and continue creaming until incorporated.
3. Sift in plain flour and cornstarch.
4. Mix till incorporated.
5. Pump with semperit pump. Here’s where I bought the pumps https://invol.co/cl9q0ki
6. Freeze for at least 1/2 hour before baking it.
7. Bake in preheated oven at 150 degrees Celsius for 35-40 minutes.
8. Let it cool and store it in an airtight container.
