This is my second time making milkshake. First time was yearssssssss back… It was mango milkshake. This time I decided to make milkshake again because it kept playing in my mind last night when I hit the bed.

Milkshake is very easy to do, you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to do it.

Dad bought a tub of white chocolate flavour ice cream with marshmallow the other day. I was thinking hmm… It might be interesting to have white chocolate milk shake with marshmallows. You see the pink and yellow things in the milkshake? Those are from the ice cream itself.

Very simple to do. The amount of the ingredients are really up to you, so long you have them. You can have equal amount of milk and ice cream or less milk more ice cream or more milk less ice cream. Milk can be any milk from the box or make it from milk powder.

Ingredients:

• White chocolate flavour ice cream with marshmallow (White Fantasy from King’s)
• Milk
• Ice cubes (up to you)

Steps:

• Pour milk into the shaker.
• Add in ice cream into the shaker.
• Add ice cubes into the shaker.
• Secure the shaker’s lid and start shaking!
• Done! Serve in cups/glasses.

Do you see that very familiar shaker in the photo? Hehehe… This is something very old, free gift from Nescafe. However, I threw it away after done this milkshake because it’s broken. Actually it had some hairline fractures but I didn’t bother. With shaking I did just now, it finally leak and cannot be used anymore.

If you don’t have a shaker, just get any bottle or container that can stand the shaking of ice cubes with tight lid will do.

Are you salivating? I know I am! This is one of my favourite food. Once I ate too much and got stomachache because this is a sourish dish. Yummy… Composing this post make me salivate, I kept swallowing my saliva.

Kerabu is Asian salad. You can find them easily in Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Brunei, and maybe some other parts of Asia which I’m not so sure. Basically, you can find it in any country surrounding Malaysia.

There are many ways to do it and many ingredients can be used. I love young mango kerabu. The taste is very unique, sour(young mango), sweet(sugar), salty(belacan or the soya sauce) and spicy(chili).

The photo here is young mango with light soya sauce, anchovies, chilies, onions, and sugar. Just toss them and you are ready to savour it. *slurp* There are many ways and many ingredients that you can use but this is how I like mine. You can type “kerabu” in your search engine and you will surely find tonnes of recipes for it 😉

Don’t ask for any measurement, it’s up to you.

Do not eat kerabu if you have an empty stomach because it will cause you stomachache. Also not too much too. Young mango is quite sour and it can cause upset stomach. So eat in moderation.

You can eat it on its own, I prefer it this way or you can eat it with your rice.

DELICIOUS! Make me crave for one now…

I don’t really like the usual tang yuan or glutinous rice ball but I like those with fillings especially with peanut.

Went shopping the other day with my parents and I saw this frozen glutinous rice ball (RM4+) and decided to buy one to try.

It’s very easy to cook this. Great for lazy people like me ;p Just take out from the freezer, boil a pot of water, put the rice balls in and wait until they float. Add sugar to the water to taste.

Be careful though… They burst easily once they’re cooked as you can see in the photo, there are some peanuts in the syrup.

I really like it. Quick and easy.

Anyway, what I shared earlier is the lazy way. There’s a recipe provided at the back of the packet. I’ll share it here with you, also as a reference for myself:

Ingredients:
2 packets of glutinous rice ball
250gm soya beans
15 cups of water (I have no idea 15 cups refer to big, medium or small cup, I guess if you want it thick then use medium or small else use big cups for more diluted soya milk)
Sugar (depending on how sweet you want it to be)

Instructions:-
Make soya bean milk:

1. Wash soya beans and soak it overnight.
2. Blend the soya beans by adding water until it turns into liquid paste.
3. Boil remaining water.
4. Pour the soya bean paste into the boiled water and stir frequently until boil.
5. Filter the boiled soya bean milk.
6. Boil it again for 5 minutes.

If you want to save time or feel lazy, maybe just go to the market to buy the ready made soya bean milk will do. It’s the same thing. Not the box one OK? However, if you want to use the one from the box, I don’t think it’s wrong at all. It’s up to you.

Prepare glutinous rice balls:

1. Take out from the freezer.
2. Boil a pot of water.
3. Put the rice balls in and wait until they float.

Serve:
Serve the glutinous rice balls with the soya bean milk. Add sugar to taste.

One last recipe from the previous demo class. In fact this is just simple recipe to make jelly. Sometimes we did the first few steps wrongly but it’s usually fool proof.

Here are the ingredients:

• 1 tin cocktail fruit
• 60g instant jelly powder
• 1200ml Water
• 200g Sugar

Instructions:

1. Boil water.
2. When almost boil, add in sugar.
3. When completely boil, add in jelly powder.
4. Stir well.
5. Add a bit of syrup from the cocktail fruit if you want to add some flavour.
6. Place cocktail fruits into the mould. Up to your preference, you want more you put more.
7. Pour jelly into the mould.
8. Cool it and then place in the fridge.

Very easy right?

Actually I found this recipe long time ago at Jen Jen’s Place and thought of trying it out but I’m so lazy. I save it as draft for so long.

Before CNY, I bought the Cheese Sticks from tHe Spring CNY Bazaar. It’s not sweet at all. I love it! I notice there’s black pepper in Cheese Sticks. Then I remember I saw black pepper listed in this recipe before. I think this is the recipe for it, should be similar.

• 1/3cup fresh milk

Instructions:

1. Mix flour, grated cheddar cheese, black pepper, salt and butter in a large bowl. Mix them well.
2. You can use your hand or the mixer at low speed. You should be getting crumble texture at this time.
3. Mix in the fresh milk and knead.
4. The dust the table and rolling pin slightly.
5. Take 1/3 of the dough and knead into a ball.
6. Flatten out on the dusted table using the rolling pin.
7. Cut into desire shape and placed on butter baking tray.
