“Kiaw” should be called “meat dumpling” in English right? Hahahah… Today, I’m teaching you how to do fried meat dumpling. As if I’m the pro, this is my frist time doing it. I don’t even now how to wrap the meat with the “skin”. Hahaha… I simply wrapped and then fried it. Hahahahha… Make sure you add some salt and peppers in the meat and mix well. By the way, usually pork is used. I had never heard of chicken or other meat are used in “Kiaw” π You can get the “skin” at supermarket(sometimes) and vegetable/meat market.
The result? I didn’t put enough salt and the way I wrapped them had caused them to collect oil. Hahahah.. Super oily! It’s crispy though hahaha… Will try again next time. This is great for tea time or just eat it for fun.

My First Pancakes
After making the waffles, I think we must make pancakes with the Pancake Mix else it would feel like something isn’t right. π
Same ingredients, same measurements, 1 cup of Pancaka Mix and 3/4 cup of water, and mix them well.
Instead of using the waffle maker, use a pan or skillet.
Instructions:
1. Heat the pan or skillet with a small amount of oil, estimated aboout 2 tablespoons of cooking oil or shortenings. NO BUTTER! DO NOT USE BUTTER! I tried it twice and the results were disappointing.
2. When the oil is hot enough, pour the batter into the pan or skillet. When the top bubbled, check to see whether the bottom can be lifted up or not. If it can, then flip it.
* I’m not good in flipping pancake or omelette hence the result is what you see here π
3. Serve it with butter and honey or with anything that you like.
The final result… Ugly pancake. Hahahah…
My First Waffles
Bought Pankcake Mix the other day. Decided to do waffles with it as the box stated that we can make waffles from it. I did it for my breakfast.
Here’s the ingredients:
1 cup of Pancake Mix
3/4 cup of water
Instructions:
1. Mix the Pancake Mix with water. Make sure they are well mixed.
2. Pour the batter into the waffle maker.
3. When it’s done, the green light will on.
4. Take the waffle out. Serve with butter and honey or anything that you like.
* The top wasn’t nice but the bottom was so nice! I’m not sure why. I had 3 attempts and this was the best I could get. What’s wrong with it? Hmm…
Tomato Beef Linguine
OK! It seems like this cooking time these few days π I had always wanted to try to cook pasta not that I had never tried them before, I did a few times but weren’t satisfied with the result. For this, I just added in whatever I think can be added. I didn’t follow any recipe just followed my instinct and used the easiest way as possible.
Ingredients:
– Portion of linguine is up to you.
– Portion of choped garlic is up to you too.
– 1 tin of Prego Spaghetti Sauce(tomato, basil and garlic), it can serve up to 3-4 persons though the tin stated it’s for 2-3, ah well… it’s up to you again. [Updated: I know why now :p Thanks Pretenders, I added half tin of water because I didn’t want to waste the sauce so I diluted those in the tin with water. You can add water if you want to becuase the original texture of the sauce is very thick!]
– Minced beef, if you like a lot of beef, then add more otherwise add less.
– 1 tbsp. of cooking oil or olive oil
Instructions:
1. Boil a pot of water with a bit of salt to taste.
2. Put the linguine in until it’s cooked whereby the colour isn’t that yellowish anymore, it’s something like what you see in the picture above, on the right. While waiting for it to cook, prepare the sauce.
4.Heat oil in wok, add chopped garlic. Then, cook and stir until it turns brown.
5. Add minced beef and stir fry until beef is cooked.
6. Pour Prego Spaghetti Sauce into the wok and let it simmers.
7. Pour the tossed linguine into the sauce and stir fry for a while.
8. Finally it’s ready to be served π
9. You can add some garnishings such as cheese powder or chopped fresh parsley.
The result? Not so bad π
It could be the sauce used because previously I tried with other brand, it’s not that good.
Light & Fluffy Banana Cake
This is my first time making banana cake. Usually mom did it herself. As we had some over-ripe bananas, we decided not to waste it by making cake from it. I got this recipe from mama-diary. I had skipped one ingredient.
Ingredients:
6oz butter
6oz castor sugar
2 large eggs
3 1/2 tbsp yoghurt (I skipped this)
3 large banana, mashed
8oz self raising flour, sifted
If you are using plain flour, use 8 oz plain/cake flour with 1tsp baking powder and 1tsp bicarbonate soda
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celcius.
2. Cream butter & sugar till light and fluffy.
3. Add eggs, one at a time and beat well.
4. Add smashed banana till well blend. It looks a bit yucky if you know what I mean π
5. Fold in flour to mixture and pour into a greased baking pan.
6. Bake at 180 degree Celcius for 45min – 1hr or till skewer comes out clean.
TADA! π It’s overbaked hahahaha…
The one you see here is the bottom, the top was ugly π too many holes because we poked and poked to make sure it’s cooked. First two times, it’s not cooked. Bake for the 3rd time then it’s done but overbaked. This is because the tray was a bit small, it’s too thick in the middle that’s why need longer time to set. Must go shop for bigger tray.
My first banana cake but I’m not quite into eating banana cake *blek*
