A long overdue book to recommend, but never too late.
And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie.

Awesome thriller for mystery lovers.

failed cream puff

cream fluff more like it.
or u can call it cream-puff-turned-turtle!
pastry failed in looks but not in taste. ^^



creamy cream~

1Malaysia cream puff cos my sis put it on a "banana leave", quote Shern.

ENJOY!!
credits of recipe, which i succeeded doing the first time: (gone wrong cos of my own mistakes the second time) to MAHALO--> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDJgLwqhSRI and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FA8dIHf5W2I&feature=relmfu

TAKOYAKI~

Takoyaki means octopus grill.
"Tako" means octopus, yaki means grill.
Made this after a failed attempt to run out to watch Harry Potter 7 II. So when we are mad, we cook and eat. LOL
sprinkled with seaweed and squid flakes

a lil mayo to top it!

replacement tako --> crabstick or prawn

homemade takoyaki!!
credits to Micky Wern - my imoto-chan for cooking this. ^^

Patis Cocoa

Cheese tart

Yummy greatness, esp for the cheese lovers

From Patis Cocoa
Patis Cocoa is a bakery house in Bandar Puteri, Puchong.
Too bad I didn't get a picture of their cream puff. I was too indulged in putting them in my tummy.
The cream puffs were glorious too! Somehow, I only had one chance to try. When I went back a couple of times, they were somehow sold out! T-T
Cream puff: 4.5/5
Cheese tart: 4.5/5
Egg tart: 4/5
Bread: Good~


I still want the cream puff!! ^^

COW JUMP!!

One of my favourite healthy homemade meal of all time.
It's so green it can make a cow "jump" with joy! hence the name "cow jump".
Nah~ just kidding, but seriously. You will know why as we go along.
Here it is:
Fish crackers aka Keropok

Clockwise from top left: cucumber, long beans,  lemongrass,  daun kesom, daun pegaga. (I think there's another herb, but I can't recall the name)

Fried grated coconut (fried without oil)

Ikan panggang aka smoked fish

Budu aka fermented fish sauce

onion

rice cooked with natural juice from herbs

mixed it all in, without any particular sequence

top with budu (flavor it according to your taste, budu can be very salty, so a lil will do)

mix and stir them all, like the Malay will say "Gaul gaulkan". Then DIG IN, YALLZ!!
This is a Malay/Siam dish. "Kau Jam" in Thai means Salad Rice. Well, the greens that go into this sure is a healthy salad meal!
For your record, I'm no Malay. None of my family is. But my grandma sure can cook like one!
Advice: I usually don't take so much rice cos once you mix it all in, it'll be a big pile!
You can also try it with other veges or side dishes.  
Absolutely recommended to those who liked it healthy.
Verdict: 5/5
