I told ya that i hv been busy in the kitchen lol.. so ok since my mission today was to make use of what i hv in my fridge.. i decided to use up the mashed bananas that i had prepared a few days ago.. I dont feel like baking muffin nor banana cake this time round.. had wanted to try and bake banana cookies but not too sure if everyone will like it sooooo i decided to try out aunty yochana steamed soft banana cake...

Had baked sardine puff for the family to munch in the evening.. aarghhhhh this is what happens when Hairi is home... I am constantly preparing something in the kitchen.. thank god for  Aircon!! hehehe






No recipe cos really all u need to prepare in advance is sambal sardine (sardine cooked with chilli paste) and instant puff pastry.. cut pastry into squares.. fold all four sides to the center and brush each puff with egg yolk.. bake it in preheated oven of 175C for 20mins..

HK flour is low gluten bleached flour.. also used in making Pao.. do u guys hv cake flour there?? I am not too sure if u can use all purpose flour but u can definately subtitute it with cake flour or any superlite flour..
