So once again Rima's guest blogger steps in - the husband. I must be good, cos she always calls in the same guest blogger.
Today is a good day for Rima. The burden she has been carrying, the issues she has been having are finally over - solved today. Bottom line is, we hope that Hairi does not do nonsense anymore and stays out of trouble. Your mum was a wreck for the past few weeks you know... (yes, even her son reads this blog from camp...)

I'm looking forward to Eid. Rima goes all coo coo. Then again she's always coo coo. I mean who bakes as much as she does? I'm glad I have supportive staff who eat whatever is given to them - and they are nice enough to always say "whaa so nice". Take this afternoon for example - I come home from work and she complains of being tired. Why is she tired? Because she went to bed at 2am last night, woke up at 5 for sahur and then slept till 8. When Sonia slept for 1 1/2 (!) hours she decided to make cake kukus and her own new creation: Rima's Truffles (more below).. She needs to rest, but is too degil to do so... Ah well. What to do; mother stubborn, daughter stubborn, grand-daughter stubborn, and her two sisters... aiyoo same pot. Lucky I have nice brothers-in-law - they keep me sane... haha...
Anyway, back to Rima (she's complaining that her readers are falling asleep)...

Hehehe ty hb.. I didnt expect u to write so much! So ok.. I am not gonna bore u guys with more yak yak.. just to let u guys know that once again I appreciate all the doa's.. am blessed.. this morning when i received the good news..

Alhamdullilah Yan.. shukur kehadratnye..
This truffles is so so so much delish than the rum balls.. that rum balls when my hb took a bite he straight away said.. ekk whats this?? he thought all round balls = truffles hahaha
This one he took a bite and he sits back and said... now this is what u called the real truffles!
Its very very nice and u can use just abt any kinda of chocolate cake.. yg belen belen.. yg terbantut .. jgn dibuang.. blend it.. add ganache then salut.. punya lah rich and sedap.. :o))
Mr Guest Writer,as usual the BIG kpo at all time.. :0 Dun complain on our "stubborn head" ya--u chose it and you cant reverse urself out from the "Tijah's Ambon" family!! hehehe...
My sista,M super duper glad the hu ha is over now at last... Thank GOD for all that--so more food cumin to me...hehe..
Muaks, Li-Lin.
that's great to hear, rima!
Sis Lyn... Ambon rocks!! muahhahah
woo hoo, gd for you!
guess i 'll make this gems for raya! i've tried once for an order!
alamakkk! ni yg buat i tak keruan ni. he he... love everything chocolate. and definitely will make this for eid (kut?). and to loose 6kg in such a short time without any medication or sorts? wahh... tapi tak best la turun berat sebab susah ati ek? take care Rima and cook lots and lots of delicious food ya.
You want a comment right.. ok lah I give comment: The rum balls - yuk. Don't try. (Sorry ah, I Mat salleh, very direct).
But these RIMA CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES (promote promote)... sugguh sedap. Like aphrodisiac... :) haha
Alhamdulillah, Syukur.
Best gak ada guest writer lagik. Boleh berkenalan? Princess Sonia lak bila nak jadi guest writer nih?
Coba blog sikit ape ke menda problem U tu Rima? Buzz Z...bee
Tell me abt it Edi!! :)
Buat for raya?? Adehhh macam gitew if 5 orang dtg rumah.. Boleh keluarkan 5 biji saje cos this thing is so so rich hehe
Yan i can turun berat badan dgn mendadak if i am super down.. I lost 15kg just like that when i had problem with my ex so 6kg is nothing.. U tengok aje.. I can gain it back easily waktu raya heheh
Buat ah for raya.. Ppl will love u for that ahakksss
obstacles are inevitable and unavoidable. i still remember an ustaz telling me "allah akan uji orang yg dia sayang". so dear, u r the lucky one chosen by god to be tested.
easy said than done, but when once its over and u looked back again, im sure u'll be smiling ear to ear. anyway, its a testament of patience and maturity. so cheer up ok dear.
wah, ur guest writer rocks la.
anyway, will definitely give a try on this new dessert.
p/s- ur "almost famous" is a hit at my home... :)
Aduhh hb.. Arent u supposed to be working?? Yess u mat salleh always very direct.. Lucky i very the season already.. If u hv gotten married to a younger woman probably she will chase u with parang u know kahkahkah

Hello to u too blue4sky
Ty hopefully the recipes menepati citarasa u.. Kesian ur son n i'm sure he will be fine in no time.. Go ahead n try this truffles.. Just make sure u use gd chocolate for the ganache yah :)
hello rima,
my name is winnie. found your blog soooo interesting. have been reading it for days now. even tried one of your recipe yesterday, the steam mocha cake ....oolala !!! my kids & hb love it so much ... thx a lot . will definitely try out more of your cakes ....
meanwhile have a blessed bulan ramadhan and a happy upcoming hari raya ....
Salam Rima it has been a while since i last visited n leave my footprint on here:).I love truffles so this recipe is def a must try.Thanks for sharing another great recipe and i hope you and the family is having a wonderful Ramadan.Gosh i miss Sg esp this time of the year.Btw,was reading ur previous post on ur nephew's birthday,i must say i love ur mum's house and her china collection.simply gorgeous.TC.
Hi Winnie
I am glad u tried that one cos that cake is one of our fav too.. I hv to make a few for the upcoming Eid so am looking forward to that..
Ty for coming by and enjoy ur stay hehehe
Take care!
Salam ZeeB
Salam Ramadhan to u and ur family too.. I can imagine how u rasa right now cos masa ramadhan orang melayu kita ni sibuk kat bazaar Geylang tu heheh..
How long hv u been living there?? tak balik Sg ke this year for Raya??
My mom ni memang suka benda benda gitew.. when she nak beli barang she always tanya pendapat I.. I am into all that but my hb tak so the only thing i can do is to help my mom spend her money on things like that hehehe
Cuba truffles tu cos memang enak :o)
I have been living on main land USA for over a year now.Before that i was in Hawaii for 3 and Japan for 2.Living the life as a nomad.The last time i went home pun was 2 years ago for raya.
This year tak balik lah since my daughter starts kinder in Sept.Insyallah, i balik at the end of the year or next year whenever school lets out.
I love tau benda benda antique especially the almari & china collection at ur mum's gives a slight vintage touch to the house.I think most men r that way when it comes to buying & decorating the house heheh but hey your husband makes a really good blog guest though.And i am impress by his command of the malay language.May you guys have a good Ramadan and a wonderful Eid.
Ahhh I hv been to the US a couple of times but ever since i got married to my hb.. I tak de chance gi sana lagi.. we travel quite a bit but never to the US together.. entah lah.. maybe someday bila i can persuade him but in the meantime our long haul will always be to Europe.
My hb memang can speak Malay very very well.. amah dia dulu orang melayu so first word dia pun malay jadi tak hairan lah why he can speak our language very well.. he can also speaks good Mandarin, German and French.. kira tak leh klentong dia hehehe
Akum rima,
how are u both... i hope u get enuf rest ya. Btw i wanted to tried out ur truffles (since i bake choc cake yesterday and left some for ur truffles). I made choc glazing (thicken cream + dark choc) yesterday and ada lebih. can i use it to replace the ganache? or is it a different thing? thanks
Shal
We hv been well.. Tks for asking..
Of cos u can.. My truffles is all abt leftovers hahaha.. Last wkend i tried using kek lapis+ganache (kek tu fm all edge of my lapis cake).. Rasanye same aje :))
akum rima,
yum yum la ur truffles, everybody loves it, hb said the raisins adds texture into it, which makes it very sedaaapppp....
my 2yrs old daughter loves it but she said 'tak mau kismis' she loves chocolate but she like it plain, she loves raisin but raisin alone fussy eater.
i even used orange juice in a box pemalas hahahks...
tq yek, sungguh sedap sekali and addictive. btw kalau i nak buat banyak macam mana nak simpan huh? nak stack takut penyek lak. how???
Shal
Glad the whole family suka.. if ur daughter tak suka kismis.. use raisin lah.. i use just abt what i hv in my fridge.. janji u cook it over low heat dgn orange juice..
If u nak buat banyak banyak u hv freeze the balls dulu.. bila nak dihidang kan u salut dgn chocolate the night bef or paginye.. i did this during my open house..gentel 3 pagi.. 7 pagi i salut dgn chocolate :o)
