Weekend with the family!


Its 4:40am.. we just got home fm Mustaffa Center.. I had wanted to do a wordless entry but nayyy .. no matter how late it is now.. i hv to type something... right?? hehe

These few rounds the only way for hb and i to go on a date is when sonia is fast asleep and hairi is back fm his outing.. we usually will end up going to MC since its a 24hrs thingy.. its perfectly fine by us as long as we get to go out as a couple ahemm



Early today hb took us to Ikea and also to the Mayer sale.. yep.. they are having sale again and guess what i got for myself?? a new scraper blade for my KA.. i broke mine a few months ago and since they are slashing the price to S$63.. i thought why not ey.. I had also wanted to get the glass mixer bowl but was put off when the sales person told me that there is no discounted price on that.. yikes! and oh i also bought myself a new pressure cooker.. original price is S$369 and they were going for $69! worth buying!

The Kitchen Aid mixer however is going for S$659 (white, green, yellow and cream) so to those that are looking for a new mixer why not go there later.. sale ends at 6pm on 21st Aug.. here the details ok..



So ok.. enough abt the mayer sale.. Mom called all of us to go to her place for iftar.. i didnt hv much time on hand since we had planned to go to this mayer sale.. i decided to whip up coconut blossom since its one of the hot favs among the kids.... and also the adults and since i was in a hurry i decided to use the big fire to steam my coconut blossom and this is what i got.. an open aka mekar steamed coconut blossom hahaha.. the blossoms were gone even bef everyone called it a night!



Ingredients
3 cold eggs
250 gm. sugar
10 ozs. (about 280 to 300 gm.) Softasilk flour or any superfine flour (Hong Kong flour)
2 1/2 tsp. baking powder - OMG i realised i forgot to add baking powder hahaha
1 Tbsp. ovalette
130 gm. (5 ozs.) coconut cream (can buy the box coconut milk e.g. Kara)
30 gm. pandan juice (blend about 6 pandan leaves) (i opted)
1 tsp. pandan paste
(i used 160g coconut cream and 1tsp pandan paste)


Method:
1. Beat all the ingredients together until thick and fluffy.
2. Scoop 1 Tbsp. of batter into madeleine mould (lined with paper cup), top up with 1 tbsp. of coconut filling and then another 1 Tbsp. of batter. I used piping bag to pipe out my batter
3. Steam over high heat for 15 mins.


Coconut fillings
Ingredients
250 gm. grated coconut
30 gm. castor sugar
100 gm. gula melaka (palm sugar)
60 gm. water
1 tsp. cornflour
2 pcs. pandan leaves - cut into small pieces

Method:
(1) Cook sugar, gula melaka and water in a wok till sugar melts.
(2) Add in grated coconut and pandan leaves and fry till dry.
(3) Sprinkle cornflour on top and stir till well mixed.
(4) Cool before using.



Tadaaaaa.. when i called mom in the morning to ask her whats cooking.. she said.. RAHSIA (secret) hehe... to us, the Kassims, whose IC states: "Javanese" as race .. Nasi Ambeng is the bomb hahaha

Mom also cooked additional dishes like sambal sotong kering. ayam lemak cili padi and her son-in-law aka hb's fav dish.. rendang!


Everyone was there... yep... including my son! oh did i tell ya that he got himself a new motorbike even tho right now hes taking his big bike licence? haishhh why cant he take car licence instead... anak ... anak...

Hi Rima. So impressed that you all keep the traditional Mengkuang mat, I have not seen it for ages - we used it a lot when I was small. Like your mekar cups.

Aisayman Rima, nasi ambeng, kok ada gambaar pulak, pepagi ni buat terliur aja, worth doing it kalau makan berjemaah lagu tu. Mayer sales dah ada? Hish-hish... kalau tahu boleh buat weekend drive down there to get extra bowl for KA. Yes, last sales I got the pressure cooker and worth to buy it. Selamat hari raya ya, kita raya di Spore juga nanti tapi 2nd n 3rd day saja.

Hi Rima,

Sonia looks so lovely. But I think green fingernail will suit this apam better :). She seems to have put on a bit weight and looking a bit more matured than before.

Your hubby so pandai, he knows how to duduk bersila on the floor and eat with hands :)

Thanks for informing about the sale.

Regards,
Sally

Lee said...

Hi Rima, wow! I love these. Anything with coconuts, I adore.
Can see you have a black belt in cooking.
And really nice green too. They look really good....Your cute daughter loves it too. Nice pics. Like 3D.....

There is nothing more spectacular on this Earth than that of a beautiful wife, mother in the act of cooking, baking for her loved ones.

You have a nice day and keep a song in your heart.
Best regards.
Lee.

Yat Maria said...

Hubby said...

6kg can only achieve through:

A) Fasting
B) Stress hb
C) Stress Sonia
D) Stress everything else which actually doesnt need stressing about..

= 6kg
